The thing about Ian creating his own cartoon where he voices the main villain is that he is an R!Bill, and in the show Bill is voiced by Alex Hirsch, who created the cartoon, and that makes me irrationally happy.

So I have to apologise for the unannounced, unexpected month-and-a-half hiatus. I found out by trial and error (mostly error) that I can’t consistently update two longfics while also consistently working on a novel. I’m going to finish this and Imbalance, but after that, I’m planning to take a step back from fic to focus more on my original fiction. I hope you’ll check out @katesummervsthemultiverse  if you’re interested in what I’ve been getting up to!

The first thing that caught the eye, entering Gravity Falls, were the cliffs.

It had been true in 2012 and it was true now, a little over a thousand years later. The valley in which the town nestled sloped gently downwards, only to abruptly terminate in a towering wall of rock. The cliffs loomed over the valley like enormous sentinels, keeping watch over everything that lay before them. One of the huge outcroppings of bare stone that hung over the valley had lost its top, a chunk of rock almost the size of the town itself sliding off and crashing into the base of the opposite cliff, but the distinctive UFO shape could still be made out, if you knew what you were looking for.

Gravity Falls had changed too much, and not at all.

When Ian woke up, the other side of the bed was empty.

The covers were all rumpled and pushed down to the foot of the bed, the blue light on the coffeemaker was on, and the window was forced wider than it had been last night, wide enough to blow the curtains out into the room like a couple of very ugly snot-green-damask ghosts. Somehow, it was still unbearably hot in the room.

Ian patted the mattress beside him, but it was only about as warm as the rest of the room. He couldn’t tell how long Mira must have been up before he was.

HC: Mira can play a mean kazoo. Ian regrets deeply buying her one. The kazoo haunts him.

transcendence-au:

The first one was a tiny little plastic toy that he got her as a playful joke item, like gifting a container of play-doh or a vial of bubble liquid or those colorful soapy ‘crayons’ made for drawing on the bathtub wall.

He didn’t expect to regret it.

#she now has a large collection#including a high-quality large plastic one shaped a little like a trumpet which is LOUD

“This is gonna cost you more than just one bag of candy-coated chocolate-covered peanuts, you know.”

“Mmhm,” Mira agreed, barely listening. She’d lived in the Pacific Northwest her whole life, only a few hundred miles from the place where she was standing. Heck, she remembered family vacations in the Redwood National Forest, in the eerie underwater hush of a forest as old as the world. But somehow, nothing had prepared her for Gravity Falls.

In the Mindscape, something stirred.

Dipper felt the ripples, less like a water droplet landing in a still pond and more like the aftershocks of an earthquake. He stopped in the middle of seeding a particularly good Ghost of Presidents’ Day Past nightmare in the mind of a slumbering corrupt public official, and listened, hard.

The ripples died away, slowly, to a faint tremor and then only a dissatisfied grumbling. But something had changed – something had shifted. The tenor of the Mindscape had modulated to a different key. And by the sounds of things, that key was minor.

Mira picked the phone up on the fourth ring, plugging it into the wall port to bring the call up on the TV’s screen and toggling the camera to ‘off’. She was in no state to be seen by anyone, especially not the photo-perfect Rosa Darling, who had probably never gotten a giant stress zit on her chin in her life.

New year, new WIP! I figured I’d start the year off right with the…uh, long-awaited? sequel to Reincarnation Blues! Special thanks to @seiya234 for helping me plot and outline this baby.

Yes, it starts with a scene you may have already…seen. Bear with me. We’re going places.

“So. Season two. Any ideas about how to start it off with a
bang?”

There was a general shuffling of papers and buzz around the
writers’ room table. Zelda, unsurprisingly, was the first to speak. “Well, the
viewers are still losing it over Bael. I thought -”

“Just a moment,” Ian interrupted. “Do you guys think we can
hold off on having Bael show up again until the finale?”

Around the table, the team exchanged looks.
