hey hi hello my name is seiya and i love child ballads and very self wanky au-au’s inspired by child ballads.

Once there were a pair of twins to a mortal woman born.
(Does this sound familiar? Perhaps this is in a place that is a distorted mirror to your own, only a hop skip and dimensional jump away. Or this is a bedtime story, told by a wizard to his recently found daughter. Or by a harried new father, or a sleepy uncle.
Perhaps you should keep reading regardless.)
The midwife rolled the bones, went through the ashes and the entrails, and then when that show was done for the parents, got her actual answer in a bowl of soup. One was fated to live and die, live and die, live and die a hundred thousand lives over and over again as we all are fated to do. The other however, would live until every star in the sky went out, and every other living thing died, and only then would he pass on to what was next.
Naturally, the couple didn’t take it well. Luckily, they had his uncle, an old man in the woods they could offload the b-
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” the witch told them.
“How…how did you know?” the mother asked, a tremor in her voice.
The witch raised her eyebrow, and let them think it was magic and not forty years experience of the human condition and more specifically having to deal with unwanted children.
“You can keep both, or give both away,” the witch went on, “but you must keep them together or else.”
“Or else?” the father demanded.
The witch smelt fire in her nose, felt her skin crackle under the force of unnatural energies, and sighed. “Just fucking do it or I’ll curse you both with warts.”
Ten minutes later she had carefully bundled the babies and some goat milk into a basket, and was headed to the Old Fox. He was the trickster of all tricksters, a crank and a crook and not as good in bed as he thought he was, but the witch knew there was no better place for these babies to be than with him.
(you may be wondering where the beast with one eye is in this story. the answer is that he’s a big stinky jerk and will not be appearing tonight.)
So wait, is Dippers blood actual gold? Has anyone tested the theory, as in to figure out whether its gold colored blood or actual gold?????
Dipper’s blood is golden! Gold does not do all the things his blood can do. Gold does not burn, or start steaming upon contact with the air, or all the things that fic authors have written it doing.
awesomecat42: $10 says Stan has tried to sell bottles of it at least once.
spot on

516 days post-Transcendence
Dipper needs some questions answered, and seeks the help of some new characters in order to come to some life-changing conclusions.
I’m writing a lot of fic right now and I should stop but NO! I’m just having a lot of fun trying to problem solve this story. @transcendence-au

A young Mizar asking about his dad and Alcor realizing halfway threw the conversation he’s describing Stan or Lionel not Mark
If he’s in the right (wrong) kind of mind-state at the time, he might be likelier to mash all of them together into his description, not realizing he’s mixing up lifetimes and experiences into a mental singularity.
Otherwise, he’s not likely to make that mistake.
Stan and Hank bonding!
Before fishing, before learning how to play (and cheat) at poker, before even pulling up a stool to help make Stancakes…
there was a bucket, it was almost as big as him.
there were bushes full of berries that they were allowed to eat (but only these ones kids, don’t go sticking shit willy nilly in your mouth.)
and large hands over his, guiding them to the best blueberries, hands full of berries to the bucket, and finally a large hand gently holding his as they went home.
Stan still has some contacts left from his less than legal ventures right. do they ever make a connection between him an Don Pines and if so how do they react.
By the time the Crew starts going, Stan is old. Like, really old. He is only with everyone for about another ten years before passing on- point being, if Stan is old, so are most of his contacts at this point. Anyone who would have potentially done Hank harm in the past is at this point content to let sleeping dogs lie.
Especially after they heard what had happened a few years earlier.
Pre-Transcendence Ford was Dippers role model Post-Transcendence Stan is. As time passes he’s respect for Stan only grows. especially when the day comes and Dipper finds himself raising a child alone for the first time and truly understands how Stan must have felt all toughs years ago. Uncomfortable, terrified of screwing up and not at all worthy of this kid but determined to do his best anyway.
The Pines family weirdness becomes kind of legendary in certain circles. Most believe it’s a result of being at the epicentre of the transcendence. Of coarse the family know that’s not the case. Several descendants attempts to discover it’s source have hit dead ends. There’s been something off about the Pines family tree for as far back as it can be reliably traced which is not actually all that far. Stan’s not the first Pines to fake his death or take on a new identity it seems.
