Is it true that the Author never returned from the portal in this ‘verse? Will future reincarnations of him be seen in his universe of origin?

What is truth?

But seriously. 😉 We the mods haven’t entirely decided what to do with Stanley (if that’s his real name amirite?) because we are as in the dark as you are!

For now, several people (including Mods S and O) have used The Author in TAU fic, and more may do so in the future. Remember that our canon is a fast and loose one so feel free to do what you would like, be it having the Author never show up or the opposite end of the spectrum!

Have fun y’all!

It’s 2:30 AM, don’t judge me.

The other dimension Stanley was sucked into was his mindscape, and he got there because Stanford made a deal with a demon to save his brother’s life. Transporting Stanley into his own paranoid and possibly frightening imagination was the only way Alcor could manage it.

Demon-ception: that entire ordeal therefore actually occurred within Stanley’s own mind AFTER returning through the portal to find a newly-demonized grandson along with an aged twin brother. He only dreamed he went to another world, met an adult demonized grandson, and returned to find a non-demon version of the kid.

Trust No One

oreramar:

A/N:
Transcendence AU, inspired by a couple of headcanons and by the fact that with
multiple dimensions to play with anything is possible. You could almost
consider this a crossover of sorts between currently-canon Gravity Falls (up to
S2E11) and TAU itself, in a way…

Also, I’m not sure how to write Stanley Pines beyond “crippling paranoia/trust issues.”

Stanley
Pines woke to a throbbing head, the smell of blood and ash and plaster dust,
and a demon hovering over him.

He
swung before it could as much as blink. The small knife he always kept up his
sleeve punched through the creature’s side and sent it spinning away. He didn’t
wait for it to recover; in moments he had rolled to a crouch and burst from
there into a sprint for cover. He needed time, a more defensible position so he
could regroup and figure out where he was, where home was, and what the hell had gone wrong with the portal in the
time between shutting it down and waking up here…

He
spied a doorway, unblocked by the rubble strewn across half the floor, and
veered toward it.

An
instant later the demon floated there, knife dangling from gloved fingers. Its
golden eyes were half-closed and calculating.

Around the 50th century a zombie apocalypse blows out of proportions, millions of people are turned into mindless undead, to the point the whole world is soon affected. Humans and Tribes of Myth build a few safe havens around the globe, others live in the wastelands, or destroyed cities, fighting everyday for their lives. R!Mabel is born amidst these people, and she’s blessed with enormous luck, as she thrives in this hostile world. Alcor obviously is the one who protects her, but since she’s unwilling to make any kind of deal whatsoever he can only do things from a distance. The small group she lives with is smaller and smaller as time passes and the hope of finding a haven dims and dims…until one day they see a portal appearing out of nowhere and a young man with brown curly hair and glasses pops out of it…

Basically, what if Stanley knew Alcor when he went back to Gravity Falls?

“Hey, I read in Dipper and Mabel’s Guide to Nonstop Fun the passage where they mention that a librarian who visited town accidentally slipped through a crack in reality and has learned to communicate with our dimension, and with the current theory being that this passage was actually a reference to searchfortheblindeye.com, that “librarian” would be Stanley. That could very well mean that the Shack possibly canonically used to be a library run by Stanley, explaining why the Shack was so big and secluded before it got converted into a tourist trap by Stanford. Stanley would have books on the supernatural and occult, and it would be one of those “we have what you want if you know what you’re looking for” kind of libraries or book stores you see in movies. Stanley probably collected all sorts of books and documentations before Fiddleford founded the SotBE and started making people forget the supernatural, so when Stanford took over, he was probably left with all these books that he would later incorporate into the Transcendence AU library so big and secluded before it got converted into a tourist trap by Stanford.

Excellent!!!! This is almost exactly what I had in mind with Stan creating the library-left with all of Stanley’s books and then over the years Stan kept collecting, hoping to find some kind of answer.

Dipper was a little upset to realize the kind of knowledge Stan had hidden under his nose the whole time lol.

On the idea of Stanley being paranoid of his grandson: what if (“for the greater good”) Stanley uses his knowledge of Bill Cipher to trap and hurt Dipper (like in “The Incident with Mrs. Peterson”). Stanford and Mabel go to save him. Scenario somehow ends with Stanford having to choose between saving his nephew and trusting his brother, with Stanley yelling, “Listen to your head! This LIAR/MONSTER could kill us all!” and Mabel yelling, “Look into his eyes! Does he LOOK like a bad guy to you?!”

(It got way too long for the ask box. This is both a HC and a fic idea.)

NWHS and the Bill vs. Dipper are two separate portal-related events. A few of the stories I’ve read that reference Author!Stan, it seems he had “passed on” by the time Mabel and Henry are married/have the Nibblets. I do see him, like Grunkle Stan, to develop a close relationship during the rest of the summer before Dipper’s assent into demonhood. I think because of what happened at the Transcendence, and the revelation Dipper isn’t dead (just a demon; I see that awful paranoia come ramming itself in his insecurities and trusting demon!Dipper versus human!Dipper, his GODAMNIT FAMILY I ALREADY WENT THROUGH THIS WITH MY OWN TWIN I’M A FUCKING ASSHOLE), he starts frantically researching ways to hopefully turn him back (failure is the only option), or at least make life much easier for Dipper (I can definitely see him being around for one of the Pines Parents meltdowns, going straight back into guilt because of his “RESEARCH”). I can see him helping Dipper and Mabel finalizing the different summoning circles (general public, research/educational institutions, family-and-friends-only, Gravity Falls version, emergency variants with less reliability) before all that stress, worry, and guilt from EVERYTHING finally kills him.

Still, despite that Downer Ending for Author!Stan, I think it would be more positive/bittersweet, since he expected to die alone after the 1986(?) Event, and he surrounded by family before moving on.

Maybe even one last conversation with Dipper in the Mindscape, and share a secret or two about his time as a Mystery Twin.
