Chapter 1 – Last Chapter – Next Chapter
I finally finished it! So sorry this took so long guys I’ll try to be quicker with the next one 🙂
Dipper rushed down the street, away from the house he’d had to stay in the last few days, away from that demon, the one that just couldn’t be him! Screw the logic that in a multiverse as large as theirs he had to be a demon somewhere it just couldn’t be what was happening! Alcor was tricking them, trying to get them to trust him, he was lying!
Except, he wasn’t. Dipper hated to admit it, but looking back Alcor had always had something about him that seemed vaguely familiar.
Tag: transdimensional arc
Transdimensional Arc: After much pondering, Dipper realizes that the default adult form Alcor takes is a result of his shapeshifting, and Alcor’s real form is of 12-year old Dipper. Basically, young Dipper realizes that his older alternate self is ‘cheating’ as while he’s over thousands of years old by now, he hasn’t physically aged since that day.
The Other Way Chapter 6: Let’s Talk
Chapter 1 – Last Chapter – Next Chapter
Mabel and Dipper – the demon one, not her Dipper, the one that failed to tell them that he was a Dipper to begin with – sat in silence in the lounge.
“So, other demon Dipper,” Mabel said after a few seconds more, fidgeting with the bottom of her sweater.
“Just, keep calling me Alcor, it’ll get rid of any confusion,” Dipp- Alcor said.
“Right, Alaw.” Mabel had a small cheeky smile as she saw Alcor groan in annoyance.
“Seriously? I know you can pronounce that correctly now!”
The Other Way Chapter 5: A Birthday Card
Chapter 1 – Last Chapter – Next Chapter
After a few moments of staring at pancakes she didn’t feel like eating any more Mabel got up from the table to find Dipper. She just, needed to think about something else, something that wasn’t the crushing possibility of never seeing the Shack again, or Stan, Soos, Wendy, Candy and Grenda, Mum and Dad, or even Ford who they’d only recently just started getting to know. She just needed to distract herself.
Whenever Alcor observes Dipper in the Transdimensional Arc. when does he ever think “Man, I actually did that? What was I thinking? Should I tell little me the mistake he’s about to do?” type of thought whether humorous or embarrassment?
Oh definitely but he rarely ever does anything about it. That little embarrassing version of him still fills him with a fond, if not emotionally painful, nostalgia.
In the Transdimensional arc, Alcor driving Dipper, Mabel and Stan. It goes as well as expected.
Not helped by Alcor mentioning that it was his Stan who taught him how to drive.
The Other Way Chapter 4: And Then It Hit Him
Chapter 1 – Last Chapter – Next Chapter
Waking up the next day Mabel smiled as she noticed the smell of pancakes waft into her and Dipper’s room, for a moment managing to believe he and herself were still back in the Shack. The moment was ruined when she opened her eyes however, and saw the unfamiliar ceiling, devoid of her colourful posters and the wooden rafters, instead a plain, dull white finish covering everything.
The Other Way Chapter 3: With Pen And Paper Shield And Sword
Quick a/n just so people know, for Dipper and Mabel they’re between episodes ATOTS and DD&MD
After Alcor had healed Mabel’s arm which she had seemed to forget about when saying she was alright, he had given the twins a room to sleep in which he promptly “cleaned” (meaning he snapped his fingers and all the dust and spider webs were gone) and made two separate beds for them, in much the same layout as Dipper and Mabel’s room back home in Gravity Falls.
Transdimensional arc: Stan and Alcor make a bet that Alcor can run the shack and earn as much earnings, ala Boss Mabel plot. Turns out Alcor can managed well… too well by the fact that he uses real artifacts and monsters disguised as cheap fakes that it goes horribly right.
Alcor learned his lesson from the first time around!
(with bonus Dipper being very aggrieved because Alcor is a demon and he’s getting real attractions so why is he putting googly eyes on everything it’s so undignified)
