Summary
You heckle a drag queen.
She makes you pay for it—literally.
Then she takes off the wig, tells you her name’s Stan, and somehow, that’s the part that ruins you.
—
A runaway with a taste for self-destruction walks into the wrong drag bar and meets Miss Demeanor—sharp, jaded, beautiful. Or, well. Stan.
Now you’re both knee-deep in glitter, guilt, and the kind of loneliness that seeps through your bones. But hey, at least you're lonely together, right?Bookmarked by emjam

Summary
It said something about Stanley Pines’ life that even important days seemed like just another square on the calendar, the same as any other block of twenty-four hours. He’d thought maybe this one would be different, with a steady job and an established spot at the only extended stay motel in town… but he knew in his gut it probably wouldn’t be.
A glimpse into the life of one Stan Pines, a calm in the storm between turns for the worst. He gets up, he goes to work, and he spends time with some dear friends.

Summary
Somewhere between chewing his way out of the trunk of a car and making "friends" in a Colombian prison, Stan Pines caught the thread of a cosmic joke. He's been waiting for the followthrough ever since. You can't ruin a joke that hasn't even been set up yet, after all.

Summary
ford can’t stop thinking about old yeller that night, staring up at the glow-in-the-dark stars on their ceiling. he couldn’t do it, he thinks. he couldn’t ever shoot his own dog, no matter what.
“well,” stanley says pragmatically the next morning, pretending like he doesn’t care as much as ford knows he does, “since he was sufferin’ and all, it was really better for him to be dead, wasn’t it? not much point in being alive if your whole life is terrible and you’re a danger to everybody you ever loved.”
something cold and sharp takes up residence in ford’s stomach. he doesn’t like hearing stanley say stuff like that. he doesn’t like it at all.
“i wouldn’t do it,” ford insists. “no matter what, i wouldn’t. there’s always another way.”
“heh. yeah, i bet you’d find another way, brainiac,” stanley teases, reaching over to muss ford’s hair. ford swats him away. stanley can make fun all he wants—ford still spends all night thinking about cures for rabies.

Summary
Sam and Stephanie noticed a difference in their children when they'd come home right away. Dipper was more confident, less afraid of the world. Mabel was more thoughtful, not quite as forceful as she was before. But it seemed for every new positive, there were odd fears that hadn't been there before they left. Like Dipper's strange hatred of triangles, and Mabel's refusal to use the color yellow in her art anymore.
Something happened in Gravity Falls. If only they could get anyone to tell them what.

Summary
For a while Stan and his niece sat silently, listening to the creaking of the old house settling around them. As he held the ice to his face, he could feel Mabel's eyes on him again. "Something on your mind, kiddo?" he asked her.
"Oh, umm..." She gave a shrug, looking thoughtful. "I was just wondering what I should call you," she said quietly. "Do you still want to be called Stan, or would you rather go by Stanley?"

Summary
“Hey.”
Ford looked up, more startled than he should have been. Stanley was looking at him, those familiar eyes still knowing and focused, and his face was very serious.
“Ford…promise me something.”
And in that moment, thirty years of paranoia tripped and died on the events of the past ten minutes, and Ford said “Anything,” without a second thought.
(Another take on the missing scene in the Fearamid, featuring protectiveness, promises, and some long-overdue emotional progress. Also Stan being annoying on purpose.)

Summary
“Do you really care about me?”
Ford goes entirely still, turning his head towards Stan and staring at him with wide eyes.
His brother remains in the same position, as if he never spoke at all, and his eyes do not give away even an ounce of his emotion.
Stan takes a deep breath and Ford begins holding his.“Or did I finally prove my worth to you?”
(or: Stan is a hero. He wonders if that's the only reason Ford suddenly wants to be his brother again.)
