Summary
I ask again, Stanley Pines, why? Why make a deal? Why fight for such a pitiful life?
Stan swallows. “I just want to see my brother again,” he says before he can stop himself. “Please. Please, just — let me see Ford again. Let me live. And I’ll be your guy. I’ll do whatever you need. Whatever you want.”
OR: Stanley Pines made a bad deal before Ford sent his postcard. Three decades and an apocalypse later, he and Ford have to deal with the consequences.

Summary
Years ago, Stan Pines died under strange circumstances. His body was found, funerals happened, Pa was too ashamed to show up, Shermie too busy, Ma went... so did Ford...
And Ford learned a lot while at the funerals, more than he would have liked to. Like the fact his brother lived out of his car, of all places... At least, the car gave him a way to summon his brother's spirit, to talk one last time! Or it should have. It never worked... Ford kept the car anyways, for old times' sake.
In other news, a little over 30 years later, 13 year old Mabel Pines came back to Gravity Falls a year after her brother stayed back there for an "apprenticeship" with their great uncle Ford or whatever... Meaning she was alone to face their parents' divorce. And even now, her brother ignored her for his "anomalies". No big deal. None at all... Not at all the reason why she tried to leave the home at 1 am, only to be met with a homeless-looking ghost with no memories who decided to haunt her.
At least the nameless ghost is a good friend to prank Gravity Falls with!
(Inspired by multiple ghost related media: (Molly McGee and The Ghost, Mystery Skulls) but mostly by Beetlejuice, the Musical)

Summary
There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide
It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time update this and take a crack at finishing it. (Links and Images are in, the new Audio and Video tags are not.)
The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.
There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)
Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.

"Ad Astra Cum Amico" (To the Stars With A Friend) by Ellie_bluejay
Fandoms: Gravity Falls

Summary
Stanley Pines considers himself to be a relatively normal person. That is, until a magical god-axolotl starts talking with him. Affectionately nicknamed "Ax," the benevolent deity seems to be some sort of expert on getting Stan to say things he normally wouldn't, leading him to becoming more well-adjusted than he is in canon.

Summary
The summer of 1966 was one of the happiest summers Stanley and Stanford ever had. It was the year they found their beloved ship and promised each other that they would one day sail in search of adventure. Unfortunately, things hardly ever seemed to go right for very long, and they soon find themselves very far from home and each other.
In January of 1982, Stan and Ford are over a thousand miles away each other when they each have a chance encounter with familiar faces.

In all honesty, it was an accident. How was Stan supposed to know "return your loved ones" meant cloning?
Or, how Stan ended up adopting a 6-year-old clone of his brother.

Summary
Stanley and Stanford haven’t seen each other in over a decade. No letters, no postcards, no (direct) phone calls, nothing had connected them over those ten years.
Stanford had become a scientist studying the strange and unusual in a tiny town in Oregon with the aid of his assistant and college roommate, Fiddleford. He was dedicated to making a scientific discovery that would change the world and often forgot to pull himself out long enough to talk to his own family. (He didn’t even know where his twin was, never mind how to contact him.)
Stanley… Stanley became a witch. A “Handyman for Hire” who traveled all over the country for his work. It wasn’t a glamorous lifestyle, but it was a comfortable one.
Neither of them expected to run into each other again. And certainly not because of Stan having the worst stroke of luck possible.

Stanley Pines vs The Heat Death Of The Universe! by chibinekogirl101
Fandoms: Gravity Falls
04 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
When Stanford Pines held the memory gun, readying to erase his twin brother's memories in order to defeat Bill Cipher, his input on what to erase was "Stanley Pines".
But of course, what Stanford didn't (couldn't) know is that "Stanley Pines" isn't all that his twin brother is... or was. And with a sudden influx of hollow, empty space? The memories that had once been locked away flood out to fill in the stark, unnatural blankness.
Bill Cipher wakes up in the forest, in a body that he doesn't remember possessing with no clue how he got there, and what's everyone crying for? What happened to Weirdmageddon?!
And who in the Hell is Stanley?!

Summary
The first cage he finds has a sign on it.
It’s made out of old driftwood and it reads: “Deadly! Do not open!”
Stan reads it a few times. The words have been written with red paint which has smeared across the sign in a few places. The writing is hasty and barely legible, as if it was done in a moment of great hurry or panic. The red paint and the occasional splatters make it look like blood and the numbness in Stan’s brain recedes long enough for him to snort a derogatory laugh and roll his eyes.
His brother can be so dramatic.
**********
After the portal incident, Stan frees all of Ford's specimen. He thinks that's the end of it.
He couldn't have been more wrong.

Summary
Pop hadn’t done Stan many favors even before kicking him out, but he did teach him the most important part of a scam: a good handshake.
Look ’em in the eye. Shake their hands firmly, like a man. Stand up straight and lie until you what you want to be true becomes true, whether it’s this watch is solid 24k gold or the Rip Off won’t give you rashes or I choose one brilliant mind a century.
