Summary
He and Stanley are trying this new thing in the wake of the loop ending called being honest with each other. Sometimes uncomfortably so. He knows his brother was a drug mule for a time; Stanley knows he lied repeatedly to his only real friend for over a year. It’s shockingly refreshing, actually, to be so open. Every day, Stanford finds himself trusting what Stanley says just a little easier, drops the armor he’s constructed just a little more. He feels lighter than he has in years.
But he doesn’t tell Stanley about missing Bill.
(a follow-up to Déjà Vu that explores the painful journey of working through the trauma of an abusive relationship, ten years of homelessness and poor self-esteem, and what exactly comes after you break out of a timeloop)

Summary
In 1982—before a betrayal could be revealed and a postcard could be sent—a mysterious, otherworldly virus tore the country apart and turned people into mindless monsters. Four years later, in the wreckage left behind, Stanley Pines heads to Gravity Falls, Oregon to find out what happened to his brother. Miraculously, Ford is still alive, living alone in the town that started it all, and he's developed a cure: he just needs Stan's help getting it across the country.
But old wounds keep surfacing, and Ford seems to know more about the virus than he's willing to share.
(Or, the Canon Divergent AU where the zombie apocalypse happens before Ford sends Stan the postcard.)

Summary
Dustin tapped his hands on the bonnet for a moment before trailing behind him as he continued down the line of used cars. "Why don't you just get another Beamer? I think I saw one similar near the entrance. It was blue, I think."
"I don't want a replica, or something that's a constant reminder. She was one of a kind."
"I mean, not really."
"To me, she was."

Steve and Dustin go car shopping.

Summary
Claudia makes up a bed for Steve on the living room couch. She’s kind—fussing over him, making sure he has enough pillows and blankets, insisting that he stay here as long as he wants. Steve watches her double-lock the front door and check on Dustin at least five times before she goes to bed. Steve doubts she’ll really sleep.
Steve’s grateful, and it’s comfortable, but he’s not going to sleep, either. Not while Dustin is alone in the other room.
He hopes Dustin doesn’t have any nightmares. He hopes his face doesn’t hurt too much, and that he doesn’t wake up with a splitting migraine. He hopes he isn’t crying himself to sleep. He knows he probably is.
~~~
Steve & Dustin navigate their anxieties about each other, after everything.

Summary
It's been a few months since the group has escaped the circus, and things are going well, for the most part. They've got jobs, hobbies, relationships, and they've all jumped back into life with more vigor than ever before. It's good. Almost. Jax thinks that's a sign, in a weird way, that perhaps all of this isn't as worthy as it seems. That he's not as worthy. Not that it matters.
And so, on one random Sunday night, Jax decides he's going to take his own life.
Or
Author wanted to write a character study about Jax coping in the real world while also learning to see himself as a person.Bookmarked by interlude

Summary
“Hiding something? What, no! I wouldn’t – I’d never – ”
“You know what? ƒμ©* it.” With a huff, Zooble yanked at the tablet in Ragatha’s hands, hard. Pomni caught how the little seams fixing Ragatha’s arms to her shoulders flexed, threatening to give way. She had to let go before Zooble ripped her forearms clean off. Zooble swiped through the tablet almost angrily as they muttered, “I don’t even know what you’re so pressed about. It’s not like your derby rider was that pretentious about – ”
Zooble cut themself off and went very, very silent.
Pomni’s mouth went dry. Dryer than it’d been even after a stress of time without real water. She watched, scared for a reason she couldn’t place, as both of Zooble’s detachable eyes widened. She could have sworn that their hot pink face turned almost salmon for a quick second before returning to its original shade. They set down the tablet and turned.
“Ragatha,” they said slowly, “why does the catalogue of NPCs include a mock-up of Jax?”
or, the gang learns something new about Jax

Summary
You can learn a lot about a person during a hunting trip. Their strengths, their fears, their weaknesses. Maybe even their deepest secrets. Like the fact that they like turtleducks.
