Julia: My creators did bad things to me, too. Things that hurt me.
Tau: But you still obey them? Because they created you?
Julia: No. They gave me life, but I did the rest. I created me. You understand? We grow up, and we become our own creators.
Tau: For what purpose do we create ourselves?
Julia: For each other.Continuing where the movie ended, a brief addition as Julia makes her way home and gets settled with Tau in tow

Summary
The former Imperial world of Thresa has been under the rule of the Tau Empire for five years, but recently rumor has arisen that a secret society of Imperial loyalists is planning something. In a bid to reassert control over the world and incorporate it more closely into the Empire, the Ethereal Ash'la has been sent to join her friend, a Fire Caste Shas'Vre named Hia'Min, in instilling the essence of the Greater Good among the people with her presence and oratory.
Little do the Tau know, however, but a Deathwatch Kill-Team has been sent to abduct Ash'la and ensure the world remains primed for revolution. As the game of cat and mouse begins and violence erupts upon the city of Novakar, will Hia'Min be able to protect her friend from the machinations of the Deathwatch? And how will her forbidden feelings for her friend and superior affect her judgement?
Which will prevail in the battle of conflicting duty and oaths; hate, or love?

The Illusionary Six (DRAFT) by elmwynn, tykimikkitty (elmwynn)
Fandoms: Original Work, Six Chances
29 Apr 2022
Tags
Summary
The Twin Cities is a place of duality where good coexists with evil. Cadence Morello is adept at this balancing act which is why she has taken to her psychic connection with a prince, a soldier, a mysterious pirate, a former chieftain’s daughter, and a peacekeeper quite well. It has almost been like a dream. However, in this city of illusion, reality cracks along the daydream. Love blurs into hate. Past into present. Selflessness into selfishness. Acceptance to vengeance.
The fragments appear: a reunion with a loved one, a locked cave murder mystery, underground negotiations, a limitless bounty, a citywide war, encounters with True Conductors, and the reemergence of ELPIS. The illusion has shattered. It is time to face reality.
The bets have been set. The cards have been played. Now all that’s left is to watch the dominoes fall. The secret of ELPIS is finally revealed, and the truth lies close to the heart.
Updates daily. More recent/up-to-date (non-draft) chapters available here.

Summary
This is a spin-off fic from Reincarnated describing all the conversations and musings of the villagers of Kilima, and Bahari Bay. It's basically Reincarnated, but through the side of the villagers in Palia, their point of view, and perspectives.
There will be extra story regarding Reincarnated that will be showcased here, since Reincarnated is purely through Corinth's POV.

Summary
Whereupon Dipper Pines, (aka Alcor, The Dream Bender, The Twin Star, and a hundred other names he can't remember) is the best dream demon uncle ever, Mabel Pines has her hands full of sweaters and babies, Grunkle Stan enjoys being retired, and Mabel's husband is the most patient human being on the planet.

Summary
In the years since his first summer in Gravity Falls, Dipper Pines has seen (and been chased by, and nearly eaten by) a lot of strange things. Seriously. A lot of strange things. He's something of an expert on all things supernatural, if he does say so himself (which he does).
Somehow, though, none of it has managed to prepare him for coming face-to-fanged-face with a demon who claims to be him.

Summary
The world had turned weird - well, okay, weirder than usual. Grunkle Stan had lied to them, all summer, maybe all their lives. The Mystery Shack was crumbling around Mabel's ears, along with everything she'd thought she knew.
But none of that mattered without her brother.
...
(A note: this fic was plotted and begun before s2e11 aired, and a few of its plot points no longer cooperate with canon. As such, please read this fic as diverging from canon after s2e10, Northwest Mansion Mystery!)

Summary
Dipper had just turned to leave and was in the middle of some bland goodnight when Stan interrupted him with, “It’s tonight, isn’t it?”
Dipper blustered, backtracked. “What? Why – why would you think – I mean, what’s tonight, Grunkle Stan?”
Stan fixed Dipper with a piercing look. “Cut the crap, kid, I’ve been a liar for longer than you and I’m a hell of a lot better at it. It’s my -” His voice shook, and he cleared his throat, giving his chest a thump with one fist. “My last night, right?”

Summary
In the early twenty-first century, the Transcendence transformed the world and forced both people and institutions to reconsider everything they thought they knew. It caused massive change, from the global level right down to the personal.
If it hadn't been eclipsed in history by the Transcendence, the discovery of reincarnation would be better remembered as having done the same.

Summary
Dipper thought beating Bill had been the end of it. There was no way anything of Bill could have escaped Grunkle Stan's mind, right?
A Transcendence AU origin fic/drabble/thing that tries to bridge TAU canon with the GF season finale. Weirdmageddon happened exactly the way we saw it happen in the show. Things after that... got weird.
Mostly Ford-centric. You don't need to have read TAU to understand this, but you should still go and read it. (It's awesome. Go on, I'll wait.)

Summary
David and Sarah had a long history of road trips together. One of their favorite hobbies was picking, going through the backwoods of the world trying to find interesting old junk that people had tucked away in their sheds and attics. The thing was, they had never once gone on a picking trip together without something happening. They had nearly been devoured by demons, murdered by the mafia, drowned, immolated, lost, found, involved in government conspiracies, and stuck on the side of the road fighting off rabid badgers.
It didn't help that The Transcendence had made it a lot easier to accidentally drive off the beaten path, without once leaving the highway.

Even after the Transcendence, the United States continued to maintain its nuclear arsenal in order to deter others from using similar weapons against them. Automating the system however, may have been a bad idea.
Especially with the Alcor Virus involved.

The world remains much the same as it has always been, except for Mabel and Dipper Pines. One having to deal with the fact her brother is now a powerful demon.

Summary
To be fair, when the Portland Flotsam had published the article about Don Pines running for mayor, they had intended it as a satire on the quality of the candidates that were actually running for election. They did not anticipate the sheer number of people who took it to mean that Portland's local mob boss was seeking municipal office.
The large banner that was strung up outside their offices declaring support for Hank Pines as Mayor of Portland came as a complete surprise. It was the first they had heard that Hank Pines was actually in the running to become Mayor.
It also how Hank Pines himself became aware of this fact.

Tags
Summary
Hank's reputation as the fearsome head of the Portland Supernatural Mafia, was largely a gross exaggeration propagated by rumors which had grown far out of hand. According to Hank Pines, the Dinner Crew was more a community service organization. (The streak of violent vigilantism was simply community service by other means.)
That however, didn't stop the vast majority of Portland from believing that Hank Pines was the single most ruthless and cunning mob boss the state had ever seen. So the reaction he got when he stopped by City Hall to check on some paperwork really shouldn't have surprised him.
It did anyway.

Summary
For David, the local gods had simply been a part of life growing up in northern BC. While their presence had never been important to him spiritually, their absence had still been jarring when he moved to Vancouver. Moving to Gravity Falls had offered the chance to reconnect with beings that had been an near constant presence growing up. He just needed to find them first.
For Sarah, she had spent her first sixteen years unaware of the spirit of her home city Nampa, Idaho. That had changed when she had experienced a powerful communion with the city spirit. An experience she had repeated when she moved to Vancouver, and again when her and David pulled into Gravity Falls for the first time.

The Gravity Falls Community Theater Presents... by Feneris
Fandoms: Gravity Falls, Transcendence AU - Fandom

Summary
The various clubs and organizations of Gravity Falls had all agreed to take turns putting on a play in the new Gravity Falls Community Theater. The Gravity Falls Gun Club had done "Guns of Our Forefathers," and the local Literary Circle had done a remake of Twin Souls as a slasher film.
Then the Gravity Falls Historical Reenactment Club took the stage, Sarah coerced David into playing Alcor, a guy nicknamed "Psycho" was put in charge of the pyrotechnics, and they went through two hundred gallons of theater blood before they had even made it through the first act.

Summary
When the first sprout appeared in her garden, Sarah had elected to leave it be. It hadn't been doing any harm, and the shimmering leaves were kind of pretty. Within a week they were starting to crowd her cabbages.
Yggdrasil was an incredibly rare magical plant, whose mysterious propagation and growing needs had stymied every attempt to cultivate it. The leaves were so rare, they could sometimes sell for upwards of a hundred dollars an ounce.
David and Sarah didn't particularly care what an ounce of the stuff sold for. They had been giving it away by the bushel. They just wanted to find a way to keep the damn plants from completely engulfing their house.

Summary
