A/N: These are a series of oneshots related to Dipifica Week on Tumblr. With the admin's permission, I decided to make the oneshots center around Dana and Patterson, who (as you might recall) are my genderbent versions of Dipper and Pacifica. I hope you enjoy them.
Day 1: AUs
Welcome to the forest wilderness of Gravity Falls. Founded by former horse-obsessed president Quinn Trembley, this area has become a preservation for the strange and wonderful creatures of this world.
Today we will observe the actions of a young female kitsune. At a glance this creature looks like a normal human, but wait! Notice her brown fox ears and tail. What a rather unusual creature!
As you can see, the kitsune is wearing such unusual garments. Since this is a natural wilderness, her body is covered in makeshift clothing that was crafted out of leaves and vines. Her long brown hair is tied back in what appears to be a ponytail, and there is an unusual red marking decorating her forehead.
Today the kitsune is on the hunt. Due to being half-fox, she has adapted to become rather agile. She is currently leaping from tree to tree, waiting for her next prey.
Hang on. What's this? Why, it's a gorgon! A male one in fact! This one appears to have an unusual color palette, since the short snakes that make up his hair are unusually pale yellow, the same color as the serpent tail that connects to his human torso.
Unfortunately for this gorgon, it seems the kitsune has found her next meal. She hides behind a bush, waiting to pounce on her victim. Will the gorgon escape in time, or will his young life be cut off?
And the kitsune attacks! She tackles the gorgon, ready to bite into his flesh and- What's this? Did the gorgon just trap the kitsune in his tail? Why yes, yes he did. He had wrapped his tail around her waist, leaving her unable to escape!
The kitsune starts to struggle, knowing that she would be turned into stone if the gorgon's snakes lay their eyes on her.
Huh? What's the gorgon doing? He's…touching her face? How odd. He seems to be communicating with her in various hisses. And the kitsune… She's calming down! I'm not sure what she's saying, but her chirps indicate… Affection? Has the gorgon caught her in some kind of trance?
The gorgon starts to release his grip, but surprisingly, the kitsune does not flee. Instead, she starts snuggling with the gorgon. The two creatures are speaking to one another in their respective languages. Is this some kind of interspecies mating ritual?
Regardless of what this is, it appears the kitsune no longer sees the gorgon as a meal. She appears to have befriended him. What a strange turn of events!
Some time later, the creatures release their grips. The two proceed to hold hands and run off together, ready to embark in some kind of native playtime. After all, they are at a young age, too young to do a proper mating ritual. But for now, they embrace in this newfound friendship.
As you can see, the creatures of Gravity Falls can find unusual friendships in the oddest of ways. Just one of the many, many wonders this forest has to offer.
