AN; I don't own Gravity Falls.
So, this is going to be a series of short, poorly written [by poorly written I mean not to my standards] stories. Honestly, I have no idea where I'm going with this but I hope you enjoy it... somehow.
Also, spoilers. If you don't want to be spoiled, then click the back button and come back once you've watched Gravity Falls all the way thru.
Update; Forgot the lines... oops.
The end of the word happened. Everything is nothing like they remember, nor expect. It's too weird, it's not normal. Nothing is normal anymore.
The refugees hide in the Mystery Shack, the only place protected from this weirdness. And while there are weird things there, it's more normal than what is outside.
The twins, Waddles, Soos and Wendy made it back safely. They weren't expecting the refugees and the refugees weren't expecting them. The happy reunion is cut short when the demons' lookout came looking for them.
Luckily playing possum worked and the lookout went away. The new group learns more about what has happened since the start of this and are surprised.
Stan using this to be chief wasn't that surprising, since he has shown desire to be leader. Everyone going along with it isn't that surprising, since they were probably in shock or overwhelmed with everything going on. Stan being against fighting back wasn't a surprise as well, since he isn't really too keen on no longer being important.
No, the surprising thing was what he's wearing, and how he seems to pull it off. It might have been because he didn't notice, or he didn't care. Either way, no one complained with what he's wearing, not when there are other things they need to focus on.
They need to build the Shack-O-Tron.
Their plan worked. They got in and Bill and his Henchmanicas are distracted. All they need is to free everyone, including Ford, and find a way to end this.
No one cared with what Stan was wearing. He wasn't bringing attention to himself so they didn't notice. All they know is it's the end of the world, and the kids are asking Stan's look-a-like if he knew a way.
Luckily Ford did. It wasn't until he saw everyone did he realize it. The pictures from when he summoned Bill showed different symbols that are the keys to stopping him.
The Cipher Wheel got nine of the ten it needs and Ford told everyone else to clear the room, as he has no idea what would happen. As everyone got to relative safety, Stanford looks at the last symbol and calls Stanley over.
Only to [embarrassingly] ask what he's wearing.
To everyone else it's a part of Weirdmageddon and doesn't need an explanation. They couldn't see why Ford is so flustered when everything else is weirder than Stan.
Stan ignores his brother's question and request. He wasn't going to help, not when it always blows up in his face. Not when no one ever acknowledges the sacrifices he gave to bring his brother home.
Surely having his brother back, the smarter and favored twin, is worth this. Too bad no one would think otherwise.
He only agreed to do this when the kids convinced him. But he wanted Ford to say "thank-you" before whatever happens to them happens.
He knew it wasn't genuine. He was willing to ignore it. But Ford had to correct him on his grammar and reminds him how much better he is and Stan wasn't going to let it go!
But then Bill came in. The Wheel is broken and six of them have been turned into tapestries.
Bill didn't notice what Stan is wearing. Of course not, because he had what he wanted and now needs to force Ford into telling him how to get Weirdmageddon global. What Stan is wearing is none of his concern.
But the kids are smart. They knew how to get out and avoid Bill long enough for their Grunkles to escape or come up with a better plan.
Bill comes back with the kids. He gives Ford the count to "You" to give up. He knows he won. There is no way the elder twins would ever stop fighting.
Besides, had he ever thought they might switch places, he knew Ford would rather die than wear what Stan is wearing.
All it took was entering the man's mind and the deal is set. Soon the battle would end and one side would lose.
The battle to "Take Back the Falls" vs "Taking Weirdmageddon Global" is over.
The Pines family stands over their fallen member. While the body is alive, the mind, the memories; are gone. Everything that makes this man Him is gone.
Stan Pines is dead.
But the cost has brought Gravity Falls back to its former glory. No longer was everything in endless weirdness. The end of the world is has ended.
They have won.
But at this moment, the Pines family is trying to figure out if it's worth it. It's what they wanted, but now they are realizing how nothing is going to be the same again.
They had other things on their mind to notice anything off. For one, their home looks like it has been abandon for years with all of the forest's growth and all the dust it accumulate. Not to mention the rotting wood and uneven surfaces.
Mabel wasn't ready to give up. She knows her Grunkle Stan is in there, and she's going to bring him back.
Because she didn't give up, Stan started to remember.
It's the kids' birthday and everyone is attending. Not everyone went back to who they were before Weirdmageddon happened.
Luckily for Stan, the only thing that stayed was his memory lapses.
Once the celebration is over, and the older twins reconcile, everyone went back to their lives. Since the twins have decided to leave, they left Soos in charge of the Mystery Shack. Mabel's friends don't want her to leave as there were so many things they haven't done yet.
Dipper and Mabel knew nothing is going to be the same when they get back home. But at least they have each other. And that's all that matters.
It was asked why Stan was wearing what he was and Stan claims he doesn't remember. Ford seems glad he doesn't remember even though most still believe it was the result of Weirdmageddon.
Mabel still has the pictures. Only when she put them into her book she asks why it was still there after everything went back to normal. Ford claimed it was because they switched the clothes and most certainly not because Stan wanted to.
Besides, why would Stan ever wear a dress and heels that looks similar to his Mr. Mystery suit? Even though he looked good in it…
AN: Okay, if it isn't clear, in this story Stan cross-dress. He likes the way the dresses feel on his body and the way they look.
Because it's not for men, Stan never wears them outside his closet, not since he started taking care of the twins.
When Weirdmageddon happened, Stan figured no one would question it and put one on. He fought monsters and gather survivors and supplies while wearing heels. Because he didn't make a big fuss with it, no one ever made the connection.
Is it called cross-dressing if you're not acting like the other sex? In this AU of mine, Stan Likes wearing dresses, but he isn't trying to be female.
