Hey, it's awesome to see people enjoying the first installment of this, and hopefully I can keep up with the sentence stories for a while! As long as I have enough prompts I'll try to regularly update every weekend, but it might change depending on how much time and prompts I have (can you tell I like prompts?)

Also, as a note: this story is marked complete not because I'm not going to be updating it (quite the contrary as my ANs give away, I want to keep this going as long as possible), but more because of the nature of sentence stories. There aren't really going to be any cliffhangers or continuations unless I get really inspired, and even those will remain within a single chapter, so people who filter out works-in-progress in an attempt to avoid cliffies have no reason to fear (unlike every other fic I write ever)!

Thanks again to sapphireswimming for graciously providing more prompts, and to the anonymous guest who left the first five in a review. This may not be what you were expecting, as I tried to shy away from the obvious connections to the fandom, but hope you enjoy!

Enjoy!

Picturesque; scenically wooded


21. Trust

Dipper sighed as he rested his hand on the cover of his manuscript wondering how he would be able to share the secrets, dangers, and wonders of the supernatural if he couldn't trust anyone to believe it as truth.

22. Star

Watching the footage of the Tent of Telepathy being torn down played over and over on the local news as he underwent booking, Gideon Gleeful fumed at how ironic it was that his chase for a Shooting Star lost him from losing his own star.

23. Triangle

Candy and Grenda both knew that Marius von Fundshauser wasn't the only boy who was off-limits; it would break Mabel's heart if her two best friends pursued their dream of a love triangle with her brother.

24. Break (Carpet Diem)

No matter how hard he tried to relax in his new break room, Soos would himself constantly overwhelmed by the feelings of loves lost, lives almost eaten, and the sheer exhilaration of having his own bedroom in the Mystery Shack, even if Mr. Pines refused to refer to it as such.

25. Fix

Stanford Pines had just wanted to fix the family he had broken so many years ago with his ignorance; now, it seemed that his ignorance had only fractured it further.

26. Hibernation

"Don't think of it so much as a trap but as a very long nap: you always did want to grow up faster, Pine Tree."

27. Perfect (Irrational Treasure)

Mabel may get into trouble with adults or rude kids like Pacifica over her tendency towards silliness, but watching her take off her sweater so optimistic and determined to help and be serious Dipper had to make the selfish decision to let Mabel tag along and swallow the urge to tell her she was already perfect as is.

28. Worth (Northwest Mansion Mystery)

What were fame, pride, money and perfection worth if it meant closing herself off her the manor, locking the rest of the world out, cheating things away those who needed and deserved it, and just in general doing things Pacifica knew were wrong?

29. Shade (Sock Opera)

The varying shades of gray only reminded Dipper that trapped here in the Mindscape he was nothing but a lonely shade as well.

30. Natural (That two second shot in Tourist Trapped where Dipper's playing with a Game Boy. You know the one.)

The Pines parents had hoped that this summer would separate Dipper from his obsession with technology, but having their son come to the door covered in forest and clearly not having shower in a week made them reconsider making him spend the summer 'all natural'.

31. Stun

Bill felt his little puppet thrash before him as the demon reached through the Mindscape, and gripping the string tighter in his fist he watched with anticipation as the boy's body slowed and eventually fell asleep.

32. Week (Sock Opera)

It was amazing how much Mabel could create in a week when she put her mind to it, and how much Dipper could destroy in a night when Bill took his mind out of it.

33. Collection

Watching Shooting Star glue pictures into her scrapbook and Pine Tree scribbling into his journal on their respective twin beds, Bill realized how adorable it was that his collections had collection of their own.

34. Fever

Pine Tree's birthmark was sweaty with the fever, but it wasn't his physical human ailment that worried Bill as much as diving into the Mindscape to wake the kid up and seeing his thoughts scattered and delirious as the whole world burned, Pine Tree on his knees in a way that reminded Bill all too much of his old evil plans.

35. Inspire

Being an all-powerful demon, it made sense that Bill had inspired a number of worshipers and artists (just look at the tapestry in the Northwest Manor), but seeing Shooting Star knitting his image on her latest sweater made the demon more satisfied than even a human sacrifice.

36. Better (Little Dipper)

Sure, Mabel wanted to be the alpha twin and dreamed of beating her brother at something, but the realization that she was taller even in this shrunken form came with the discovery that she didn't want to be better if it meant that Dipper was worse.

37. Color

As the summer went on Dipper began to truly appreciate how full of color Mabel always was: her neon sweaters and rainbow stuffed animals bled colorful sensations into the dark that were all too welcome after being trapped in grayscale nightmares.

38. Garden

Any forest, no matter how vast or magical to the young Pine Sapplings growing within, seems to be nothing but a garden to those who hold the key.

39. Simple (Into the Bunker/Double Dipper)

Despite the itchy feeling in his heart (and from those bug bites still on his arm), Dipper stared down at the torn remains of his confession plan to Wendy, threw it into the drawer containing the shreds of his disasterous party with the girl of his dreams, and realized that maybe just friendship will be a good thing if it means making things simpler.

40. Winner (Double Dipper)

Pacifica may have left haloed in cheap plastic and worshiped by adoring townsfolk, but looking into the eyes of two girls who sincerely appreciated her even without the spotlight, Mabel realized that maybe she was the real winner tonight.

Bonus: for some weird reason I kept reading the above as "winter" so you get this as well!

40.5 Winter

The white snow and bare trees among the resolute Pines outside were visible symbols of the harsh Oregonian winters, but it was the silence from the lack of younger Pines within that made the Mystery Shack feel barren.
