So sorry these are late! I had finals last week and then moved back from college (though I'm back and commuting in a week because summer classes woohoo! ._.) Though I have a week break and am definitely going to try to catch up on writing both for this story and for wow the more others than I was expecting to juggle at once. I'll get on that.

This chapter is split half and half from two of my favorite supporters. 121-130 is from the ever amazing Bedravi, and 131-140 is from sapphireswimming. The continued interest and requests mean a lot.

Enjoy!


Boscaresque

Picturesque; scenically wooded


121. Ashamed

Preston Northwest and his wife sat at the dining room table staring down their daughter uncomfortably as the butler poured the seafoam green pea soup: never before had either of them been ashamed of anything bearing the Northwest family name, not even the illicit deeds done by their ancestors, so why were they feeling this combination of anger and guilt at their daughter's praised and altruistic actions?

122. Fang Disclaimer: this author does not support any moral views portrayed by Gideon ever. Hopefully that much is clear to you folk.

Gideon Gleeful felt a streak of determination run through him as he approached the black shadowed teenagers; Mabel Pines may think he's too creepy to date as a boyfriend, but he knew girls accepted more stalking with vampire boyfriends and he'd do anything for his little sweet peach.

123. Game

Candy had been fine playing Calling All Boys: Preteen Edition despite the mechanical voice, until one night she played her first turn and picked up to hear a real, human stranger on the other end.

124. Night

The twins had never been out in the woods after dark before, so they had no way of knowing that the happy-go-luck feel of the diurnal woodland creatures shifted entirely after dusk.

125. Spike

Mabel knew that her little brother was seriously fashioned impaired (I mean there are only enough beautiful genes in one womb) and that he was still harboring his HUGE crush on Wendy, who likewise had a weird but totally understandable thing for creepy-vampire like guys (like Robbie! and Norman, before he turned out to be gnome jerks), so it shouldn't have been such a disastrous surprise to wake up one morning to hear Dipper singing Disco Girl in the bathroom as he died his hair into one giant black mohawk spike.

126. Whip (brief ATLA reference)

While a grappling hook made a great weapon, it couldn't simply be used as any weapon, but that didn't stop Stan's amused snort as he watched his great niece whip the thing around her, transforming from a thief into a warrior princess into some thingamajig called a "waterbender", as the old criminal mastermind considered that the next 'family bonding day' should be spent training with weapons.

127. Brother

Grunkle Stan did the best he could with the little time he had with the twins: he bonded with Mabel, gave her someone she could trust once it was too late and tried his best to train Dipper so he could have a fighting chance, but anyone in Gravity Falls (him and Stanley, Preston and Ivan, Soos's dad and his Cousin Reggie's father) would testify that there was a force in Gravity Falls that had a particular penchant for brothers.

128. Love (Into the Bunker)

Hearing Wendy's rejection hurt (and itched, mainly itched), but really the comfort of Mabel and Soos, and knowing that the teenager was willing to fight through anything to stay with him, even if not in the way he wanted, made Dipper's heart ache in a good way, a way that felt more full, as if he had finally realized that his love for these friends went deeper than a crush, and that the itchiness might just be his heart's growing pains.

129. Discover (Not What He Seems)

Ever since discovering the secrets hidden in 3 Dipper had dreamed of finding the Author, of putting all the clues together and solving the mystery of what happened to him, maybe even save him from the "he" who is watching, be the smart guy, the hero, the one who figures everything out; all in one night, all to eerily echoing his prediction of "more like a nightmare", with Grunkle Stan arrested and everything falling apart, it became obvious to Dipper how childish he was when he really knew nothing: he wasn't the smart guy, he wasn't the hero, Stan the lovable horrible con-man who got his family either way was, he even got Mabel's trust when it came down to it, because in the end he knew better.

130. Blood (Sequel to 122 Fang)

If Gideon couldn't have the sweet peach scent that was Mabel Pines ruling by his side for all eternity, he'd just have to find a way to keep his love ever closer, and there's nothing closer to someone's heart than making them the very blood that beats through his cursed veins.

131. Ancestor (Soul Eater Crossover AU) I'm sorry for how technically Soul Eater this is, like seriously feel free to skip as this might be a record for most SE buzzwords put in a sentence. I had the idea for a while and couldn't help but include it here. It was the first thing I remembered for this prompt and since that universe highly implies weapons are genetic... *shrugs*.

Cipher watched from the shadows under the stain-glassed window as the twins switched from meister to weapon in fighting the latest monster hiding in Gravity Falls: this little training ground away from Death's watch was the perfect place to train the latest Pines family weapons, and the old pair of witches hiding on the outskirts wouldn't know what was coming once the twins consumed their 99 monster souls; wouldn't the Kishen be proud of this little demon once he unleashed the chaos of two stolen Death Scythes on Shibusen.

132. Virtue

Shooting Star was an angel from a distance, a guiding light and a goddess to all those around her, but she was a goddess of destruction as much as creation, and her naive optimism and hopefully crafting was as much a vice as a virtue.

133. Brisk (Mabel's Guide to Life)

Mabel smacked her forehead as she called the take a wrap and watched Grenda and Candy prepare for another shoot: Waddles was supposed to be perfect in his role as the Jog Hog, but he was only pulling off an extremely brisk walk!

134. Steal

Dipper felt his breath hitch as Soos lowered him in Mission Impossible style through the window that once shed light on the man's break room; he saw his Grandfather's sleeping form and the third journal tucked under the man's arm and whispered "we're in."

135. Suspicions

Agent Powers slammed his fists on the interrogation table and watched the subject flinch and the man pushed the communication device on his ear and called for Trigger to keep a closer eye on the kids: he didn't know how the criminal mastermind so quickly found a doppelganger so willing to stand for him, but he knew Stanford Pines, the man was slimy and slippery and dripping in his latest con, and this man in front of him, silently faking confidence rather than loudly protesting at the charges that even Powers admitted were stretching the law was definitely not Stanford Pines.

136. Fence (Blendin's Game)

There was always the white picket fence separating Soos's house from the outside world, from his father; Abuelita liked the sense of normality and uniformity it gave to their family, proof that they were as insular and complete as everyone else, but to Soos it was the first piece of the house he had to fix as its young patriarch, and he watched his duty chain in to the fence, inside the fence as others kids played and knew somehow that he would always be a handyman, destined to fix the home while other little ones ran free and adventured without him.

137. Prison

Agents Powers and Trigger had heard that a powerful psychic had been imprissoned within Gravity Falls, and despite the voices in the back of their minds being unknowingly drowned out shouting there's a reason they keep him in maximum security the agents felt it would go against their constitutional duty to let this 9-year-old stay locked up.

138. Hope (Gideon Rises / Not What He Seems)

Whenever Stan felt the past catch up to him, old enemies and agencies narrowing in to take him away he felt the age old thrill of another con and remembered why life was worth living, until he looked in the haunted eyes of the two twins the world was taking him away from, filled with sadness and hope to stay and love their idol of an uncle, and Stanford Pines felt a calling to life even more gratifying than the constant thrill.

139. Trace

Dipper had a hard time balancing his work with sleep at first (it's hard to focus when he was practically eating his own shirt), but Mabel would freak out if she learned her twin brother was learning to draw and she was far too boisterous to actually sketch before splashing her work with color, let alone do the fine traces Dipper wanted to copy like the Author.

140. Nasty (The Land Before Swine)

They may be beautiful and a twelve year old girl's dream, but after having her hair pulled for over an hour by angry pixies and her sweater ruined by the puke of a dozen disgusting barf fairies made Mabel reconsider her answer when magazine asked her favorite mythical creature.


Please feel free to leave more prompts, I promise I do go back to this and start on sentences as soon as I get them! I can promise I will have the next chapter done and published during the actual weekend.
