Ok so for months I’ve had this ask sitting in my inbox
Finally, FINALLY since its mermay I decided to do it.
I ended up liking it so much that I started thinking of lore and it all spiraled into an AU.
So I present to you:
Ford comes to gravity falls for the same reasons as he did in canon except that on top of all his other interest, he also has a degree in marine/aquatic biology. Long story short, he somehow breaks one of the seals that kept Serpas (Bill) imprisoned. He was put there like 500 years ago by the Shaman after being a destructive force of nature in the ocean for Eons. They convinces Ford to break the seal on them so that their full power can come back and they can go back to the sea.
Despite having 500 years to contemplate, Bill doesn't actually know how to break the seal, because the Shaman put a curse on it that makes them unable to see it and only a human can break it. But also it's at the bottom of the lake, which is really, unnaturally deep. So Ford needs to build a special submarine. HOWEVER. There is also a time limit because the seal can only be broken on a special event that happens every 500 years, the same night where the Shaman first sealed them. So after a few months, Ford realizes that he'll never be able to make it in time and calls Fiddleford.
And that’s how the story starts :)
@matcha-milkies thought he was being slick by saying the reference image was for the outfit only. well i can't be tricked, i know a stealing opportunity composition when i see one! ahem. anyway. Married Life fanart in the year of our lord 2025
original image + bonus under the cut cuz i worked WAY too hard on the book cover to have it be so low quality
So like I made meme chat
He’ll figure it out eventually
Augghhhh
Non-diagetic post. Bill would never let anyone see him with his husband like this. For as abusive as he is, Bill will always be a person to H more than a monster. For all the physical barriers that made leaving nearly impossible, the thing that really kept him with Bill for so long, more than anything else, was an unwillingness to leave. These little moments of tenderness and intimacy were precisely the sort of things that made leaving so hard.
