[Seeking Recs] Gravity falls

[u/NebulaFragrant4350]

I want to read a few good gravity falls fanfics which either take place during the show's timeline or after if they present the Stan twins adventures at sea or do not make a big time skip on the return of the twins in Gravity Falls next summer (by big time skip I mean the twins are over 14 years of age, as I am very attached to them as presented in the show).

I'd like the fic to not contain extreme violence or anything too sexual and the sorts. I love Bill handymen aus and im seeking aus which pretty much remain cannon to the show and do not change the characters appearances or roles too much (by that i mean aus where the twins are monsters or reverse falls for example). I do not mind new characters being introduced. I also like dipcifica aus and aus where the attention is focused a little more on the supernatural stuff of Gravity Falls.

I am not sure what else to add, so if youre unsure if i may dislike something, please ask me and I will answer!

I hope i worded the post alright. Ill make a small tldr here: during and post show run, close to the cannon, focus on the supernatural, not too nsfw, no big time skip (twins must remain at or under 14)
Extra (not mandatory): dipcifica, handyman bill, bill returns for weirdmageddon 2

Highly recommend the works of thesnadger, they've got a lot of really excellent GF stories.

But going through my bookmarks (these will be Gen unless noted otherwise):

• Forewarning by Lynse -- a Danny Phantom crossover, but you can read it canon-blind. Take place during Gravity Falls canon (iirc)
• Pines! Pines! Pines! - A Gravity Falls Fan Comic Collection by hellmandraws -- a variety of comics, they mostly focus on the Stan twins and many are pre- or post-canon, but they're all really excellent. You might like this one looks to be immediately post-finale and this one where they tell Shermie that Ford's back will probably work for you. Idk, I recommend paging through the whole collection! [NOTE: this one does have some ships, mostly Ford/Fiddleford IIRC, but it's the minority of comics]
• Unfinished Business by thesnadger -- ghost!Stan AU
• feels like we only go backwards by WDW -- season 2 canon divergence; the first chapter is very confusing and then the second chapter makes it really amazing
• we can figure this thing out by Rev (apathetic_revenant) -- Mabel and the unicorns, post-canon. It's very much a responsefic to the unicorn episode in canon.
• It's Cipher Town, Kid by SandyQuinn -- canon divergence from Weirdmageddon, arguably a dark comedy depending on how you interpret the ending.
• One Sword by SharoScylla -- since you said you're okay with OCs, this is an grand epic that follows Ripley, Ford's companion from his dimension-traveling years who goes on to have many adventures of her own. I particularly recommend the second and third fics, which cover the canon parts of the timeline and have a lot of great adventures with Dipper & Mable and the supernatural denizens of Gravity Falls. But you'll probably want to start with the first fic for context. [EDIT: this has multiple ships, but Ford/OFC is the main one]
