(I installed a polyam mod cuz I couldn‘t decide between marriage and Krobus)
Intro to a Gravity Falls AU comic I‘m developing.
The premise is that Shermie, the Stans‘ older brother is the Mystery Twins‘ father instead of grandfather. Mabel and Dipper move to Gravity Falls after their parents‘ untimely death and stay with Stan at the then still “Murder hut“. (He changes that shortly after the kids move in)
Mystery twins Dipper and Mabel get to spend their childhood and teenage years in Gravity Falls. Dipper still finds Journal 3 and Mabel still gets Waddles.
There‘s a lot of smaller things changed too, but I‘ll get to those later.
I don‘t really have a fitting name yet for this AU. I guess I‘ll go with the #UncleStanAU for now. If anyone has a better fitting idea please let me know :D

[Image ID: Page one:
Panel one shows a car driving down a forest road during nighttime, headlights on. The sky is illuminated by the moon and partially cloudy. The title “Arrival in Gravity Falls“ is placed in the upper left corner of the page.
Panel two and three depict a 30 year old -ish Stanley Pines at the wheel and then him looking into the rearview mirror. He is looking worriedly at the two kids in the backseat in panel four. Dipper and Mabel are sitting next to each other. Dipper is frowning and Mabel is resting her head on her brother‘s shoulder, hiding her arms in her sweater.
Panel five shows the not yet Mystery Shack, illuminated by the car‘s headlights.
Page two:
Panel one depicts Stan opening the car door and telling the kids: “We‘re here, kiddos.“ He is crouching down to be at eye level with them and is resting a hand on the door.
In panel two Stan opens the door to the kids‘ still dark and empty bedroom, saying: “This is your room.“
In panel three the light has been turned on and Stan has put a bag on one of the beds. He nervously gestures around and tells the kids: “I know it‘s not much, but it‘s all I got right now.”
The twins in panel four are listening to their uncle talk. Dipper looks angry while Mabel looks sad and worried, half her face obscured by her hair.
The text bubbles continue with: ”We‘ll work on making it feel more like a home for you tomorrow, I-“ Stan is then cut off by Dipper saying: “This isn’t our home. It will never be our home! I want to go back. I want Mommy and Daddy!”
Panel five consists of a headshot of both Dipper and Stan. Dipper is crying while yelling at his uncle and Stan is looking at him with worry.
Page three.
Stan is resting a hand on each of the twins’ shoulders in panel one and two, saying: “I know, kid. I know this is hard, but you’ll have to stay here for a while, okay? There are some things your grandparents and I have to figure out. get some rest, you two. We’ll talk in the morning.”
The speech bubbles slightly obscure panel three, in which Stan is sitting alone at the kitchen table, light on.
Panel four shows Stan dragging a hand down his face, sighing.
“Oh guys, what am I doing?” He says while looking at the table in front of him. He is holding a picture of 10 year old Stanley, his twin brother Stanford and their older brother Sherman. There are other pictures strewn across the table, one with both Stanley and Stanford sharing a beer, one with Sherman Pines at his wedding and one of the Stans’ childhood ship, the Stan ‘o War. Stanford’s glasses lie on the table next to the pictures.
The last text bubble says: ”End of prologue” /.End ID]
Character lineup of all the important kids and young adults for the UncleStanAU.
Everyone except Wendy and Soos are around 16 to 17 here. Wendy is 21 and Soos is 25. (Waddles is like 4 or 5)
.
Characters from left to right:
Mabel, Waddles, Pacifica, Wendy, Dipper, Oliver, Soos, Candy, Grenda.
In this AU, Wendy’s mother is still around and instead of having 3 brothers, Wendy has 5 brothers and 1 sister. One of her brothers, Oliver, is Dipper and Mabel’s age and became part of their friend group when the twins entered high school.
This is also where Mabel met Candy and Grenda. Their teenage years outside of school are mostly spent hanging out in smaller separate friend groups or exploring the woods of Gravity Falls together.

Drawing of the younger Gravity falls characters walking through grass. Mabel is leading Pacifica by the hand in the front while laughing, Waddles next to them. Wendy is following at a slower pace, looking relaxed. Dipper and Wendy's brother Oliver are right behind her. Dipper is concentrating on Journal 3 in his hand. Soos follows after, then Candy and Grenda, arms over each other's shoulders and singing a song. /.End ID]
Minicomic for the UncleStanAU
The Intro/Prologue can be found here.
I wanted to make something more innocent and happy before we get to more angst.
This takes place when the twins are around 12-13 years old. I'd imagine the whole episode playing out very similarly to how it does in canon, except McGucket is not down there with them.

[Image ID: Comic page consists of seven panels.
Panel one depicts a scene from season 1, episode 18: "Land before swine". Stan, Soos, Dipper and Mabel have entered the cavern with the Dinosaurs seeled in amber.
Panel two is a close-up of Dipper, holding up a lantern and looking around in wonder.
His foot gets stuck in some amber in panel three. As he is trying to free himself he notices an egg suspended in the melting substance right next to him, which he pulls out in panel four.
He inspects the egg, still dripping amber in panel five, before getting spooked by someone yelling: "DIPPER! You coming or not?". He holds the egg close to his chest in panel six and proceeds to put it into his backpack in panel 7, yelling back: "Be right there!" /.End ID]
How old are Dipper and Mabel when Ford comes back to Gravity Falls? Does he even return to their dimension in this AU? What role does Bill have in this AU, if at all?
I don't wanna give everything away just yet, but yes, Ford does make an appearance in the AU.
Bill is also a big factor, Weirdmageddon does still happen, just a little differently than in canon.
I'm gonna reveal more stuff gradually through mini comics or character pages, so I hope you'll be sticking around long enough to find out :]
