Summary
Stanford declares with no small amount of pride: "I have finally taken care of that prank caller."
"Oh, managed to find a curse you could mumble out before they hung up?" Fiddleford jovially responds. "Lucky you!"
"Luck had nothing to do with it, my friend, I assure you. This was the result of innovative thinking! Of careful engineering!"

Summary
“Hey brother, it’s Sixer! I’m going to take a swim in the frozen lake tomorrow, and I might not ever come back, so if you don’t hear from me, I just want you to know that it’s because I never loved you. BUH-BYEEEEE!”
A "what if the call went through?" au fic, where Stan and Ford reunite just a little earlier than in canon, and it changes everything.

Summary
When the man wakes up, he doesn't know where he is or why these two other men are so distressed.
Speaking of,
If experiences make a person who they are, then who are they when they have none?
And what does that mean for the life another them built? Is it theirs?

Summary
Somewhere in New Mexico, Stanley Pines is murdered.
A few minutes later, he wakes up on the floor of the most Murder Hut looking cabin he's ever seen, in Oregon.
Meanwhile, Stanford Pines finds himself abruptly in what looks like a crime scene, just an hour before Bill's deadline to turn on the portal.
Honestly, that's no longer his biggest concern.

Summary
Stanford Pines had a great life.
He was living in a town that was just as odd as he was, and studying things that most people didn't even believe were real. He was quite literally living his dream, discovering and researching various anomalies.
He was even dipping his toe into inventing! Once he was finished with this carpet, he could prove himself to be truly great, just like he had always wanted--or...he would have, if there hadn't been a small slip up.
On a completely unrelated note, Stanley Pines had...a difficult life.
(Or: Ford messes up while making the body swapping carpet, and switches minds with his twin...from the other side of the country. He has to make his way back home to fix this, and learns some shocking things about his brother's life in the process.)

Summary
When you’re stuck wandering the universe, dimension hopping one by one on a long journey home, chances are you’re gonna make a gamble or two. Or three. Or four. Or plenty more. And what better place for Stanley to place a bet than a poker table?
But you’re gonna need more than a little bit of luck when your rather persistent opponent is Bill Cipher.
Or: two conmen walk into a casino.

Summary
Brrring...
Ford's head snapped up, eyes narrowing. The phone? Who on earth would be calling him at this hour? Certainly not any of his professors. One of his colleagues? More likely, but he had told them repeatedly not to call him late at night.
Irritation flared.
The man made his way over to the landline, glaring for a brief moment and imagining letting it ring–
Brrring!
–But who knew how long they would try to call him for. He wasn't keen on adding a headache to everything.
This had better be important.
With a long-suffering sigh, he picked up the phone, "Hello? Stanford Pines speaking."
A pause. Then:
Hello, this is Head Nurse Vandermeer from Henry County Hospital, calling regarding a John Doe patient currently held in the ICU...
And Ford's world, so simple, tipped on its axis.
---
or: Ford gets a call regarding Stanley's failing health in the hospital. It all goes downhill from there.

...it's suspicious, isn’t it?
And the more Stan looks, the more he sees, and all is definitely not what it seems.

I hear, I see, I do not learn
—
In one dimension, Stanford Pines emerges from the portal alone.
Upstairs, he encounters his niece and nephew(s?) for the first time, who are very surprised to see a guy come out from behind the vending machine in the gift shop.
Only one person has the explanation for them all, and the government has made sure he won't be able to share it. (for about 12 hours).

Summary
It was one of those concrete facts of life, the sort of thing you forget about because you’ve lived with it your whole existence and didn’t know anything different. Gravity was trying to pull you to the center of the earth, sweet things tasted good but made your teeth fall out and your body rebel against you, and Dipper could see dead people.
*** *** ***
Dipper Pines has long resigned himself to a life of fear and anxiety, waiting for the next horrific ghost around the corner, a beast only he could see. But the ghosts in Gravity Falls are different from the ghosts back home, in more way than he could have ever imagined.
And there's a ghost with secrets he never expected just waiting to be discovered in the shack.

Summary
Ford is going to go to West Coast Tech. Yes, there was a bump in the road, Stan broke his perpetual motion machine, but he fixed it! No need to worry, everything was alright and no one would know–
Ford doesn’t get in. Stan is kicked out. Homeless and scared, he falls asleep in the Stanleymobile with a thin reassurance that, at the very least, this is the worst of it.
And then he wakes up in his bed again, and Stan has to wonder, maybe that’s not true.

Was it just the simple act of being born?
He'll never know.
Wait, what's that light?

Summary
Stanford Pines has missed a lot in his thirty years of nonconsensual multiverse hopping. This includes the changes the DSM (and society) has undergone, a fact he realises as he attempts to research Mabel's new diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - one which becomes increasingly relevant as he contends with the ever-increasing chances that he is autistic.
Basically, Ford realizes he's autistic and has to deal with recontextualizing his past sixty-something years of life with this new information, very loosely based off personal experience.
Sidenote, I hate that the puzzle piece is so associated with abelist assholes, it would've been so thematically appropriate to give this fic a puzzle related name for its self discovery themes.

Summary
Stanley has been down on his luck for the better part of a decade. He's long given up on stupid hopes of making millions, going back home or sailing the seven seas. If there's anything he could even wish for, however, it'd be to see his brother again.
But first, he'd like to get rid of the figure that looks and sounds exactly like Ford.
