"Well, I'm calling because," the voice on the other end sounded high-strung as all get out. "You see, we were working on a-a project together, and it, well, it hasn't turned out exactly as expected-" his voice cracked.

Summary
Ford does not want to be at Backupsmore University. He should be in California, at West Coast Tech, showing the world that he's more than a freakish waste of space from Jersey; showing the world that he's more than the scrawny, brainy half of a dynamic duo. He's angry, sure, and he's sure-as-fuck tired of being just one-of-two-Stans.
But who isn't angry right now? The world is in turmoil, they're sending our boys to Vietnam and if it wasn't for this stupid school, Ford would have probably been sucked into the draft himself.
But then he meets Fiddleford Hadron McGucket, and everything is different now. -

Summary
“The author of the journals,” Stan said, finally standing up. "My brother."
The author of the journals, his brother, looked at the miniscule crowd that had arrived by accident to greet him. The author looked between them all, and Dipper could see reflection on his face from the light of the slowly dimming portal. The author’s gaze finally settled on Stan, and his posture stiffened.
“Dad?” The author of the journals, his brother, choked out. He sounded absolutely baffled.
Stan’s expression turned equally baffled, clearly not anticipating this. “What?”
*** *** ***
The portal has opened, and spat out Stanford Filbrick Pines, exactly as he was when he left. Thirty years has passed for the outside world, but only a few hours have been lost for him.
It changes things. Especially with the worst memories of Ford's life still hot on his tail, and eager to make a reappearance.

Summary
A crisp autumn breeze cuts through pine needles, stirring up leaf litter across the forest floor. Evergreens remain unchanging in the face of shifting seasons, even as other foliage takes on new, vibrant colors. Deer graze on yellowing grass with all the tranquility of a nature documentary. For just a moment, the ever strange town of Gravity Falls seems almost peaceful.
OR
I took that one page in Journal Three about vampire bats and went a bit nutty with it. Enjoy.

Summary
In retrospect, Ford should've known better than to touch an obscure futuristic artifact. On the other hand, he wouldn't have been himself if that impulse hadn't arisen.
He didn't have his journal anymore, so he could only make a mental note that one shouldn't use the device too frequently unless they want to be thrown back a decade in time. Because, as Ford realized when he woke up in his childhood room, that is exactly what would happen.
Ford had spent several years in Gravity Falls before an accident with some time traveling device happened. He woke up before the science fair and got an opportunity to prevent his project from being sabotaged and–less desirably–to see things from Stanley's perspective.

Summary
“If you could see one person one more time before the big bad Ruskies obliterate us,” Robin giggles, “who would it be?”
Steve has been feeling so wonderfully unabashedly honest for these last few minutes or months or however long they’ve been here, tied together in their Scoops uniforms and possibly dying from beating-induced brain hemorrhages or Russian poison that he says, without hesitating, “Jonathan Byers. And I’d give him a big ole kiss.”

Summary
Jonathan and Steve haven't spoken in months. Steve almost prefers it that way, because at least he knows how to act. Don't get too close, don't get caught staring, don't let anyone know--they're easy rules to follow.
But, when Jonathan goes missing, and the quiet town of Hawkins is suddenly not-so-quiet, it becomes harder and harder for Steve to hide the truth. He's not even sure what the truth is, anymore. He's not sure he wants to find out.
---
A rewrite of S1 centered on the premise: What if Jonathan went missing instead of Will? (And: What if Steve and Jonathan were childhood friends turned enemies turned lovers turned enemies again?)Series

Tags
Summary
Gideon Graves sat in a throne of lies.
Everything in his life was built this way. He drew a veil over the eyes of every person who knew him, whispering beguiling words and meaningless promises. But although meaningless, they created their own power. Gideon Graves, in the eyes of others, was the embodiment of sheer and utter control
There was, however, no Gideon Graves. There was no power, and no control, for that matter. Gordon Goose had nothing except a fake name and an empire made of glass
━━━━
Gideon tries to get the League back together, but is hit with the reality that everyone has changed except him.

One night while taking inventory at Family Video, Steve finds four boxed sets of tapes titled Stranger Things. He doesn’t think much of it and just marks it down on his page under Transfer In. He’ll shelve them in the morning.
Or, a Watching the Show fic done a bit differently. As in, they’re NOT transported into a magical movie theater with a Self Insert omniscient being controlling the remote. Instead, there’s a plot.
