Onto The Fic Recommendations!!!!

I’m cracking my knuckles. @pinefamilycatsau you have no idea what you’ve just called upon yourself.

(Also thank you! I love what I’ve seen of your pines family cats, Query is my favorite :) )

Onto The Fic Recommendations!!!!

Also, fair warning, my favorite tags happen to be hurt comfort and angst. A majority of these recs will reflect that

Also I FIGURED OUT HOW TO ADD LINKS!!!

Empty Graves by gravitron complete!

After a nice trip out on the open seas, Ford visits Gravity Falls Cemetery to visit a familiar headstone.

Oh this fic is a lovely. It’s one of those quiet, introspective fics that you think about later, and this one in particular is just so good.

Can you hear me now? Good! by OrangeOctopi7 complete!

What if Ford had a phone with him when he went through the portal? One with really, really good service?

You guys like the Martian Stan AU? THIS FIC is one kind of similar, in that it follows the thirty or so years that Ford is in the portal, only it INCLUDES Stan’s running commentary via a telephone with a really long cord (not really). Such a delightful read.

Double Cursed by DarkLordOfAwesomeness @dark-lord-of-awesomeness 2/? Chapters as of Feb 5th

Stanley Pines has been stuck as a cat for weeks(? Hard to keep track), when he meets a wolf with a similar problem in the woods.

Stanford Pines has recently been cursed into the form of a wolf and stumbles upon a cat while running through the woods.

Both agree to work together to break their curses, neither of them catches the others name.

First of all, if you ARENT reading all of DarkLordOfAwesomeness’s fics then what are you even doing. The Cat Stan AU is PEAK, and I jump every-time I see Cat Stan Extras update. This fic in particular is just. Beautiful. And identity based shenanigans are so much fun. Seriously, read this fic, and then go read everything else this author wrote.

A robin in a glass maze by carpetchewer @heideez complete!

somewhere in the middle of nowhere, oregon, a homeless, nameless vagabond is murdered in the snow.

a haunted, half-mad scientist will break all laws of the universe to bring him back.

FRANKENSTAN AU MY BELOVED. THIS FIC MAKES ME GNAW AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE. Seriously tho I gotta plug this fic because it is just hauntingly beautiful. Also, this fic is a part of an ongoing Frankenstan series that brings me joy every time it updates, and we really just need more Frankenstan in the world. Love this fic!

Lost Time by BethKerring complete!

Ford has missed over forty birthdays with his brother, and there's nothing he can do to get them back. But he can still make their first birthday back together as meaningful as possible.

If he can figure out how.

(Or, Ford does his best to be a good brother. Shenanigans ensue.)

This is one of those fluff fics that make you smile so hard you have to look away from your screen. It’s just. So. Good. Ford’s internal dialogue is heart wrenchingly sincere and earnest, and this fic DOES make me tear up a little bit. Or maybe it’s just dust, you can’t prove anything.

Along the Shore by castielrisingabove complete!

Two weeks after Ford walks out of that portal, Stan and Ford go fishing.

The DIALOGUE of this fic. I laughed at this right out of the gate, and there isn’t a line in this fic that doesnt spark joy. It’s canon. To me.

I will definitely continue this list eventually, but these are the ones that come to my head immediately. Go give your love to these authors, because they are MASTERS in word craft
