Forgive Me, I’m Not Great With Backgrounds Quite Yet 🙏 But Practice Makes Perfect

Forgive me, I’m not great with backgrounds quite yet 🙏 but practice makes perfect

Relativity Falls is the “swankiest” au ever. I’m in love with it. I like playing with the idea of the sibling brothers being there in place of Gideon.

They use a magic magnifying glass to help them solve mysteries (they have a magnifying glass in Lost Legends so I slapped some magic on it). I call it...

The Magicfying Glass

It will show the user the clues or item they are looking for. Example, if they were looking for the weapon, looking through the glass would make it appear to glow. Like that triangle thingy in coraline. Stanford meets them during an alternate version of Head Hunters. They show up at the crime scene and Blubs and Durland insist that the Sibling Brothers are the better mystery solvers. Stanley and Stanford take that personally. Mostly Stanford. How dare they insult his detective skills?

(Btw this is just me trying to shorten what happens as much as possible with some dialogue in between, it’s not a fic. I don’t write like this I swear 😭, maybe I’ll write an actual one later)

So basically Stanford and Stanley split up during their investigation in town and Stanford runs into the Siblings and they see that Ford has one of the Journals. They instantly use flattery to gain Ford’s trust. Ford is mostly excited because he thinks they want to be his friends. They tell Stanford that the three of them can become the town’s greatest mystery team and they’ll share the credit of solving the murder of Wax Mabel.

“The three of us? What about Stanley?”

“Eh- yes, yes. Him, too. Whatever.”

“With your fascinating journal, our detective skills, and Stanley’s....Well, there won’t be a single mystery we can’t solve!”

He wishes they hadn’t seen the journal but it seemed like it was working in his favor, so what’s the harm in sharing with two fellow mystery lovers? Ford excitedly tells his twin about the alliance when they meet back up. However, Stanley is suspicious of them because just a few hours ago, they were being pretentious jerks and suddenly they’re all buddy-buddy with Ford. He tells Stanford about his suspicions in overly-confident Stanley fashion, but Stanford’s insecurity about his difficulty making friends creates a barrier. He accuses Stanley of being jealous. Which...is partly true, but THATS NOT THE POINT.

The Sibling Brothers secretly plan to steal Stanford’s Journal and use its’ secrets to solve the murder because the magicfying glass only takes them so far. The two brothers plan to take all the credit once they crack the case because they’re jerks. Who knows what other amazing things they can do with TWO of the authors Journals?

Stanley swears the Sibling brothers are up to something. He also notices how closely they hold on to that magicfying glass. They refuse to even let Ford use it. As a petty revenge scheme, Stanley steals it from them and replaces it with Stanford’s. He takes a peek through it and triumphantly tells Stanford that he KNEW that the Sibling Brothers weren’t being honest. Stanford scolds Stanley for stealing from their new friends.

“Eh...YOUR new friends. I dunno what they’re sayin most of the time.”

They follow the glass back to the wax room. *insert wax fight with stupid puns*

The Sibling jerks run back to the Shack when they realize their magicfying glass was replaced by a knock-off and are also surprised when they see the mess of wax, as well as Stanford proudly telling them that he and Stanley solved the case.

“Your stupid brother stole our magicfying glass! This one is just a fake that has “Suckers!” written in marker where the runes should be!”

Stanford tries to ease the situation, saying they can still all share credit and that the magicfying glass is actually a very useful tool! Out of frustration, they reveal the truth about their selfish plans, Stanford is shocked and hurt. Stanley is relieved that his anger was justified and now it’s even more justified and he’s even angrier.

“Give us the glass or we’ll tell EVERYONE that you did the murder! It’s our word against yours and they’ll never believe a six-fingered weirdo and your trouble making twin!”

Stanford holds Stanley back and contemplates giving it to them, but decides that throwing it in the fireplace would be much more satisfying. He’s not above sweet revenge.

“Stanley and I are used to being targets, destroying a wax figure isn’t even the worst thing we’ve ever been blamed for! So, go ahead! You’re both helpless without the magicfying glass! The wax murder will be the last case you two jerks will ever solve!”

Stanley is tearing up, he’s so proud. The Sibling Brothers shriek as the magicfying glass burns and vow to get revenge on the Pines twins. The buzz about the twins being wax murderers doesn’t last long. Turns out no one except Grauntie Mabel cared very much about the murder. Stanford apologizes to Stanley for lashing out at him, but Stanley admits he could have been less of a jerk about it. He gives Stanford something wrapped in paper and Stanford opens it to reveal the Magicfying glass, it’s burned around the edges and there is a small crack in the glass, but Stanley promises he tested it and that it’s Stanley Pines Approved.

Bonus:

Yay or nah?
