False Prophet au:
It's a Greek mythology AU where instead of the strange and anomalies, Stanford is a Greek mythology history and mythos nerd who moves to Greece to study the gods closely, and Bill is a stand-in for Apollo (he said he's his sun, his everything), Stanford is captivated and gets dreams of the god reaching out to him, becoming Bill's prophet. However, Bill lies about everything (tee hee) and is more of a mischievous deity, wanting to release some of his other friends from Tartarus, using Stanford to try and accomplish this under the guise of a prophecy he has to fulfill since it's his fate. This scenario definitely involves some religious trauma from moving from being Jewish to Hellenistic, as Fiddleford helps Ford find prophetic relics and ruins to help him fulfill his 'fate' by being a architect instead of an engineer. They still get into trouble with monsters, but now they're facing Greek mythos creatures like sirens, centaurs, and furies. Instead of the gremoblin, Fidds gets partially petrified by a Medusa perhaps, and Ford has to find a cure, which makes him more paranoid and worried. Instead of the memory gun, Ford finds his own deity to forget the things plaguing him, leading to cult time. Maybe pyramid Steve acts as a sort of Hypnos placeholder, making Fidds have wonderful dreams where he gets everything he wants, allowing him to weave his own tale while snipping away at his memories, as equivalent exchange after all suggests. In this AU, he'd essentially act like a narcoleptic insane hermit, experiencing brief phases of mental clarity when awake. Instead of the Society of the Blind Eye, there's the Society of the Closed Eye, symbolizing sleep and closing oneβs eye to reality and truth, with the motto: "After all, why be awake when you can have everything you want in a dream?" People donβt know about the memory trading part, of course; they just feel 'lighter' and see it as spiritual relief. There could be a subplot where he forgets his wife and son after being involved for a bit, leading to a breakdown when he sees his dream journal with notes about his perfect marriage in dreams, but of course, one nap later, that's mysteriously goneβcan't have your most devoted follower question his faith after all. Ford remains oblivious to all of this, like the socially blind man he is, assuming his friend is just lazy. Steve and Bill are rivals as deities, with Steve sending 'prophetic' dreams to Fidds to contradict whatever mission Ford is given, adding to the drama. This might all take place in the late 1970s and 1981, but I might date it back if needed. Bill is a Titan masquerading as a God, and the rest of the henchmaniacs are Titans too.
