Curate, connect, and discover
GUYS. GUYS. I just had a terrible but wonderfully angsty AU concept come to me.
A Frankenstan AU except its ALSO Frankenford. Bill somehow does end up killing Ford, maybe by throwing him off of the roof of his house or something- that part doesn't really matter. Ford just has to die. BUT since Bill can possess dead bodies, he keeps using Ford's to build the portal. Ford's ghost somehow gets a postcard to Stan, but when he shows up, Bill is there with a crossbow. Now both Pines twins are dead and no one knows about it except them.
So now the Stans have to go through their own deaths while also mourning for each other AND have an awkward reunion AS GHOSTS. Maybe they find a way to get Fiddleford to bring them back to life or at least get Bill out of Ford's corpse, then break the portal.
Does any of this make sense or am I rambling
