Hello! I know it’s been like a decade and you’re probably not interested in continuing the fic anymore, but is there any summary of how your Gravity Falls Wonderland AU fic was supposed to end? I was recently reading it on Ao3 and I am so stoked about the story and so so intrigued about the end of chapter 7! I really want to know what happened with Wendy! Anyways, hope you’re having a great day! Tootles!
God, it really has been a hot min hasn't it? Well, I know it was answered at one point but I can rehash what I had planned for the ending of Wonderland, but first Wendy.
I thought i had made it clear in the writing, but it's also been a long time since I read my old work so maybe it wasn't: Wendy is dead. Bill killed her and her boyfriend (his name escapes me atm lol) by burying them alive, lol.
As for the ending, I don't fully remember all my plot points, but I remember eventually Dipper finding out that Bill wasn't who he seemed and finding out that there was an entire cult in town dedicated to Bill. Mind you, I was writing this before season 2 aired so I had ideas and plot points that were completely AU from the actual GF series. Something like Grunkle Stan was actually named Stanford Pines and his brother that was missing was Stanley instead of Grunkle Ford. Something about them living in GF and ppl going missing all the time? idk, I was on a small town mystery binge I guess, lol.
But yeah, Dipper is so hurt and upset, that he ends up throwing journal 3 into the fire, completely ruining it to Grunkle Stan's horror. He tries to save it, bc he needs it to find Stanley or something, but its unusable.
Dipper is so upset he refuses to stay in GF anymore. Mabel tries to convince him to stay, but Stan, upset and listless, sends them home with barely a goodbye, much to Mabel's upset.
Years later, Mabel and Dipper are adults and go back to GF to attend Stan's funeral. As part of the theme/mentioned in the fic at one point, Mabel has forgotten all about the weirdness of GF and thinks of anything that happened there was just imagination or something.
After the funeral, Mabel plans on leaving, but Dipper decides to stay in the Mystery Shack since Stan left it for both of them and Mabel wants nothing to do with it. Mabel tries to convince Dipper to leave with her back to Cali, but Dipper stays.
Later, Bill shows up at the shop, and the two of them talk and Dipper falls right back into Bill's web once again, willing walking into his arms, just like Bill knew he would. Dipper ends up joining the cult and being Bill's right hand man and never leaves GF ever again.
But yeah, that's how it was supposed to end! Not really a happy ending, but an ending. Bill got what he wanted, but you never truly know what that was in the end (or at least, I don't remember what I had planned, if anything.)
Some more rambling under the cut:
