New AU idea because Iām obsessed
Instead of wanting to sail the ocean, Stan and Ford wanted to become mountain climbers and climb Mount Celeste together, due to the weird rumors about it
Years later, the whole events of Stan getting kicked out and Ford going to Backupsmore are the same, but a few years after graduation when he hits a roadblock in his investigation of Gravity Falls, Ford decides to climb the mountain with Fiddleford (Theo) instead, who doesnāt really want to do the climb, but is more here to make sure Ford doesnāt get himself killed
However, the mountain brings to life another part of Ford that doesnāt quite look like him, and at first he thinks itās just his insecure side getting a little louder.
But itās actually his guilt for not reaching out to Stan for years, the mountain trying to remind him he promised to do this climb with someone else, and the āother partā of Ford looks so different because itās what Stan currently looks like.
The mirror temple is full of statues of teen Stan, the last time Ford ever saw him. They all turn their heads to stare directly at Ford as he walks by, and when Ford gets sucked into the mirror and into the reverse of the temple, the statues come to life to try and keep him trapped there.
When getting out of the mirror temple, Ford tries to let go of this guilt he has, but ends up falling down the mountain and into a cave where he has to come to terms thatā¦ he misses his brother.
Once he climbs out of the cave, Ford immediately calls the last known number he saw on one of Stanās commercials to apologize and admits to wanting to reconcile.
Turns out, Stan is not too far away from the mountain, and winds up showing up to do the climb with Ford
Itās not smooth at first, but eventually, they get back into how they used to be as kids, and eventually make it up the mountain.
And then they spend all day talking and catching up at the summit.
