I really adored @softersynths Stanpiper AU and loved all the cool interpretations people had of Lil!Stanpiper encountering Ford (Here are some of the cool fics folks wrote! >1, 2, 3, 4)

Though it did make me wonder if Lil!Stan would know that the Ford he meets isn't "his" Ford or even understand dimensional travel in the first place.

And thus this idea came about, where after Stanley gets returned to his own dimension he tells Ford about getting kidnapped and taken to the 'future' where there are giant monsters everywhere-but it was fine because future him (who was also a giant) saved him and helped him get back to the past!

been thinking about the lil time jump in tots where stan got the chance to put his beanie away and dump his bag somewhere while ford refuses to tell him anything until stan sees the portal

especially when getting to the portal involves a long awkward elevator ride and going through the rest of the lab to get to the portal room

but also stan managing to see and memorise ford's code to the elevator during that said awkward walk... (which the kids and soos only got because j3 has it on one of ford's last pages)

+ stan's hope for their reunion crumbling as they slowly make their way to the hell basement

it also kills me that stan likely had other clothes in his duffle bag but after the portal incident he wore the same clothes for weeks because he was too depressed to bother and only roughly patched up his jacket so people wouldn't see his brand when he's forced to go outside or starve....

it does make me wonder about an au where stan was more of a hermit and never figured out the mystery shack because the townsfolk were less pushy and susan never brought up the idea of tours, meaning stan wouldn't have that reaon to mask all the time but also missing that sense of success/joy in his life.....

Mostacho. (🔞↓)

I wanted to talk to you about an idea that's been stuck in my head. I often see vampire Ford in fics, but I don't see Stan. If there are any stories like that out there, I'd be grateful if you could share them :зс

But anyway. I'll tell you about my idea, ehehehe. Mullet!Stan ends up in Gravity Falls not because Ford asked him to. He comes there to hide from pursuers, and GF seems like a pretty good option for him, since GF is hard to find anyway, eheh. But there he gets infected with vampirism from some bat or some ghoul living there... In the end, he becomes a vampire and experiences all the "joys" of this "disease." Even though Stan thinks "what the hell is this?", he still tries to find the positives in it, since now he doesn't starve as badly as he used to. Even though he sometimes has to drink animal blood, he still ends up trying human once. Overall, hunger doesn't torment him that much in the long run.

And then Ford comes to GF and starts studying the anomalies. Stan senses him. He senses a sweet scent he's never felt before and heads toward it. Of course, it turns out to be Ford. And Stan just goes crazy. He becomes so hungry. He literally wants to devour Ford, so much so that he's shaking and drooling nonstop. But Stan doesn't know it's Ford. So he just attacks him and comes to his senses when he realizes who's beneath him. Ford is confused and tries to defend himself. He hits Stan over the head with something heavy and ultimately doesn't know what to do except tie Stanley up and finally figure out what's going on here.

In the end, Stanley becomes Ford's object of study. Ford studies vampirism through Stan. Stan, in turn really really wants to taste Ford.

Later on, it turns out that Stan only feels such intense thirst for Ford because he's in love with him. The end :) I want to say thank you again for your work. I also like your twi. It's so inspiring

Hi! I'm sorry for just responding--I didn't get any asks notifications! Thank you for liking my work and my writing, I'm happy you loved it <3 you're so sweet.

It's rare to see any vampire Stan. I've never seen any in fics, actually. But I've definitely seen some fanart of Ford and Stan being vampires together! I don't know any vampire Stan fics, but if I do see one lying around, I'll post about it so you can see♡

I've never really thought of vampire Stan, until you said it, anon. I loveee your idea. I can't help but write a little bit more about it here!

Stan couldn't remember what bit him exactly, but he was suddenly wandering the forest and thinking of hunting. His strength and senses were heightened.

He was snatching rabbits with his bare hands and sinking his teeth into them. Drinking their blood. Stan rumbled at the taste. Wanting more. Weird, he knew this. Should maybe panic or something, and get help--but Stan couldn't give much of a shit. He felt less hungry.

For the next few months he did the same thing when he was hungry--but thank fuck he could still eat human food.

But once, someone was walking nearby and Stan couldn't help but pounce on her and bite into her neck when he first smelled her. Stan moaned at the taste. Better than a rabbit, he thought. Or rodents. Stan tried not to drink blood from a person anymore. Shouldn't.

He sensed something sweet one evening--a smell, decadent and different. He could taste it in the back of his throat already. Stan prowled around for its source, eventually finding Ford. His brother who he hadn't seen in years. Stan didn't know what came over him when he jumped on Ford and started growling and drooling. He was shaking, staring into Ford's widened eyes, didn't understand why his chest felt like it was going to burst. His vision went black, then.

When you mentioned Stan being tied up afterward, I imagined Stan waking up tied to a chair, and immediately drooling over Ford's scent as he stood just inches away from him. Stan was snapping his jaw at him, eyeing Ford's neck, wanting to take a bite. Stan's lips were turning red from how much he kept biting them, trying to stop himself from attacking Ford and drinking his blood until there was nothing left of it.

Ford was fascinated. He was touching Stan all over, opening Stan's jaw wide with his fingers, prodding his molars and his fangs, and saw the way drool was pooling in Stan's mouth. "Impressive," Ford said, and kept touching him.

"How is this possible? Did you get bitten by the Giant Vampire Bats? Other beings? Tell me."

Stan wasn't answering him. His head was fuzzy, blots of darkness starting to appear in his vision. Starving. He wanted to drink Ford's blood. It was the only thing that could satiate his hunger. Ford's fingers were still in his mouth. He thought of biting them until blood spurted out.

His stomach growled. Ford heard it.

"Ah, my blood." A tiny smirk.

"If you're willing to let me study you, and behave well," Ford said, cupping his chin in his hand. "I'll let you drink from me as much as you want."

Blood. Drink.

Stan nodded rapidly. Ford's eyes gleamed, and Stan's heart thrummed louder.

Yes! I think it'll be cute when Stan eventually realizes his feelings for Ford (and maybe Ford would also develop feelings for Stan!) and that his intense thirst was because of his love for him. Ford keeps indulging Stan with his blood when Stan's behaving good.♡
