A redraw of my old art for @goodluckinjail‘s fic Two In A Million! I’ve improved a lot in a year, I’m so happy! The fic, however, is just as perfect and amazing as it was when I first read it. Give it a go, guys, I promise you will not be disappointed.

So, I don’t know about you, but when life decides to throw me a curve ball (or 10) one of my coping mechanisms is to fill any available free time I have (i.e. sleep time) with stories. It’s a way of stepping sideways into a place that isn’t the one where I have to be an adult and juggle all the shit. I’m not just talking novels, one of the biggest sources of reading material for me is fanfiction and I am constantly amazed and inspired by just how much talent is out there.

The past few years have been especially filled with curve balls and a variety of other projectile shit and in search of more worlds I discovered the Gravity Falls fandom and it’s incredible number of talented authors and artists - seriously, SO MUCH amazing stuff!

I’d like to get better at writing a comment (even if it’s tiny) on all the fics I’ve read and loved but I often find myself just hitting the kudos button or sending a quick message via tumblr if i’m on. It’s really not doing the authors justice though so I wanted to list a few of the writers with works on Archive of Our Own or tumblr that struck a particular cord with me and that I’d encourage you to check out.

Their stories are well-written, with strong character voices, intriguing narratives, and fun AUs. A couple of the authors even have ways you can donate (i.e. Patreon or ko-fi - for those, like me, who find they set up a Patreon and then circumstances changed -_-).

Empirate(Corvus Tempus) or museicbox - Providence series,

Larvira Rose or amaranthephemera - Distortions (all of the stories!)

BurnerAccount or tswwwit  - Raised Spirits, Familiar AU (all of the stories!),

Viperscreed - Taking Wing,

Aevintyri or  goodluckinjail - Two in a Million,

Lady Papillon or  lady-papillon-rose - Soft Spot series,

ab2fsycho - Shacking Up, The Last Six Years,

Justice Hawk or  thereinliesmyproblem - Cult Catastrophe, Don’t Touch my Nephew, Up for Grabs.
