Not Alone by cha-mander on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

This was it, this is what he's been dedicated to finding for the past few months. The strange supernatural creature whose victims' corpses had been left scattered throughout the entire forest. All were small animals, all were decapitated, and all were drained of their blood completely. With this information in mind, he doesn't know why he thought it was a good idea to actually hunt the thing down, and he doesn't know what to do. When their eyes meet, Ford's heart stops.

so yes, hello! this is pretty random, i know, but it's an AU ive actually been planning for awhile. In this, Bill has always had a physical, human form, and for every decade ages a year. Ford finds him at the same time as in the show (but like this, not by summoning him) when Bill is age 7 (70 in human years), and takes it upon himself to take care of him while observing/researching his species; Bill is practically Ford's son by the time Dipper arrives.
that's right, dipper, not dipper and mabel, but dipper.
another part of this AU is that the twins never happened (not Stanley, not mabel). This leaves dipper to be his same curious self, but much more timid than in the show. Ford, before dipper arrives, is left wanting someone who he can share his love of mystery with, since he never had someone growing up, therefore leaving him much less hesitant to take in a demon as part of his family. Ford never gets trapped in the portal, but does have to deal with raising a demon, so he might as well have. When Dipper arrives (at the same he had in the show), Bill is naturally jealous to say the least, and that's what a majority of the story is centered around.
ive decided to call this Only Child (AU?) because of obvious reasons

So i know most people wont be very interested in this, but with the sad finale (because this AU will still have the oddpocalypse), i felt a need to throw this out there. Maybe ill turn it into a fic, or maybe i'll just base some fanart on it, idk
sorry for rambling on, and i hope you let me know what you think! ^-^
