Gravity Falls fans have made a lot of stories throughout the years
that take place in alternate universes (AU).
@life-writer
Here's some of my favourite examples.
@sincerelyus
In Reverse Falls, all of the characters roles are switched.
@enidtendo64
Dipper and Mabel now run the tent of telepathy,
and Pacifica and Gideon are now the main protagonists.
@Elle_draws
Although Gideon and Pacifica are the protagonists of this AU,
Dipper and Mabel get all the spotlight.
@spoonyspine
It's a nice contrast to see them acting evil for a change.
I also love Dipper and Pacifica's relationship dynamic in this.
@year2000electronics
It completely changes.
And of course I have to talk about Will Cipher.
@supersuperaldy
This version of Bill has all of his powers,
but he's owned by the twins,
@cyotto
and in contrast to Bill Cipher,
he's very timid and sad.
@Reverse Falls
This one also got a visual
novel game based off of it,
but there's only one chapter out.
@employedhamster
Relativity Falls is probably
my favourite Gravity Falls
AU.
@kaledya_
This AU swaps the character ages,
so Stan and Ford go and
visit their Grauntie Mabel,
and just like in the real show,
they find out that
Grauntie Mabel has a twin
brother, Dipper.
@spinetrick
There are also a few other
characters who are age
swapped.
@onebadnoodle_
One of the issues that people had with this AU
Down the road was how
to portray Stan
impersonating Ford....with
Mabel and Dipper
@Bake_dpota0
I don't really care if it
clashes with the lore, I just
love Grauntie Mabel.
@korybing
Monster Falls is another
popular AU.
@terraph0bia
In this AU, Dipper trips
and falls into an
enchanted stream,
and the stream changes
him into a deer centaur.
@foresart
Grunkle Stan
"accidentally" bottles
up the water
and sells it to all of the
towns folk of Gravity Falls,
and everybody turns into
monsters.
@ikimaru
The monsters are supposed to relate to
everybody's personalities.
@xlynx0
The town's folk of Gravity
Falls obviously aren't very happy about this,
and so Dipper searches
for a cure.
@wet-monsoon
There are so many of these,
so please do let me know
your favourites!
