"Marie Antoinette's Watch is a wonderful book." - William Gibson, author of Neuromancer. Across continents and into and out of the hands of royalty, revolutionaries, smugglers, thieves, and the world's greatest tech engineers, was Marie Antoinette's watch, the "160," worth an estimated $40 million in today's dollars. Perhaps the most sought after personal technology device of the last 200 years, the timepiece, designed by the legendary Abraham-Louis Breguet, is the launching point for a thrilling and fluidly woven set of narratives that are, in part, forbidden love story, historical document, and police procedural. Marie Antoinette's Watch also deftly lays out the history of horology and the 18th Century engineering feats attained in Paris's answer to Silicon Valley, the Île de la Cité, that made the watch the most intricate and prized personal device of its time - something that's come full circle today. In the hands of form Techcrunch's and Gizmodo editor, John Biggs, Marie Antoinette's Watch is by turns edifying and lurid, historical and utterly modern. Culminating in a heist in a Tel Aviv antiquities museum in the 1980s, Biggs tells the story of how one object can transform countries, cultures, high technology, and time itself.

Murders in Gravity Falls peak the interest of the young self-proclaimed detective and paranormal investigator Dipper Pines, but with further inspection, he learns maybe he should have stayed out of it. Human!BillDip. In this fanfic, Bill hadn't been introduced yet, and he only appears in human form. These Fic is based off the song "Horror Of Our Love" by Ludo. I felt like it was potential for a great story, wether or not you know the true meaning of the song itself.
