Book 1 in a 3 Book series... Dipper and Mabel Pines are back in Gravity Falls for another summer. They may be sixteen, but the thrill of the mystery is still there! For the past few weeks, Dipper has gotten little to no sleep. Ever since returning to the Mystery Shack, his dreams have been tormented by a certain dream demon... One day, a stranger arrives at the door of the Mystery Shack. Yellow and brown hair, a triangular eyepatch over one eye, a grin on his smug face, the stranger lets out a laugh. "Long time no see, Pine Tree!" Having somehow been trapped in human form, Bill Cipher makes a deal with Dipper... Bill drives Dipper to the brink of insanity with his violent humor and overall aggravating personality, but there's something there making it impossible for Dipper to deny him help, and it isn't just the deal they made... A/N: The style of Human Bill in this story is Life-Writer's style! So...yeah! Just so you know, and so I don't have to try and describe him!

"As long as you're afraid I will fester..." the f in fester sent another downpour of saliva onto Henry who was still coughing out the remainder of the last drop. "..inside you, and like a parasite I will feed upon that fear until I make you become what you're afraid of most," It slowly lowered its head so its lips were as close to a quaking Henry's ear as possible, "and you will crumble." Henry Bowers was given a second chance at life, though he is as unaware of that fact as the one who gave it to him, but he feels..different, and he keeps having these horrible nightmares. A psychologist would call him traumatized. He would call himself stupid. Everything that once gave him a rush and a sense of meaning; his friends, the arcade, harassing his snivelling classmates, now just made him feel numb...that is..everything besides Bill Denbrough. (This is a Henry Bowers x Bill Denbrough fic though I promise it's not just going to be romance and there will be a lot of Loser's club content as well) Cover Art is by me!
