(Because my other version of this au is an ew) [Started January 10th 2019] Dipper was never known as Mabel's brother. He was never known as the son of Amy and James Pines. He was never a Pines. No, he was always a Cipher. He was never Dipper, he was Alcor. He was never human, he was a demon. Forever and always, he was the son of Bill Cipher. Bill Cipher; his father. His idol. The only family he truly needed. And yet, mortals always had to destroy that. But... wasn't he a moral too? . . . Alcor can't seem to do the one thing a dream demon is supposed to do; and it seems like the disappointment of everyone watching him is weighing him down. He knows he can do it; he knows. But a deep feeling in his chest that can't seem to go away is making him hesitate. Bill isn't acting the same after his years-long encounter with Stanford. Something is different in the dream demon; something steely and cold and tense, unlike the warm and mischievous and admittedly chaotic demon Alcor had always known. Will wants to finally get involved with his family after so many centuries of silence. As much as he's controllably nervous, he knows he can let his guard down around his family. Though, his brother's behavior is rising his suspicions, and his concern for both his brother and his offspring is only growing. But behind the scenes, the consequences of his decisions were seen a little too late. Alcor learns that humans are a little stronger than he had expected, and he'd be damned if he ever let them tear apart his family.
