The Waterfall is rated PG-13, for alcohol, language, outdated terms, and suggestive content.
Patty Newman and her wife Tess are cleaning out her late grandfather's house in 2023, when Patty finds a note from him written on the back of a picture, in which he reveals himself as bisexual. He tells her the location of a diary where she learns about how her grandfather, Murray, had a secret relationship with his best friend Fred in 1950s Oregon. After this revelation, the plot switches back and forth between 2023, where Patty and Tess are searching for more information, and the 1950s, where Fred and Murray navigate being in a very secretive male-male relationship during the age of McCarthyism.
Based on the Reedsy Prompt "Start your story with someone discovering a photograph that has something written on the back," from the July 23rd, 2021 contest.

He held your face with his hand as you leaned into his touch, and you desperately clung to him. He's used to people being devoted to him... But he's completely devoted to you. "I would let the world burn for you, sweetheart." ~ Gravity Falls was a town you have always wanted to revisit. It's the summer before college; you want a summer experience that could be filled with adventure and excitement. Gravity Falls, Oregon, was the perfect place. You wonder if there are any more mysteries and secrets to reveal. There was a secret that your father was hiding from you but on your own... You can't seem to get to the bottom of it. Little did you know that you would accidentally come across the biggest mystery the town offers, and with that, you would gain some help in uncovering this secret. And with that, will this mystery you accidentally uncovered change your life, too? ~ - In this story, (y/n) is female! - I do not own Gravity Falls or its characters. - This story will contain the new lore that has been revealed in the Book of Bill and the new Website! So, if you are interested in seeing my interpretation of all that, feel free to share, vote, and comment. - This story will have darker themes and scenes since I write this in mind for people who have grown up with Gravity Falls. So read this with an open mind :) - There will be future smut in some chapters, if you are not comfortable reading stuff like this, I suggest skipping those chapters when they present themselves. ~ Started: July 31. 2024 Ended: Still Ongoing
