okay so this is the AU explanation (pls don't judge me😭) -ok so Dipper, Mabel, Candy, Grenda, etc are all 17 (like in almost all my fanfics💀) -Dipper plays electric guitar and drums (I'm cringe, I know, I'm sorry😭) -Candy is an artist and plays flute(bc she'd slay as one) -In this AU, Stan still owns the shack, Soos was just being a substitute for it while Stan was gone with Ford. -OBVIOUSLY Soos and Melody (that's her name right?) got married because they slay together--but there'll be like little hints on it bc this is mostly about candip (slay) -Mabel and Dipper somewhat have PTSD but they've been getting therapy so they're getting slightly better lol (that's why I said somewhat) ------------------------------------------ OKAY so now it's time for the story description or whtvr Dipper and Mabel are coming back to Gravity Falls for the Summer, as it became a tradition for them, even though sometimes it'd be terrible (PTSD reasons). Candy tried to get herself to stop liking Dipper because she didn't really want a relationship considering she was trying to focus on her artwork + practicing flute and she didn't think she had the time (even tho it's literally Summer, like, that's just sad-💀) but ofcourse, it isn't working. The more she tries to avoid him, the more she falls in love. Dipper was mostly trying to figure out his feelings and kept saying she's a friend (don't you DARE make a ladybug reference I hate that show👹) even though he knew he loved her. He just felt scared because he didn't wanna ruin their friendship. yes, I am trying to make the reader go insane (in a good way). Let's hope this story is actually good LMAOAOAOAOAOOAO--
