Pacifica and Wendy Pines' father never revealed much of his past to anyone. Never did the twins visit their grandparents, see any childhood pictures, or fall asleep to stories passed through their father's family like other children. The only piece they ever found was an old news article about a supposed toxic waste accident.
It seems out of place when during the summer, their father agrees to let them spend their summer vacation in his childhood hometown with their great uncle, whose mind is slowly going away, a college girl whose smile betrays secrets more than satisfaction, and an ex-prodigy child whose show mysteriously disappeared.
Though simple solutions are given to both Pacifica and Wendy, answers do not match and only lead to more questions. What does their Great Uncle Fiddleford do while locked in the basement of his tourist trap for hours? Does the local teenage star hide something behind his smiles made of pearl and deep red amulet? And why does there seem to be something watching them from the forest, waiting for them to move?
The past of Gravity Falls has a shadow cast over it, and the future seems to fall in broken bits, that test the wit and cunning of Pacifica and Wendy in a story of mystery, archives, magic, and golf cart racing.
[This is a Gravity Falls AU of my creating. While I do not own the original Gravity Falls, I do own the plotline and somewhat the characters of this book, so please do NOT plagiarize.
The wonderful cover and graphics have been crafted by the even more wonderful @ontheupsidedown , who you should definitely go follow, check out her stuff, and tell her she's the best.]
When Mabel Pines visits her great uncle Stanford, she's excited to meet an adult who will take her and her supernatural exploration seriously. After all, who better to believe her than a real supernatural researcher! She and her twin brother, Dipper, are more than ready to find magic in the Oregon forests around Ford's hometown.
So why won't Ford take them on adventures?
Determined, Mabel sets out to make her own discoveries - with or without her grumpy old uncle. When she finds a psychotic showgirl (with magical powers), a mysterious boy (also with magical powers), and a triangular demon (with probably the most perilous powers of all), Mabel realizes that Ford is right about at least one thing: In Gravity Rises, Oregon, you can find danger in the most unexpected places.
[SEASON ONE]
[This book is a paranormal fantasy that is also a fanfiction for Gravity Falls. However, it is in the fantasy genre because it is written to appeal to all fantasy fans, not just those who are familiar with Gravity Falls. The story is both self-contained and internally consistent.]
[This is the official story for the Gravity Rises AU. The original creator was Sorophora/nelauk, and it has since been adopted by me, Brightness Wings. I also made this cover myself using art by Sorophora. The plot and characters are mainly created by me, based on Gravity Falls and Sorophora's character designs/notes for Gravity Rises.]
