FRANKENSTAN AU but it’s a 1930s film poster

[ravmycupine]

Ford's in alternate universes VS Stan's in alternate universes

Just something I've noticed in GF au's and how different the Stan twins are treated... . . . . Credits under the cut

Mr. Bill Pines AU - @honeqq Static Ford - @void-dude Euclydia Rises/ MM Ford - @orxinus Frankenstan - @leo-artista

If I got any credits wrong please lmk huhu

The body remains where he'd left it. Like a puppet with cut strings, limbs jutting out unnaturally. Stan's head is hanging low, his chin touching his chest.  The arrow in his throat half mashed against his face.  Stanford swallows painfully, and lowers himself to the ground next to the armchair.  He slumps against it, and slowly, so slowly, reaches up and clutches at the fabric of his brother's pant leg, the closest in reach. Stanford holds on to it quietly, like a child clinging for comfort. Comfort Stanford doesn’t deserve.  He'd murdered his brother.

Frankenstan au in the 'Came back Wrong' trope, but it's just Ford not being able to understand the changes Stanley went through in the 10 years they spent apart. Why isn't his brother happy and carefree and confident? Why is his twin easily starled and defensive and scared? Ford is certain he did something wrong when bringing him back and that's why Stanley is so different.

Meanwhile, Stanley is shocked Ford went through the trouble of bringing him back; half glad, half disappointed. Glad, because well. His brother still cares. Disappointed because... he wasn’t all that mad about being dead. He feels like he's on borrowed time, and just goes allong with whatever Ford wants since he doesn’t exactly have anything else going on for himself. He is alive, but he wonders if he'll ever be living. But, by that logic, he's been dead for far longer than a few weeks.

Both have to navigate their own feelings of inadequacy to be able to connect and finally understand each other again.

<-part 1

Sorry for the crappy quality i have

₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁pinkeye₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁

So i have no idea how this looks...

[bubblecupstuff]

Undead stan... ive seen a couple fics for them and i think the idea needs more attention

Like, sort of zombie mostly just. Immortal.

Stan accidently kills a guy/ witnesses a dude dying and gets caught up in it (whether trying to help or just is unfortunately in the direct area). Hes all, "oh no, this guy is dead. I am holding this dead guy, maybe even moving him so i can hide the body--" when BAM! Dead guy is not dead, and is wiggling around in his arms while stan screams.

Dont know how he gets infected, maybe the guy bites him in a fit of freshly revived nonclarity, maybe their blood mixes, maybe the guy is pissed at being killed and curses/"blesses" stan for either killing/attempting to help him. Idk.

Point is, stan cant die! Well, he can, but he comes back.

This goes surprisingly unnoticed by the people around him. The environments stan finds himself in dont breed a lot of concern for those dropping dead, enough so that people dont even notice his corpse long enough for him to revive, his body is actively hidden and left behind so it doesnt have attention brought to it, he is alone the whole time, or any witnesses get written off as drug addicts or insane.

This provides a few issues with his internal worth as a person, but overall, convienant to avoid being dissected in a lab or repeat murderers!

However.... you can only die so many times before it gets noticed.

NOW! i have two ways this could go.

Option one: it actually takes a while to revive, working from the inside out. Waking up and breathing is the step right before healing external injuries. This makes it hard to tell the dead guy is alive until hes wiggling around on your morgue slab. That, and maybe it takes a little longer after every death (seriously stanley, you die, like, a lot) to come back.

So, stan is FINALLY found as a john doe and brought to a hospital and then to a morgue. He stays dead long enough for fords number to be found on him and then called and then ford to come to identify him. Long enough for ford to come back at midnight with plans to steal a body. Long enough for ford to start sliding the body off the table, but NOT long enough to make it to the door.

Stan wakes up, starts wiggling and gargling in post- unmortemdem, and ford starts screaming and dropping him and looking for a weapon because ohhhhh my god thats a zombie, stan is a zombie, holy crap.

For funsies maybe ford stabs him to death in a panic and then immediately regrets it because damn, stan is dead again. Starts to steal him again and hopefully find an anti zombie charm at some point, the whole thing happens again on the drive home and stan manages to explain before being killed again.

Option 2: stan goes up to meet ford, postcard in hand, and-- youll never guess-- fords crossbow introduction ends with a bolt sticking through someplace vital in stans anatomy.

Ford starts screaming, apologizing, trying to stop the bleeding. Ford tries putting pressure on the wound, he tries to stem the bloodflow, he tries cpr for the life of him. He has a full breakdown, he tries so hard but stan chokes and gasps and bleeds and dies.

Its useless.

He sits in the snow, starting to have a full mental break as he starts crying to his brothers corpse all the things he needs to and would never say, its all very tragic and sad, and we know how it goes by now.

Stan wakes up mid soliloquy and scares the shit out of ford, yelling about the injustice of being murdered literally right when they see each other for the first time in a decade, while ford starts wailing all over again from relief.

Either way, frankenstan is rudely interrupted by stan just solving the issue himself. By being undead.

Uhhhh, where to go from here.... im not sure... yet.

[anotherspookyarchivist]

I love a good Frankenstan story, but I keep thinking about Victor looking at his creation and seeing those yellow eyes and then abandoning the creature.

Ford being so happy that he did it, only to draw back in fear. Unable to trust his own work, because how could he? And Stanley having no idea why? Just aware that something about him is wrong, but he had felt fine. Why... why would Ford? Unless... Unless his brother regrets bringing him back?

[hoarder-of-dragons]

What we (or atleast I) keep forgetting about the Frankenstan AU is that, Ford taking care of the dead body. No, not the stitching or the temperature regulation but imagine tenderly scrubbing the grime of his skin, washing his hair, do you think he combs it and remembers how he used to look like and he is so tempted to "form" the person in front of him to the kid he remembers from his past and discovering his scars?

Meanwhile Ghost Stan can't make himself look at Ford taking care of his body like a hospital patient he should just die he did die why can't he leave why won't he die he is useless much less deserving of this care
