I really adored @softersynths Stanpiper AU and loved all the cool interpretations people had of Lil!Stanpiper encountering Ford (Here are some of the cool fics folks wrote! >1, 2, 3, 4)
Though it did make me wonder if Lil!Stan would know that the Ford he meets isn't "his" Ford or even understand dimensional travel in the first place.
And thus this idea came about, where after Stanley gets returned to his own dimension he tells Ford about getting kidnapped and taken to the 'future' where there are giant monsters everywhere-but it was fine because future him (who was also a giant) saved him and helped him get back to the past!
And Ford doesn't take the news especially well...
#gravity falls#gravity falls au#stanley pines#stanford pines#stanpiper#Lil!stanpiper#young stan pines#young stanford pines#Stanley gained the fear that Ford won't need him anymore and can take care of himself fine without him#Thus Stan has to prove he'll always be by Fords side even if he gets as big as a city in the future and doesn't need protecting#While Ford getting inflicted with a new insecurity about turning into a GIANT freak- since having 6 fingers wasn't enough...#The miscommunication bros are fine- this event won't have any long lasting effects- I promise#knight's art#This took so long that you can see me changing art styles in how I draw the stan bros lol
