“since Rex deactivated his tumblr some time ago, he sent his old UF finale fic to me to post here, as he wanted his goodbye to UF to not be lost”
Consider this my farewell to Universe Falls. You don’t need to read it if you don’t want to, maybe this was mainly written for myself, but, well, I needed a way to say goodbye. Thank you, MiniJenn, for creating this fic that helped me through my teenage years. Thank you to everyone who made up its community. I will never forget you, any of you. I wish everyone luck, with every project they take on next.
Atop the roof of the Mystery Shack, Dipper Pines looked to the sky, studying its clouds and patterns, pondering all he had learned and feared throughout his latest summer. Things would be different, from now on, he could tell. He wasn’t sure how, but… he knew, deep down, his journey, finally, was at peace. After all the suffering, all the fighting, he was victorious. He could be happy. And….
Dipper looked to his left, where Stonemason, now in his own body, was also sharing his look of contentment. They’d been enemies, reluctant allies, and now… friends? Clones? Brothers? It was hard to describe the bond they had, but neither of them would give it up for the world.
Stonemason caught his glance, turning his head towards his counterpart, his serious gaze melting into a warm chuckle. “Thinking about how everything will be different from now on as well, are you?” he asked in that voice, the one where you could never tell if he was trying to put on a vaguely British accent to sound smarter, or if that was simply how he naturally ended up speaking.
“I think so,” Dipper admitted, looking at the ground before turning his gaze to the sky. “I think…. I think we’re done, I guess? Like, as in all the threats are… gone. So, I-I think--” “That we won?” Stonemason said, cutting him off, gazing up to the sky as well. “… After every struggle, thinking back on them,” Dipper added on, trying to process his thoughts, “… its just…. why do I remember the good, instead of the bad? Like, I, we, w-we suffered, you know that. We suffered, and were in pain, yet now….. now, after all of it, … I just think about the Summerweens, the movie nights, and training days, the--”
“For once in my life I don’t want to know why, Dipper,” Stonemason replied, cutting him off once more. “I can’t place it either, but I’m happy to have faced it all, the good and the bad, with you, and everyone else.”
Dipper smiled, pulling his brother into a hug, looking out to the sky with him. Stonemason smiled as well, watching as the night sky began to roll in. One chapter has closed, and yet…. “And whatever comes next, no matter what, we’ll face it together as well,” they both said together, allowing their fears and pain to melt away.
Goodbye Universe Falls, thank you for everything. If I ever need to check in, I know where to find your chapters, just west of wierd.
