Summary
"More or less. More frills than you're imagining. And he ain't all he's cracked up to be. Still. God. So until you're up against judgment, I don't wanna hear your sass.”
Was that how he was justifying it to himself? “Mhm. But you weren't defeated by God.”
Bill gave him a sharp side eye. “I sure wouldn't be here if it weren't for him.”
“Where would you be?” Ford crossed his arms on the countertop and leaned in.
“Eh. Who's to say.” Bill scratched at the edge of his scar. He kept his tone casual, but he was avoiding eye contact.
"I think you'd be dead, Bill.”
"That's your opinion.”
“I think you'd be dead, because my family killed you.”
OR: Ford gets a call from the Theraprism. With his family's hesitant support, he attends (and wins) visitation.

Summary
The kids fall through the portal, and Stanley chases after them. He will not lose them the way he lost his brother.
Refusing to repeat the mistake of 30 years ago, the family becomes stranded in the multiverse, stuck without a clear path home. Stan's got his brother back, at least, but Stanford isn't the same as Stan remembers. Looks the same, sure, talks the same, absolutely - but he's got a 'professional working relationship' with Bill Cipher that Stan'd really rather not interrogate, and seems to have changed his whole vibe from Virgin Loser, to Space Cowboy Wizard; Which isn't all that different, now that Stan thinks about it.
Stan and Ford must now find a way to kill Bill, get the family back to Earth, and try to keep the ghosts of their past from tearing them apart. Again. Same boat, different planks, and neither one can deal with their own reflection in the water.
Well, whatever. They can handle this.

Summary
Stanford has a multitude of eyes now, more than two, (too many, Bill scoffs, and refuses to admit he’s jealous) and if he still thought like he used to, he wouldn’t be able to explain the strange sensation of looking at the world from multiple angles, from multiple dimensions, things past and future melding together with the tattered reality seamlessly – but if he tried, he’d probably refer his listeners to how watching the Bosch triptych made them feel.

A One of Us AU. Sort of. Yeah. Stanford is going to have to come to grips with some things.Bookmarked by falling_in_ruin

Summary
The entire point of an eldritch being is its inherent inability to be understood and trying to apply human traits to such an incomprehensible monstrosity is a futile effort. But that won't stop me from trying!!
A Journal Entry in which Ford documents Bill's attempt at a more humanoid form... Or tries to. This is my take on a "Human" Bill design, as a writer.

Summary
His gaze drifts up to Bill but the demon is still staring, almost unseeingly, at the board between them. Ford looks back at the board again, surveying Bill's move. He missed his chance to block. “What's this, then?” he asks, fingers dusting over a piece. “Right now?”
Ford doesn't look up at Bill. Bill doesn't look up at Ford. “A game of chess,” comes the deflated response. “I think.”
