Wow, so many feels... Good job!

Awwww! Crazy bittersweet, I loved it!

Fantastically written

This is super dark, so I can't actually tell you why this entire idea appeals to me. There needs to be more of this in the fandom though.

Additionally I appreciate informed!Stan, try to protect the twins, it gives a whole meloncholy dimension to the entire thing. As the series goes on, it does seem like there are no plans being made for the kids to go back, which yes- hoping for a long series means less timescale, and that lends credence to the theory that the twins are at the mystery shack to stay.

Very interesting story. Sad and dark, but in a good way. Well done.

This story really balanced out the dark and the heart-felt nicely. All of the characters here also had great small moments between them, such as with the kids each arriving at the "Mystery Shack." The backstory you also gave Dipper, Mabel, and Stan was really intriguing; and while the show seems to now be taking a different path away from this idea, if the show 's writers were ever able to fit this into the show somehow I would be entirely grateful.

Utterly adorable.

This is truly one of the most well thought-out stories I've read in the GF fandom to date. Words cannot describe how much I love this. The basis behind it is wonderful, and you managed to capture Stan's voice perfectly all the way through.

It's very in-character to me, yet has a deeper, more underlying theme to it that not very many authors can capture. This was a piece of gold.

I feel for the man here.

Usually not a big fan of one shots... But this was AWESOME!

Love this idea! :D

Wow. What a neat idea.

This is a lovely idea and neatly written. You captured the cynical voice of an old man in a way that was very believable- I particularly loved things like the line that Soos gives Stan hope for himself and comments that Stan isn't exaclty an honest man. I also loved how Mabel and Dipper's gifts are commented to suit them and the idea of them as reality warpers and magic users is extremely cool.

You have a few spelling errors and run-on sentences, but this was still quite enjoyable overall. Nice job!

Marvelous! I must say, you've done an excellent job of speculating on Stan's motives, and have transformed him into a much more sympathetic character. You should also be commended for capturing his voice so well throughout. I find the narrative voice of this piece very convincing as a cynical old man's internal monologue. As for the story's content itself, I also strongly approve of your darker twist, and feel that you have tied it into the larger Gravity Falls mythology very well. The idea of portraying the twins as burgeoning magic users and oblivious reality-warpers is truly inspired.

The story does have a few minor flaws, though. You'd have done well to put this thing through a spell-check first. There are numerous instances of stilted grammar, spelling errors, and incorrect word choice throughout the piece. You also seem to favor run-on sentences. In particular, right around the middle of the story I was having trouble keeping track of what you were trying to say. I had to re-read that section a few times to gather that, yes, it was the twins' parents that were dead and visiting Stan in his dreams.

Nevertheless, this story's built on a rock-solid idea, fits the show very well, and beautifully captures Stan's narrative voice. With a bit of spit and polish, it could be perfect.

Really deep stuff.

I kinda don't understand this so they are dead or they have super powers I don't know anyways great story

Wonderfully written
