This is INCREDIBLE. WHAT.

THE CIPHER ARCHIVES!!! is this too niche

i feel like since the magnus archives and gravity falls both have a focus on monsters, uncovering mystery, the Eyepocalypse and deep interpersonal relationships, they would make a great crossover!

dipper is the archivist, attempting to organise the archives and investigate the mysterious "smirke's 13", catalogued by the tapes, journal and files left by the previous archivist, a man named stanford (i dont know how stanley plays into this crossover yet).

mabel is dipper's estranged twin, hired by Elias Bouchard (Bill Cipher) after she lied on her CV as an archival assistant, attempting to reconnect with her brother and pay the london rent. she takes on a role similar to martin (swapping out romantic love for familial obviously), and gets entangled in the lonely towards the end of the storyline.

Bill Cipher is the head of the Cipher Institute (taking on the role of Jonah Magnus), an immortal patron of the All-Seeing, All-Knowing Eye. He masquerades as a mortal by posessing the body of Elias Bouchard.

im yet to figure out which other characters from gravity falls are part of this AU, but i think soos will take tim's role and wendy will take sasha's. other characters like basira and melanie might stay the same. i thought robbie would make a good gerard, and instead of being immortalised in a creepy skin book, he lives on inside the cursed cd from that one episode

yeah i really love the idea this au and i hope that there is at least one other person out there that also appreciates this. gravity falls x the magnus archives goes hard
