    Summary

    “So, I was thinking about why I’ve been throwing up. I think some of it is the actual, physical properties of the taumoeba, but I honestly think half the battle is the taste. See, humans use smell and taste to tell us if food is going to make us sick, like it’s moldy or smells weird, that sends a signal for disgust to our brains to stop us from eating it, and that triggers nausea.”

    “I feel this way about all human food,” I say, and Grace rolls its eyes.

    “Sure. But I think my brain is being overprotective about the taumoeba. It’s the same reason why human kids get picky or people throw up during pregnancy, even when the food they’re eating is perfectly edible. My brain is signalling to me that I shouldn’t want it in my body, mostly because -- well, I don’t. It smells like mildew and algae and has the texture of chia seed pudding that was forgotten at the back of a fridge. But that’s making me nauseous when I even think about putting it in my mouth, which makes me more likely to throw up.”

    “But how would you eat without using your mouth?” I ask.

    Grace grins at me. “That, my friend, is exactly the question I’ve been asking myself. And I think the answer might be something called a nasogastric tube."

    Summary

    "We found him in the woods!" Mabel says cheerfully. "Dipper thought he was you for a moment, but then he -"

    His hair is a shock of gray, his glasses cracked. He's wearing a rumpled combination of tattered trench coat and red sweater that looks entirely ridiculous in an Oregon summer. He's looking at Stan with a look of distant confusion that makes him look, for one strange moment, like an overgrown owl.

    Stan can't breathe.

    "Ford?"

    [Written for Stanuary Week 1: Con

    Alternatively: Stan's best con has always been fooling other people into thinking he was someone actually worthwhile.]

    Summary

    Stanley Pines wakes up on Monday morning, squinting his eyes in the sunlight streaming through the motel room blinds, and decides he's going to kill himself.

    It doesn’t stick.

    Summary

    “Do you really care about me?”

    Ford goes entirely still, turning his head towards Stan and staring at him with wide eyes.
    His brother remains in the same position, as if he never spoke at all, and his eyes do not give away even an ounce of his emotion.
    Stan takes a deep breath and Ford begins holding his.

    “Or did I finally prove my worth to you?”

    (or: Stan is a hero. He wonders if that's the only reason Ford suddenly wants to be his brother again.)

    Summary

    Happy endings are messy, and the Arctic winter is more difficult than either Stan or Ford want to admit.
