Summary
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken objects of sentimental or monetary value, using a lacquer made of tree sap that's often dusted with gold. This strengthens and adds value to the object, as well as maintaining it's functionality. Kintsugi is a metaphor for healing and resilience. While the past cannot be rewritten and change is inevitable, the future is in our hands.

The Redemption and Subsequent Death of Bill Cipher by awritingotter

Summary
Things are complicated in Bill’s life as it is now that he’s in a human body on glorified house arrest while doing community service as the new handyman for the Mystery Shack, what he doesn’t need it a situationship-turned-maybe-just-ship with Ford Pines.
…maybe he shouldn’t seek it out either, but that’s besides the point. He’s got one goal and that’s to get back in his body, get his powers back, and far away from this rock.
So, when salvation comes in the form of a former fling spinning plans about how to get his revenge and eat it, too, Bill’s all too eager to listen. It’s not like he cares about these people, this place, or anything else here. He’s got plans, big plans, and there’s nothing that can stop him, not even these squishy, human emotions he’s starting to feel.

However, he is soon rigged into weekly therapy sessions with his ex-muse, wherein they must relive and process their past, in order to shape their future.

Stan and Ford are having fun ocean adventures when suddenly, Bill Cipher is back from Theraprism and needs Ford's help with something only he can do: Killing Bill Cipher.
Ocean madness combined with a weird god-thing you kind of want to kiss and punch at the same time sounds like a disaster. But a fun one.

Summary
Bill Cipher had never felt this way.
Feelings weren't a thing he indulged in.
Mortals were just toys for him to play with.
After all.
Predators don't get attached to their prey.
But now here he was.
Mortal through flesh and bone.
At the mercy of his old puppet.
He was now the pawn in his own game of chess.
If only he remembered how to play this horrid game.
AKA
In a last resort by the Axolotl, Bill Cipher is sent to Gravity Falls for redemption, but of course he'd rather be dead than with the lesser version of his old puppet and some stupid brats. Bill doesn't care about them.
Bill doesn't at all.

Dipper couldn’t help but think something was up with his Grunkle Ford. But his husband, their Grunkle Bill, doesn’t seem to understand what he’s talking about! So it’s up to the preteen to figure this out!

Summary
Bill Cipher is not having a good time at the Theraprism. Being a powerless, living creature was definitely not on his list of expectations and, on top of that, he is being treated like a lesser being by both the staff and patients.
Meanwhile, Mabel Pines isn't having a good time at college. She couldn't get into the same college as Dipper, not even in a second application. Instead, she had to go to a small community college alone where she's dealing with mean roommates, hard classes and missing Dipper and her family, even though she's really happy for him.So, naturally, the Axolotl decided that connecting the two would be a great idea. In their mind, Mabel could help Bill open up, whilst Bill could help Mabel develop a bit of a stronger personality. But, as always, nothing goes like planned when Bill Cipher is allowed to interact with Pines family.
This fic now has Billford, because I have absolutely zero self control.
And now the rating changed to mature because Bill and Ford got too freaky (but at least they’re detoxifying the yaoi). Is there any hope for Bill or will he remain the prisoner of the Theraprism forever?Series

Summary
Bill Cipher gave up his powers to stay with Ford Pines at Gravity Falls. Mabel is overjoyed about this, but Stan and Dipper would rather die than spend a second with that triangle. Ford is using this opportunity to research his former Muse and find out more about Euclydeans as a species. Bill is being... well, Bill. Summer in Gravity Falls is chaotic as ever, full of cryptids, ghosts, horrific consequences of Weirdmageddon and, worst of all - Family drama!
Takes place after the events of "Bad Triangles Go to Therapy", but you don’t have to read that fic in order to understand what is going on in this one!

Summary

Summary
Whatever you think I did to you wasn’t even a fraction of what you did to me,” Ford turned him back around and undid the rope. Bill rubbed at his wrists, “I’m locking the door behind me. You will not bother my brother, his employees or the kids when they come. And if you are good and don’t cause any trouble, maybe- maybe- I will take you out to let you see the light of day.”
Bill was silent, giving Ford a glare. Sixer turned and walked back up the stairs, and Bill heard the lock click. Fine by him, all he had to do was bide his time and think of a plan to get out of here.

Summary
The Axolotl knows somewhere deep down some how there is a sliver of goodness inside Bill Cipher. (At least in .7% of the different timelines that could occur in this universe) and the Axolotl is way to much of an optimist to let that potential go to waste. In a last ditch effort to save Bill's soul the Axolotl decides to arrange a sort of out patient rehab situation for Bill including a brand new body, free rent at the mystery shack and whole lot of unwanted human experiences. And not ten minutes into outpatient Bill decides he'd rather suffer through psychobabble with D-SM5 than have to avoid eye contact with Ford. But it'll be fine. Probably.

Summary
It had been two days since the twins had arrived in Gravity Falls. Mabel had already made friends with her uncles, the overly hairy mail man, and sixteen tourists. Dipper on the other hand was…not having the best time adapting.
He felt watched walking around every corner. Not to mention his “caregivers” for the summer weren’t exactly, conventional. One stayed in his office for the entire day, and made Dipper sweat uncontrollably every time he looked his way. The other spent his days hustling scams and selling tacky clutter. The third…well words couldn’t really describe him, Dipper just tried to avoid him at every moment.
When suddenly, Dippers world was turned upside down after a mysterious journal fell into his hands. Or really, found in a hidden hatch in the middle of the woods-but that’s besides the point.
Now with this journal, an author who seems to be living a bit too close to home, and a whole town ready to be explored. Summer began to seem a lot less boring.
But when adventure arrives, so does danger. The more the twins begin to stuff their noses into the hidden underbelly of the town, they soon realise not everyone can be trusted. Even famiy.
