intro     ──

Eliot Bishop. Rebellious. Sarcastic. Angry. The priest's son. He's the kind of guy who slips into shadows as easily as slipping out of trouble—most of the time. With a father who hides his cruelty behind the guise of faith, Eliot's learned that trust is just another illusion, and home is only a place he escapes from.

In a town where everyone's watching, Eliot's the one who's always looking away, pretending he doesn't care about the mysteries beneath the surface. But then the Pines twins arrive, bringing more questions than answers. Dipper, with his relentless curiosity, is different—driven, like he's searching for something deeper. And Eliot knows he's in trouble when he realizes he actually wants to help him find it.

In Gravity Falls, secrets breathe and fester, and Eliot's life is no exception. If he isn't careful, the darkness he's tried so hard to ignore might be the very thing that pulls him under.

[A/N]: I haven't really come across a Gravity Falls fanfic quite like this, so I decided to dive in and make one myself. After rewatching the show about five times only this summer (thanks to my revived hyperfixation, partly thanks to The Book of Bill), I couldn't ignore the idea of writing a story where Dipper falls for someone who's his complete opposite - and is a boy.  Plus, I may or may not still be honoring my seven-year-old self's crush on Dipper here!
As for the rest of the cast, it's up to everyone's imagination who they are played by.

Anyway, I'll just be blissfully ignoring the ten or so assignments I need to finish for uni to bring you all this fanfiction. Hope you enjoy it as much as I've loved writing it so far!]
