A/N A sad fic based on zilleniose (on tumblr) Transcendence AU, I suggest being familiar with it or the story isnt going to make much sense.

Summery: Dipper realizes just how long and lonely an eternity as a demon is.

The life span of a human was painfully short when compared to the endless existence of a Demon. Dipper realized this quickly as he saw Mable turn from an energetic teen to a fierce magnificent woman and eventually a wise old woman. 10 years, 20 years, 30, 50, 100, it all had passed too quickly.

He had kept everything, every sweater that Mable had knitted for him, the pictures that the triplets had drawn for him and the birthday gifts that Henry had bought for him despite Dippers instance "I'm an all powerful Demon, what in dreamscape do I need SOCKS for?" All the nicks and knacks that Grunkle Stan had collected for the mystery shack were preserved too. He had hid them away deep in the forest where no one would dare step foot and eventually displayed them in the mystery shack itself when even his great nieces and nephews were too old and worn from life to visit. It became his refuge the one place he could just be Dipper.

Gravity Falls had become a ghost town, no one but cultists had wanted to visit the ground zero of the paranormal world and ever worse- the origin town of the Terrifying Demon Alcor. Dipper had placed magic wards all around the Mystery Shack to keep prying eyes and avid cultists out, but after several ambitious attempts to seek the origin of Alcor's power Dipper had remover Gravity Falls entirely off the map. Not destroyed it, just, transported it to be in his private dreamscape. If you walked in one end you would just come out the other, like nothing had existed there in the first place.

Dipper would visit the Shack whenever being a Demon was just a bit too hard to bear and the memories of a past life came back. Sometimes the gaps between his visits would be days and sometimes it would be decades but he always came back, and she would always be there, the memories of a girl with a big braced, smile and the best bone cracking hugs you could get. She would be there to remind Dipper that he could be happy and that in the end, everything would be all right. And in the moments before the cold reality of eternity came back to him, he was.
