Story Summary: What would happen if the Crystal Gems had settled down in a place other than Beach City, a little backwoods town just west of weird…? What if, upon coming to Gravity Falls for the summer, Dipper and Mabel were to befriend Steven and Connie? What kind of magical, mysterious adventures would they have? And, how would they fare against the combined threats of merciless Homeworld Gems and a certain triangular demon?

Find out what happens when Magic and Mystery meet in Universe Falls...

Chapter Summary: Steven, Dipper, and Mabel team up to search for the legendary Gravity Falls Gobblewonker. Can they also find a way to convince the quarreling Amethyst and Pearl to fuse into the equally legendary Opal? It wasn’t unusual for the Gems to be away all night on some far-off mission, and in the same way, it wasn’t unusual for Steven to get up early to wait for them. He was still in the middle of breakfast when the warp pad lit up with its telltale glow, prompting Steven to leave his cereal behind to welcome his guardians back instead.  “Hi, you guys!” he called, bounding over to the pad. “Whoa…” he stopped short upon noticing that the Gems were a little worse for wear after whatever they’d just been through. “Hello, Steven,” Garnet greeted coolly, despite the feathers scattered through her disheveled afro. Amethyst cheerfully leapt off the warp pad almost as soon as they returned, toting a large, oddly colored egg over to the kitchen.  “Amethyst, we do not need that!” Pearl scolded as Amethyst began trying to squeeze her prize into the fridge. “It’s not going to fit in there!” “Aw, c’mon, Pearl, I totally got this,” Amethyst assured. In one swift move, she pulled the middle shelf out of the fridge, sending any food that had once sat upon it onto the floor. From there, she pushed the egg in as she shot Pearl a smug grin. “See? It fits!” She slammed the door shut, wincing when a sickening crack sounded from within. “Oh man…” she looked away from the fridge, disappointed. “Eh, I guess it's not a total loss. Now we can make a big omelet, or a quiche, or a huge sunny side up!”
