The Brother and the Father

Stanley Pines isn't a saint; he makes his mistakes, as numerous and varied as they may be. He knows that. Maybe hooking up with a girl in Vegas could be one of those, especially with whatever happened in between leaving her behind and the two kids appearing on his doorstep. Selfish as it is, he'd call it the best damn thing that ever happened in his life. He knows his life ain't that good for his two wonderful little gremlins, and he wants to work on getting that sorted out, but it takes time, and he's banned in so many damn places that it makes everything all the more harder. So when he gets a postcard through the mail slot on the tiny little hotel room he'd sheltered his kids into, and sees the name of his brother with a town out in the middle of nowhere, he starts to wonder. Maybe he can fix things with his brother and find himself a place to live at the same time?An alternative universe where Stanley is Mabel and Dipper's biological father, trying to give his kids the best life he can as a homeless grifter living out of his car. As good of a life as anyone can have in '75. Cannon divergence during A Tale of Two Stans, with a timeline shift of seven years.
