#Gregory is staying with Vanessa

[thecryptidart1st]

So the moment I saw that Elizabeth was Vanessa's mom in the Alive AU I could not help but imagine them being the pettiest shits to each other. Elizabeth suggests Vanessa dyes her hair red? Vanessa dyes her hair, like mentioned in game, rainbow. Why are you so mad, Mom? There's red in there!

At least Gregory and Cassie think it's cool.

It’s very much “Full Time Girlboss, Part Time Tiger Mom with severe insecurities installed by her Father” vs “Angsty Teen who learned how to find loopholes in contracts from her Mother” level of petty

But yes, the younger Afton cousins admire Vanessa for her rebelliousness

Gregory and Vanessa saving Cassie after RUIN but in the process also saving the Ruined animatronics and taking them to Vanessa's storage shed and fixing them up with whatever usable stuff they can find in the Pizzaplex or laying around in the shed and making the shed like the animatronics comfy little home that they all visit in their free time and it's like silly family yknow

Doubles as the animatronics home and also a work place where 3 star fam + Cassie plan how to trap Mimic again

Family time AKA let's plan how to destroy this really fucking old endoskeleton that just refuses to die

#Chip Chatter #chat is this anything #Monty Roxy Chica and Daycare Attendant stay in the storage shed but Freddy stays with Vanessa and Gregory #also I think Cassie would spend the night a lot<3 Especially while the animatronics are being repaired #she doesn't want them to be lonely.......

I imagine the first time the 3 Star fam watched a movie, they let Freddy pick! The bear just scrolls through the options to look for robot movies, preferably one that has a child as their friend.

...

He picks The Iron Giant...and Big Hero 6...

(Freddy is perfectly fine with not picking movies again. It also gives Gregory the ideas for the bad Vanny Ending and Fire Escape...)

BONUS: They watch Inception for VANNI creation

oh noooo. and vanessa would already be sobbing over the iron giant on a normal day. gregory and freddy would be destroyed lives changed new fear unlocked

im just imagining them watching it now. gregory loves the giant and obviously he reminds him of freddy, and freddy probably thinks the giant is 'a respectable fellow' or something. he cries when he sacrifices himself at the end for sure. would not be suprised with gregorys luck if he has nightmares about freddy doing the same after that like you said

and freddy would so be crying or smoking from his processer or something at the scene with hogarth in the snow with the giant thinking he killed him. i think freddy might reconsider his strength after that or understand just how much gregory means to him afterwards and how he would feel if those new fears came true

i think vanessa (i actually have already wrote a oneshot about this) would relate to the giant while watching the movie with the "you are who you choose to be" message. the theme in iron giant is that he was created to be a gun but chooses not to be. i think vanessa would so resonate with that

but i also think shed relate to hogarths mom lmao. just she learned to care for the giant by the end too but had already worried so much about her son and had to watch them go off together and be in danger. i think watching the mom feel hopeless would 1. maybe remind her of her split time as vanny and herself during gregorys night at the pizzaplex and how she (at least was supposed to be) worried about them and gregorys safety

but 2. i think itd force her to consider the idea of gregory (especially him. hes a tiny boy and freddys a hulking robot) and freddy getting in danger without her being able to do anything and having to watch them get hurt, like hogarths mom did watching the giant crash.

nightmares for all of them lmao. it would suck for them to unlock new fears because of a random movie for movie night but i dont think itd be unlocked at all, more like unearthed. like theyd always had these fears that were inevitably going to rise to the surface someday but the movie is just what made them arrive earlier maybe. so they were always gonna have to work through it and this way get peace of mind earlier

#sorry for talking so much about the iron giant and 3 star fam #LMAO #also if ur interested in the oneshot about vanessa wtaching this movie that i wrote #its kinda old but its titled you are who you choose to be #in my im gonna bleed im gonna stay series #aka a series ill never finish aksdkjf #its basic 3 star fam anyway just classic #pandas.txt #pandas talks #pandas asks #3 star fam #gregory #vanessa #freddy #superfav #thoughts

Me when I create an au so far off canon it’s basically just an oc plot line

Used this very good 3d model for reference for the subway car

(if you're still taking these)

💛

Vanessa and Gregory?

💛 (Yellow heart) for a familial ship!

Hm okay so I don't really do stuff with Gregory much so bare with me on this one

I'm not sure they'd fit into any sort of traditional family roles like "mother and son" or "siblings" or anything. Neither of those feel right. That doesn't mean they can't be close though! They have their own unique bond!

Their friendship is probably heavily based on their mutual animatronic friends. That's no doubt where that started. I mean if we're post SB, Vanessa absolutely doesn't trust herself near him and he absolutely doesn't trust her, so their relationship has to be built up from a distance. Every time Vanessa is involved in the group, they get ever so slightly closer, gradually building that bridge through small moments, short conversations and the occasional laugh at someone else's expense. It build up from there, the moments getting longer, the conversations more complex, and the jokes more frequent until eventually they can hang out on their own together.

Vanessa cares a lot about him and would go out of her way if need be to help him or to get him anything he wants within reason and Gregory will steal and make things for her in return. They never expected to get particularly attached to each other, but now whenever Vanessa gets in the shit for some shenanigan that happened during her shift, Gregory is unexpectedly mad and whenever Gregory is in trouble with any other kids, Vanessa is unexpectedly just as mad about it. Like they'd grown to be decent enough friends with eachother that they actually give way more of a shit about each others feelings than they did before, which isn't saying much for Greg since he started off not giving a shit at all.

But more importantly, Vanessa is Gregory's link to the outside world. Gregory returning to school? Vanessa makes it happen. Gregory wants to hang out with some friends? Vanessa makes sure he can get back okay. There's a local youth club doing some fun stuff in the week? Vanessa gets him over there. At first, he wasn't so appreciative of suddenly being pulled into some sort of 'normal' routine but once things start to settle, he actually much prefers this to what he had before where it was just "whatever happens happens" every day. It's nice to know what to expect and the animatronics and constant daily buzz of the Plex can be a bit much sometimes so it's nice to get away from that too. She's also his best bet at a consistent meal that isn't just whatever shit Chica decided would be fun to eat today. Pizza every day is probably not good for him, especially if it's Fazbear quality.

They'd probably have fun at the various Plex attractions and playing this game Vanessa came up with when she was bored in her first week on the job where she watches the animatronics and commentates like it's a nature documentary. They have fun with that one for sure. Just "And here we see... Roxanne Wolf in her natural habitat... in some randomass box in the middle of the corridor." and "Ah yes. The Moon. Also known as the FuckFaced Bat." in terrible David Attenborough voices. The best things these two can do together though, are the things not at the Plex. Vanessa took him to the beach once and they got stranded when the tide came in whilst they were looking at rock pools and had to frantically call a coastguard to come and save them. They brought seashells back for everyone of course!

They could have a real wholesome thing going on here! They love each other like family, and don't need to categorise it any more than that. They're great!

I just think Gregory is inherently in danger after escaping the pizzaplex for the simple fact of he knows too much. he was supposed to die and then he didn't and now he knows too much and that cannot be allowed to exist.

#★ * OOC / brainrot for a sushi restaurant. ) #he's a liability #by glitchtrap / afton / what have you. by vanny. by whatever entity is high enough within fazbear that they #built the pizzaplex where it is and put glitchtrap in the code and pushed vanessa through the hiring process #gregory cannot be allowed to just exist outside the confines of it all #and thats also why I think its critically important that after it all gregory stays WITH someone who is #familiar with the horrors #not only because thats a very specific brand of trauma that a kid cannot work through themselves but #the knowledge that he's not safe just because they made it out

[cakeslildumpster]

Cassidy being like CPS and going after Vanessa on the dream AU 😭😭😭

Why can't she stay with Gregory?

Not sure about what you meant on the last part, "why can't she stay with Gregory?"

Well, if you are talking about Vanessa, then dw, she stays with Gregory, and Cassidy isn't aftet her

But if you're talking about Cassidy then....

Who said she couldn't stay? She has free will here :))

[justaduckarts]

This is entirely /lh but

"Sun is an unhinged, sassy theatre bot"

"Sun is a soft, anxious bean"

What if he was both. People tend to act diferently around different people.

Sun obviously doesn't like the fazbear staff, look how badly they treat him. He is filthy and uncared for.

But based on what Cassie says in the DLC, he must be nice- and probably even enjoys being- around kids.

I think that it's unfair to say Sun is just one way when people are multifaceted. In my mind, Sun being sassy and a little mean is probably learned behavior from his environment. That is what AI do. They learn.

Look at Freddy. He's the star of the show so he receives priority treatment. He is adored and he obviously adores the kids who look up to him. He speaks to Vanessa respectfully despite her nasty attitude. Why?

I think part of it is his programmed personality. But the other part is learned behavior. He knows (or at least thinks) that the staff are there to take care of the building and of him. So even if Vanessa isn't nice, he explains the behavior away. He is even upset by the concerning behaviors displayed by his friends.

But when you look at Sun, you see someone who is obviously very anxious at the idea of getting into trouble- which is why he is so pushy about making sure Gregory stays in sight and safe.

I think a lot of it is because of Moon. Moon's outright dangerous behavior, mixed with the staff not seeing the two as separate, has led to Sun being the way he is.

All of this to say, I really love seeing all the different interpretations. These are just my thoughts and headcanons, obviously, but I've seen a lot of distress over HW2's Sun and wanted to share what I thought about the whole thing.

Have a good day <3

I head canon that Gregory doesn’t know how to swim so Freddy and Vanessa try giving him swimming lessons and he has to wear and use floatys.

You can only hear the sound of the rubber floaties with every step he takes whenever they go to the pool 😭 gotta stay extra safe

[bamsara]

question regarding solar lunacy, more near future situations without spoiling too much.

regarding specific scenes, very heavily leaning on the cut scenes shown in the game. how would sun/moon be brought into these scenes with y/n?

sticking out to me, where moon has knocked freddy out cold, and dragging him into parts and service for interrogation.

will we be experiencing moons after math from some kind of "black out" after dragging freddy into the "protective cylinder" and y/n conducting the repair instead of greg?

or will we simply not be cool enough to share cannon events with freddy and greg?

additionally, moon is hunting greg through the game after very hour. will this be incorporated as well? (if able to answer without spoilers) how?

Oooh, some of this would require spoilers and/or some info that would need to be taken with light grain of salt as my current drafts aren't set in stone, and I'd be revising and changing things before the chapters release.

So I can't talk about the scene with Moon dragging Freddy away, or give you in-deph detail about the lights-off routine at the end of every hour and how that relates from game to fic (considering some things have changed in the fic compared to the game, like how Y/N inadvertently prevented Vanessa from being hired as a security guard, but that doesn't mean she's not in the pizzaplex still. Wink wink.) Somethings will be similar but not the same.

Most canon events will need to happen to some extent. I cannot tell you which ones or how true they will stay to the source material, but there will be destruction. As for the hunting procedure the animatronics have, this will still in place, but altered for the fic universe. I cannot talk about how this will work out without giving direct spoilers. But yes, Gregory (and the Reader) will be hunted by some animatronics.

For now, I put a lot of background details into SL that come back later, including: - The Daycare Attendant, (and Monty to an extent) have been working on their resistance to the virus for over a year now in fic timeline. The other animatronics, and staffbots, have not had this, even if their virus manifestations are able to be more hidden from the public (and the reader/narration.) - The reader (Y/N) is an employee and has shown to have the knowledge and clearance to work the breaker/manual power to turn On/Off the scheduled pizza plex's lights in the past before (see: chapter 6) as long as they can get to the controls to do so. - Thanks to Eclipse in chapter 13, there is currently a crack in the protective cylinder in Parts n Service.

There's others as well. There's foreshadowing of something in every chapter, even the early ones. I hope you're okay with me not spoiling stuff until then!

do you have refs for your 3star fam designs? :0

Ahhh I don't ^^;

Honestly their designs change a lot- really just depends on how I feel like drawing them lmao

#Chip Chatter #I should probably make their refs soon- #for Vanessa specifically it'd be pretty difficult cause imo she's the kind of person to change her hair every other week- #still trying to find herself after the whole Glitchtrap thing yknow #but Gregory and Freddy would be easy enough- Gregory stays practically the same and I've already got a design for Freddy's new body

Take Me Home 1, 2

(to see new chapters release, sub on ao3 :))

(3227 words)

When Cassie wakes for the second time, it's not with a pounding head and limbs as heavy as iron. No. This time, her awareness of the world rolls in smoothly, and all she feels when she wakes fully is faint buzzing throughout her body.

She revels in it; the fact that theres no pain. She doesn't think too hard about why, she just shifts, moving to stretch her limbs, but hisses when going to move her arm sends a wave of soreness pain up her arm.

She grits her teeth, yelping and suddenly re-entering the world fully when the pain throws her into alertness.

Her eyes shoot open, and she moves to sit up in bed, heart racing when all she can remember is last being in the dark, dingy, falling apart Pizzaplex, but she calms when all she can see is someone's bedroom.

"...Huh?" She mumbles, her mind still not having fully caught up to her yet. She glances around the room, painted a pale blue, with furniture tucked against the neighboring walls and flowing curtains covering most of the sunlight filtering through the window, a light breeze ruffling them.

Movement catches her attention in the corner of her eye, and she glances over just in time for Gregory to snort awake, eyes trailing across her, not really seeing her, until they blow wide in recognition.

"Cassie!" Gregory exclaims, rushing to stand up from the position he was in where he had been sitting in a chair, laying his head in his arms, hunched over on the bed. "You're finally awake!"

Cassie feels her heart warm when she realizes that Gregory had been waiting for her to wake up by her bedside, never leaving her prescence. Long enough for him to fall asleep. Her heart slows to a normal rate when she sets eyes on him, immediately feeling at ease, and she breaths a deep breath, shifting to sit up more and allowing Gregory to help her when he rushes over.

She hisses when the movement jostles her leg and arm, and she finally takes a good look at them, realizing that at some point, in her sleep, her cardigan had been taken off, leaving her in her button-up, and her shoes and socks had been discarded, leaving her in her dark purple tights and shorts.

Gregory notices her staring at her foot, which is propped up on a pillow, peeking out from under the thick comforter, with some sort of makeshift splint made from cloth wrapped around the ankle.

"We had to improvise." He informs her, that lopsided grin Cassie'd always see in her dreams and on her homemade missing posters stretched on his face. "Ness cant exactly take the chance of getting involved with authority."

Cassie furrows her brows, her mind still kind of foggy from her -what she guesses- long sleep. "Ness?"

Gregory perks up. "Oh. It's a nickname we use for Vanessa a lot. Y'know, that blonde girl that was with us in the pizzeria?"

Cassie nods in recognition, remembering her blonde ponytail with rainbow streaks. "Yeah, um... how exactly did--"

She gets cut off when the door clicks open, and speak of the devil. "Oh, you're awake." Vanessa peeks her head in the room, a smile on her face when she sees Cassie sitting up and awake. "We were just making dinner, and I wanted to see if you were up."

"Um..." Cassie trails off. "Dinner?" She settles on.

Gregory senses her uncertainty, and settles a hand on her shoulder. "Vanessa's makin' chicken alfredo. And since you're awake, now you can finally eat."

Her stomach rumbles as if on queue, and her cheeks redden. Gregory has no problem laughing at her. "How long has it been?"

Cassie tries to think. "A few hours before you came and got me, since I ran to the Pizzaplex as soon as I got the message. So... that plus however long I slept for."

"Eighteen hours." Vanessa supplies helpfully.

Cassies eyebrows shoot up to her hairline. "Eighteen hours?!" She exclaims.

Gregory laughs, and Vanessa just looks at her with a crooked smile that reminds her of Gregory's. "Yup. You were exhausted physically and emotionally, and were injured, kiddo. The fact that you slept for so long checks out."

Gregory giggles. "Remember when we first got back, you slept for twenty-one."

Vanessa rolls her eyes. "I think I had a perfectly good reason to sleep the whole day away. Unlike you." She points two fingers from her eyes to Gregory. "Its not my fault you have the same amount of energy as a hyperactive dog."

"You mentioned a dog! So is the dog talk working?" Gregory asks, smugly. "Come on, Ness. Just concede. Its only a matter of time before you cave."

Cassie just watches, unsure of what to do when Gregory and Vanessa talk. Theres a grin on Gregory's face, not one she's used to. Not like the mischievous, pointed ones when Gregory was brewing something up, or the slight, hopeful ones, when Cassie would talk about when they got older, and she and Gregory could work towards getting a car and finally being able to give Gregory a life where he doesnt have to worry, and they can just live. Just a few more years, they'd always say.

This one is easy. Its gentle, with no kind of edge to be detected, and it looks so right on his face. It doesn't look forced, it doesnt look rare. Cassie can tell just by looking that Gregory has smiled like this often, and hes been allowed to be used to it. To smile without the quirk of worry.

It warms Cassies heart, to see that theres been change. But it also hurts.

Because he'd been away for so long, and although Cassie is so, so glad to have him back, she can't help but wonder why he never reached out to her. If he'd been able to smile so easily like this, while she couldn't muster one at times, too empty from his absence.

"I can barely take care of you and Freddy, kid." Vanessa points out, and Cassie is thrown back into reality. "And now I got another destroyed animatronic to fix and another kid. Not even mentioning a dog."

Cassie gasps, big and sudden at Vanessa's words. "Roxy!" She exclaims, and she winces when her voice rasps, and her dry throat burns from dehydration. "Roxy! Where is she? Is--Is she okay?!"

When Cassie starts to shift, arms moving to roll the comforter off of herself and somehow leave the bed, Gregory and Vanessa both rush to gently push her back down.

"Its okay, Cassie." Gregory says in that soft voice of his where it feels like it's only reserved for Cassie. "Shes in parts and service. While you were asleep, we wanted to fix her up a little, so we took turns watching you and fixing Roxy up."

Cassie feels the tension melt off of her body when she hears that Roxy is here, and has been fixed a little, but she still furrows her brows in confusion at 'parts and service', because are they not in a house right now?

Cassie can see Vanessa roll her eyes and go to explain. "He means that shes in one of the spare rooms we use to work on animatronics." Vanessa tells her. "We used it to build Freddy a body, and once Freddy started calling it parts and service, Gregory jumped on it, and it just stuck."

Cassie nods slowly, taking in the influx of information that she cant fully sort through right now. "So thats why Freddy didnt have a head."

"Do you want to see her?" Gregory asks. "Roxy, I mean. I'm suprised she hasnt barged in here already. I had to fight her to get her to trust me and Ness enough to work on her and watch you."

Cassie smiles, but it doesn't quite reach her eyes. Because Roxy is so worried about her, and Cassie is happy that she cares, but shes upset that Roxy and Gregory are so hostile towards eachother. "Yeah. Um. I would like to see her."

Gregory nods, and smiles. "Kay. She wont look the exact same, since I tried my best to restore her some, but at least she isnt about to fall apart."

Vanessa leaves the room with a curse, and Cassie ignores the slight burning smell coming from outside the door. "...Okay. Just... when you get her, can we have some alone time?"

Gregory nods, halfway out the door. "Okay. Sure. I'll be right back, okay?"

"Okay." She says, and then Gregory is gone.

Cassie breathes deep, playing with the frayed edges of the comforter when theres nothing else to do. She can hear the clattering of kitchen utensils from further in the house, and hushed voices.

The silence stretches further in her room, and when Gregory doesnt return, not right away, Cassie can feel her chest tighten, and something grip her lungs.

She breathes harshly through her nose, and notices how her hands begin to shake slightly.

Something grabs at her chest, something akin to panic, feeling like a giant hand and squeezing.

Gregory. Is all she can think about. He said he'd be right back. Where is he? He shouldn't have been gone this long, right?

Have I lost him again?

She squeezes her eyes shut, trying really hard to keep still, to keep calm, but her brain is jumbled, like its tied itself in knots, and all she can think about is how Gregory isn't here with her.

She has half the mind to get up, to tear through the house to search for him, to make sure she hasnt lost him again, that she wont have to look for him again. But one look at her ankle thats wrapped in cloth and she knows it isnt possible.

She makes a pitiful noise, breaths huffing out of her mouth now, short and heavy, and Gregory hasnt come back yet, and she cant do a thing about it.

It's only when Gregory pops his head back through the door, nudging it open with a creak that Cassie is ripped away from her thoughts and actually realizes how much shes panicking.

Gregory steps inside, a smile on his face, mouth open ready to speak, but it drops right off as soon as he sees Cassie.

Cassie cant find it in her to speak when Gregory rushes over to her, asking if shes okay. Her brain feels like its fogged over, or like its signal is blocked, and she cant think enough to respond to his questions.

All she can do is reach out to him when relief overwhelms her, enough for tears to slip past her lashes, and Gregory pauses in his rapid fire questions, seeming to understand something.

"I'm here, Cassie." He tells her, getting on the bed with her. He let's her wrap her arms around him and squeeze him as much as she needs when she moves to. "I'm not leaving again, okay? I'll be here with you. Nothings going to take me away from you. You arent going to lose me."

Cassie relishes in the reassurance. It reaches past all of the fog into some part of her brain, and it's like hosing down a wildfire. Her breathing slows down as she soaks up the feeling of Gregory right here, with her, and not going anywhere.

The panic that gripped her heart loosens some, and shes finally able to breathe, breathing deep breaths when Gregory does too.

"Sorry." She says after a moment, wiping at her eyes. "I dont... I dont know why that happened. I, um..."

"Separation anxiety." Gregory says, and Cassie startles. When shes finally able to unfuse herself with Gregory enough to look at his face, he has a knowing, serious expression on his face. "I had my rodeo with it, too... me and Freddy didnt have too good of a time with it."

Cassie furrows her brows, and it feels like she has ten thousand more questions added to the pile to ask, but Gregory stops her before she can speak.

"I'll tell you another time, okay?" He says, gesturing to the door where Roxy stands, waiting patiently for someone who was, when she last checked, willing to rip apart the guy Cassie just hugged to death. "Just... I promise I'll help you with it, okay? I dont think I'll be too different from you, after trying to reach you all night, and also..."

His eyes glaze over some, looking like a thousand different memories are playing over them, but he shakes it off, offering one more smile. "Itll be fine, okay? I'm gonna go make you a plate, cuz I think dinners ready, and you can talk to Roxy. Sound good?"

Cassie doesnt know what's wrong with her, because she almost tears up again at Gregory's words, because hes being so kind, and so understanding. She shouldn't be surpised, she guesses, Gregory had always found a way to catch her off guard with kindness when she'd been so used to being brushed off or disliked.

She nods, smiling back ag him, and he offers a thumbs up, moving past Roxy and shutting the door behind him.

It's only now that Cassies able to fully pay attention to Roxy, and she gasps, almost not recognizing her.

Before, she hadn't had anything resembling a face. Just her endoskeleton skull exposed due to broken casing. But now, she somehow has her face casing back. The colors are a little off, and it looks dusty and unused, but she looks like herself. Her last remaining strands of hair are fuller now, some new strands added. They've been shifted, too, styled to look adjacent to her old style, just shorter.

Her body isnt much different, one of her arms has its forearms back, a bright, clean purple compared to her filthy leg warmers, and she has her other foot back, just a larger size and different color.

But the most prominent change are definitely the eyeballs, glowing blue LED's, stuck securely in their sockets.

Cassie laughs disbelievingly, joyously, putting her hands up to her mouth with a wide smile.

"Roxy!" She exclaims. "You have eyes again!"

It's only now, when Roxy laughs along with her, that Cassie realizes her voice box has been replaced, too. Cassie laughs even more when Roxys voice filters through, sounding happy, instead of angry, no warbling or static to be found.

Roxy heads to her bedside, and shes walking much more surely, now. Not like her long, wide strides, always careful to not collide with something. She sways from side to side, ever confident in her looks.

"How do I look?" Roxy asks, fluttering her eyelashes now that she has some again and fluffing her new hairdo up with her hand. "The brat gave me a makeover."

Cassie giggles. "You look beautiful, Roxy."

"I know." Roxy says, but then turns her attention towards Cassie. "How are you doing, Speed racer?" Roxy asks, voice soft. "That elevator couldnt have felt good."

Cassie shakes her head, gesturing to her splinted arm and ankle. "Nope, but... Gregory and Vanessa fixed me up pretty good. I'm not hurting that much."

"I'm glad." Roxy smiles, because she can now.

It's just Cassie and Roxy, now. And like with Gregory, everything she'd been feeling, all the thoughts she'd been having all bubble up to the surface, and now that everyones here, and safe, she just wants to get it all out.

So Cassie furrows her brows, and goes to tell Roxy I'm sorry, I didnt want to, I shut you down and you still saved me, why? But before she can, the door clicks back open, and Gregory steps inside her room, balancing two plates on his hands.

"Dinners ready." He tells her, smiling, and Cassie doesn't know why shes suprised when after Gregory hands her her own plate, he crawls up on the bed with her.

So she doesnt voice it. She just smiles, a big, wide one, but still small and soft.

Vanessa walks inside the room with her own plate, and Freddy, looking everything like the home-built animatronic he is, follows behind her, extra pillows and blankets in his arms.

"I was thinking we have a movie night." Vanessa says, sitting in the same chair Gregory was when she first woke up. "Better than you having to sit in here bored, right, kid?"

Cassie nods, and her mouth waters when she catches a whiff of the chicken alfredo sitting in her lap.

Gregory snatches the remote from Vanessa, holding it away from her arms when she tries to take it back. The TV in front of them that she just now notices is in the room comes to life, Disney+ appearing on screen.

Gregory hands the remote to Cassie when Vanessa finally gives up, and shes able to pick the movie, putting on a happy, animated movie, where all the characters have their happy endings and nothing bad really ever happens.

The chicken alfredo was delicious, and they sat in her makeshift room, pillows and blankets built up like jenga around her to make her as comfortable as possible for hours, laughing together.

Cassies cheeks hurt by the end, and although shes so thrilled after hanging out with Gregory again, just having fun together like they used to, she cant help but notice that Roxy was really quiet the whole time. Really quiet.

Cassie doesnt think shes very good at reading animatronics yet, not like Vanessa and Gregory seem to be able to with Freddy, but Cassie cant help but feel like Roxy wasnt really able to relax this whole time, and shes surrounded with people she feels unsafe with.

By the end of it all, when the suns long set and Cassie feels tiredness drag her eyelids down, she cant rest, even when Vanessa's retired to her room, Gregory's left, and Roxy and Freddy went to parts and service.

She feels the same panic as earlier grip her heart. It's not like a panic attack; she's had a few of those, it's more like any chance of relaxation has left her body, and all that's left is feeling tense, on edge, and like something bad is going to happen. Like Gregory isnt going to be there when she wakes up.

But she needn't have worried, because it isnt too long until Gregory re-enters her room, wearing pajamas and Roxy and Freddy plushies clutched in one hand, with a night light in the other.

"This helped me and Freddy when it'd get bad, too." Gregory explains, tucking the Roxy plushie into her own arm as he lays down with her, clicking the night light shaped like Sundrop on. "That way, you can see me if you get scared that I'm gone."

Cassie can't put into words how grateful she is, or how glad she is that Gregory's back, and that she finally has him again, so she just doesn't, even though she wants to. Instead, she just clicks the lamp off, and when she lays down, wraps her arms around his middle.

Once Gregory is pressed up against her, with her forehead against his collarbone, and she can feel his slow, calm breaths, she feels relaxed. She finally feels herself slip into dreamland, and has no nightmares.

#heres my ao3 notes #just wanted this chapter to be them chilling for a second #because this big talk cassie keeps wanting to have with gregory and roxy and just everything keeps getting delayed #but itll happen eventually #oh trust me #also hope you enjoy the gregory and cassie backstory crumbs! i dont really have anything in mind but ill see where my brain takes it. im ki #but right now i think im going for the idea that gregory was homeless and friends with cassie #and while unable to do anything because gregory makes her hide the fact that hes homeless to her dad #she has him stay at her house to get fed and sleep somewhere safe #and their unusual circumstances plus how sweet their meeting was makes them really close #i also wanted to hammer in the idea of gregory #vanessa and freddy already going through the healing process. like its been an uphill battle and taken a long time #but theyve had time to grow and heal together and know eachother pretty well by now #so i think cassie having seperation anxiety with gregory (and vice versa just less because of his experience + other circumstances) #and gregory having gone through that with freddy (and still is) would be interesting. 3 star fam wants to help cassie + roxy heal #wont be posting chapters on tumblr from now on #so if you wanna keep up sub on ao3 :) #take me home #tmh #my fics #pandas writes

I like to think that Gregory is the type of kid who really hates wearing weather appropriate clothes when it's winter AND WILL be annoying about it as Vanessa forces him to stay warm. He'll be visibily shaking but go "ACTUALLY, VANESSA. IM NOT EVEN COLD."
