I'm glad people are liking my trans roxy agenda!!! Join us. It's totally canon. I promise.
Anyway. Elaborating. The reason Faz Ent. goes along with the Roxy transition is bc the rest of the animatronics accept Roxy immediately and refuse to do otherwise. This is their good friend, of course they'll accept her. It would be too expensive to rewire the AI's of all the animatronics, so faz ent just rolls with it.
In fact, they start playing around with the idea of new characters, since Roxy is taken so well. They experiment with endo AI stuff and get Monty as a result. Roxy is stoked that there's a new guy. Until her dad dies and the new guy takes his place (she probably doesn't know it's his fault, but he's still being an ass to her other dad so she's justified)

how the ghosts would react to you coming out as trans
(bc i have bbc ghosts brain rot & i’m up late with good ol trans anxiety) enjoy!!
thomas
he would support the hell out of you, but would definitely be the kind of cis person to make a big dramatic show of it every time he accidentally misgendered or deadnamed you. listen - i love this man, but he is a drama queen. after telling him you’re trans, he would probably make it about him in some way - like maybe he once knew someone who was queer, or he always wanted to write a poem about one of those greek myths that involve trans people but he was too scared to, and etc etc etc. so yeah, he’s a bit of an attention whore, but he would go full ‘damn your eyes’ on anybody who was malicious towards you for your transness, 100%.
julian
with a crass, in poor taste joke, confusion, and then acceptance. basically how julian responds to any semi serious situation. he’d make some awful joke, maybe about cross-dressing, and then after learning more about what being trans actually means he’d come around. i don’t think he’d apologize (does he ever, like fr lol) (love him but 🤨), but he would probably say it makes sense that you’re a man/woman/nb, because of x y z behavior (which is stereotyping, but like at least he has the general idea & he’s trying) and then he’d make a conscious effort to never use your old name again.
fanny
similarly to the way she reacted when the lesbian couple was married at button house. she’d be aghast & outraged for like five minutes, ranting around the house about how true gentlemen/ladies don’t exist anymore in this modern age and etc etc but by the next day or so, she’d sheepishly apologize and ask you some questions about it. from then on she’d be quietly supportive in her own way, like automatically correcting when someone misgenders you & then never bringing up the incident; even when you thank her she’d be like ‘what on earth are you talking about, (chosen name)!’
pat
exactly how any ultra-supportive dad would react. pat would make it his personal mission to affirm your identity & make you feel comfortable and safe regarding your transness. he would also definitely throw you a surprise party in celebration of your coming out, complete with ‘it’s a boy/girl/baby (if you’re nb)’ banners courtesy of alison. he would be so touched that you trusted him with this information & more proud of you than he could ever say in words. (he’d also excitedly tell you facts about 80s queer icons that you already knew, but you’d pretend not to just to humor him.) (‘wow, freddie mercury was bi?! 😮’)
robin
honestly the best to come out to imo. robin’s been around a long time; this has made him incredibly kind & understanding. humanity’s stereotypes & societal pressures are born & die just as fast as people do, and he’d tell you as much (in his own robin way). humanity’s prejudices are much the same & robin has no time for that bullshit. he’d always be there if you needed a shoulder to cry on, and would passionately defend you and your identity should the occasion arise, no matter what.
the captain
instantly eager to assist you in any way possible. “it was very sharp of you to come to me with this. there’s so much to be done. we must change all of your legal documents at once, not to mention the wardrobe issue. hmm..patrick! assemble the troops!” he’d take charge immediately as though the only reason you came out to him was because you couldn’t handle transitioning by yourself & needed someone to be in charge. he accepts you right away too, though, so it’s no bother to you that he’s being his usual bossy, captain-y self. also he’d respond as though an actual crime had been committed if anyone gave you shit for being trans.
kitty
the definition of ‘little confused but got the spirit’. she’d probably think you mean you want to play dress up with her, and she’d be so excited she wouldn’t be able to focus on any explanations being offered by the other ghosts or alison. (& i know the ghosts couldn’t even play dress up if they wanted to, but do you think this fact would stop kitty from trying??? absolutely not) eventually, though, pat would gently explain it to her & she would support you whole-heartedly. (she’d still be totally confused though, bless her)
mary
literally would have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. “what be a transgender?!?” it would take the better part of a day to explain it all to her, but i do think she’d eventually understand, at least better than kitty. she’d probably be worried you’d be burned for it at first, and might even discourage your transition goals because of it, but once you reassured her that times have changed, she’d be happy to support you.
humphrey
i’m headcanoning this headless man as a trans man & no one can stop me. honestly, now that i think about it, humphrey gives off some serious t-boy swag vibes. i feel like you’d tell him you’re trans & he’d be like “ah so that’s what they’re callin it now” & boom, y’all are best friends. i can hear you in the replies now, ‘but they didn’t have access to hrt back then - !’ well pffpffpff, i don’t care. humphrey is trans now. you’re welcome.

New(ish) FNAF Au
Do you ever come up with a new AU and go "This is awesome! I can't believe I'm the first to think this up!" and then you do research and you aren't the first, or anywhere near the first to think it? Yeah, that happened to me.
So... yeah. This is a 'William was never the killer' AU. In fact, the actual murderer was Henry Emily. Well, I mean... sort of. He didn't kill Charlie, of course. Let's get into this.
Charlotte Emily was murdered by some random drunk from out of town. The man's wife had cheated on him and he got blackout drunk. After the initial murder, this man is no longer important and can be ignored. All you really need to know is he never confessed to what he did, so the mystery of Charlie's death became a cold case.
Henry Emily is pissed off that his daughter, his only family, is now dead. You see, Henry's wife left him after Sammy died in a car accident. The people driving the two cars were Mrs. Emily and someone who also died in the crash. Mrs. Emily divorced her husband and later confided in friends that she thought he was going to kill her. She also reveals that Henry is very mentally unstable.
Moving on, Henry decides to get revenge on the people who put his daughter outside. As it turns out, three boys locked Charlotte outside while two girls distracted people from what was happening. (La Missing Children) Henry is fucking pissed and is ready to pick off these kids one by one, but he pauses for a moment and thinks.
Henry isn't just gonna put on the Fredbear suit and murder kids, it would be obvious that it was him wearing the suit. (Also, the spring locks are unstable in Fredbear because Henry isn't as stuck up about maintenance as William is about SpringBonnie. This is the reason that Evan's tears triggered the jaws to clamp down a few months prior.)
Henry decides to wear William's spring lock suit. And so, the yellow rabbit lures five children to their deaths. These kids never realize that it was Henry instead of William. Therefore, the kids go all vengeful spirit on Afton.
Now, you may be wondering, "Why would Charlie help the missing kids possess robots and murder her dad?" Well, she also doesn't realize that William didn't kill her or the others. It was a dark, foggy, and rainy night. Charlie could only make out the man's heavy breathing, dark shirt, pale skin, and slurred cursing.
In fact! Charlie only started suspecting her murderer to be William after the Missing Children Incident. All the cops were saying William must have done it (despite lack of evidence) and her dad was saying he suspected William also killed her (despite the fact he was inside doing maintenance in the back, and the fact Henry had said nothing on that matter when initially asked by the cops the night his daughter died). So... yeah. Charlie is confused and upset.
Anyways, in this AU, the Funtimes were never meant to kill. What happened to Elizabeth was an accident and an actual malfunction. The compartment within the Funtimes was made as an earlier version of Glamrock Freddy's stomach storage. The claw was made so Baby could reach things a little farther away and pull them into her compartment. Baby counting the children was a safety feature to make sure no children went missing ever again.
William was distraught and broken when his daughter died. He felt like he was betrayed by practically everyone in his life. Henry called him a murderer, his wife left him (suicide), Michael accidentally ended Evan's life, and now his own creation had killed his daughter. Really, all he had left was Michael, and his relationship with his son had been strained since allegations of William being a murderer first started being tossed around.
Later on, after he realizes the animatronics are haunted, William tries to free the missing children from their metal prisons. Their angry spirits chase him into the back room, where he puts on the SpringBonnie outfit in an attempt to feel any comfort in that morbid moment. And then the final betrayal of William's life happens. The spring locks fail and William's creation kills him.
Michael goes along his journey through the games as normal, except in this world he is a pawn in Henry's sick game. After Michael is scooped and Ennard leaves, I personally like to think that the remnant begins to heal him. So, when we finally get to the fire and he is wearing a mask, it is so that none of the animatronics recognize him and get suspicious. It is not because he is a zombie boy.
Henry's speech is mostly BS because he is a psychopath. The part for Charlie is the only part that really holds any truth on how he feels. But yeah, Cassidy drags William into a personal hell because she is clueless and William is this AU's biggest scapegoat. We are going to completely ignore the canon of Help Wanted, Security Breach, and Ruin. None of that happened in this AU, except for the fact that some psycho dressed up in her fursona and started murdering kids at her job.
But yeah, that's my new goofy little AU. Except, a ton of other people thought of it first, just slightly different.

Anthony’s Stupid Daily Blog (195): Mon 26th Sep 2022
Got a call early this morning from Dad asking if I would go to see Nana Jenny at the retirement home because he had injured his back bowling with Lacey and couldn't do it today. When I came into the home Jenny was stood in the office talking to one of the staff member and she saw me in my motorcycle jacket, trousers and baseball cap and got a bit of a shock and for a few seconds she didn't recognize me. She took me to her room and we had a chat but because her memory is starting to fade she kept forgetting that the person she'd seen in the hallway was me and so for the rest of the day she kept saying to me "That guy in the hallway was massive wasn't her?". Don't think that she's far gone though because outside of the occasional bit of confusion she's still fairly switched on. She told me the names of all the cast members on this cooking show that we watched and accurately remembered stuff that happened the last time Dad and I were there. She's also retained her sense of humour because at one point she looked over to the little Elvis teddy she has sat on her bed and said "What are you looking at?" then looked back at me and smiled. I think she still thinks that she's eventually going back to her bungalow but sadly that isn't possible because the doctors have said this would be too dangerous for her and have determined that she needs constant supervision. It's really upsetting seeing anyone suffering from dementia but all we can hope is that it progresses as slowly as possible and that we get many more years with Jenny. Who knows maybe in the years to come they might develop the treatment that slows it down even further. After an hour Jenny told me that I would have to go because she had to be somewhere. I thought that this might just be another delusion but it turned out that every day at three they have a group meetup in the lounge where the residents can chat to each other. I hugged her goodbye and said that I'd see her soon and I plan on keeping this promise to her. Dad goes down there twice a week so I'll ask if it's okay if I start meeting him there so we can all spend some time together. Even though Jenny really annoys Dad he always makes her laugh and you can tell her spirits are raised after she gets a visit from the family. Tonight before bed I watched the zombie film Dead and Buried.
Of all the zombie films I've seen so far for this, Dead and Buried is probably the most radical departure I've seen from both the original voodoo slave and the bloodthirsty flesh-eater. It blends in science fiction elements more than any other zombie picture I've seen and cleverly unravels it's plot piece by piece and I was intrigued throughout. I really like the pacing and time of this film. When people go to see horror movies I think people have a tendency to try and predict when the scary scene is going to be. Gary Sherman was clearly aware of this and so does his best to try and second guess the audience. For example the opening scene in the beach is shot is like a made for TV romance drama and I think the reason behind being as melancholy as possible to make the lower it's collective guard so they will shit myself when something scary happens. With this in mind I subconsciously was keeping my guard up convinced that a jump scare was coming but then the interactions between Freddie and "Lisa" go on for quite a while and then had me convinced that this movie was going to be a slow burner with the scares coming later in the movie. With this in mind I lowered my guard and naturally this is when the scare happened. Granted most film-goers aren't as easily fooled as I am but I'd wager a lot of people watching the film were tricked just like I was. Another ingenious bit of timing happens not long after this when the guy in the overturned car screams. If I'd been watching this in the cinema it would have made me jump and I wouldn't be surprised if the makers of Se7en saw this scene. What's great about the positioning of this scene so soon after the burning alive scene is that we've just seen something incredibly gruesome so we've convinced ourselves that another scary moment won't be along for a little while and then we immediately get proven wrong. Cleverly the director also manages to get us to do the exact opposite, namely convince us that a character will meet with a brutal climax only for them to escape thus releasing the tension in the audience. I was genuinely surprised the family survived the encounter in the house (even if they are found dead the next morning). Finally a twist ending on top of another twist ending? Sherman never stops trying to outfox the audience . With regards to the amount of gore in the film the special effects team really stepped things up to make the kills and gore as realistic as possible. Also on a bit of a side note Gary Sherman purposely avoided letting the color red be visible in any scene, so the sight of blood during the murder sequences would be all the more shocking. This is a really good idea and shows that the director wasn't resting on his laurels trying to get the film out as quick as possible, he actually took time to think of ways to make each scene as effective as possible. A similarly great creative decision is the constant presence of fog in the village. It's a great way to step up the tension from the standard zombie flick. "How can we make them more scary? Well what if the people can't see them?". The rebuilding of the corpse scene is absolutely tremendous, a real highlight of the picture as it reveals so much about the plot and the characters and just let's us sit back and marvel at the sheer amount of work that has gone into this movie. I love the fact that a lot of the budget clearly went on the effects but they didn't let the fact they had a good effects guy make them think they could just rest on their laurels and neglect other elements of the movie like plot, direction and action.
The performances are really good especially that of Jack Albertson AKA Grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka (and the Twilight Zone episode The Shelter) as Dobbs. Albertson was terminally ill with cancer all through filming but you wouldn't know it as he still puts in a really focused and at times theatrical performance. James Farentino is really good in the film too particularly after he finds out what's going on with Dobbs and has a Harry Angel in Angel Heart-esque breakdown. The level of emotion he puts into the performance (which includes tears in his eyes during his confrontation with Dobbs) is really impressive. It was also cool to see a pre-Freddy Kreuger Robert Englund popping up in the film but to be honest he doesn't do much. Seemingly every minute of screen time that goes by reveals a little more about the mystery of the movie and I was always gripped. This was like the cinematic equivalent of the gameshow Catchphrase where at the end of each player's turn another piece of the big puzzle is revealed. We go from Freddie being murdered under almost cult-like ritualistic circumstances to Freddie turning up good as new at the diner. Then Dean hits someone with his car and their severed arm is still stuck to the grill and after this discovers his wife has a strange fascination with witchcraft. The whole time I was watching the movie and more clues were being revealed I found myself going into detective mode and trying to figure out what was going on which is great for a movie to be able to do because it made me empathize with the main character Dean and experience what he is experiencing. The film does have a few major flaws. Although the majority of the effects are tremendous the acid burn scene looks awful. As the thing was melting I was expecting the character to scream "No that's acid! Please keep that away from my Resusci Annie dummy!". Although the ending is clever I can't say it was entirely surprising but that’s just because I've seen countless other movies and TV episodes with similar if not identical twist endings (The Twilight Zone episode The After Hours being a good example). Also it's a bit hard to imagine that Dan never showed any signs of being a zombie until just after he found out he was one. For instance a piece of his wife's face detaches as soon as Dan touches it proving she is a zombie...so did they never kiss or have sex? Also his hands start to fall apart just after the final reveal so he never once showed any signs of falling apart until just now? Bit of a stretch. A few issues with the story and effects aside this is a brilliant movie. A unique premise with some genuinely interesting twists, spectacular performances and killer effects.
Favourite quotes:
Villagers: Welcome to Potter's Bluff"
Dobbs: I've replaced missing eyeballs with sawdust, used bent aluminum combs as dentures, used the back part of the scalp where there was no front part and folded one hand over waded up newspapers when the other hand had no fingers
Dan: Janet I had some shells in this drawer where are they? Janet: When were you at the beach? Dan: Bullets Janet, Bullets!

Word count: 2k
Part 1
You and Freddie had spent the morning together at his flat. You enjoyed some pancakes together that you had agreed to make, chocolate chip, of course, much to George’s delight when he walked out of his room that morning. You and Fred had decided not to tell anyone that you were together yet, you wanted to see how long it took them to figure out that you had actually started dating. George took a measured glance at the way you were seated, lounging in your chair with your legs across Fred’s lap. You pretended not to notice.
 “So what do the lovebirds have planned today?” He questioned. You just rolled your eyes and replied,
 “Well, I was wanting to help out at the shop for a little bit until Harry can get here to show me around a little more.” George’s eyebrow raised at that
 “Oh? Why isn’t Fred showing you around?” you giggled and rolled your eyes
 “Well he does have a popular business to help run and I would hate to get in the way of that,” you answered teasingly. You didn’t give George the chance to answer instead grabbing the dishes and heading to the sink. “Actually,” you mused, “I think I’ll head out to explore now.” You saw that trepidation on both of their faces. “I’ll be fine really, I just want to explore and discover this new place at my own pace and you need to work” You grabbed your purse and Fred stopped you right before you got to the door, he gave you some money so that you could buy whatever you wanted while you were out and with that you headed out eager to explore this magical new world.
 You found an ice cream shop and a cauldron shop, it felt kind of like a kitchen store just more specialized, you were impressed by the solid gold cauldron wondering what the purpose for it could be. You kept wandering through the increasingly busy streets, passing a robe shop and one that should all types of herbs. You were surprised to note that other than the ice cream shop there weren’t many food businesses and there weren’t any bakeries. You decided to speak with Fred about that when you got back to the shop. You were pulled out of your thoughts by someone calling out your name. You turned and saw your cousin running towards you, you laughed as he pulled you into a hug and swung you around. You were dizzy by the time he set you down, you giggled as you asked
 “What are you trying to make me fall over? What’s the occasion Cousin?” Harry grinned at you, 
“Does there have to be an occasion? I’m just excited to see you again! Plus I’m excited to show you around my world a little bit more, although it seems like you’ve been doing some exploring of your own.” You couldn’t help but look a little bashful at that.
 “I couldn’t help it, it was just such a beautiful morning and there was just so much to see!” He shook his head at your excitement,
 “I understand that completely, I felt the same way the first time I came here. Come on let's go! I have to show you my favorite spots.” You spent the rest of the morning into the afternoon running around with Harry, learning more and more about the wizarding world. As you explored you noticed that there were many shops that were empty and closed, asking Harry about it he explained what happened with the Wizarding war and how it affected Diagon alley and the people that worked there. You asked him about your idea from earlier. Would there be a way to buy one of the old shops and bring a muggle bakery in? He mulled it over for a moment before decisively saying that he couldn’t see why not and that he and Mr. Weasley would love to help you figure out the details of how and where. You headed back to Fred and George’s shop in high spirits debating whether you should talk to Fred about it yet or keep it as more of a secret until you got all of the kinks worked out. Opening the door you couldn’t help the smile that lit your face when you saw Fred in his element, talking with his customers, telling them about all the trouble he and George got into at Hogwarts, convincing them to buy more than they needed or thought that they wanted. You giggled as you watched one of the kids walk by you with a dazed look on his face after talking with Fred, you could relate, you wore a similar look after hanging out with him the first couple of times. You strolled over to him just in time to hear the end of his latest story.
 “And that’s how George and I ended up creating a swamp in the middle of the hallway.” You shook your head at that deciding that you would ask him about it later. He noticed you walking up out of the corner of his eye and turned to smile at you, pulling you to his side as he finished helping the customer. He placed a quick kiss on your head, not being able to help himself. You looked around and saw that George was just leaving the storage room so he probably didn’t see it so you could keep the charade going at least a little bit longer. You murmured that you were going to go put your bags into the apartment upstairs since they were giving a little heavy and he nodded and told you to come back down and find him once you were done. You did just that, taking a moment to check your appearance in the mirror before you headed down, appearances weren’t the most important thing but you knew that you probably looked a little windswept after being outside all morning. You came back down the stairs and started to help George at the cash register, he quickly explained the money system and told you to holler if you needed any help before he ran back into the backroom to restock a couple of the shelves that were currently empty. You were in awe of how well their business was doing and how many people appreciated them bringing joy back to the world. You became determined that you were going to find a way to help them bring that joy back in any way that you could. Mentally setting up a plan for how and where you would put your bakery. Looking around the shop you had ideas for tons more desserts and goodies, wondering if wizards would like the coffee you would make and what new flavors you could experiment with that the wizarding world had. Watching Fred you settled that you would wait to tell him until you were certain it would work. 
The next couple of weeks consisted of you, Arthur, and Harry making and executing the plans for your new shop. You found and bought the empty shop next to the Weasley’s shop, thinking that you could put a doorway between the two so that it would be easier for Fred and you to see each other during the day. It didn’t take long for George to realize that you were up to something so you had to spill the beans and tell him your plan. You were surprised by how excited he was at the prospect and how many ideas he had to make it better. Your secret-keeping came to an end when you had purchased the new place and Harry had helped you set up all of the appliances you would need, Arthur, made sure that it was all perfectly legal and you had a permit as a muggle to have a business in the wizarding world. It was two months since you and Fred had started dating and you were going to show him your shop as an anniversary date. You baked that morning making a couple of your new treat ideas including bread shaped like unicorns and chocolate trolls filled with raspberry compote. You were super nervous about telling him, worried that he would be mad about you keeping it from him, but you didn’t want to get his hopes out before knowing if it would work out. You met up with him around 7 that night, right as their shop was closing. He walked down out of his apartment as soon as you walked in the door. He wasn’t dressed up, he had taken off his suit jacket and vest earlier in the day, but he still looked good in his slacks and white button-down with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. You were dressed in a cute sundress not wanting to look too formal knowing that Fred probably wouldn’t look properly formal until the day he got married. You may have blushed a little when you had that thought. He walked up to you, looking you over he couldn’t help but wonder how he got so lucky, 
“You look beautiful” he breathed out, you blushed even harder at his words
. “Well, you don’t look too bad yourself” you quipped, “are you ready to see my surprise for you?” He flashed you one of his signature grins and told you to lead the way. He couldn’t help his confusion when you lead him out of his shop and into the one next door. You held your breath as you turned the lights on, worried about what his reaction would be. You heard his quick intake when the lights illuminated the space around you. You waited another moment before turning to look at him, his eyes were taking everything in and you waited for him to ask the questions you knew were coming. After taking in the whole room he turned to face you,
 “So is this what you’ve been working on the last 2 months?” he questioned. You looked down stealing yourself to what he would say once he heard your answer. 
“Yes, Harry, your Dad and I have been working on figuring out a way for me to open a bakery in Diagon Alley. They helped me enchant the appliances so that they would work without muggle electricity. I should be able to open in a couple of months, there is still a lot to get done.” You were surprised by the smile that overtook his face at your words,
 “You mean to tell me that in a couple of months you will be working right next to me and living near me? That I will be able to just walk next door to see you and not have to worry about exploding magic to muggles?” his smile grew when you nodded “This is the best gift you could have ever gotten me!” He pulled you into a tight hug and you realized that there was no one else that you would want to be with not when the man in front of you was so excited for you to get to do your passion. You felt the tears well up in your eyes from how happy you were to have him in your life. You looked in his eyes and declared that you were done hiding your relationship from his family, that you wanted to go to the weekly Weasley dinner that night and let them know that you were together and couldn’t be happier. He grabbed your hand and apparated you to the garden outside the burrow. Giving you a quick kiss to fortify you he opened the door and walked into the Burrow with your hands intertwined. You laughed at Mrs. Weasley’s reaction and how she was so excited for you to be a part of the family, you and Fred blushed at that. You were swarmed by the rest of the Weasleys and were so overwhelmed that you almost didn’t see Harry handing over a galleon to George. Almost

The Ghosts of His Past
Part 2 to: Don't Release The Spirits! Link
William develops a relationship with the 5 ghost kids he originally killed. They spend time together, play games, and comfort each other when they're down. But another ghost comes out from the shadows, and immediately contradicts everything William had built up...
There is implied child murder, discussions about child murder, and implied suicide. If any of these topics bother you, you can either click off or read at your own risk.
It is still unknown whether a person’s soul lingers with their physical body. So far, the kids’ circumstance has proven it doesn’t. William had realized that despite the kids’ bodies being taken and properly dealt with for their funerals, their souls were no longer linked to their bodies long after being killed. The only body that still really existed within the Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria building, was William’s body. But that was only because his body was hidden too well for them to find. No one could tell that there was a body in that suit, unless they looked at the blood or actually opened the suit head. But William was a little nervous for that day to come. What if his soul was still linked to his body? And if so, then what would happen if he could feel the suit head being pulled off of him?! The thought terrified him.
It terrified him so much that he would spend some time just floating in the storage room, staring at the suit with blood surrounding it.
Today was one of those days where William would do this. He would just stare...stare until he couldn’t stare anymore. Soon, another ghost came floating through the door. “Hi William.” someone greeted.
William knew exactly who it was. “Hi Cassidy.” William replied. Cassidy was the only ghost that hasn’t called him Dad yet. She preferred to go by ‘Uncle William’ or ‘William’, depending on her mood during the day.
“Staring at your body again?” Cassidy asked. William gave her a slight nod. “Why? It’s just gonna make you feel worse.” Cassidy told him. “We didn’t spend hours looking at our bodies. Sure, we didn’t get to see them very much. But we didn’t dedicate time to stare at our bodies like you do.” Cassidy told him.
William sighed and rubbed his forehead. “I know.” William replied. “I know it’s just gonna make my thoughts whirl again. But...I’m nervous.” William admitted.
“Nervous you’re gonna feel your unconscious body’s pain?” Cassidy asked.
William looked at Cassidy and nodded.
Cassidy floated over to the body and dug her hand into the suit. William widened his eyes. “What- HEY! DON’T!” William shouted, before tensing up for the pain that was gonna hit him.
...But…
Nothing happened. William opened one eye and opened both when he realized Cassidy was still digging around. There was nothing. No pain. “...Wait…” William muttered, confused.
Cassidy removed her ghost hand and turned around. “See?” Cassidy revealed, showing her hands.
But...there was one tiny problem: her hands weren’t bloody.
“Why aren’t they bloody?” William asked. “And...If you’re a ghost, are you even able to interfere with my physical body?” William asked.
To further prove William wrong, Cassidy dug into the suit again and ripped out some wires and...Oh god...Was that-
William widened his eyes in horror and disgust. But...she was right. He wasn’t experiencing pain. “...Wow.” William reacted, looking down at himself. Nothing of his ghost body had changed.
“Now do you see?” Cassidy asked, throwing the mixed handful of guts aside. “No pain, no worries.” Cassidy replied. Even as she ridded her hand of the guts, her ghost hands were not covered in blood. Only the guts themselves were slightly bloody.
Cassidy floated to William. “Now come: You have a family to come home to.” Cassidy encouraged, grabbing his hand and floating through the door together.
Even though William’s body was still technically connected to the springtrap suit, William was still capable of moving away from the suit and onto the stage whenever he pleased. This stage became William and the kids’ shelter during their time spent in purgatory. So, that’s where they headed. William and Cassidy flew themselves through the stage curtains and observed the cute scenes within the stage: The kids had made 2 separate forts out of the worn out pair of torn red curtains that had been previously discarded in the storage room. They had multiple dining room chairs set up to keep the curtains up, and had half-deflated balloons as pillows for their forts. They had also hung up party banners as the fort curtain entrances, and used the leftover party hats to make their forts look more castle-like on the top.
“Sir Gabriel! The Mighty Men have broken our entrance walls!” Fritz told Susie.
“Oh no! I will start repairs right away!” Susie declared.
“But your Majesty! You’re the queen! How will you repair the walls if I’m fighting?” Fritz asked.
Cassidy smiled and grabbed the toolbox hammer. “Worry not, Soldier Fritz! I, The handy girl, is here to fix your walls!” Cassidy declared.
“Hallelujah!” Fritz declared.
Susie pouted. “I wanna fix the wall! Being a queen is boring. You can’t do anything!” Susie whined.
“You can help me, if you want to.” Cassidy offered. “I’ll let you hold the hammer too.” Cassidy offered.
Susie gasped and held her hands out for the hammer. Cassidy handed the hammer to her, and watched as the hammer weighed Susie right down to the ground. The hammer was just too heavy for her ghost hands to carry.
This ended up being a hilarious thing for William to watch: he let out a short laugh in reaction. Suddenly, Susie looked at William! “DAD’S BACK!” Susie shouted, throwing the hammer to the side and floating quickly to William. Cassidy yelped in surprise and tensed up for the hammer to hit her on the chest…
...Only for the hammer to float right through her body.
Cassidy opened her eyes and observed the hammer that was floating below her footless bottom. “...Oh.” She reacted. She had managed to forget she was a ghost and couldn’t actually get injured by physical objects.
William lifted Susie up and hugged her happily. “Hello Susie! Having fun?” William asked.
“Yes! We’re playing a game where a girl kingdom and a boy kingdom are fighting to take over the other!” Susie explained.
William giggled. “Yeah? Who’s winning so far?” He asked.
“THE BOYS!’ Jeremy yelled, sitting on the ‘throne’.
Fritz and Gabriel were doing a sword fight with wooden sticks and were being cheered on by Susie and Jeremy. It didn’t take long for the kids to throw their sticks back to their forts and for the kids to start wrestling.
“YES! SHOW FRITZ WHO’S BOSS!” Jeremy shouted.
“KICK HIM IN THE CROTCH, FRITZ!” Susie yelled.
“I CAN’T KICK HIM IN THE CROTCH! HE FEELS NO- EEK!” Fritz shouted to Susie, before being shoved to the ground by Gabriel.
“A-HA! I’ve GOT YOU NOW!” Gabriel declared.
“Not for long!” Fritz declared, before reaching her arm up to tickle him.
“Nope!” Gabriel declared, pushing her arm down. Fritz reached her other arm up. “Not happening!” Gabriel declared again, pushing her other arm down. But that didn’t stop the girl from leaning forward and blowing a raspberry on his neck! “BWAAAAHAHAHAHA!” Gabriel let go and floated away quickly. But Fritz was already up and chasing him! “WAIT! NO! FRITZ! STOP IT! EEEK!” Gabriel shouted amidst his quick ‘running’.
“Wow! For a person who’s part of the man side, you sure scream like a girl. Maybe you should join us!” Fritz suggested.
“NO! NEVER! I AM A BIG BOY!” Gabriel argued.
Fritz soon caught up to him and pinned him down. “About as big as a school desk.” Fritz replied with a smirk as she wiggled her fingers at him.
“Hey! That’s mean! I’m taller than a desk!” Gabriel argued.
“Fine. How about this: As big as a teacher’s desk?” Fritz offered.
Gabriel thought for a moment, and slowly nodded. “Okay. I can see tha- YAAAHAHAHAHA! EEEHEHEHEHEHE! FRIHIHIHIHITZ!” Gabriel shouted, laughing hysterically as Fritz drilled near his hips.
“Yes soldier?” Fritz replied.
“STAHAHAP TIHIHIHICKLIHIHING MEHEHEHEHE!” Gabriel begged.
“Do you accept defeat? Do the girls win this war?” Fritz asked.
“IHIHIHI…” Gabriel replied, not really sure what to do.
“DON’T GIVE UP, GABRIEL!” Jeremy called to him. “YOU CAN DO IT!”
“KEEP TICKLING HIM, FRITZ! GO FOR HIS NECK AGAIN!” Susie cheered on.
William was just giggling to himself as he watched the whole thing. If only the world wars had been fought like this...There would’ve been next to no bodies to clean up.
“OHOHOKAHAHAHAY! IHIHI GIHIHIHIVE UHUHUP! GIHIHIHIRLS WIHIHIHIN!” Gabriel finally gave up.
“Awwww…” Jeremy whined.
“YES! GIRLS WON! WE WON! GIRLS RULE! BOYS DROOL!” Susie shouted, standing up from her throne and jumping around.
William smirked and walked up behind her. “Now you be careful what you’re saying, Susie bear…” William warned with a hint of playfulness in his voice.
Susie’s cheering quickly paused as she realized who was behind her. Susie turned around and looked up to William. “...Oops.” Was all Susie said.
“Come here you!” William declared before picking her up. Susie let out giggles and quickly bursted out laughing as William lightly squeezed her lower ribs and skittered his fingers all over her belly. “Tickatickatickatickatickatick- atickatickatickatickatick!” William teased super quickly.
“EEEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHA! DAHAHAHAD NOHOHOHOHO!” Susie laughed.
“Dad nooo? That’s cute. Looks like poor Susie should’ve thought about that before you said that boys drool.” William suggested.
“BOYS! THE TICKLE MONSTER HAS SUSIE! DOGGIE PIIIILLLLE!” Fritz shouted.
Suddenly, there was a war cry of 4 other kids floating up to him super quickly before kitty slapping him. Though it took Cassidy’s hand to get William onto the ground, the kids did manage to get William down so they could doggy pile him.
“Help! I’m being doggy piled! aaAAAAH! Hahahaha! Ahahand tihihickled! HAHAHAhahaha!” William fake yelled, quickly falling into giggles and laughter.
“TICKLE ATTACK!” Cassidy declared before tickling his ribs and sides.
William squealed and bursted out laughing almost immediately. The kids quickly joined in, tickling his armpits, his hips, his feet, and his neck. Fritz had started going for the abs as well, which ended up being the best choice she’s ever made. “HAHAHAHAHA! NOHOHO AHAHAHABS! NOHOHOHOHOHO AHAHAHAHABS!” William screamed.
“Oooh! A keypad!” Fritz declared. Fritz started poking and pressing roughly on the abs like a telephone keypad. “Beep beep beep, beep beep beep, beep beep beep beep!” Fritz teased. William threw his head back and bursted into cackles. Fritz made her hand into a phone symbol. “Hello? Oh HI! Is this the tickle monster?” Fritz teased, looking at William from the corner of her eye.
“STAHAHAHAP IHIHIHIT!” William begged.
“Perfect! He is here, and ripe for the tickling.” Fritz replied to the fake voice on the other line.
“COHOHOME OHOHON GUHUHUYS! IHIHIHI NEHEHEED AHA BREHEHEHEAK!” William begged.
Jeremy and Susie both bursted out laughing. “No you don’t! You’re a ghost just like us! You don’t need air!” Gabriel argued amidst his own laughing.
William looked at himself and realized: Yeah...he’s right. “BUHUHUHUT STIHIHIHILL! IHIHI’M GOHOHONNA GEHEHEHET YOHOU GUYS BAHAHAHACK!” William told them.
Susie giggled. “I know.” She replied.
Suddenly, Fritz started clawing and spidering her fingers all over William’s abs! “eeEEEEHEHEHEHEHE! HAHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOHO SPIHIHIDERIHIHIHIHIHING!” William pleaded.
“Is poor Papa afraid of spiders?” Fritz teased.
“AHAHAHA LIHIHIHITTLE.” William replied.
“Oh no!” Fritz reacted, looking at the other kids with a wink. “Guess we’d better get more spiders crawling around, then.” Fritz replied, wiggling her fingers like spiders to show the kids what to do.
William’s eyes widened in fear as he stared at the kids’ signalling. He knew EXACTLY what they were planning, and he knew he was gonna love it, AND hate it all at once. Suddenly, all 5 kids spidered their fingers all over William’s sides, belly, ribs, hips, armpits and neck. William was laughing and wiggling around absolutely everywhere! It was hilarious for the kids to see him wiggling around like a fish out of water, and even MORE hilarious watching him wave away the spiders that weren’t really spiders.
“Hmm? What’s going on?” a voice asked. The kids suddenly stopped their tickle attack and looked to their right:
There, rubbing their eye, was the ghost of a tiny girl with long brown hair, and a red wound on the right side of her right chest. The rest of the ghosts flew over to her.
“Hi Charlie!” Cassidy greeted.
“Sorry Charlie.” Susie immediately apologized.
William was still quite giggly from the tickle attack. He was holding himself in the fetal position and letting out the leftover giggles that were still in his lungs. He didn’t even realize there was another ghost on the stage.
Charlie smiled at the two forts. “I see you guys are having fun.” Charlie said to them.
“We were playing war kingdoms!” Jeremy declared.
“And the girls won!” Susie added.
Charlie giggled. “That’s great!” she said.
Soon, William finally calmed down enough to sit himself up. “Who’s he-” William paused his words when he realized just who he was looking at. She was completely familiar to him. He knew this ghost all to well. But...How did…
Charlie turned to look at William and widened her eyes as well. She backed up slightly gasped in fear. “Get behind me.” Charlie ordered the rest of the ghosts.
“It’s okay, Charlie. He’s-” Jeremy tried.
“Behind me. Now.” Charlie ordered again, glaring at Jeremy.
Jeremy, and the rest of the ghosts went behind Charlie before Charlie threw her arms out to the side to guard them from the murderer. “Uncle. William. Afton.” Charlie said slowly, her strong voice covering up the fear she felt. “Father to Elizabeth and Michael...Best friends with my Father...And Co-founder of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.” Charlie explained.
William snapped out of his thoughts. “I...Charlotte-”
“CHARLIE.” she shot back.
William backed up slightly in fear, and looked away for a moment. “Ch...Charlie.” He said, growing more and more afraid of her.
Charlie noticed this and lightened up her facial expression. “Afraid?” Charlie asked.
William nodded his head. “And confused. I killed you outside the building. Why would you cling to the building?” William asked.
“You think I had a choice?” Charlie asked. She looked at the music box and pointed to it. “My soul possessed one of your animatronics.” Charlie explained. “That kept my soul in the Pizzeria.” She explained. “These souls possessed your animatronics too.” Charlie explained.
She started pointing to the kids and stating which animatronic they became.
She pointed to Jeremy first. “Bonnie.” Charlie said.
She pointed to Gabriel. “Freddy Fazbear.” Charlie said.
She pointed to Susie. “Chica.” Charlie said.
She pointed to Fritz. “Foxy.” Charlie said.
She pointed to Cassidy. “Golden Freddy.” Charlie said.
And lastly, she pointed to herself. “Marionette.” Charlie said.
William’s eyes widened in horror.
Then, Charlie looked to the souls. “You guys were tickling him. Spending time with him. Treating him...like he didn’t end your lives.” Charlie reacted calmly.
William looked away.
Fritz stepped up. “He feels remorse for what he did.” Fritz told her. “He apologized for ending our lives. The reason why he did it was because he wanted his own family.” Fritz explained.
William tensed his face. Charlie frowned and looked at William. “You had your own family! What was wrong with the family you had?!” Charlie asked.
William looked away.
“And I still don’t understand why you killed me.” Charlie added.
Fritz’s eyes widened. “He killed you too?!” Fritz reacted.
“Yes. I was his first murder.” Charlie replied.
“...Oh.” Fritz replied.
“...Well, he’s dead now too.” Gabriel told her.
“How? And why here, surrounded by the ghosts of the children you killed?” Charlie asked.
William looked up a little, but still refused to look at her. “I springlocked myself.” He replied. “I triggered the springlock suit in the office, and...died.” William replied.
“Why?” Charlie asked. “Did you finally feel bad about all the crimes you committed? Did you feel like you couldn’t handle jail life?” Charlie asked.
William slightly smiled. “I ended my life because I had nothing else left to lose.” William replied. “My daughter is dead, my youngest is dead, and my wife is dead too. Michael is the only one living at this point. Living with the guilt of his family, and struggling to make his own life out of the rubble I left him in.” William explained.
Charlie lifted her eyebrows slightly. “And how in the world did all that occur? Hm?” Charlie asked.
William frowned and glared at her. “You don’t deserve to know.” William shot at her. “I want you to know that keeping your death nice and quick was a mercy move I purposefully made. Your murder could’ve been much more painful.” William told her.
Charlie’s eyes widened in surprise. Did...did he really just say that? “And how was a 3 year old supposed to know that the way you killed me, was ‘merciful’?! How would you feel if my father came up behind you with a knife and ended your life without a second thought?!” Charlie yelled.
William softened his expression a little and looked away. He knew Charlie would be hurt. He knew Charlie would be angry at him if they reunited. He knew this all along. But William didn’t know that Charlie had become one with the pizzeria. He never knew.
...Perhaps he should’ve...

Can you give an excerpt (is that the word?) or a pic from the book about Hannibal and Clarice's little date thing? I'm intrigued lol
Oh lol I'm honestly still reading it! Thank you for facilitating my venting though, and I will gladly share my incomplete knowledge. I haven't even finished this scene, which continues into another chapter. I had to take a break and cool my head because it makes me want to gag like I was a 5 year old with an aversion to kissing scenes (which is not usual for me. I just. I don't know about this). I could take the time to finish reading it in the time I'm writing this buuuut I'm too heated to do so atm, even though it would spare me the embarrassment of having very incomplete context. I don't even know whether Thomas Harris intends for the reader to want them together, but his treatment of Hannibal Lecter has generally verged on salivating over him, imo, so. I'm gonna take it as implied that I should like this a bit more than I do. I could be very wrong. Under the cut because it is a Rant
-----
I’ve got the fun wacky stuff first because this book is Wild. Bonkers. Then I have semi serious stuff and Thoughts thoughts in the second half 
-------------------
WACKY FUN STUFF PART
it is So over the top corny. Highlights so far:
-Hannibal is playing the harpsichord when Clarice walks out. In other scenes he’s played his theremin. He is insufferable
- the piece he's playing is called ‘If True Love Reigned’ and was composed by Henry VIII, which is a red flag if ever I heard one
-he dresses up in white tie for her and spends FOREVER decorating the house *just so* and inspecting the dinner table from various angles to check whether the Aesthetic is right, because the house he's rented out is only so-so and he's gotta make up for it:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I mean. He decides to add a shit ton of flowers to make it intimate and create a hanging gardens effect, realizes that this looks bad, and decides that the solution is More flowers. Maybe he’s right, but I think with the rest of the decorations this is probably looking like a mess right now.
-Uhhh if I remember correctly from the Freudian Daddy Issues chapter (hhhhh I want to have a word with Thomas Harris), the reason he makes the peonies in the flower arrangement “white as SNO BALLS” is because she has some sort of (dad-related) childhood memories about these fucking Hostess twinkie-level snacks. There are Levels to his floral arrangements
-Similarly, the cocktails he prepares for them have orange slices on the side because it’ll remind her of her father slicing oranges and Hannibal wants to be daddy
-The landlord he’s renting the house from (where he’s keeping Clarice and holding Date Night) has a fixation on Leda and the Swan, to the point that he has four statues of it and eight paintings of it in that one house alone. Hannibal likes the horniest one with the best “anatomical articulation.” Make of that what you will. There was indeed a reason for Bryan Fuller including such a pussy out painting in the set for Hannibal’s dining room. Hannibal covers the other Leda statues and paintings that don’t live up to his standards
- He brings her clothes to wear?? Special Fancy clothes for Date Night. Ugh. And I thought it was pushy and anal in SOTL when he gave her tips on how to improve her fashion
- Hannibal wears an ascot over a white shirt. No jacket. I don't know if I trust the taste level of this man. I like Freddy from scooby doo but his look seems like a stretch in this context
-he uses candelabra like he's the phantom of the opera and has this incredibly fucking extra mirror in his rented house:
Tumblr media
-he tells her his goals for the evening in one of the trademark Long Confusing Hannibal Monologues we’re so used to seeing in the show, then asks Clarice if she understands, and her response is: no I don’t so I hope your food is good at least
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual Serious Thoughts about it  (content warning: some vaguely psychosexual things involving characters’ family, drugging and non-sexual consent issues)
I think my reaction is definitely influenced by the context that's been presented so far for their relationship in this book, which includes (briefly):
--Hannibal has a fixation on Clarice as a potential replacement for/idealized version of Mischa, his dead sister. The moment he lays eyes upon her again in this book he starts having uncontrollable flashbacks that directly associate Clarice with Mischa and overlays their meanings and iconography. So... that's something. It shows up constantly whenever we get a glimpse into his POV. I have thoughts about what Hannibal finds appealing about Clarice RE as an idealized version/teacup reversal of Mischa; the book tells us he admires her courage and her spirit as a warrior despite having been victimized, and so Clarice is in some ways a version of Mischa that was capable of surviving despite the odds. That was (crudely) my working theory, anyway. Might have to reevaluate that now because I'm less certain now about Hannibal's intentions and how much his appreciation for Clarice is really *respectful* of her potential, versus how much he sees her as some sort of vehicle to replace Mischa and be some sort of walking talking idealized doll that he crafts into his dead sister. I wanted it to not be *as* weird and psychosexual as I thought it would end up being, but this book definitely leans into some weird sexualized Freudian shit, and I'm concerned that Mischa and Clarice are part of that despite my best efforts to rationalize it in a way that I would have preferred. Really, who fantasies about their lover being a reminder of their sister?
--Freudian hell part 2: Hannibal has rescued Clarice from the Verger farm (after she rescued him, which was quite dramatic) and has her drugged at his house and undergoing the type of hypnosis we see suggested with Will and Miriam Lass in NBC!Hannibal. Hannibal suggests things, she follows those suggestions with apparently little agency of her own. He probes into her history and traumas and causes her to see things. Among his goals here is to have her make peace with her dead father in some way (in a scene which strongly resembles Abigail's therapy with GJH's corpse as seen in the s3 flashbacks), and to give her some form of control over her memory of him. This is accompanied by some very squicky speculation from Hannibal about Clarice having taboo sexual associations with her father, which she projects (among other things) onto other father figures in her life like Jack Crawford or her fallen FBI partner. I didn't know before I got into this book whether it was going to legitimize the Electra complex angle on Clarice this much, and maybe I'm wrong to accept Hannibal's viewpoint as sacred, but. So far, that seems to be the take.
----
So that's the context for the leadup to this romantic dinner scene. Hannibal has decorated his house specially for this date night type thing and given her a slinky, fancy dress to wear in his fancy house. Clarice has been heavily under the influence of drugs so far, and this night is no exception. This chapter so far has been a treasure trove of the more romantic dialogue repurposed for NBC!Hannibal, but I kind of can't stand it here in this book as anything remotely romantic. It's almost entirely him talking *at* her and it seems like this is more about him and his idealized fantasy of her than it is actually about her. The text does refer to him as "the monster" more frequently in this chapter, and it calls him out directly for his vanity and self congratulation, so I'm not entirely sure if I'm even supposed to like it, but. Anyway. You asked for excerpts! This particular scene is probably the densest part of a very dense chapter (the highlights are a mess rn):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There's a lot of interesting stuff in here, some of which really raises my hackles in ways I wasn't anticipating. Clarice has just emerged in the outfit he chose for her to join him. Clarice's first question to him is to ask about how much he's invaded her privacy without her knowledge, and he has a very bullshit answer where he pretends that this situation he's manufactured, in which he drugs her and creates a fantasy world for them, is okay because it exists outside of reality. It doesn't. It's an interesting idea but it's bullshit. This is not his memory palace, this is reality and it does exist as a part of time that Clarice has had to experience (or not, as the case may be for her level of consciousness throughout this). And he turns around from this question about him being intrusive to reiterate his attraction to her. Squick at that. Her plain (possibly curt?) answer to his compliment, even though it's a thank you, causes him annoyance. This is where I really, Really start to have, like, flashbacks to Jessica Jones and the playing house plotline. Real strong flashbacks to that. Clarice's (apparently unintentional) failure to meet his standards and reciprocate in the exact way he wants her to makes him Annoyed. Clarice identifies this and holds her ground, interestingly enough, and Hannibal has a moment of awe at her stubborn individuality, but immediately falls back on self congratulatory wanking at his choice of woman. Then, there's more talking at her, to which she eventually says that she basically doesn't know what the fuck he means but she hopes he plans to make dinner worth her while. I appreciate Clarice holding her ground so well here, especially given the circumstances, and I don't know quite where this is headed, but I guess the gist of it is that in this context I just really want to slap Hannibal about and see him burn

OMG YOUR REQUEST ARE OPEN YEAAH, can i request possessive nsfw with freddy (and if not too much, inkubus and buckman) x fem s/o with a soulmate au? I LOVE YOUR BLOG SO MUCH YOUR WRITINGS ARE SO AWESOME💞💞 and sorry for my bad english
Of course, you can, honey! And don’t you ever apologize for how you’re speaking. You’re learning, and that’s all that matters! But if it helps, you’re doing a great job, honey! Since there are many Soulmate AUs that I’ve seen, I’ve just chosen one if that’s alright! ♡ I’ll probably be making a separate part for the possessive part of this ask since I was mainly trying to get down the AU aspect, so I apologize!
Tumblr media
Freddy• Whenever you had slept, your dreams went wild, and sometimes you would catch glimpses of the thing that stalked you. It was hard for you to see what was chasing you since you had only seen small movements from the corner of your eye, but you never saw a face. 
• It got worse and worse as the days progressed, and your friends noticed the change in your face. The black circles under your eyes were getting more and more difficult to hide. “You’re never gonna find your soulmate if you’re always sleeping,” your friend would say, but little did they know that you hadn’t slept in weeks. 
• You thought about that as looked at the bleak black and white world, no colors filling your eyes like it did with others. You envied your mom and dad; they had found one another and your dad had brought color to your mom’s world when she needed it the most. But now, all you wanted was a decent nights sleep. The whole ‘soulmate’ thing everyone went on about was always so cliche and obnoxious, you just wanted sleep.
• The fear welled in your throat as you ran from your unknown assailant, the dark and steamy halls caused your footsteps to echo around you, and all you could do was pray to find a way out. You’ve run out of options as you backed into a corner, and that’s when you heard the heavy footfalls approaching. 
• Your eyes were squeezed shut as they approached, bot wanting to look your death in the eye. Your heart sped up as you could sense them hovering over you, and that’s when you heard the clinking of metal too close for comfort. 
• The snap of metal caused you to open your eyes and look up into the face of your demise, but suddenly there was an explosion of color. You weren’t entirely sure how to react at this moment, but you sat against the wall and stared up into your soulmate’s eyes with the most horrified and amazed expression. 
• The contrasting colors of his sweater hurt your eyes, his melted skin had so many different shades of colors that your brain couldn’t even explain it all to you. But the most horrifying thing was that your soulmate was about to murder you.
Tumblr media
Inkubus • A creature like Inkubus had needed to be reborn every hundred years or so, and his time was coming soon. He had ended up in a large city and claimed many innocent lives, toyed with them like a cat would to a mouse. He enjoyed what he did, and he had usually gotten away with it.
• He had chosen you as his next target without even having to be close to you; he could smell your incredible scent from miles away. You had innocently been having a cup of tea at the local cafe when you had an odd gut feeling all of a sudden. You adjusted your hair and pushed it away from your face as you read your book, the black words not really standing out from the greyed page.
• Your world was void of color and you had just wanted to see the beauty of flowers for the first time in your life. Maybe your soulmate would be holding a bouquet for some reason, and upon seeing them with the bursts of color would brighten your day. You sat there and thought about whoever it could be when you had gotten a call from your mother, asking you to pick up some things for her before your visit today. You agreed with a heavy sigh.
• The demon was keeping close tabs on you as you had begun to drive off from the cafe and could easily keep up with you as he followed, his thoughts solely trained on you, making sure not to lose your scent or he’d have to start all over again. When you had reached the long driveway of the house, that’s when he tried to strike. 
• It was as if he appeared out of thin air as he pushed you against the car door, his hand immediately covering your mouth to repress your screams. You tried to get a good sense of what was going on as your body jumped from the shock, but your eyes met his and that’s when you felt your entire body surge with a jolt of electricity. 
• Your world was no longer the shades of black and grey, it had expanded to the extraordinary colors you had dreamed of seeing for so long. Inkubus was suspicious of your lack of fighting as you just slumped against your car, so he removed his hand from your face and questioned you. 
• “Do you not fear what’s about to happen to you, mortal?” he teased as he glared down at you. When you had suddenly raised your hand, that was when he figured you would try to escape, and he awaited a good struggle, but your hand had gently rested against his face, causing him to pull back. 
• You were both too confused to even consider speaking just yet, but you knew that this man who had just come from nowhere had appeared to you as if fate intervened. You swallowed the lump in your throat and offered a crooked grin. “H-Hi, my name is Y/N…” That’s all you could say, but something about you tickled his curiosity, so maybe he wouldn’t end your life just yet.
Tumblr media
Mayor Buckman • How could you hide such a discovery from your entire group of friends and get away with it? How was it that some old school Southern mayor turned out to be the one to bring color to your life - literally. You and your friends were staying in town just long enough to enjoy their annual Jubilee celebration, so all you had to do was hide it until then.
• When he had personally came to the quarters you and your friends were staying to invite you to dinner, you kept your head bowed the entire time while holding your breath. You wanted to face this and tell him everything, but you had only met the man and knew nothing about him, only that he was very proper, which you had usually been quite the opposite sometimes. You were a free spirit.
• Buckman had found himself staring at you as he watched your interact with the townsfolk or talk to your friends; he was rather curious and dare he say, a bit infatuated. The way you presented yourself was reserved and yet had an undertone of dark humor, you were almost irresistible as there was an invisible pull. 
• You had dressed a bit more nicely since you were having dinner with the mayor and a few of his chosen circle, but you continued to keep your head bowed when in his presence. He noticed but said nothing as your friends all laughed and conversed with Granny Boone and the mayor. You almost slipped up a few times in your own conversation about your newfound sight to color when your friend commented on your dress, your cheeks reddening like crazy. 
• After dinner, you had slipped out quietly to get some uninterrupted fresh air, but you were spooked when someone had stepped up behind you and cleared their throat. The mayor stood there with a small smirk playing at the corner of his mouth as he bowed to you. “So sorry for the intrusion,” he would say gleefully. “It’s been brought to my attention that you clam up a tad when I’m around, was there something I had done to offend you, Y/N?”
• This was a moment you had wished to avoid altogether, but if he even noticed your awkward behavior, maybe you weren’t playing it as cool as you’d hoped. “No, you haven’t done anything of the sort!” you’d stutter and wave your hands dramatically, trying to find a way to slip away again, but you knew there was no escaping this time. “I just…it’s really hard to explain.” He would just laugh and shrug his shoulders. “Try me.”
• He was relentless and wouldn’t let you leave until you told him, and when it was all over, you covered your face and hid your blush, but he stood tall like he usually did and remained silent for a few moments, taking it all in. Buckman tipped your head upward to face him with his index finger and thumb, his eye staring directly into yours as he wore that playful smirk. “Well butter my biscuits, I think we have an interesting night ahead of us, darlin’.”

Can you do a story with Steven and Spinel dressing up as different animals with a nose mask with each of their animal costumes?
AN: Thank you so much for sending this request! I actually had fun doing it! I had to make it Halloween bc tbh I couldn’t imagine them dressing up in animal costumes any other occasion. I hope you like it ^^
“A week! We gave you a whole week! I can’t believe you couldn’t last a week! No, scratch that! I do believe it!”
Spinel rolled her eyes and continued walking towards the Warp Room, tuning out Yellow Pearl’s useless rambling as said gem followed closely behind her with Blue Pearl and Pink Pearl in tow.
“Aw leave her alone, Yellow!” Pink Pearl said, stepping in to defend Spinel as usual. “What’s wrong with wanting to visit a friend?”
“What’s wrong?! What’s wrong!!! I’ll tell you what’s wrong!!! She does this every single day!! ‘Oh where are you going, Spinel?’ ‘I’m going to visit Steven.’ ‘Oh! Has anyone seen Spinel?’ ‘She’s with Steven, my Diamond.’ With that track record, she’s better off living on Earth with him then staying here in Homeworld.”, Yellow Pearl retaliated, very defensively and with her arms crossed.
“Well...uhm..but Spinel,” Pink Pearl began, searching for what to say. After a few more attempts, she gave up, giving Spinel an apologetic look that told her: ‘She does have a point.’
Yellow Pearl beamed upon seeing this and raised her head up in a very haughty manner. She focused her attention on Blue Pearl. “What do you think, Blue?”
“To be quite honest, it really doesn’t bother me at all. It’s cute that she likes visiting him a lot,” she calmly responded with a small smile on her face, “Besides, Yellow, I thought you were happy about Spinel’s daily trips to Earth. You were talking about it the other day.”
Spinel bit down on her lip, stifling a giggle. Behind her, she heard Pink Pearl try to do the same, but she failed and snorted loudly.
An offended look passed through Yellow Pearl’s face and she crossed her arms, huffing. “At first,” she began to defend herself, “But it gets tiring and frustrating when all your Diamond asks you is: ‘Where’s Spinel? Has anyone seen Spinel?’ I was hoping for a week or more of not having to hear that, but our dear Spinel just couldn’t wait at all! Oh, but 6,000 years? She can definitely wait for that long! That’s nothing for her!”
A thick blanket of silence fell upon everyone the moment those words came out of her mouth.
Pink Pearl stood aside with her hand over her mouth. Blue Pearl’s mouth hung slightly open and with her hands, she pushed back her bangs to reveal her eyes, pupils wide in shock.
It took Yellow Pearl only a matter seconds before she realized what she had just said. She began to stutter, desperately looking for an apology.
“Sp-Spinel! I didn’t m-m-mean it—oh my s-stars!”
It was too late. Before she knew it, she was backed up against a tight corner. Spinel loomed over her, tall and intimidating with her hands balled up into giant fists, ready to take aim. Yellow Pearl gulped and instantly shielded her gem with both her hands.
“S-Spinel! Don’t! She didn’t mean it!” Pink Pearl begged, hands outstretched as if she was about to grab Spinel to stop her, but she didn’t. She held back, only hopeful that her words would get to the gem.
They didn’t. Made obvious by Spinel raising her right hand high over her head.
Yellow Pearl shut her eyes tightly and turned her face away, expecting a very painful blow that never came. Instead, she felt a finger flick her nose, making a loud, audible ‘whack!’ sound.
“H-Huh?” She opened her eyes. Spinel’s large, spiraling, magenta-colored eyes, filled to the brim with dark amusement, were the first thing that greeted her.
“Heh,” the gem chuckled and shook her head softly, “Ya really have a big mouth...For a Pearl. Don’t cha?”
Yellow Pearl remained silent and so did everybody else.
Spinel backed up a few steps. With her arms crossed, she shook her head and clicked her tongue in disapproval. “Gee! With that mouth, I’m very much surprised you’ve been able to hold this position of yours as Yellow Diamond’s Pearl for millions of years. You’re darn lucky things have changed now.”
“I-Spinel…”
She didn’t listen to her. Her eyes roamed around until they landed on the giant Warp Pad in the middle of the room and widened as if she just remembered why she came here in the first place. With a hop, she stretched her way on top of said Pad and warped away without saying anything.
Whatever fear Yellow Pearl had shivering within her disappeared the moment Spinel left and she rolled her eyes, letting out a tremendous sigh. “‘You’re darn lucky things have changed now!’ Bleh!” She mocked, sticking out her tongue.
It went back in the moment Pink Pearl jabbed her elbow into her side.
—-
“Ta-da!! Our last pumpkin for tonight! What do you guys think?” Steven exclaimed with a wide, joyful smile on his face. In his arms, he cradled a large Jack-O-Lantern with a pair of monster eyes and sharp teeth.
“It looks great!” Connie complimented as she walked over and grabbed it from him. She settled it inside the red wagon, alongside the many other Jack-O-Lanterns they made.
“A little bit different than all the others you guys made, don’t you think?” Amethyst said, hopping off from the table to inspect the Jack-O-Lanterns.
She had a point. The majority were decorated with drawings of their closest family and friends: Garnet, Pearl, Bismuth, Lapis, Peridot, the Diamonds, and so on. The only one that actually seemed to be showing the terrifying spirit of Halloween was the one Steven had just finished making.
“That’s actually why I made it,” Steven admitted, chuckling softly, “Now thinking about it though, it kinda sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe it wasn’t a very good idea…”
The growing sound of squeaky shoes approaching quickly caught their attention. They turn around just in time to see Spinel hop down the stairs and run her way towards Steven. Before he could do anything, he found Spinel’s arms wrapping around him and pulling him in for a hug.
“Steven! My good pal!!” Spinel cheered, smiling widely.
“Spinel! It’s nice to see you!” Steven laughed. He gave her a hug and a pat in the back the moment she let him go.
“Hey Spinny!” Amethyst greeted with a wave. “Where you’ve been? We missed you the last three days.”
“Oh, the Pearls needed me for something that was supposedly important at first,” Spinel said, rolling her eyes. Her eyes then fell upon the wagon full of Jack-O-Lanterns and then the bucket full of candy on the table and then the Halloween decorations hanging on the ceiling. “Hey, wait a darn minute! What’s all this stuff?”
“It’s all of our decorations for Halloween!” Connie explained. The young girl grabbed the candy bucket from the table and walked over to Spinel. She held it out to the gem, offering some. “Here. Take one.”
Spinel looked at it, confused at first, but then she pulled out a round, red lollipop.
“Uhm...what’s Halloween??”
“Oh!” Steven exclaimed. “I completely forgot! This is your first Halloween!”
Amethyst scoffed playfully. “Pfft! This is the first Halloween for nearly every gem at Little Homeworld. Spinel, you should’ve seen the presentation Lapis, Peridot, and Bismuth put up a few days ago! Halloween 101. It was a huge riot!” The small gem’s eyes widened. An idea had popped into her head. “HEEYYY! What if we recreate that! Right now!”
Connie nervously laughed as she remembered the disaster that had been the presentation. “How about we not?” She clapped her hands together before grabbing a hold of the wagon’s handle. “People are going to start trick-or-treating soon, so we should start putting these guys up. Steven will tell Spinel everything there is to know about Halloween. Won’t you, Steven?”
He nodded with a small smile. “I’ll see you guys later! If my dad shows up a little bit early, tell him I’m here with Spinel.”
After the others left, Spinel pulled the wrapper off her lollipop and popped it into her mouth. “Now,” she began, crossing her arms together, “What’s this whole Halloween biz?”
“You remember how I told you about the Fourth of July a few months back, right?”
She nodded.
“Halloween is a holiday just like that one. Minus the fireworks and American flags everywhere and also the barbecue. For Halloween, everyone dresses up in costumes, be it scary, funny, or cute, and go around at people’s houses to get candy.
“Oh,” she took out her lollipop and looked at it, “That’s nice.”
“I know, right!? Free candy for a night!”
“Is there a reason ya guys celebrate it?”
“Well...it’s mostly to have fun and it’s the one night you can go around wearing any costume you want.”
“You can’t wear a costume outside of that?”
Steven shook his head, sadly. “Not unless you work at Freddy Fazbear’s or Duck-Fil-A or any other company that has a mascot that requires a costume. Hey, speaking about costumes, it’s a good thing you came here tonight! I have something to show you
She gave him a quizzical look.
Before she could say or do anything, he grabbed her hand and led her to his room. When they got there, the first thing that caught Spinel’s eyes were the two outfits lying neatly on his bed.
“I was having a hard time picking a costume for this year,” he began to explain as he grabbed both of the outfits and showed them off, “But then I decided to ask Lion to decide for me and—guess which one he picked.”
Spinel thought for a second before pointing at the costume at the right.
“Yes! Who would’ve guessed he could be like that, huh? That’s Lion for you.”
The costume was literally a lion costume that Steven had painted pink to make it look exactly like Lion. The other costume...well, she wasn’t exactly sure what it was.
“What about the other one?” She asked.
“That one’s a Cookie Cat costume!”
“Oh...uhm what’s a cookie cat?”
“Oh, Cookie Cat’s an alien cat that left both his family and home behind when he came down here to Earth to escape an interstellar war. He was the mascot of these delicious ice cream sandwiches by the same name. Unfortunately they stopped selling two years ago probably because of competition. Curse you Lion Lickers. I would’ve definitely have bought you some if they still sold them. I’m pretty sure you would’ve liked them.”
Spinel looked at the costume he still held in his hand. Her eyes were focused on Cookie Cat’s two different colored eyes.One white and one pink.
“Yeah, I would have,” She said and then reached out for the costume, taking it out of his hand, “Hey, Steven. C-Can I ask ya somethin’?”
“Hm? Yeah sure.”
“Y-Ya wouldn’t—I-I mean you guys wouldn’t mind if I joined ya for this, would you? I-I think I like the idea of this whole ‘treat-or-trick’ thing.”
Steven smiled at her. It was another one of those types of smiles, so filled with warmth and love, which left Spinel feeling kinda weak every time it happened (and let me tell ya, it was happening quite a lot recently as she came to notice). It took so much of her power to prevent herself from falling victim to her buckling knees or to let her heart-shaped gem fly out of its place in a ‘bumpidity-bump!’ mess.
“I wouldn’t mind and I’m pretty sure the others won't either. I was actually about to ask you if you wanted to,” he said and then he walked over to his clothes cabinet, where he began to look through all his garments, “I have a ton of costumes here. Which one would you like? I have this sneople costume and oh—I still have this Pink Diamond outfit from two years ago…”
“Actually,” Spinel began, holding out the Cookie Cat costume in front of her, “I’d like to wear this.”
He smiled again. “Sure! Go ahead.”
She wasted no time in pulling the costume over her and in such a cartoonish manner that Steven had only blinked once when she already had the full costume on.
“How do I look?”
“Great! It’s a perfect fit!” Steven complimented. Just after he said that, the sound of rock music entered through the open window of his room. “Ah, Dad’s here! You can go down with the others. Tell them I’m getting ready.”
“Sure thing!” She said and watched as he quickly walked to the bathroom. Once the door close behind him, she walked down the stairs.
“Spooky scary skeletons,” she sang to herself, happily imagining the fun night that awaited them, “Send shivers down your spine…”

Stupid random theories, headcanons, and unpopular opinions of mine
Btw, these are all long so sit tight
My mangle theory :
I cant be the only one here who thinks that mangle was taken apart by little kids. It wouldn't make sense that little toddlers would be strong enough to pull apart a metal robot. That's because the kids didnt break her, william did. Mangle seems like he was an inspiration from funtime foxy because sister location happened before AND a lot of times, "toy foxy" is often referred to "funtime foxy". Due to this inspiration, mangle had the ability to record voices and things just like funtime foxy. Why am I pointing this out? Well, why would mangle randomly have static noises and a broken radio sound? It's her recorder, it's broken. He recorded many things and then recorded something that someone didnt want anyone to find out about. That someone would be William afton. William is always suspicious and doing evil things.Let's say that, oh idk, maybe William murdered someone, some person called the cops on him, (which explains the police messages n stuff in the radio) William killed that person and his the evidence of the murders. At least that's what he thought. Mangle was somehow recording the whole thing. William had no other choice but to take her apart and destroy him. But then William thought that it would to suspicious to have mangle be randomly broken the next day and so he fixed mangle up in way where it looks like shes fixed, but one tug hes broken and the kids are there to blame for. All of this might be a stretch I know, but apparently in one of the fnaf 2 minigames where theres a mangle Sprite, in the files or sources codes or WHATEVER IDK, there's a hidden message that says "he was here" or something like that. THAT CAN SUPPORT THIS THEORY errr headcanons? Idk I should go sleep lol
Micheal headcanon:
I always wanted to believe that Micheal was the older brother/Bully and that the bite victim was a different character. Why? Because I want more..character for Micheal. He went to sister location because he wants his torn apart family to be back together. He went to save Elizabeth and he never forgave himself for being the one to 'kill' his brother and all that failed. I wanted Michaels story to be exciting and emotional because of his past and the whole family thing
I also always liked to think that Micheal started working out to gain some strength before becoming a technician because he knows that the robots are strong and dangerous. That way things can be more action packed with Michael punching through pipes and walls, and holding back animatronics trying to grab him, and just...cool stuff
Fnaf headcanons:
Freddy has a nice deep voice and that's his real voice. When it comes to preforming during the day, he talks in his "family friendly" voice which is all goofy and fun (kinda like Patrick star's voice) The animatronics are a lot different on stage. It's as if they play as characters and they change their voices sometimes (like Freddy). Chica acts like this ditzy cute country gal, Bonnie is a laid back chill bon, foxy is just more ...pirate, and Freddy is a fun loving silly lead singer
Nightmarriones pupils change shape to Express his emotions. (Sad=tear drop pupils, sick=swirly pupils, angry=skull or fire pupils)
Lefty has his own voice instead of a whispery girly voice because he is his own character. He may look like the rockstars but he was made differently. The rockstars were built by some factory or company and they have advanced technology which gives em the ability to have emotions, personalities and to do tricks. Meanwhile lefty was built by henry in a shed or something. Henry only focused on programming him to find charlie and he had to make lefty look like the rockstars to blend in and not be suspicious. Other than that, lefty was a total rush job. Henry only wanted Charlie therefore, Henry didn't care to give lefty a personality, emotions, an EYE, or stablness.
In the afton family, the mother is sweet, kind, caring, and over protective while william is outgoing, silly, and isnt afraid to do anything (before he went insane). Usually kids have similar personalities to their parents soooo I like to think that Micheal is more like his mom but looks like his dad and that Elizabeth looks like her mom but acts like her dad. Why? Because I always saw Michael as a hero, he cares for others and he wants to save his family. He is sweet and protective like his mom. Elizabeth is rebellious and sassy. In the sister location mini cutscene with William and Elizabeth, she disobeys william to see baby and that's a rebellious move. Elizabeth likes adventure and crazy things so she wont follow the rules any time soon.
Funtime chica does all the rockstar's make up. When months pass by, the rockstar's paint would peel or chip and so ft. Chica would repaint their lipsticks, eye shadows, cheeks, etc. And they look fresh and new afterwards
Even though puppet and Goldie (and all the other animatronics) have been through so much shiz, they still try to keep their cool and enjoy life
In the rockstar crew r. Bonnie is the creepiest. Yeah, he seems chill and is self centered, he is the only rockstar who is most likely to murder someone if he's told to do so (this isn't counting ucn where they all kill). All on Bonnie's songs are so creepy and he sings about killing you in unique ways. Stuff like making slivers (or slippers) out of you, flaying your flesh, smashing your face into concrete, ending your life, and stabbing your heart with his guitar. He's definitely into gory stuff
Springtrap has two different personalities. Most of the time he's himself, spring bonnie. A kind fun loving bun who completely changed his personality after becoming springtrap. He is know constantly scared, upset, and afraid of Williams next move. He hates being an evil monster but it's not something he can control due to William still having control over him. When the slringbonnie side of springtrap gets mad or upset that's when hes weak and William takes control and becomes the evil side of springtrap. Springtrap is very aggressive and very strong. Slringbonnie tries to fight back Williams spirit, but as time went on and when the kids got sent free, spring bonnie got lonely and gave up which let William take full control over him. Sprjngbonnie is gone, its William now (which explains scraptrap)
Idk if this is a theory or headcanon but fnaf 1 bonnie is blue. Yes, he is known to be purple and everyone says and draws him purple but he's blue. Maybe it's the certain blue color he is but due to lightning it makes him look very purple. When he's in more darker areas, bonnie is very blue but when he's in the light areas, hes purple. Let's not forget how every single version on bonnie is blue (except for extras like spring springbon and bonnet etc.) Exept for fnaf 1 bonnie. That doesn't make sense if one of the originals would be purple but all the other versions are blue. One more thing, in the silver eyes, they mention that bonnie has blue fur ;) this was a dumb rant sorry
Shadow bon is evil and can shape shift cause hes a goopy shadow boy and shadow fred is his lil assistant
After fazbears fright burned down, William got to take control over springbonnie(trap) and roamed the streets at night. He roamed dark allies and probably killed whoever slighted him. It was a long walk but he was just trying to get to his destination, fred bears diner. Because of the fires, the springtrap suit was more ruined and unsturdy and so it was time for a change. Somehow William got out of the suit but he's weak without one so he picked an old spring bonnie suit, scraptrap. (According to the fnaf minigames there are multiple spring bonnie suits so that why spring trap looks different)
I got more headcanons but this post is already to long :p
My Unpopular opinions:
Am I the only one here who's not way into the whole Michael AI theory?? Like it kinda makes sense but at the same time, making a whole new robot son with advanced technology IN THE 80s does not give the fnaf-y feel?? Ya know what I mean? Like it doesn't fit the theme? Also the ai thing is in the books and the books are a different universe from the games sooo idk why matpat still connected them?? Hsjsbsjsjsn fnaf is just waaaaay to confusing. Also please dont get mad at me for this opinion cause matpats ai thing is just a theory, its not canon
Foxy isnt super great. Dont get me wrong, I love foxy and he's an amazing character but I don't get why he got so much attention and hype
Bonnet and lolbit should just be canon already. They're not canon characters but they're included in sooo many things in fnaf so might as well make em canon
Funko needs to make a fnaf 2 figure set where you collect t.chica,t.bonnie,t.freddy, puppet, one of the withereds or shadows and you collect them all to make a mangled mangle figure. I would DIE for a fully formed noodle fox figure, how cool would that be?
Scraptrap design is perfect. I know that we all make peanut and Jimmy neutron jokes but honestly I love his sharp teach, creepy eyes, AMazInG voice, and his stabby arm. Sometimes in some angles, he can look heck a creepy
SCRAP BABY LEGITIMATELY FREAKS ME OUT SHES SCARY

Angels and Stray Kitties
Your daughter meets an angel :)
A/n: this idea hit me at 3am and wouldnt let me sleep until i write it. Can be read as either Gwilym, Joe, Ben, or Allen! (Not Rami because it mentions Uncle Rami uwu)
Warning: Happy tears
---
You were taking your daughter to see his dad filming. The studio was only a couple of minutes away from where you live so you decided to take a walk. As you were waiting for a clearing at the crosswalk, holding your daughter's hand, a voice called out to you. It was your high school friend.
"Y/n I cant believe its you! Ever since you got married to that actor I feel like I'll never see you again!" You were caught up with the conversation with your old friend that you didn't notice your daughter slip her wrist out of your grip. After you exchange numbers with your friend, you noticed she was missing. You called out her name and thankfully, she emerged from a dark alley.
"I told you to never ever leave my side! Where were you? Your dress is soiled!" You scolded her.
"There was a nice orange kitty over there and I went over to pet it" she said gesturing to the dark space between two buildings, already sounding sorry.
"You cant just pet stray animals! What if they bite you? Or worse?" Your panic still hasn't subsided after seeing that shady-looking alley.
"The man said its okay to pet the kitty." She said, the fighting spirit within her.
"You spoke to a stranger?! Darling, we're gonna have a long conversation about this!" Your soul almost left your body upon hearing her excuse.
"He wasn't a stranger! He was a nice man and was petting the kitty first" She reasoned again, this time describing the stranger.
You picked up your daughter as you speed-walked along the sidewalk to get to your destination.
As you entered your husband's dressing room, your daughter squealed for her daddy.
"How's my little princess?" He said as he picked her up and kissed her cheek.
"She had quite an adventure today on our way here." You said to your husband
"Really? What happened?"
"I met an angel, daddy!" She said energetically. "He said he liked your movie bom- bomeh-" she continued, struggling with the syllables
"Bohemian Rhapsody! You met a fan today huh?" Your husband finished, slightly confused about his daughter's experience.
"Yeah! He said thank you for telling his story." Your daughter said, now distracted by the lights around the vanity table. Your husband raised an eyebrow, looking at you.
"Why dont you tell daddy how he looked like, baby?" You asked your little daughter.
"Oh he had a moustache and some funny teeth. And he had wings!" She giggles, proud of herself.
"At first I thought it was uncle Rami but the man's eyes were brown and not green."
---
A/n: fam, i cried after writing this. Freddie must have some fabulous wings. 😭😿

An Eye for an Eye - Chapter 5
Well, here’s the final chapter of An Eye for an Eye! I loved experimenting with a different setup for this tale, placing it outside of one of the games. It’s been a lot of fun! 
did i cry while writing this? yes. a lot. i love my kiddos, sue me.
---
Those eyes. She had seen them far more times than any person should. She had seen them on Michael, while he stood paralyzed in front of those nightmare-fueled steel monstrosities. Charlie had seen them on herself in the reflection of the rain-soaked glass of the window looking into Fazbear’s Family Diner, with the silhouette of her killer behind her. She had even seen them on her own father, as he stared into the emotionless eyes of Charlie’s former suit. And yesterday, she saw them on William as he stared at her through the mask of the Spring Bonnie suit just before the springlocks thrust themselves into his skin, shoving jagged mechanical parts right into his ribcage. Even when she shuts her eyelids as tight as she can, and feels her tears dripping down her face, those eyes still haunt her. They’re burned into her retinas. 
Charlie hates this, hates that she’s crying, and hates herself most of all. Why was she so easily convinced to kill? Charlie was supposed to be the protector of lost souls, and yet she had created more. She was no better than William.
She looks up at Michael, who’s sitting next to her, facing the television. Neither of them had gotten much sleep. A rerun of an old soap opera, one that Michael had watched religiously in his youth, plays on the set, but neither of them are really watching it. 
Michael wraps an arm around Charlie’s shoulder and pulls her closer. He runs his gloved fingers through her short brown locks and smiles a little to himself. He had almost forgotten what satisfaction and contentment felt like, but now it flowed through him like blood. His mission was complete.
On his side, he feels something cool. He looks down at Charlie, eyebrows quirking up with worry, and sees her tears. All at once, his peace drains to gnawing anxiety.
“Hey,” Michael smiles down at Charlie, who wipes her tears with a damp sleeve before meeting his gaze. “What do you say we… go stop by Fazbears? Say hi to your dad?”
Blood rushes to Charlie’s ears. She can barely hear Michael over the sound of her racing heartbeat, and she struggles to keep her face calm. The simple thought of that place is barely tolerable without her consciousness getting hijacked by images of the horrific monstrosities Charlie had committed the night before. But she needed to stay positive. She had to. 
If she didn’t have her cheer, what did she have?
“Sure,” Charlie smiles for the first time that day. Michael smiles back, relieved.
They hop into the car, and Michael skids down the street, almost jumping the curb. Charlie hangs onto the seat behind her for dear life. 
She laughs, “Why the heck are you driving so fast?!”
“Because,” Michael blows past the ‘Speed Limit: 20 mph’ street sign at 60, “it’s fun.”
Leaving dark tracks behind it, the purple Oldsmobile screeches to a halt in front of Fazbear’s glistening glass doors. The sun has just barely passed the horizon, so Michael’s face is cast in shadow as he lightly taps on the front door to the Pizzaria. No response. The main room, which is visible through the slightly frosted glass, is silent and dark. It may have been early, but Henry should’ve been there. He managed the place.
Charlie sees Michael’s confusion and concern. “Hey, I can unlock the door if we need.”
“That sounds good.” 
With a nod, Charlie pushes herself through the glass and clicks the lock open. She goes deeper into the restaurant, reaching for the light switch to turn on the lights, when she sees them.
Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy. Staring down at her from the stage with lifeless eyes. Eyes that had been filled with life by the Marionette, and emptied of it by the same hand. 
Charlie hadn’t realized she was crying until she felt Michael’s hand on her shoulder.
“Let’s find your dad and get out of here,” he murmurs. The spirit wraps her arms around Michael in response. Together, they walk through the restaurant, while Charlie tilts her head away from the stage. 
Michael sees a dim light from a doorway down the hall. He leads Charlie there, only to see a man slumped over at the manager’s desk, beer bottle in hand and tiny television screen illuminating his face.
 Sighing, Michael reaches over the desk and shakes him awake. “Henry.”
Henry’s eyebrows quirk up in confusion, then he smiles with recognition. “Hey, guys.”
“Were you here all night?
“Uh, yeah,” He blinks, rubbing his eyes, “I was watching William.”
Gesturing towards the TV screen, Henry shows Michael and Charlie the camera footage of the door to the safe room, which has remained the same since they locked the door. 
“So, how are you?” Henry smiles.
“Well…” Staring at the floor, Michael says, “We’re thinking about moving. Leaving Hurricane.”
“What? Why?”
“Too many memories. Ones that I’d rather not remember. And besides--” Michael turns to Charlie, then falls silent. She’s so dim that she’s barely visible, her face buried in Michael’s coat. He puts an arm around her shoulders.
“But you just got here!” To Michael’s surprise, Henry sounds almost angry. He rises to his feet and walks around the desk to stare Michael down. “You can’t leave Hurricane.”
“Henry. The only reason we were here was to deal with William.”
“‘Deal with him?!’ Let’s not tiptoe around this, Michael. You convinced literal children to murder him for you because you just didn’t want to do it.”
Michael practically spits, “I did what I had to. I saved your life, for God’s sake. You’re just a coward.”
“A coward? No, I just have a moral compass. On the other hand, you are exactly as your father described. Soulless.”
A blur of movement brushes past Henry and smashes into the desk behind him. Oak splinters under Michael’s curled fist, and he glares red-hot lasers through Henry’s eyes. “I’m done taking your shit, Miller. We’re leaving. That’s final.” Michael stuffs his shaking hands into his pocket to avoid attacking Henry. 
“We? If you think you’re taking my daughter from me, you’re sadly mistaken.” Henry jabs his finger into Michael’s sunken chest, not even sparing a glance at Charlie, who has long since moved away from the argument in favor of hiding in the corner. 
“I—” Turning away to look for Charlie, Michael slows. His red-hot anger is cooled by the pitiful sight of his best friend curled up on the floor, her normally fluorescent features faded with fear. “Listen, I’m not trying to make Charlie’s choices for her. She can choose whether or not to move with me.”
“You’re not pulling that, Michael. Let her choose, so that way you can pull your little voodoo magic and put her back under your spell like always. Lottie’s going to stay with me, her father.”
“‘Voodoo magic?’ You mean being her friend? That’s the thing, Henry, you don’t really care about Charlie. Not like she is now. You just want your Little Lottie back.”
“Of course I do! Your father may have taken her away from me, but you’re the one who’s corrupted her, who’s turned her into something she’s not. You’re the one who made her kill someone!”
Henry gasps in a few breaths of air, his finger wavering in the air in front of Michael’s eyes. He closes his hand into a fist, and rises to put his face in the empty air where his fist was.
“So tell me, who really killed Lottie?” Henry spits, “William, or you?”
The linoleum tiles crack under Michael’s heel as he shoves Henry back into the desk, sending the older man flying over the desk and into the wheeled chair behind him. Michael wheels around, pausing when he sees Charlie’s apparent absence from the room. 
Facing the floor, he whispers, “I’m sorry I fucked everything up.”
Just as quickly as he ended the argument, Michael storms out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
“Asshole.” Henry growls at the closed door. Slowly, he pulls himself back to his feet, muttering yet more profanities as he does so.
He looks up at his daughter with an apologetic smile. Charlie stares back with a combination of anger and fear on her face as her cheeks sparkle with tears.
Pointing at the door, Charlie stammers out, “Listen, I-I’m gonna—”
“I meant what I said.” Henry busies himself by fiddling with his desk chair, trying to get the wheels to spin again. “I know he’s your friend, Lottie, but I just don’t think Michael is trustworthy.” 
Charlie’s hands curl into fists, but the only words she can muster are, “Michael’s always there when I need him. An-and I can’t say the same for you.”
She flies through the door, barely even noting the unpleasant wave of nausea that hits her as she does. Before she can even so much as take a breath, Charlie’s in the dining room, staring up at the stage. A muffled sob escapes her lips as she stares into Fritz—Foxy’s— lifeless eyes. Charlie turns away, wanting desperately to look at anything else. As she finally regains a slice of her sense, Charlie briskly walks through the booth seats and out the front doors.
The evening sun cast long shadows across the road, obscuring most of Michael’s face. He sits on the curb, looking at some distant point in the horizon while his cigarette smoke swirls around him in a cloud, concealing his face further. Through the smoke Michael sees a familiar figure join him on the curb. They sit in silence for a moment.
“You’re not coming with me, are you,” Michael says quietly. The smoke disperses, and Charlie can see the resigned frown on Michael’s face.
Charlie’s eyebrows quirk up in horror. She bites her lip, choosing her words carefully. “I’m not sure if I ever talked about it much, but… my years as the Marionette were hell.”
Michael looks up quickly, confusion dancing across his face.
“I was so alone, Mike. My d—Henry stopped coming to the restaurant, you never went back, even William left. I was so… cold.” Tears begin to well in Charlie’s eyes once again, but she grits her teeth and blinks rapidly. She shouldn’t cry again. She can’t. “Gabe, Jeremy, Suzy, even Fritz were always angry. Not just at William, at the world too. And I let myself get angry too.” Charlie pulls Michael’s arm into her lap and rests her head on his shoulder. “But then you came along.” A smile dawns on her face. “You helped me remember who I was, Mike. Who I am now. I don’t think I ever thanked you for that. So, thank you.” 
Michael pulls Charlie into a tight embrace, pushing her cheek up against his razor-like collarbone. His arms are shaking. 
“That’s a no to staying, by the way.” Charlie laughs. Michael smiles gratefully as a response. 
They sit in each other’s arms for a while, watching the golden sun light the horizon on fire as it sinks below. 
Michael glances down at his companion. “Are you okay?”
“I don’t know,” she frowns. “I guess I just thought he’d be different.” 
“I’m sorry.”
Charlie looks up at him, catching his gaze. “Don’t be. I have you, Mike. You’re all I need.”

Back from the Dead, Dying Inside (part 2)
Prequel
Part 1
Jace woke up in so much pain, he could hardly move. His painkillers had been wearing off long before he fell asleep, but he’d thrown the pills across the room, and he couldn’t have retrieved them without help. He stretched out in bed, groaning and trying to adjust. He nearly jumped out of his skin when a voice piped up beside him.
“Are you okay?”
Jace jerked into an upright position, but his face went white and he flopped back onto the bed with regret. “Fuck me... Wren, when did you get here?”
“When I woke up. Mum said you were feeling poorly, so I wanted to check on you.” Wren gestured to the bed, where a blanket much softer than Jace’s usual was tucked around the injured boy. “I brought you something soft. I like soft things when I’m sad.”
Despite how much he was aching, as well as a lingering bitterness after his argument with Serafina, Jace couldn’t help but smile. The gashes on his face stung with the movement, and his expression quickly fell. Even in the dim light, Wren didn’t miss it.
“You’re hurting... Where did your medicine go?”
Jace sighed. “It’s... it’s on the floor.” His voice was hoarse, scratchy from screaming and dehydrated from crying all night. “Careful, there’s broken glass over there...”
Wren didn’t ask why; he didn’t have to. He just carefully reached around the shards to pick up the assortment of plastic bottles, moving them back to the nightstand. “I’ll go find you some water, so you can take your medicine.”
He ran off, returning with a water bottle, as well as a pill crusher. Jace couldn’t take whole pills with his jaw wired - they had to be powdered and mixed with water. Looking at the labels of the bottles, Wren made sure he was doling out the right amount of each medication before offering it to his brother. 
Forcing himself to sit up, Jace took his medicine, thought it didn’t feel like it was settling well. His stomach was aching fiercely, as he had hardly eaten over the last few days. Wren again saw the discomfort on his brother’s face.
“Do you want some more water? Or maybe some tea or something?”
“No, I don’t... It’s not... I just... haven’t eaten in a while.” Jace mumbled. “I’m sick of those shit smoothies. Just thinking about them makes me wanna puke.”
Wren nodded understandingly. He stopped to think for a minute. “I’ll be back.” He hopped to his feet and ran downstairs, rifling through the refrigerator and freezer. They of course had vanilla ice cream, but he honestly wasn’t expecting to find the other thing he wanted. To his surprise, there it was - in the very back corner of the refrigerator, a single bottle of root beer. Wren pulled both out onto the counter, grabbing a big glass from a cabinet and an ice cream scoop from a drawer.
Jace was flicking listlessly through a comic book when his little brother returned. He was surprised and a little confused to see Wren carrying a foam-topped glass with a fat straw sticking out of it. “Whatcha got there?”
“Root beer float.” Wren grinned, holding it out to his brother.
Jace’s face lit up at once, recognizing the treat his father used to make for him as a kid. “Shit, really? I didn’t know we even had root beer.”
“I didn’t either. There was one hiding in the very back of the fridge.” Wren watched closely as his brother picked up the glass, hoping he had done well.
Jace was more than thrilled to have something that wasn’t pureed bullshit to eat. He sucked down almost a third of it at once, only pausing because he’d given himself a brain freeze. He smiled at Wren. “It’s really good.”
Wren smiled back. “Good. Can... can I ask you something?”
“Yea, sure.” Jace shrugged, sipping at his drink again as the pain of the brain freeze faded.
“What’s bothering you? Mum said you were upset last night, but she wouldn’t tell me what you talked about.” Wren sat on the edge of the bed, watching his brother with worried eyes.
Jace sighed. “Just... this.” He gestured with a cast-covered hand towards his torn-up face. “Healing is gonna take forever. I’m going crazy in here, and I’m not even gonna look like a goddamn human when it’s over.” The rage from yesterday was gone, replaced with a morose wobble in his voice.
“Well, you... you don’t have to stay in here.” Wren told him. “I know you don’t like the wheelchair, but I really don’t mind pushing you around. It’s like driving a snarky go-kart.”
Jace laughed so hard, he felt a stab of pain in his healing ribs. “Shit, I want that on a t-shirt or my gravestone or something. That’s fuckin’ great. Maybe I’ll be your snarky go-kart when I finish my float.” He decided.
Wren smiled. “Really?”
“Yeah, sure. Just, like, stay inside the house. I don’t wanna run into anybody besides, like, Dad.” Jace was afraid that Serafina would still be mad at him for last night, and he had no desire to see anyone who didn’t live with them.
“Are you sure? The weather is really nice. You’ve been stuck inside for weeks... I thought you liked going outside.”
Jace shook his head. “Not anymore. It’s not worth it. Not when you look like Freddy Krueger fucked Frankenstein. You shoulda seen the faces of the people in the fuckin’ waiting room when we left...” He muttered, clearly bitter.
Wren frowned. “We could just go in the backyard? At least then you’d get some sun...”
“What, and kill every animal I look at like some Tim Burton version of a Disney princess?”
“It’s... it’s really not like that... the only people who are looking at you like that are judgy and mean.” Wren declared.
“No, they’re normal.” Jace snapped back. “Normal people don’t look like they jumped in a wood chipper on a dare, and they don’t like freaks that do look like that.”
Wren sighed. His brother wasn’t really wrong, which was making it hard to argue, so he tried to go a different route. “It’s really weird that you’re so bothered by that. Isn’t the point of being punk to look scary and upset the normal people?”
“Well, kinda, but you can look punk and still look good. You can’t look good when your face looks like you tried to shave with a lawnmower.” Jace huffed.
Wren was struggling not to laugh at his brother’s dramatic imagery, but he continued anyway. “Really? Cause I remember you saying,” he switched from his natural slight British accent to a rather exaggerated surfer-dude voice. “Dude, it’d be so fuckin’ cool if I got in a fight with somebody and got like, a scar or something. Chicks dig that shit, it makes you look like a badass.”
Now it was Jace’s turn to try not to laugh. Those words and that voice sounded fucking ridiculous coming from his demure little brother. He had to compose himself before continuing to argue. “That’s different. I meant like, one scar, on my cheek or something. Or across the eye, like Dad. That looks fuckin’ cool. I look like a fuckin’ mess. One scar is sexy. A bunch is psycho.”
“I still think it’s pretty punk.”
“Dude, you’re not exactly the leading expert on punk. You look like my school librarian.”
Wren huffed in fake offense. “Hey!”
Jace held up his hands. “I’m not saying I don’t like you, I’m just saying I’d never ask you for fashion advice, even if my own eyes rotted out of my skull. I’d be safer just grabbing clothes from my dresser at random.”
Wren was still making a faux-upset face, but he was struggling not to giggle. “Yeah, well... I wouldn’t let you pick out books for me. I’d get like, a colouring book and a Playboy magazine.”
Jace snorted. “Yeah, probably.” Despite how their conversation had started, Wren had managed to lift his spirits substantially. He sucked down the last of his root beer and set the glass aside. “You wanna like... see if my wheelchair can go down the stairs?”
“No!”
“You’re no fun...”

Livin’ On a Prayer (Auston Matthews)
Word count: 1495
Warnings: Kind of a sex scene
Author’s note: This wasn’t requested, but I had the idea for it when Bon Jovi came on Throwback Thursday while I was driving to work last week. My first attempt at something even remotely coming close to smut. Let me know what you think!
Tumblr media
You absolutely adored the Matthews family. Between the constant dry heat of Scottsdale, a vastly different climate than Toronto, Auston’s sisters always finding the time to tease him and tell you embarrassing stories about him and Ema trying to include you, the hopeless cook who once managed to actually burn water, in the Matthews family tradition of cooking large meals together, Auston’s family quickly became another family to you, in addition to your actual family and the Leafs family. Even though you loved all of the Matthews, you missed your hometown. After a really nice month in Arizona at the conclusion of the season, you were more than ready to show Auston where you had grown up.
Turns out, your family loves Auston just as much as Auston’s family loves you, if not more so. They found your quiet giant of a boyfriend incredibly endearing. Even your dad, the man that was the reason that none of your friends wanted to go to your house in high school, wasn’t his intimidating self around Auston. Even though your family was more than welcoming they, much like Auston’s family, are very overbearing to two people who really just enjoy the company of each other.
Today, you decide to take Auston sightseeing as a pseudo-date. Although Auston is the one that handles driving in the busy cities of Scottsdale and Toronto, you decide to take the wheel for this tour, the numerous back roads getting confusing for even a local. As you back out of the driveway, Auston looks at the interior of the car.
“Is this your car from high school?” He asks, lips twitching as he takes in the odd shoe, school sweatshirt, sports gear and school spirit items that you had abandoned the day you graduated.
“It is! She was supposed to be passed down from kid to kid, but they all get rides from their friends. My baby needs some love.” You give the dashboard a loving pat as you coast down the street. Auston continues to inspect your car.
“Does this thing even have an aux cord?”
“Unfortunately, no.” Auston laughs. “Trust me, all of my friends used to make fun of me for it, I don’t need my boyfriend to do the same thing.”
“Don’t worry, I have nothing against your car.”
“I sure hope not. Y’know, we have coyotes out here, and if I were to have to leave you on the side of the road because my car got offended by you, I would be a little worried for you.” Auston looks at you, a huge grin on his face.
“Did you just threaten me, (Y/N)?” You shrug, trying to fight a smile off of your face. As the radio plays quietly in the background, you suddenly come to a realization.
“It’s Thursday!” You start to fiddle with the radio, trying to find the right station.
“I’m glad you have your days memorized. Why is Thursday so important?”
“The big radio station in town does a Throwback Thursday, where they take requests and play a bunch of songs from the 80s and 90s! This was our favorite day of the week; we would always ride to school and sing all of the old songs at the tops of our lungs.” You smile, referencing your siblings. Finally, you remember the radio station and get the radio tuned, laughing triumphantly as the music of David Bowie spills out from the speakers. Auston can’t help but to smile at your enthusiasm for Throwback Thursday.
“I’ve never heard of a station doing this before.”
“Perks of living in a small town, I guess.” As you cruise down the interstate, you entertain Auston with your renditions of the Backstreet Boys, Wilson Phillips, Salt N’ Peppa, En Vogue and Madonna. You’re about to speak when the beginning strains of a familiar song fill your ears. Auston groans as you squeal and lightly smack his arm, making sure that he hears.
“Why this song?”
“Well well well, guess they know who’s in town?” Bon Jovi begins to sing and you join in, nearly yelling the lyrics and dancing in your seat. “‘It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not. We’ve got each other,’” You grab Auston’s unwilling hand and swing it. “‘And that’s a lot. For love, we’ll give it a shot!’”
“Don’t do this to me, babe.” You groan and pout.
“Auston, please? You know you wanna. I know that I’m no Mitch, but I’m still pretty fun to sing with.” Auston says nothing so you decide to drop it, changing lanes and getting back into the song. “Whoa, we’re halfway there, WHOA, LIVIN’ ON A PRAYER, take my hand and we’ll make it I swear-”
“Whoa, livin’ on a prayer!” You’re sitting at a stoplight off of the interstate, so you completely justify taking your eyes off of the road and smiling widely at Auston, giggles leaving your lips. The look on Auston’s face, a grimace at the fact that he actually just sang the song that made him into a meme, turns your giggles into full-on laughs, a snort escaping as you clasp your hand over your mouth. At that sound, Auston bursts into laughter.
“I-can’t-believe-you-snorted!” Auston gasps out, sending you into another bout of laughs. A car angrily honks behind you, causing you to jump. You turn and sheepishly wave as you start to drive, pulling into a parking lot so that you don’t crash due to your boyfriend still laughing.
“I’m so mad that you just caused some guy to get angry at me because you made fun of my laughter.” You feign anger at the whole situation before miserably failing, a smile gracing your features.
“I’m sorry (Y/N), I just haven’t heard you snort from laughter in a while.” You both quiet as Auston stares at you, moving a stray piece of hair out of your eyes. “My family stole you away from me the whole time we were in Arizona.”
“And my family’s been stealing you from me too.” You realize. “I miss these little moments, Aus. I like it when it’s just the two of us.”
“How do I miss someone that I haven’t been apart from in over a month?” He asks, almost to himself.
“I miss you too.” His lips are on yours in a matter of milliseconds, hands becoming tangled in each other as you clamber over the center console, straddling Auston’s lap.
“I feel like I haven’t touched you in ages.” Auston mutters against your skin, nipping at your neck as you moan out his name.
“Y’know, I never did get to have sex in this car.” You breathe out, testing the waters. Auston pulls away, smirking at you as his eyes darken.
“Well then, I guess we’ll have to change that.” He immediately lifts you up, making it seem almost effortless as he tosses you into the back seat, climbing in after you. Auston’s hands immediately go for your breasts while he goes to work sucking a hickey on your neck. Your mouth falls open as you attempt to speak, not being able to force any words out. Your hand moves to palm Auston’s bulge as he groans through clenched teeth.
“Oh God, (Y/N), the things you do to me.” You pull his face back down to yours in a searing kiss. As articles of clothing are thrown all over your car, you thank your lucky stars that you managed to pull into an abandoned parking lot. Your heavy breathing mixes with Auston’s, the only sounds in your car besides the sound of the radio, still playing throwback music.
After an adventurous afternoon that consisted of absolutely no sightseeing (“except for that gorgeous body of yours.”), you and Auston make it back to your family home. After spending 20 minutes attempting to find your phone, which you realize you left on the charger in your room all along, you finally check your phone. You’re surprised to see plenty of messages; normally, you only ever get texts from Auston. Instead, Sydney, Steph, Mitch, Freddie and plenty of others have all left you texts about how good of a singer you are. You whip your head up to Auston, who attempts to look nonchalant, as you immediately scroll to Instagram. On both his story and as an actual post is a video of you singing and dancing exuberantly to ‘Livin’ On a Prayer.’ Every so often, Auston switches the screen back to his face, where he’s desperately trying not to laugh.
“Someone’s ready for hockey season to start #GoLeafsGo” is the caption that accompanies the video.
“Now everyone knows how terrible of a singer I am!” You groan, cheeks going red. Auston pulls you onto his lap, kissing your nose.
“Yeah, but they also know that I have the most supportive girlfriend in the world.” Auston starts to kiss you again.
“I’m never going to get to take you sightseeing.”

The Ghost and The Guard - Night Three
“Welcome back to another pivotal night of your thriving new career, where you get to really ask yourself; what am I really doing with my life? What would my friends say? And, most importantly, Will I ever see my family again?”
Mike laughs dryly.
“Mike, don’t be mean.” Charlie nudges him, and the security guard rolls his eyes. “He might have feelings, too.”
“To help you reach a more stable and relaxing frame of mind, we offer several musical selections to help make this elevator ride as relaxing and therapeutic as possible. We offer contemporary jazz, classical, rain forest ambiance, as well as a wide selection of other choices. Using the keypad below, please type the first few letters of the musical selection you would prefer.”
“I doubt it,” Mike grumbles as the googly-eyed keyboard once again looks him in the face. Charlie gently pushes him to the side, attempting to type something in.
“It seems you had some trouble with the keypad. I see what you were trying to type, and I will autocorrect it for you. Thank you for selecting Casual Bongos.”
Charlie giggles as the music begins to play. Mike rolls his eyes, but even he can’t stop himself from smiling.
As Hand Unit guides the pair towards the Parts and Service room, Mike sighs. This place is absolutely awful, for both Charlie and him, but yet they keep coming back. He knows that the only reason Charlie came was to help him, so that leaves him with only one question. Why did he keep coming back?
Was it for Lizzie? It had already been established that she couldn’t hear him. That she was probably already gone.
Michael, I need you to promise me something.
What?
You have to put them back together. Both of them.
But-
You know we’re both to blame. You helped kill Jonah, and I- my creation killed Elizabeth. I’ve done my best to help, but it’s no use. I need you, Michael. You need to put them back together. Promise me.
I… I promise.
Was that it? The promise that a grieving teenager had made to his psychopath father? Insane. Mike knew that that wasn’t it, that couldn’t be it.
And yet, he also knew that it was the reason he kept coming back, the reason he put both him and his best friend in mortal danger every night. No matter how psychotic his father was, no matter how much Mike hated him, some deep, childlike part of Mike still wanted his father to be proud of him.
“Mike?” Charlie’s worried face interrupted his train of thought. “You… you okay?”
Mike nodded. He couldn’t bring himself to words yet. He was still too busy trying to sort through the mental hurricane he had just created.
“C’mon, we gotta go through the Funtime Auditorium.” Charlie takes Mike’s hand and begins leading him through the vent. Mike knew that she was treating him like one of the broken spirits, like she had treated Jonah after he died. But Mike didn’t care. Honestly, he was just happy that he had at least one positive constant in his life.
Charlie was worried about Mike. Of course, she was always worried about him, but this time was the worst. She had never seen her best friend so… scared.
With Charlie being able to see in the dark, it was easy to lead Mike through Funtime Auditorium. A few turns, a little tiptoeing around a seven-foot animatronic fox, and they were set. However, once they got the Parts and Service Room, a different predicament emerged.
“Mike, I need you present.” Charlie nudged him.
“What’s up?”
“Hand Unit said that we need to fix this guy.” Charlie waved her hand in the direction of Funtime Freddy. “I need your mechanical expertise.”
“Well, your dad made the animatronics.”
“So did yours.”
“Well, Henry built most of them.” Not to mention, he wasn’t a child murderer.
Charlie sighs. “Fine. I need your hands, though.”
“Okay, okay.”
“Locate the small button on Freddy's face, just under his right cheek, and press it.”
Mike squints at the sleeping robot, searching for the button. He manages to find it and pushes it.
“Great! Now carefully locate and press the button next just above Freddy's nose.”
As he presses the button, Mike jumps back to avoid being hit by the quickly opening faceplates. Charlie takes a glance at the exposed wires inside the bear.
Before Hand Unit can respond, Charlie instructs her friend to press a button underneath the endoskeleton’s jaw. With a confused look, Mike finds the button.
“How’d you know that was there?” He asks the spirit. Charlie’s too busy inspecting the chest of the endoskeleton to respond.
“Excellent. The chest cavity should now be open. Remove the power module from the chest cavity.”
Mike looks to Charlie, expecting her to point out the battery, but she was too busy poking at something.
“Lee?”
“Yeah?”
“Where’s the battery?”
“I… it’s probably this thing over here.” She points to a small disc with a blinking red light on it. “Which is… it’s just a weird place to put a battery.”
Mike pulls it off. “I’m not the right person to ask. I don’t know the first thing about these murder ‘bots.”
“Press the large, black button beneath Bonnie's bow tie to release the power module.”
Mike looks to where the hand puppet was before, but it wasn’t there.
“Mike…” Charlie trails off, staring at something over his shoulder.
The guard keeps his eyes trained on Funtime Freddy’s chest. “It’s over there, isn’t it.”
“Yeah.”
Without looking, Mike grabs at the small animatronic. He presses the black button, and a small disc similar to the battery clatters to the floor. Charlie’s applause rings through the empty room.
“Good job. This completes your tasks for the night. Please exit the building through Funtime Auditorium, and we'll see you back here again tomorrow.”
“I mean, we got through it before without any hiccups.” Charlie remarks as Mike pushes the door open. “Why should now be any different?”
Mike glances into the dark room ahead and begins to walk inside. After a minute, Charlie holds an arm out to block him.
“It sees you.” Charlie murmurs. Mike blinks at her, worried. “It’s not moving.” The spirit sucks in a breath as the animatronic fox steps closer and closer to her closest friend, a fanged grin across its face.
Charlie tugs on Mike’s arm, trying to steer him away from the danger. Mike, blinded by the darkness, stumbles through the room, drawing the pink-and-white fox closer. Charlie watches with horror as it leaps at the security guard, wrapping its claws around him and pulling him away into the darkness.

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoy The Ghost and the Guard as much as I do <3
