FNAF DCA Slime Rancher AU

*cracks knuckles, squints at my dashboard and blows*

*hacks up half a lung at the sheer volume of dust flying in my face*

SO, we live :3 and have been watering the brain worm garden, writing… elsewhere that isn’t here and is our Ao3 as well as the uh, *glances at pileup of unfinished works in Google Docs* … actually, ignore that.

At the request of the lovely @sinnabee after watching her stream Slime Rancher 2, here is our list of I guess headcanons that we’ll more than likely end up writing at least a few scenes for :p

Also, Sun and Moon slimes from Sinna!!

Sun slimes:

Has lil nubbin hands to wave and pat things and hold on to Moony fins

Is friendly and vegetarian, fav foods are either heart beets cause they’re full of love or pogofruit cause in the wild they’re the most unproblematic things next to Pink slimes

Has gummy teeth that couldn’t even bruise you if they tried, they just end up harmlessly nomming away

Their rays are soft and very bendy

Will get along with any slime except Ringtails (they turn to stone in the sun and Sun is sad about their very presence freezing their new friends, so they try to bring apology snacks to the statues but as soon as they hop away, the Ringtails make a swift exit-stage-right)

Is infatuated with chickadees (cause Babey Birbs) and will protect them from Tarrs by swallowing as many of them as possible and regurgitating them in a safe place when the coast is clear

Will use their friendliness to their advantage if their Moon is hurt e.g. is so friendly that they can roll up and swallow a hen or two without scaring the rest of the nest, then bring them back to feed their Moon, wherever they’re hiding

Will also protect their Moon by luring threats away and close to a cliff before knocking them off and into the blimey deep (ehehe the slimey deep of the Slime Sea, ahem anyway) below, has absolutely no morality issue with doing this even to another slime or a human they’ve never met before

Suns are usually harmless, but if they're particularly excited or angry, their touch will burn

Their slime is also flammable and can stick to other slimes, but slides right off Moons

Moon slimes:

Have fins and a light like Anglers, slightly more dexterous front fins to hold on to Sun nubbins

Eats meat, but will help their Sun get food, even scaring off other slimes when their Sun isn’t looking to secure food (and only when their Sun isn’t looking cause otherwise they would get an earful to “be nice”. Pft, like being nice gets their Sunny the best food like they deserve)

Also brings their Sun wild honey as a treat

Does not get along with Anglers (they get jealous if their Sun interacts with an Angler, also the Angler's light hurts their eyes), Ringtails or Hunters (because they’re cheeky little sh-)

They have Teeth™ and will use them to protect themselves and their Sun

Their light also hypnotises other slimes and chickens, but Suns are immune to it. It makes a little jingling sound when the hypnosis is in effect

Will go toe to toe (or blob to blob I guess-) with Tarrs, especially if their Sun is in danger with them

Are extremely stealthy, especially at night.

Is it part of their hypnotism or do they have something in common with Hunters? Viktor would like to know, but when he caught a pair, they were gone the next morning with a note in the corral that just said “better luck next time :p”

He spent the day hypothesising (read: having a minor mental breakdown scientific thought block) how in the hell they 1. managed to escape without breaking anything or setting off his alarms and 2. wrote. In readable English. Even BOb’s communications weren’t nearly as neat.

Facts about both:

They spawn together in pairs and only have the one pairing their entire lives

Rarely spotted, they seem to come and go and at most two pairs have ever been spotted at any one time, always in Starlight Strand

If you catch one but not the other, they will cry constantly (think sadge hungry boi and 'oshit there's a Tarr' sounds) and try to escape until they’re reunited in the same pen or free roam, not just adjacent pens. They will always be drawn to each other, so to find/lure their other half, just walk away with one in the Vacpack and the other will follow

Moon would try to free Sun by biting you and Sun will burn you if they bounce into you, so keep enough Vacpack space free for both

If an unpaired Moon is in a pen, they will start chewing through the corral walls. They’re smart enough to figure out that going for the barrier directly like other slimes do is much more difficult than attacking the barrier generator pillars which are much more solid than straining against a slippery forcefield

If an unpaired Sun is in a pen, a good chunk of your ranch may start to burn. I hope you have fire suppression and a good stain cleaner cause those burn marks aren’t coming out easy. Anything a distressed Sun touches will burn and the metal of your corral wall pillars is not heat proof

Even though Suns are so trusting and friendly, Moons are a lot less so, especially towards ranchers

They're smart enough to figure out that slimes disappearing into the suction tube and seldom being spit back out is Bad

Meanwhile Suns just want affection, trying to boop the rancher as soon as their Moon looks away cause Moon would try to nudge them away and scare/bite the rancher

Ogden swore he once saw a sick Sun, Viktor corroborated his account when he went to investigate and was attacked by an unnaturally dull and dark Sun. Unfortunately, he failed to capture it and when he returned with better equipment, it was gone. No one has seen it since, although Viktor hypothesised that it was a virus that could potentially spread to its Moon counterpart

What he actually saw was a Solar, a Sun which had forever lost its Moon for some unknown reason

Lunars are Moons that have lost their Suns, but no one in the community on the Range has ever seen one

If one is fired into the other with a Vacpack, they will form an Eclipse largo

(from left to right: Moon slime, Sun slime, Eclipse largo)

Eclipse largos:

Because of the velocity requirement (aka basically has to be yeeted together with considerable force, there's no need for them to combine in the wild), Eclipse largos are considered rancher-made instead of naturally-transforming by eating plorts like other largos

As a fusion of the two, they have the combined memories and personalities of Sun and Moon. As such, it is recommended to first gain the trust of and build a relationship with both slimes before fusing them or the resultant Eclipse may be difficult to manage

It’s not hard to have a decent relationship with Sun, but if you didn’t have one with Moon before fusion, you might find yourself nursing your wounds post-spontaneous bite in the middle of pets. Eclipse’s teeth are much, much worse than a cat’s nibblers

They hate being confined to a corral, much preferring to patrol the ranch instead

If the ranch is safe and nothing escaped, there is a chance they will unfuse at dawn and dusk. The chance that they unfuse is much higher if they leave the ranch at these times

They will herd loose slimes into the nearest corral, although occasionally this results in them getting themself stuck until the rancher frees them or they wreck the corral, whichever comes first

If they spot a Tarr, they will fight it by dragging it around with their teeth until it beats a hasty retreat or using its tentacles to throw it into the nearest body of (unoccupied by Puddles) water

They are also sometimes seen just staring into the distance at or near the edge of the ranch, always towards the East

You are not going to be able to force them to go anywhere, they are large and in charge. If you try to, you’re at a high risk of getting yourself or your Vacpack crushed between those dagger teeth

Luring them back to the ranch with the promise of cuddles, a honey-baked hen, cubed cubefruit and a water lettuce salad to wash it all down hasn’t failed yet

They will eat anything, including other slimes although genus cannibalism isn't going to be their first choice

Has there been recorded history of an Eclipse eating tech or a rancher? Viktor might have the answer to the former, but as for the latter… there are no living witnesses. Key word, living. And if the Far Far Range saw one unnamed rancher with a bad reputation gradually lose his slimes and disappear, no one saw anything

Eclipses may not have nubbins, but they can produce long tentacles that appear dark orange in the day and dark blue at night

Those tentacles would be warm or cool to the touch depending on Eclipse’s mood

Overall, not much is really known about them within the community of the Far, Far Range besides for rare sightings, but every time someone manages to capture a Sun or Moon, they escape the next day with an unsigned note left in the corral. Even Viktor’s surveillance tech hadn’t managed to catch the intruder’s identity, but he has footage of a tall figure in a dark cloak walking into his lab in the middle of the night and hacking into the containment unit he had the Sun and Moon in. The slimes hopped out of the open door and the figure looked straight at the camera, holding up a slim finger to their face with the faint glint of teeth and a glowing red eye in the shadow of their cloak as they held up the note, dropping it on the ground before the camera feed got corrupted.

AirLock Anon:

ok.

Space Mark x Dervish Slime y/n.

meeting mack.

Mack: WAAAAAA!

Y/n standing there innocently:

Mark: why is Mack in the tornado?

Y/n: he didn’t give me prickly pears.

Not to hijack this ask but I love this idea so I’m making it a fic <3

..............

"Why the hell are we back here again?"

"To restore the oases, duh!!"

"Really? Is that what we're doing here?" Mack scoffed as he turned to his fellow engineer lead, raising an eyebrow. "Tell me, Mark..what do you need for an oasis?"

"Uh, water-?"

"Right. Now tell me...DO YOU SEE ANY WATER HERE?!" He spread his arms far and wide, gesturing to the entirety of the Glass Desert, fuming red.

Yet Mark wasn't deterred from uncovering the mysteries of this place as he picked up his vacpack. "It’s not just any plain ol’ water. Legends say there’s fountains here with “magical” water that can revive the oases. We just gotta find them and give those buds some life.” He gestured to a nearby dried-up plant.

"..oh okay. Suuure. Let's get heat stroke while we're at it! Great!" Although clearly irritated at the idea of getting sand in his boots, Mack begrudgingly followed him. The teleporter broke so they had no choice but to stay for now.

As the pair wandered about, he noticed a few Slimes native to this region and their unique features: plants who can control vines, glass prisms with explosive sparkles, and purple ones with tornadolike bodies. Some of them appeared agitated, fighting over food.

‘Is it really that scarce here?’

Distracted, he failed to realized Mark stopped short and bumped into him. “Hey! The hell is your prob---huh?"

Looking over his shoulder, Mack blinked in shock at the presence of a Slime..human?

Sure enough, standing before them was a humanoid Slime with arms, a face, and a gooey smile. The lower half of their body was shaped like the rest of the Dervishes. As they moved around to examine the pair, the gelatinous ring spun around their hips.

“I thought the rumors of humans being here was too good to be true, but welcome!” You grinned, clapping your hands together. Though your cheeriness didn’t last as you felt your stomach rumbling, and you held it in annoyance, huffing. “Ugh..sorry about that. I’ve been hungry all day.”

The two men jumped as you conjured a dust tornado, sweeping it through a patch of sand. It only succeeded in tossing a poor painted hen in the air.

“It’s fine.” Mark smiled in reassurance. “Thanks for the welcome.” He then noticed a purple pear-shaped fruit hidden near a rock. But Mack beat him to the punch and picked it up, at first wincing as the thorns pricked his gloves.

“Huh, this is new.” He looked at you. “What’s this?”

“Oh! Prickle pears!” Your mouth was already watering as you gravitated towards him. “The Dervishes’ favorite! Fresh ones are rare to come by now ever since the oases dried out."

“..the oases are real?” His eyebrows furrowed. “I thought those were just a myth.”

“No, this place used to flourish with them. It looks so miserable now because nobody’s brought them back to life. Every rancher we’ve seen is scared of getting scorched by the storms..so they’ve stopped coming. But....” Again, your stomach rumbled, and you reached out to take the pear. “Sorry, I’m just so hungry!”

However he took a step back, causing you to frown as he tucked it under his arm. “Hey, what gives?”

“Where are these so-called “magic fountains”?”

“...Mack, are you serious?” Mark looked on in disbelief. “You’re really gonna starve them for information?! This is exactly what the captain told us not to do!”

The second engineer just rolled his eyes. “What they don’t know won’t kill them. So uh..Dervish, you better tell us where the--AH!!”

Out of nowhere a larger tornado picked him up and tossed him ten feet away from the two of you, getting a face full of hot sand as he crash-landed.

The pear fell in front of Mark, and he picked it up and immediately gave it to you. “Here you go. Sorry about him.”

You just nodded, being too hungry to care about anything else right now as you munched on the fruit, biting through the leathery skin. It tasted so fresh and absolutely sweet on the inside--savoring the flavor. Within seconds it was gone, satisfying your appetite for the time being.

“Still tastes amazing!” After swallowing the last bite, you smiled the human. “I can lend you some more to grow if we get at least one oasis up and running again. I can show you where the reservoirs are. I’m [y/n], by the way.”

“Okay, [y/n]!” With a giddy grin, Mark hoisted his vacpack, though he heard yelling and looked over his shoulder to see Mack trying to get his yellow beret from a Tangle Slime’s vine, who was waving it in the air.

He glanced at you again, sighing. “He’ll catch up. Lead the way.”
