#I think I'll call this the mikeybear au

[honey-bunnysaurus]

Okay, it’s silly time, folks. AU where (young) Michael Afton possesses the Fredbear plush. We don’t need to get into the specifics of how he dies (still working on that) but I do want to discuss how his soul winds up inside of our old friend Fredbear. Now, see, I have this headcanon that a spirit must have a connection to something in order to possess it, and Michael? Not a whole lot of connection to good ol’Fredbear. I didn’t want to break this headcanon, so I was scratching my head for a while, thinking about how to make this work and then I had a delightful idea.

Fun fact about my Michael Afton, he has a sharp gold tooth. (How he gets this implant is a story for another day.) Just a small bit of metal, pure enough to absorb a scrap of Remnant. After Michael’s death, Evan collects his big brother’s tooth and secretly places it inside of his favorite teddy bear for safe keeping. A little creepy something, made sweet by a small child’s innocent intentions. The Remnant inside the golden tooth seeps into the plush, creating a plush vessel for Mikey.

Alternatively, another funny little idea I had is Evan and Elizabeth intentionally bringing Michael back. The little ones find their father’s hidden notes about Remnant and resurrection theory, and they do not think twice about what to do next. The golden tooth is still used as a conduct. Fredbear is the selected vessel for he is soft and much beloved, and Plush Foxy’s head is still missing. Together, Evan and Elizabeth don too big rubber gloves and goggles like proper scientists, and harness the power of love, unholy horrors, and weird science to bring their big brother back.

The outcome of each idea is the same. Michael Afton in the form of a cute and cuddly, chaotic teddy bear. He may be small, but still plenty capable of causing big amounts of trouble.
