#but basically he tells y/n about his time before sun and moon when he was alone at the daycare

[naffeclipse]

AHHHH, ok follow up question because how could I not after that delicious angst?! (I still cannot get over the fact that he actually asked for forgiveness. Eclipse.)

So, now I'm SO curious on how he would even try and fix it after that. Because y/n was very clear on the not forgiving him part. Like, I imagine he of course wouldn't just try directly again so soon. Maybe he even has to just, sit down and consider everything. He knows loyalty. But does he truly know trust? The one thing he has now apparently lost regarding y/n.

Like, aside from his brothers, most of his thinking is in the concept of exchange. I wonder if at first he'd consider giving y/n knowledge of a similar type about him (as he held about them) would show them he actually wan't intending to use it as a means of hurting them. But then quickly dismiss the idea. Because not only is being vulnerable one of the things Eclipse hates (and maybe even fears?) the most, but it's also not just HIS past, but his brothers' as well. So not only would that be a repeat of revealing something without someone else's consent, but no matter how much he knows the vigilante values his brothers, I can't see him giving out any information to anyone regardless of who they are if it could even remotely hurt his brothers with something so personal.

Maybe he would just decide to stand back as he sorts himself out? His brothers are furious at him, and so is y/n, so what point would there be in insisting when that tentative closeness that had been building again just seems to have crumbled? So maybe he'd just be silent for a time? Actually thinking on how everything just goes wrong again and again and maybe thinking back to previous mistakes. Maybe realizing that the bare minimum to keep his brothers happy and trying to keep indulging his more violent tendencies isn't enough after all. Because after this, how much control can he actually claim to have over himself? Not to say he would suddenly just go, ah yes, they have always been right and I wrong, because it's undeniable that what he did in the past worked and it technically got them far. So it's an internal battle of how much of this is him and how much is him not bothering (or not wanting) to get his darkest emotions and impulses under control.

And oooh, just thinking about the other side as well! Like, y/n mentions explicitly that they are going to Sun and Moon after this, still needing the comfort, but it does seem they have some new bits of info to chew on. Nothing that they would go feeling bad about, and they would be more than justified in that! But I imagine they might discuss it all the same with the detectives, especially if they arrive stillclearly pissed off. I do wonder how the boys would react to y/n telling them of the encounter. Probably angry that Eclipse approached them so soon after all, but maybe surprised that he did not actually try to force them to stay and listen to him more. And what of the bits of the conversation y/n might let slide. Like knowing that Eclipse is very convinced that his brothers see him as nothing but a monster. And maybe y/n is also unsure about it. Why do they forgive them so easily anyway?

Which reminds me! Technically Eclipse never received an answer to that (understandably as it started the whole problem in the first place), and I doubt he will ask again after what happened. He never did receive the answer of why it was so easy for them to welcome y/n who compared to Eclipse could be considered a stranger. I wonder if he'd try to come up with the answer or just prefer to not get one after all. And if he does wonder, would he think it's because the way they learned of y/n's life under Afton's rule was in a detached way? An investigation that stated facts but involved no personal toll? Is it because in Eclipse's case they witnessed it from a closer point? Did they consider it a betrayal? They do despise lies because of those years after all.

Either way, I can see it as a very lonely time for Eclipse, trying to sort himself out after this, especially after managing some closeness that he might not get again for some time yet. I wonder if some radio silence from him would worry the detectives about him falling back to his old ways again...

So, so, so, so normal about Bounty Hunter Eclipse, I swear (Lying, so much lying XD)

AHHH OKAY! I had my time to chew over this, and eee, I think you'll like it! ♥

It is a horribly lonely time for Eclipse, but he takes much of his fury out on his bounties, so whoops, RIP to those guys, but that only proves everything that his brothers and Y/N are saying is wrong with him.

Cooling down takes a long, excruciating time. Eclipse has his head back on his shoulders and knows that barging in demanding answers and confrontation isn't going to work. He might not ever get back those bridges he was building.

Yet, after a couple weeks of isolation and ruminating, he ventures back to Sun's and Moon's apartment. He can tell by the slight window crack that the vigilante just made a hasty escape—which causes his hands to clench but it's what's needed. He needs to talk to Sunny and Moonie alone.

It's not the best reunion (a lot of those happening lately) but the same old argument begins about Eclipse and his ways before he snaps and flat-out demands to know why. Why can they forgive and love Y/N and see them in the best light but he, their older brother, can't be in their graces?

A long pause grows before Sun and Moon look at Eclipse and tell him that he's not trying. He's not better. Yeah, he quit being a thug for a stupid gang but he's still bloody and violent and obsessive to a dangerous degree. He's not trying to atone nor seek forgiveness. Y/N is, though, and even though Y/N doesn't see it, Sun and Moon believe Y/N to have a change of heart. They just want Eclipse to have that same revelation and try and come home.

Eclipse is shocked into silence. He doesn't say anything for a long time, and all there is silence. There's some much he wants to explode with until he admits that he can't. He doesn't know how to. This is who he is now and it is what helped them all to survive.

Sun and Moon tell him that it's okay, that he can, and that they will help him if he lets them. They will make sure their big brother survives, too. They'll take care of him.

It feels so wrong for Eclipse. He struggles with his pride and always being the one to watch out for Sun and Moon. He almost walks away again because that would be easier and his pride would still be intact, but he thinks of Y/N. What he thought was a perfect likeness between them is offset by the fact that Y/N didn't lose themselves to the darkness of survival, hardship, and pain.

Swallowing it all down, Eclipse at last nods. He'll try. He has Sun and Moon behind him now even though he's going to hate every second of this, he will try.

Sexy to Someone

Stanford!Art Donaldson x ShyStanford!Fem Reader

cw: minor use of y/n, small illusion to sex, minor cursing.

(loosely inspired by Sexy to Someone by Clairo<3)

Here you were sitting on the rigid, balmy bleachers of your campuses tennis court cringing at the way your thighs stuck to it in your denim shorts. You don’t even know why you’re here you tried to lie to yourself when you caught your eyes following his every move.

You watched as his sculpted body dripped with sweat after every move twirling the tattered wire of your old earphones. He had you in a trance Art fucking Donaldson completely controlled your mind without even knowing your name.

The final thirty minutes of his practice passed without you even realizing until you saw his lanky body stalk his way towards you until he sat beside you before speaking.

“What’s your name?” he prompted noticing how your body twitched as he got closer.

“Y/n” you said looking down at the pink chipped polish of your toenails avoiding his gaze.

“Y/n?” Art repeated watching closely at your body language before speaking again.

“I’ve noticed you watching us do you wanna join sometime and hit a few balls?”

“Oh no no I don’t play I just like watching sorry if you find that weird.” you confessed tugging at your left ear feeling it heat up.

Art let out a light laugh that sent shivers down your spine and a warm feeling between your legs

“Oh definitely not weird I think it’s cute” he spoke his gaze softening as he studied your features.

“Nobody really cares about our practices usually just the big matches i’m glad you understand how interesting our practices can be.”

You blinked up at him hearing the words come out of his mouth. “He thinks i’m cute?” you thought to yourself as you smiled up at him.

“Tell you what” Art continued.

“Next time I see you here i’ll give you a private lesson how does that sound?” he raised his eyebrow towards you waiting for a response.

“I’d really like that” you replied giving him the most genuine smile you could find the courage to put on.

“Great then it’s a date” he grinned at you before grabbing his bags waving you off as he left the bleachers heading towards the locker rooms.

You spent the rest of your day in a hazy daze thinking about your “date” with the star of Stanford’s Men’s Tennis team.

You think about telling your roommate before deciding against it knowing she’d never believe you anyways.

Here you were laying in your small dorm room bed fantasizing about your life with Art after barely knowing him for thirty minutes before drifting to sleep hoping he wouldn’t go back on his proposed idea.

The next afternoon, you arrived at the tennis courts earlier than usual. You found a spot on the bleachers, clutching your purse tightly.

Watching as the team practiced, your eyes always finding Art. He moved with so much confidence, getting your attention almost effortlessly.

As the practice session ended, Art caught your eye and waved. Your heart skipping a beat as he approached the row of bleachers you sat on quickly taking a seat beside you.

"Y/N," he greeted, his smile gleamed in the sun as he spoke to you. "Ready for your lesson?"

You nodding quickly, too quickly for your liking as you mentally cursed yourself to calm down as he handed you a racket leading you to the court.

Listening attentively as he talked you through the basics, his patience with you easing your nerves just enough to get you the heavy pit of doubt out of your stomach.

As the sun faded and the moon rises the two of you sat beside eachother on the court catching your breath.

“You know you’re pretty good for a beginner and someone who’s never picked up a racket a day in their life” he spoke easing the tension as he nudged you playfully.

You laughed softly finally locking eyes directly with him for the first time in the last twenty four hours.

"But what I really like about you is that you have this quiet determination It's endearing." he spoke reading your eyes for any signs of emotion.

Your heart swelled at his words. Glancing at him, feeling a connection you’ve never experienced before. "Thank you, Art. For everything."

Art leaned in closer, your faces inches apart.

"Anytime, Y/N," he murmured, his voice soft. "I'm glad you watched me. And I'm glad I finally got to see you, too."

In that moment, under the fading light, you felt a sense of belonging you had never known. Art had seen you really seen you, and in doing so, had made you feel so special.

And as you two sat together, sharing stories and dreams, you knew this was just the beginning of something beautiful.

Over the next few weeks, You and Art's private lessons became a regular thing.

Each session brought you two closer, your bond growing stronger with every shared laugh and encouraging word.

Art would often stay behind after practice, teaching you not just the game of tennis, but also how to open up and let your guard down. In his presence, you felt yourself transforming, your shyness gradually giving way to a quiet confidence.

after a particularly intense practice, the two of you sat side by side on the bleachers, shoulders touching.

The conversation flowed easily, filled with shared secrets and dreams. Art looked at you. His eyes reflecting the soft glow of the setting sun.

"You know, Y/N," he said, his voice gentle, "I've always thought you were beautiful.

“You’ve noticed me before now?” You stammered out as your heart skipped a beat causing you to tug at your ear again.

“Of course I did, never had enough courage to make a move. He admitted with a soft chuckle.

You cut his laugh short quickly catching his lips between yours as you moved yourself into his lap as his hands fell on your waist kissing you back gently.

For the first time in your life, you felt desirable, valued not just for your looks but for your spirit.

Finally, you were sexy to someone.

FNAF Security Breach - Catching Their Eye (Glamrock Bonnie & Daycare Attendant)

Bonnie

He’s not particularly close to any humans

Of course, he’s always polite and jovial with employees, but he doesn’t really cultivate relationships with them

He basically treats them the same as guests

But one day, he finds himself noticing you

It’s your personality that makes you stand out

Specifically, your sense of humor

The little jokes and quips you crack while interacting with guests brings a smile to his face

He actually ends up borrowing some of your material

From then on he keeps an eye (and an ear) on you

At first he’s just looking for a laugh himself, and maybe some inspiration for jokes

He trains himself to catch your voice over the noise of other guests

He learns to love the sound

After a while he decides to approach you

He tells himself it’s to ask official permission to use your material, but secretly he also wants to meet a fellow silly

“You come here often?”

“Kinda. I mean, I live in the walls, so…”

He lights up, absolutely delighted to engage in some comedic banter

He loses track of time talking to you

He even forgets his surroundings, completely oblivious to the children muttering excitedly as they “casually” walk past him several times

Eventually you have to separate though; you’re both still technically on the clock

It’s you that has to break your little bubble; he’s way too enraptured to do it himself

You walk away, hurrying off to your next task

He’s frozen in time while he watches you go

He’s sad to end the interaction, but at the same time he’s buzzing with joy that it even happened in the first place

Daycare Attendant (Sun)

He tries to remember every face he meets

Unfortunately he meets a lot of faces, and he often gets them mixed up

At first, you’re no exception

He calls you by at least three different names before getting it right

But the way you smile when he finally learns your name…

It sticks with him

Your name doesn’t though; he immediately forgets it again

So he gives you a ((very creative)) name in his head: “smiley”

He doesn’t actually call you that though

He just watches from afar, going “there’s smiley!!” in his head whenever he sees you

He does tend to stare, just because he wants to see if he can catch that smile again

One day you catch him, and you smile and wave

He just about short circuits right there

He leaps into the air, bounding around energetically and laughing victoriously

“Smiley smiled at me!!”

He doesn’t really look where he’s going, and eventually he comes to a stop right in front of you

You can’t hold back your laughter at his over the top reaction

From that moment on he dedicates himself to making you smile more often

Daycare Attendant (Moon)

He’s very good at remembering people; his mind is like an iron cage

But he doesn’t interact with people too often

He usually just waits to overhear someone’s name, or for them to tell it to him

It’s a rare occurrence for him to actually ask for someone’s name

So it’s a bit of an occasion when he approaches you to ask for your name

He was enchanted by your appearance, having caught sight of you from afar

He waited patiently for you to come to him; close enough that he could speak to you

Then he introduces himself, apologizing when you jump

“I didn’t mean to startle you. What’s your name?”

“That’s alright. I’m Y/n.”

He nods slowly

He decides that your name is just as beautiful as your appearance

He’ll continue to watch you, mostly from afar, but sometimes he’ll venture closer

You won’t see him in the darkness, but you might hear him whispering your name

It’s a little habit he’s developed; he’ll whisper your name just to hear the sound of it

It reminds him of you and your beauty

Needless to say, very infatuated with you

You’re like a fine jewel to him, something to be admired, something special in a sea of plain faces and names

Thank you so much for reading!! And thank you to the lovely person who suggested this ;D take care <33

♡₊˚ a piece of you・₊✧

ft: isagi, rin.

notes: their habits and idiosyncrasies 🫧 𓇼 ೀ

part/series: 1.0 2.0

wc: 1809

yes i named this after the song u have to listen to it its utter perfection

makes me feel like the world is ENDING but you're in love, so it's okay ;)

taking a tiny baby little break from the in the mornings series to write this one (shameless plug, go check it out bcs rin and isagi r everything)

i have been gone for a while, SO SORRY life happened :(

god listening to the song makes me cry for a love (i never had)

okay isagi my lover's up first

isagi yoichi 💙🧿🫧

isagi will cook and clean and prep everything for your arrival back home. when he's not at a game, far, far away, with only the isolated moon as his company (he wonders how he ever slept alone in a bed before), he basically becomes a doting house-husband.

when you're about to come home, he'll have prepped everything and made everything as neat and perfect as he will. because in his heart, your happiness comes first.

if the sun didn't shine at your workplace, or wherever you were out, he'll bring the sun back home.

"you didn't need to do this- isagi-"

"i wanted to, baby." he holds a finger against your lips and gives you that soft, sweet, slow kiss that never hesitates to make your world spin and clouds disappear and a garden of love bloom in your heart.

"now, let's eat."

AGHAHAHGHAHGH house husband isagi is best isagi and i will not believe otherwise

this isn't the only thing he does...

isagi will also get in his little sentimental moods. he'll spend his days scouring images of you, walking around the house, and one time even smelling your shampoo.

it's a fondness that grows in the utter core of his being when he's with you, and without you, he feels a little alone. like a neglected plant in a vast, vast field, he'll grow again when he's with you.

and he's also a little frightened. you wouldn't believe that one of the best strikers in the world'd be frightened, but these inner voices that whisper in his mind, a hypnotizing siren's song, tell him "he's not good enough."

when you're not there, only the voices remain, eating at him from the inside.

after all, he's not the most athletic, the best technique. he just has his mind, and when that starts to fail, what else does he have?

you come home to no warm meal one night. rain plops steadily with a thunk-thunk noise on your roof, and you see isagi staring vacantly at an empty TV screen.

you call out his name, but he doesn't respond. keeps on staring at that TV, blank as can be. you feel a soft shiver down your spine, but you shake it off and creep on the couch next to him.

"isagi, are you-?"

you don't finish your sentence before he wraps you up in a hug. it's crushing, like if he lets go of you you'll leave, and he'll be surrounded by the torrent of his own emotions.

he'll drown in them.

blue eyes look down at you wide and you can see the tinge of anxiety.

"listen to me," because you've seen this mood many a time before, "you are good enough, isagi yoichi. the glue that holds the team together- it's you. you're perfect the way you are."

and the wan smile that he had on before explodes into a defeaning, perfect crescendo. isagi's real smile, reserved for truly joyous moments with his team or simply whenever he's with you, is blinding and beautiful to behold.

"thanks, y/n, i really needed that." now, he presses a soft kiss onto your lips, and you're met with the heady taste of chocolate (you glimpse discarded wrappers in the corner of your eye). his lips are so soft, so pillowy that you can feel your heart stop and your body become fully aware of him.

you melt against him, souls intertwined, then take him by the hand. "now, let's go make dinner."

oh my goodness okay okay isagi fever is real

next blue lock dream man is up!! (they're all dreamy perfect beautiful but still)

rin itoshi ˖𓍢ִ໋🍃✧°.💚

rin is caring, no doubt about that, but also a victim of his own genius. sometimes, he stays late at the field, practicing kicks and plays with undying fervor.

it's like a light has switched on his mind and it refuses to be switched off- it's hard to understand the inner workings of rin's mind, sometimes.

tonight is one of those days that he's just completely fired up. for whatever reason, he stays two hours after practice. no texts, no calls, and he leaves you staring at the clock anxiously. by now, dinner has gotten cold, and the only thing you can hear is the rhythmic tap of your fingers on the kitchen counter.

like, silence has never been so loud.

rin walks in around ten minutes later, face sweaty and hair a mess. he reaches out to hug you, but you decidedly step away and cross your arms.

you're a little bit more than mad. "where have you been?"

your boyfriend's brows furrow. "at the field, where else would i be?"

you scoff. it's not like you want to start an argument, but he needs to know where to draw the line. "well, i don't know. i called you like, three times but you didn't pick up."

"it's not the first time this happened," rin sighs, scratching the back of his neck, teal eyes downcast at the floor. normally, you would've left it at that, but you realize if you don't put your foot down now, this perpetual cycle of anxious worry will continue.

you gaze straight at his face pointedly. "yeah, it's not. which is why i'd like it to stop before it continues."

rin groans. "come on, y/n. i know i messed up, alright? i promise not to do it again."

"that's what you said the last time, and the time before that too." your voice is calm, measured, carefully controlled. then it breaks. "i'm just worried about you, rin."

he opens up his arms in search of another comforting embrace. you're not sure if it's more for you or for him. his teal eyes cloud over a little bit with sadness.

"i'm sorry, okay? i shouldn't have left you hanging like that."

"yeah, you shouldn't have."

"but-" rin's eyes alight with a determined fire, that very same fire he gets when he's on the field, that very same fire that can melt your heart into a puddle and make you weak in the knees, before he opens his mouth, "i'm done making excuses, y/n."

you don't even realize that you're crying until you look down and see the bottom of your, or rather rin's hoodie, slightly damp. rin's at your side in a flash, cupping your face with warm palms. the warmth of his skin on yours threatens to set your heart aflame.

"y/n, you're the end goal," he promises, while staring deep into your eyes. your vision is full of him- the slightly curved bow of his lips, hair pointing every which way, but most of all, his eyes, which seem to send an unspoken message to yours.

you can feel all your nerves sparking alight with the intensity of his gaze.

his lips press on yours decidedly, insistently, with no disguise of softness. you surrender immediately and throw your arms around him, and they nestle on the curve of his neck while he presses you flush against him.

it's electric, and you think you'll never quite have enough of rin itoshi. his tongue gently slides into your mouth, meeting yours, and you sigh.

"i love you. so much."

your head can barely come out of the kiss-induced daze. "i love you too," you respond, and the two of you melt against each other.

outside, the night is young, and the stars wink brightly down, as if to foreshadow a good omen. you smile against rin's lips and kiss him, this time is soft, sweet, and slow.

YESSS this made me rememberr how much i love writing on tumblr loll

you know what's coming next.. ;)

rin is also very possessive. maybe it's because he's used to getting what he wants, where he wants, when he wants it. especially in football, he basically always gets what he wants with how hard he works.

you were actually the exception to the rule- unlike the population of the rest of japan- you didn't fall for him at first sight. of course, that only made him love you more, and make the wait worth both your whiles.

anyways, if he sees another guy's hands on you, it's game over for the guy. in your case, your friend's slinging his arm around your shoulders while you two are walking down the street after getting coffee.

"and like, she totally cussed him out," your friend stage whispers, and you laugh.

"oh my god, really? but like-"

rin rounds the corner just then, smiling in a way that would be uncharacteristic to anybody else except for you. "hey, babe, i brought you some coffee-" then he sees your friend's arms around your shoulders, and his eyes darken.

your friend, however, doesn't seem to notice. "is that your boyfriend?"

before you can respond, rin interjects. "yeah. i'm her boyfriend." he says it so matter-of-factly, so aggressively, that you wonder how your friend doesn't realize rin's intentions.

because your friend probably doesn't have a death wish, and also because you don't want to see your boyfriend behind bars, you step out from underneath your friend's arm.

"hey, rin," you press your hands against his chest and peck him softly on the cheek. he relaxes, but instead winds an arm around your waist, pressing you close to his side. you almost blush in embarrassment at his clearly possessive behavior.

your friend seems to take the hint. "so, i'm just gonna go now..." you wave goodbye, while rin just looks at his retreating form with a glare.

secretly, you're kind of more amused than anything. also, it's kind of endearing to see how much he cares. you roll your eyes. "what was that all about?" knowing full well what it's about.

rin grumbles. "i didn't like his arm around your shoulders."

you bat his arm playfully. "so what? it's not like i'm dating him or anything..."

rin's eyes spark with that very same fire again. thankfully, you guys have moved past the stage of your relationship where rin would actually argue with you about this sort of thing. "that's right, cause you're dating me."

to prove his point, he presses his lips against yours and pulls you tight to him. he's only wearing a tank top, and you can feel the hard press of his muscles, warm through the thin fabric.

rin kisses like he plays football- all or nothing- and the heady, intoxicating sensation is enough to make you forget where you are, why you're there. a passerby wolf-whistles, but the two of you barely register it.

all you feel is the way your body slots perfectly against his, the sensation of his lips sending a wave of heat coursing through your body all the way down to your toes, and the soft press of his fingers, one on your cheek, the other rubbing soft circles on your hips.

then, he grins mischievously and pulls away, leaving you standing there for a second before clearing your thoughts and catching up to him.

"you did that on purpose," you complain. rin simply smirks as if to say i did, didn't i? and winds his arm around your shoulders this time, as the two of you walk forwards together into the sunlight.

Star's Don't Shine They Burn, Info!

I wanted to post about each of the MAIN characters in my fic! SOOOOOOOOOOO, HERE WE GO!

Y/n:

YOU are THE main character of my fic. I won't get too deep into your past (Spoilers) but what you should know is that you are a Mage, you had a crappy childhood before being found by the three Automatrons, and a MAJOR incident caused you to finally run away from your Royal Life with Sun, Moon, and Eclipse.

You ran away, caught a one-way boat out of the capital, and hitchhiked a wagon. There you meet a 'Straight-to-the-point' Ogre, who lets you stay with him for a price.

There you learn all kinds of new skills, skills that don't require magic. For eight years you live a peaceful life, taking over the land while the Ogre-Ivan-went off to travel the world.

You also have a stutter that only comes out when you're very scared or uncertain of something.

Sun:

Sir Sun is your (ex) Dad. He's one of the three emperors that rule over the land.

He can wield Mana, just like his two husbands can. He mostly uses it as during combat, either as a defense or an offense.

Sun is the leader of the Celestial Guard, an order of Knights he founded when he was crowned emperor.

He LOVES to do arts & crafts with you. As well as teach you how to use a sword, how to size up an opponent, and how to use your wits during a battle. He also encouraged you to be adventurous and would often get you both in trouble

He was the one who lead out scouting missions himself to find you when you ran away. He's also the one who finally tracked you down after meeting with an informant

Some things he would say: "Out a bit more elbow grease into your swing, Bunny! There you go! Look at you! A born natural!" "You're doing great! Just DON"T LOOK DOWN!...AND DON"T TELL YOUR PAPA OR FATHER!!" "It'll all be okay in the end, sweetie...Someday you'll see..."

Moon:

Mage Moon is your (ex) Papa. He's also one of the three emperors.

His mana is more potent than Sun's and his knowledge of the Mystical is second to none.

Moon is the Head Mage of the Academy of Mana, where he also leads an elite group of mages called the Order of Lunara. All mages that serve in the order are trained by him personally.

He was the one who found you in the first place, sensing an unknown and unheard-of power in you (Which I will explain in later chapters). After a few more trips to your run down home, he decided to take you to the palace, were you met Eclipse and Sun.

Moon was also the one who taught you to read and write, as well as how to control your Mana and cast simple spells, such as creating a small flame, or making something levitate.

When you ran away, he locked himself in his study, trying all kinds of spells and runes to see if he could find you or any trace of your Mana from any complicated spells you might have used.

Some things he would say: "The pen is mightier than the sword...But a Mana infused Stone Golem trumps any pen you use." "Shh, it was only a nightmare, Starlight. I'm here and I'll never let any nightmare touch you again. I swear." "The pain is only temporary...Know that this hurts me more than it hurts you...It'll be okay...just a few more minutes..."

Eclipse:

Alright...This Automatron...is basically the one in charge of the WHOLE empire. He's the main emperor because he does ALL the Royal stuff. He doesn't have an order he teaches or guards he trains.

He just does all the paperwork and goes to meetings and such and such.

His Mana is WAY more potent than his husbands. And his knowledge on the dark arts is astounding. In his free time, he even does small experiments, jotting down results in one of his many journals.

He instantly fell in love with you when your first met. After that he immediately called you his heir and gave you everything and anything you could need and desire.

You would mostly spend your days with him, since Sun and Moon were busy with other people and Eclipse was bored with paperwork.

You both would have tea together, go shopping in the city market, settle down in the library and practice your reading. You would learn everything there is to know about being a princess and he even taught you how to dance and play instruments.

When you ran away, he went...well MAD. He searched for you high and low, paranoid that someone would know where you went, or was keeping you prisoner. He would imprison and torture anyone who he thought was keeping you from him.

Multiple times Sun and Moon had to calm him down when he took thing sway too far. Like attacking a visiting royal for no reason.

He was fuming by the fact that he couldn't go out there and search for you himself, but his husbands convinced him to stay and run the Empire.

Some things he would say: "One, two, three. One, two, three. Excellent work Starfire! At this rate you'll be the best dancer in the entire Empire! HaHa!" "I know, I know. I'm sorry I can't play with you right now, love. But I have to look over these reports...hm...Why don't you sit down at the piano over there and play me one of your songs?" "I. Regret. NOTHING! Everything I have done; I have done for YOU!" That's enough of my info dumping! Hope you've enjoyed!

Moonlight

Been thinking of an au where Sans is a banished moon god and you’re the daughter of The Sun, in the form of Sunlight. You’re one of many, but you’re the only one who dared to visit the moon god…

—————

A lone twinkling light floats over the night sky, like a space firefly. Your silken dress trails behind you, catching your light, like a flickering flame.

You left the earth at sundown, along with your many sisters. But this was unlike your usual travels- you weren’t with your sisters. It feels weird, the sky feels empty without them. You should’ve gone with them, to go home towards the sun, your mother. Instead… you were flying in the earth’s shadow, towards the darkened moon.

You don’t know how it happened, it just… did. Maybe because as the sun started to set and you looked up at the stars, they remembered about the moon, his myths and legends.

“They said he tried to destroy the earth, once.” Loni said. “He failed and fled to the moon.”

“They said he hates life… he hates the ring of gods, at the very least.”

“Do you think he’s even real…?” Thea wondered, prompting the rest of them to look at her.

“Thea!” One of them cried. “Of course he’s real!”

“How do you know?” She prompted. “Have you ever seen a depiction of The moon? I bet the humans don’t even know he exists.”

“But-”

“Have you ever seen him directly?”

“...”

No one has seen the moon in eons. Persumably since he was banished.

“No one can go to the moon… of course we’ve never seen him.”

“They said mother chained him thousands and thousands of years ago. If he could escape, I bet we’d have seen him.”

“... Would you go to the moon to see him?”

The rest of the girls get a giddy look on their faces when Thea’s expression sours a little. She doesn’t say anything.

You look up at the darkening sky as your other sisters leave earth.

“... I would.”

Everyone’s head snapped to look at you. You’d stayed quiet during the entire conversation, you bet most had forgotten you were there as well.

“(Y/n)?? Really?!”

They sounded scandalous.

“I want to know.” You said simply.

“You want to go there?” Loni grimaces. “No way… that’s so scary… and it’s forbidden... are you sure you want to?”

“Yeah. I’ll go alone.”

Their jaws collectively drop. As you ascend into the sky, the look on their faces tell you that they know they should stop you, but they don’t. Like children who’s seeing a big no-no but want to know what happens anyway.

You just wanted to know. It was a good question. Presumably the last being to see The Moon was your mother. The other gods literally wouldn’t touch it.

Just a little peek. Then you’ll leave.

The distant stars are your only company. You don’t think you’ve been without your mother’s light for a long time. Or alone, for the matter.

Before long, you’ve arrived on the moon.

The dust poofs away when your feet touch the ground. Almost immediately you realize that it’s… too quiet.

In the sky it was quiet but serene. Here, it felt… dead. The moon was gray, dull. Barren and devoid of life. It was nothing like earth (which was basically your second home), bustling and loud. Even when you stood alone in fields of grass, the wind was there to accompany you. There was just… nothing, here.

Your mother’s light doesn’t reach here, in the shadows. It was just you.

The only sound was your footsteps on the lunar surface. You didn’t really know where you were going, but you could see something that looked like a temple in the distance. You’ve seen plenty of temples on earth, mostly dedicated to your mother. You’ve seen temples for the other gods too, and even a shrine for the sun’s daughters. But… you’ve never seen this one. It looks, fittingly, like no one’s been here for centuries, thousands of years even. There’s a symbol on it… a sphere with an arc in it.

You’re very confident that’s where you’re heading.

Entering it, you have an unshakable feeling that you’re not supposed to be here. You know that already, but now it feels like your body is screaming at you to run out. It’s somehow even quieter in here than it was outside- like doors and windows were just shut on you, the air being sucked out.

The temple would have been completely dark if it wasn’t for you. Where your light falls short, was a black void.

You couldn’t deny it, you were shaking. Your fingers trembled, your legs felt weak. You took in a slow, shuddering breath.

Even if he’s here… and the pit in your stomach is telling you that he is, he’s chained. Otherwise he’d already be running amok. Mother would know.

The temple itself wasn’t very large (and you wondered what it’d be used for if it wasn’t for the moon god’s rampage), and it didn’t take long before you’ve descended into a spacious room with some grim looking prison bars. You could hear your heart, it was so quiet.

Just a little bit ahead of you, on the far wall beyond the bars, you saw a hunched figure on the floor. You could barely see him, thanks to your light (which was dimmer, on account of the fear the moon struck).

You hold your breath- the figure moved. He wore a dark gray cloak that draped over him, keeping his face in the shadows. The shadows around your light cut deep. A chill runs over your spine when you see a skeletal hand extend out of the robe, touching your light.

It was like seeing a ghost.

He turned his hand over, like he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. A hoarse voice, marred from years of being unused, calls out.

“... sun…?”

He sounds… slightly… irate.

You make a small gasp when two sharp, unkind glowing eyes looked at you from under the hood.

Then… you see a wide grin stretch out on his face, illuminated by your light.

“oooh….” He drawls, “what do we have here?”

His voice was dark and ancient. It somewhat resembled the voice of the ‘big’ gods- distorted. It sounds as if he’s whispering to you, yet you could feel the power in his voice hitting you like a hurricane wind.

You were stuck- frozen. Watching the moon god of myths turn to look at you better.

“hello there, child of sun.” He greets you with what you feel like is faux hospitality.

He was waiting for a response.

“H…. hello there, Moon,” you reply with as much respectful reverence as possible, bowing to him. He looks smugly pleased with your behavior.

“very good… what is your name, little light?”

You wanted nothing more than to flee. But you had a sneaking suspicion that doing so might give banished god a grudge on you.

“I-” your voice cracked. “I’m (Y/n).”

You sounded braver on the second try. You’re sure you look much braver than you are.

The god acknowledges you. “welcome, (y/n). let me introduce yourself- i’m sure i don’t need to tell you who i am… i hope?”

That was a rhetorical question if you ever heard one. Hastily, you shook your head.

“good… but i’m sure your dear mother wouldn’t want anyone to know my name. oh, she’s tried so hard to forget me…” he chuckles bitterly. “so let me introduce myself. my name is sans.

“so, (y/n).” Sans uttered. “what brings you here, to my lowly prison… one which was once my domain?”

“Uh…”

“did your mother send you? to check on this miserable joke of a god? shackled to his supposed land of power?”

His grin was becoming sharper and his voice started to get louder. You had to reassure- no, diffuse him.

“N-no, Moon Sans.”

He seems almost surprise to hear you say his name, enough that he temporarily forgets his anger.

“... i haven’t heard anyone use that name in years…”

His grin had fallen a little.

You look innocently at him. “That is what people call you, right..?”

His expression darkens. “that is my name, but… no.”

“they call me the ‘one cast in darkness’. ‘banished brother’. the ‘dark one’. … feh. the one’s in the light love to… throw shade. the ones i called my brethren. they can’t even look at me… they threw me in here and never looked back. ” He spits.

“so… what brought a sweet little drop of sunlight to the barren moon, hm?”

The way his voice switched from dripping with poison to dripping with honey unnerved you.

“did you come to see this hideous face?”

You almost reactively take a step back when the god leans forward, more of his face revealed in the light. Part of you were expecting it, but you’ve only heard of sparse descriptions of the moon god. When you saw his skeletal face, his eyelights set in midnight black sockets, it took everything in you to keep your face neutral, lest you offended the god.

You gulped. If his temper was as famous as his stories were (and you were sure you saw his fuse ignite), would he be upset with your answer?

“N… no.” You wouldn’t call him hideous. You’ve just never seen a god that looked like him before. “I… I wanted to see if you were real.”

A flash of red on his face.

“hahahahah!” He bellowed suddenly, harshly. “of course. i’m sure i’m just a forgotten myth by now, aren’t i? no one’s visited here since your wretched mother-” You flinched, “-chained me here, left me to rot. they all did. the joke is on them… i won’t fade away like they hoped- prayed i would. one day the light will die and i’ll be there to make them pay.”

A growl rips out of his throat at his last words- you couldn’t help it, you squeaked. The banished god’s eyes snapped to look at you, the snarl on his face turning back to a smile that was too soft after his burst if anger.

“oh…. you poor thing…” Sans coos. It was like his voice was caressing you in the worst ways. “i’m sorry, did i scare you? little light… you don’t deserve my ire, you had nothing to do with my entrapment.”

You’re clutching onto your scarf, enough so that you feel like it would rip. You’re quite surprised, actually- you were sure the moon god would have such a deep grudge for your mother that he’d hate her daughters just as much, but… no. You didn’t know how to feel about the moon god’s concern for you. Having his attention felt like a horribly bad thing.

The god brings a skeletal finger to his face, tapping his chin thoughtfully. “you’re a brave one, aren’t you?” he acknowledged, “bravery… or ignorance. not even the big gods have dared come near my moon. they know what i’m capable of.”

Instantly you find yourself looking down- you let out a quiet sigh. Your light illuminates his chains, glinting whenever you move. It must be your mother’s magic reacting to your sunlight, because it wasn’t just reflecting the light, it was glowing ever so softly. It looked ancient… old, but not rusted. You felt like you were looking at living history. Just like your sisters, to you, it felt like the story of the moon god was stuck in a fairytale. That he was the villain of a story that was just that- a story. Yet here you were, looking at him in his prison, the chains your mother put on him still brilliant for its age. Two were shackled to his wrists and two more went under his robe to his feet.

Despite that and the sturdy bars between you and him… it felt like you were the one who was cornered and trapped with him.

The moon was undoubtedly still his dominion.

His chains clink quietly as he shifted.

“come closer, starlight…” Sans beckoned, “i want to see you better. i haven’t felt sunlight in thousands of years. i may despise your mother but… oh, to see light…”

You hadn’t realized how far you’d gotten yourself from the bars, almost at the opposite wall to Sans’. You hd no desire to come close to this prison of doom but- you do.

You walk halfway towards the bars.

“closer, closer…”

You walk a little bit forwards.

“please, sunlight… i haven’t seen the light in so long. i want to see your brilliance…”

You’ve come as close as you could, just in front of the bars. The closer you got to the bars, the sharper the shadows looked. A chill fell over you- it felt like his prison was a dark hole that threatened to suck you in.

He smile was too wide-

A flash of movement, a roar. He was right in your face, four sets of claws outstretched before you, so close to your light you could see every detail in his horrifying expression, his bared fangs, the wild look in his eyes.

You screamed louder than you’ve ever screamed, your light flashing, staggering backwards. The chains shone- screeching and straining against the god- he falls short of touching you, collapsing to the ground.

“AHAHAHAHAH!” The moon god laughs cruelly, the sound the embodiment of evil. It’s depth shook the entire building- no, it was shaking the entire moon.

You’re on the floor, gasping greedily, looking like a fish that had just been unceremoniously dumped on land, your divine soul threatening to fly out of your chest. Your light flickers as you get dimmer than before, the darkness around Sans threatening to devour you.

You were about to cry.

Sans’ violent laughs started to quiet, eventually shifting into a satisfied sigh. This close, you could see him in more detail- his robe was gray, with the same symbol on his temple pinning it on his chest. You could see how your light flickered over his bones, his face.

He had four arms, two of which had been hidden under his robe. Unchained, they reached beyond the bars just shy of touching you.

“aw…. you’re adorable.” Sans growls. You watch in horror as a glowing silver tongue slithers out of his mouth, licking his fangs. He’s staring at you intently, a predator excited to see prey. “had you not stumble i would’ve had you against these bars…”

You look at his second set of hands. His claws reach out for you and you shuffle back, Sans following with another low laugh. It felt like those chains weren’t going to hold against him, that they were going to shatter any second now. That he’d bend the bars apart and bite you.

“oh…. lighten up, starlight.” He chuckles, as if he hadn’t just scared you half to death. His sockets crinkled, eyelights shining with a dark ‘pupil’ in the middle. They shifted ever so slightly over you.

“you must know that it’s so boring here, all alone in this pitiful cell,” He groans, throwing his head back in dismay, “i’ve been desperate to have someone to play with… and you look like a sweet little treat.”

You use your scarf to cover yourself more, becoming more and more convinced that maybe the moon god actually wants to eat you from the way he’s staring.

“i’m impressed… you haven’t run away,” He props his head up with one of his unchained hands. “why haven’t you?”

It was a genuine question. You looked at his room from top to bottom.

“There’s bars… and chains.” You say, trying to convince yourself that you were perfectly safe here.

“hm…” his other unchained hand was tapping the floor as he thought for a moment. “are you sure they’ll hold?”

“...” You weren’t convinced.

“heh… smart girl.”

His second set of arms moved again, reaching for the bars-

Ok. It was time to leave, right now.

“Th-thank you for your time, Moon god Sans,” you say hastily, standing up and dusting yourself off. “It’s been an honor to meet you. I see you are much more powerful than you already seemed in the stories. I must go home now, so… goodbye.”

You ran your mouth. Usually you’d leave a god with a bow or at most a word of praise. But that was when you were there with your sisters and your mother, with a god that didn’t have such a terrifying reputation.

You bowed as lowly as you could, pulling your scarves to the side. You didn’t want to look at him, disguised as looking at the floor. You wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, so you turned around on your heel towards the stairs-

“wait.”

Oh mother’s storm.

“please, starlight… won’t you come back? i’m so lonely…”

You looked behind you. He was as close as he could be to the bars, in sitting position like when he was against the wall. His eyes shone brilliantly. This… powerful, dak god… was pleading to you.

You don’t know how to feel about it. You look back at him sparingly, biting your lip.

“... if you do…” Sans says after you’re silent for a little longer, “could you… bring me some snacks?”

That makes you go huh? softly.

“something sweet preferably. like a cake.”

You’re on the fence of responding. You couldn’t just say ‘I never want to come back here because I think I’d die of fright first before I could humor you.’

“I… I’ll think about it.” is what you instead settled on.

Finally, you allowed yourself to climb up the stairs, starting to run as soon as you’re out of his eyesight, flying as fast as you could home.

…

…

…

“... my. what a delicious little thing…”

[deathmetalunicorn1]

Okay hear me out. What if the darling is like the goddess of fate, luck and constalations and she is close to other gods but most especially other celestial gods (yes, even apollo) so what if she decided that when buddha announced that he would fight for humanity, she got up, people thought that she is angry that one of her close friends decieded to abandon her but instead walk until she reach the human side, shocking everybody.

What are the characters reaction that she just basically on the human's side (lmao I bet during the voting stage both her and buddha didn't attend the voting due to the fact that he is a former human and she is busy since she is the goddess of many things. They would for sure vote no lol)

-You were known by many titles, Goddess of Luck, Fate, Constellations, Celestial Figures, Sun, Moon, Stars, and many more, making you not only a very busy goddess, but a very powerful one as well, but most knew you simply as Y/N.

-Since you oversaw so many different things, it made it a little hard for personal time for you, so you couldn’t go to parties like others could or attend the ‘mandatory’ meetings of the gods.

-You had friends, mainly other gods and goddesses who oversaw the things you also oversaw, like Apollo, Artemis, and the Seven Lucky Gods, as you were gentle and sweet to all you met, even crass beings like Ebisu or flirty beings like Apollo, something they all respected you for.

-Many knew not to cross you- as you wouldn’t hesitate to put anyone in their place, even Zeus, and you would do so with a bright smile on your face, which was honestly more intimidating than if you were just glaring at and scolding them.

-When you heard about Ragnarok, from Apollo of all people as he was bragging about how easily he was going to win his fight, you were absolutely furious.

-You hadn’t attended that meeting, due to your busy schedule, but had you been there, you would have fought for humanity, as you loved humans- they were hard working and never seemed to stop learning and growing.

-Seeing you in attendance made many of the gods worry, mostly in fear, as you weren’t hiding your anger or displeasure at this, as you had been telling Zeus and the other gods that, as gods, you all should have done more to manage and guide humanity, because it wouldn’t have gotten to this point, and now they were just trying to take the easy way out of wiping humanity out rather than dealing with the problem they created, refusing to acknowledge or manage them.

-When Buddha announced his desire to fight for humanity, you smiled, standing and many gods were quick to dive out of your way, thinking you were going to deliver divine punishment to this traitor.

-Buddha grinned up at you as you walked down to the edge of the arena before hopping to the ledge and walked along it to the side of humanity, where many were quick to make room for you, seeing such a beautiful goddess coming.

-Buddha roared with laughter as you took a seat alongside the humans, a smile on your lips as many of the gods shouted their outrage at you now.

-Your eyes lifted to meet many of their own, making their complaints die easily before you looked up at Zeus, who flinched, panicking lightly as you spoke, your voice carrying around the arena, “I’ve been telling you all for years to be the gods you claim to be and manage and guide humanity- but obviously you’ve ignored that and now you want to take the easy way out. I fully support your decision, Buddha.”

-He sent you a wink, flirting up at you, “Thanks for the pep-talk gorgeous.” Buddha grinned more as many of the other gods began to scream at him, furious that he was flirting with you, while you had just smiled, thinking it was amusing.

-While you couldn’t interfere directly with humanity, you silently prayed that humanity would win, earning their salvation and earning the respect of the gods, who, hopefully, would finally listen to you and do what they needed to do as gods.

more immortal y/n thoughts except it’s basically a direct continuation of my last post

Cw for mentions of blood and bones breaking (whoops sun accidentally breaks your back and not in the sexy way)

it’s a miracle you and moon managed to clean the remaining evidence of his earlier… “fit,” before it began to stain.

you dutifully helped the poor stunned animatronic clean himself as he refused to say another word after his last half-spoken question. his fingers twitched every time you ran the rag over his joints, clenching and unclenching, as if reliving just how easily your neck snapped underneath his gripped.

you didn’t force him to speak. he seemed frazzled as is, and you knew nothing you said would help. even after all this time, you still weren’t the best at comforting people.

however, even as you managed to clean the last visible bit with the rag soaked in bleach that stung your skin and nostrils lightly with each passing second you held it, moon didn’t seem too keen on leaving you just yet.

you expected more questions. horrified looks. guilt.

instead, he looked at you like a blessing straight from the lord.

you knew what moon looked like when he was excited. you observed everything around you almost as much as a machine like he was. mostly a habit stemmed from years of boredom and paranoia.

it was hard to tell whether you wanted to treat it like a fresh breath of air, or wanted to be offended by the fact of it.

you made no comment as you simply returned to the employee’s lounge— entirely empty, considering the lack of human staff in this place and even less of them voluntarily taking night shift for a multitude of reasons —to change into your spare clothes.

moon silently followed, lingering outside the door while you changed, and trailing behind you as you continued your night shift as if nothing happened. you trusted moon would scrub the footage of what just happened, if any of the cameras there were even on.

the next day, you chose to take over a coworker’s shift looking over the daycare. they gratefully let you, muttering something about the daycare attendant being freaky that you knew not to react to.

as you walked in around ten minutes before the daycare closed, you were greeted by a completely clueless sun bounding over to his favorite adult in the pizzaplex.

it was clear that moon had kept last night’s events a secret from his counterpart, and you were thankful for that. while you were fully prepared to give sun some half-assed explanation and comfort, it was obviously much more preferable to just not have to do any of that.

the day was slow compared to what you’ve heard happens in the daycare. only a couple children say hello to you, and the rest are occupied by sun’s usual entertaining antics. the animatronic even tries to tempt you into joining a couple games, to which you stubbornly deny each offer, much to his dismay.

as you dutifully watch him do his job, your eyes probably not blinking as you zone out a little, you notice something strange.

a little speck of something right on the rim of his little tutu.

specifically glowing a soft gold.

hm. so you didn’t do as good a job as you thought you did.

there was a pang of shame that you automatically stamped out with ease. didn’t matter. it wouldn’t stand out against his normal color scheme, and would probably go away in a few days. maybe a week at most.

the thought leaves your mind as quickly as it came to it, and you spend the rest of your day staring into space as the daycare attendant herds all the children around like hyperactive sheep.

eventually, your shift comes to a close as the daycare does as well.

you make no moves to leave, though, seeing as your next night shift starts in about an hour or so.

sun’s quick to run over to you as soon as the last child is gone, kneeling to your height in front of the desk like a dog eager for praise.

he babbles on about how the children were so nice today and he even got a few new pictures from the kiddos— apparently one was a liiiiiittle disturbing, but he didn’t mind because it was from his little superstars! —and that he just wanted to talk to you a little before he started cleaning up.

at one point, he asked for a quick little hug, to which you, of course, complied.

you stood up, and before you could each register it, he’d scooped you up and tugged you tight against his chest, arm wrapped around you like a vice.

during your earlier days here, he’d been very hesitant to hug you in fear of you getting mad or accidentally hurting you.

you reassured him you gave no fucks if he wanted to be touchy, and by now he took your word for it.

you barely noticed when his grip started to tighten, nor when pressure began to build up at the middle of your spine where his arms wrapped around your abdomen, and neither did sun.

however, you and him both noticed when his grip tightened a little too much, and a sickening snap rang out.

instantly he drops you, apologizing profusely and tentative pressing at your back for injuries, while you simply groan and hold your back as if it was just some simple back pain.

“No— nope, Sunny, it’s okay,” you reassured him, gently shooing away his hands, “you just popped my back a little, that’s all.”

a blatant lie. your back had visibly shifted a little, maybe a few segments dislocated or something. you definitely couldn’t turn on your spine at the moment.

“B-b-but it was so LOUD!” he protested in his usual worry.

“Yeah, my bones are loud,” you chuckled nonchalantly, “watch.”

your press your hands to where your spine had been shifted, some of the bone trying to poke through your skin. if you weren’t, well, you, you probably would be suffering quite the amount of agony and internal bleeding right now. but you were you.

carefully, you press against the upper half of your back, until another crack sounds out, and your spine is back together. you could already feel the internal wound healing beneath your flesh, warm and fuzzy like it had been reattaching your head to your neck.

“See?” you hum, doing a little spin in front of sun, “It’s all cool. You did nothing wrong.”

he clearly didn’t believe you, but you also knew he still thoroughly enjoyed the reassurance. his rays spun once over, and he let out a nervous chuckle.

“O-Oh, um, o-okay,” he reluctantly chirped back, “a-are you suuure you’re okay, though? You don’t, u-um, need a, like, a m-massage or anything..?”

you hold back a soft snicker as his fans start up in his flusteredness.

“I am fine, Sunshine,” you say with a slight smile, your grin widening as his fans speed up further. you walk over and pat him on the back, “now get to cleaning before the lights turn off.”

he immediately perks up at the mention of cleaning.

“OH— right, right, yes!!” he chirps, already sprinting back over to where the main mess of the daycare was, “Gotta clean up, clean up, clean up!”

as he goes on mumbling about how messy it was, you sit back down in your chair, waiting patiently for the clock to reach that fateful time.

the ache in your back had already faded, and so had the warmth. the chair beneath you leeched off what little heat you had, and you started to wish you’d bought that fluffy jacket you saw a few weeks ago.

you were looking forward to seeing moon, but at the same time not.

you didn’t know if his casual attitude from before was thanks to whatever was the robotic equivalent of adrenaline or was actually genuine, and you weren’t exactly looking forward to finding out.

IM SO SORRY TO BOTHER YOU MY LOVE, BUT I HAD A GREAT FIC IN MIND

sorry I got a little ahead of myself 😛 but yeah 😚

↳she’s just like candy!₊˚✧

➬ johnny cade x fem!reader

a/n;i did fem!reader, hope that’s alright!! and U DIDN’T GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF I LOVE LONG REQS!! and i love seeing you in my inbox<3 i spent most of my time talking abt the gang..ruh roh.

you and aaliyah had been friends since grade school!

the two of you are attached to the hip, the moon to her sun!

you’re always at her house, studying, gossiping, everything!

you’ve met her brothers, they’re all real sweet to you!

your favourite out of the bunch is probably sodapop.

he’s the type of guy to gossip with the two of you.

“and then beth started to pretend that she never dated david!”

“she what?!”

“who’s beth again? is it the blond one?”

“yes, soda.”

“SHE DID NOT.”

you always hear aaliyah talk about the “gang” and you can’t help but ask about them every time, but you always get the same response.

“you wouldn’t want to meet them. they’re total idiots. imagine 3 sodapops but ones a violent drunk, a criminal, and his best friend.”

“but you talked about 4 other guys before. who’s the other one?”

“johnny cade. he’s the best one there, possibly.”

that’s the most you ever heard about the gang, other than the insane stories you hear.

you’ve always wanted to meet them! but aaliyah always said, “nah, at least one of ‘em would fall head over heels for you. i ain’t tryna have either one of ‘em steal my best friend!”

one day after school, you were walking to her house together, had a huge test coming up, so you thought it’d be good to study together.

well—that was before some drunkard wearing a mickey mouse shirt came busting into your friends room.

“hey aaliyah! wait, who’s that?!”

“my literal best friend?”

“aww-”

“you have other friends than us?”

aaliyah turned her head to face you with possibly the most unamused face you’ve ever seen and mouthed ‘can you believe him?’

you chuckled at their bickering as the man walked up behind you two and threw his arms around your necks to bring you closer to him.

“ain’t you gonna introduce me?”

“no. she’s MY friend, back off two-bit.”

your eyes widened, it was nice to finally put a face to a name after all this time.

it was a miracle that you didn’t know any one of them, but whatever.

you smiled and turned to face two-bit.

“i’m y/n, it’s lovely to finally meet you.”

“AND SHE’S A SWEETHEART. how could you not introduce us..she had to do it herself! you’re so rude!”

he shouted as he backed off and put a hand on his heart as he fake-fainted onto aaliyah’s bed.

“two-bit, sodapop told me to tell you—oh, who’s your friend?”

some guy asked as he stood at the door way.

he looked dirty, had what looks like cake all over his mouth, had no shirt on, and looked like he breathed in hair grease.

“that’s y/n! aaliyah’s FRIEND we ain’t know about!”

“can you guys leave us alone??”

the dude in the doorways mouth slowly opened wide as he shouted,

“SODA!! WHEN WERE YOU GONNA TELL ME OUR SISTER HAS OTHER FRIENDS?!”

you then heard loud stomping towards the room.

“STEVE YOU MEAN, *MY* SISTER? and that’s y/n. she’s the best. introduce yourself to her.”

and introduce himself he did!

he extended his arm out and smiled, with chocolate cake all over his teeth.

“steve randle!”

the curits sister leaned over and whispered in your ear as you were about to take his hand to shake,

“i wouldn’t take that. i can’t remember the last time i seen his willingly wash his hands.”

with that new found knowledge, you slowly put your hand away, smiling and nodding at him.

“y/n l/n.”

“WELL, Y/N..COME MEET THE REST OF THE GANG!”

two-bit shouted, hopping off aaliyah’s bed.

“if you take her to see dallas, so god help me, two-bit.”

“too late.”

he basically sung as he dragged you into the living room of the house where the three brothers your familiar with sat with two boys you were unfamiliar with.

“hey y/n!”

“hi sodapop.”

you greated him as the other brothers waved at you.

“who’s this?”

“dallas, c’mon.”

whispered the dude, who was smaller than the rest, sitting next to ponyboy.

the ‘dallas’ stood up and walked directly infront of you, to look you up and down.

“you don’t know me, sweetheart?”

“..nah.”

“leave her alone, dal.”

the quiet kid said, almost shaking in his seat as dallas kissed his teeth and shook his head.

he walked off out of the house for some reason.

you made your way towards the only guy you didn’t know, but you can use context clues.

that must be johnny cade, the ‘best one there’

“hey, thank you. i’m y/n.”

“i heard, i’m, uh johnny.”

johnny thought you were beautiful from afar, but when you’re upclose and smiling at him, you were like a greek goddess.

your eyes shinned real bright, even though the curtis’s lighting wasn’t that good.

your features suited the rest of you, complimenting every inch of ya.

johnny couldn’t muster anything but his name when he saw you.

“Y/N! COME BACK, I CAN’T HOLD STEVE OFF ANYMORE!”

“AALIYAH I AM NOT FINISHING YOUR DIRTY WORK.”

“FAKE MOTHERFUCK-”

you rolled your eyes as you walked back to your friends room, waving goodbye to the boys on the couch.

johnny waved back, with a lovestruck look in his eyes.

“someones whipped, huh?”

ponyboy whispered in his ear as he nudged his friend, with a grin.

“man, shut up!”

maybe he was whipped.

he started goin’ to the curtis house when school ended just for a chance to see you.

and it worked—sometimes.

but when it did, he always tries to have at least 10 minutes of your time.

“he-hey y/n! come here for a minute..please?”

“sure, johnny! what’s up?”

“nothin’, just wanted to ask how you were.”

he checks his appearance more than ever since you met him.

started carrying around those combs you see greasers use in the movie ‘grease.’

he totally just, stares at you, when you’re around.

the gang sees it and knows johnny has a little thing for you.

and so does the curtis sister.

“what did i tell ya?! i told you one of them would fall head over heels for you, AND ONE OF ‘EM DID!”

johnny goes out of his way to show up to school every once and awhile for you.

shit, it’s happened so much the two of you started hanging out, PRIVATELY!

he legit pictures your guys ‘dates’ before they happen.

he likes you so much, its SICKENING.

making me sick just writing about it.

now, even you yourself has to admit that johnny cades a cute lookin’ guy.

and johnny KNOWS you’re a cute girl, and the gang sure as hell knows that he thinks that.

“look johnny, it’s your girlfriend.”

“DALLAS, SHUT UP.”

Not Dead Until You're Warm and Dead || Whumptober day 7 - R. Abbott

whumtpober masterlist || whumtpober taglist form

synopsis: Your and Rhett's relationship had been anything but easy between bull riding and lies. But you had hoped that you would be enough for him to come back alive.

word count: 2.8k

@ailesswhumptober prompt: flatline

warnings: cursing, mentions of cheating, mentions of sex, mentions of drug and alcohol abuse, death, character death, allusion of suicide.

When Rhett first laid eyes on Y/N, he knew she was the one for him. He had missed his chance with Maria, holding back on his feelings and letting her walk out of his life. But when he saw her standing on the fence line as he lowered himself onto his bull, he knew that she was going to be his wife. He held on for his life, lasting the whole eight seconds, and impressing her. The boost of confidence from the ride was what he needed to go over and talk to her. Her cheeks turned red as he invited her for a dance, telling him that she couldn’t dance to save her life, but he assured her that it was okay. He had kissed her that night. 

After that night, Y/N basically disappeared. She was nowhere to be found and it seemed like no one really knew who she was. Rhett had asked around town, asking pretty much everyone where the y/h/c girl went and who she was. It had dawned on Rhett, he never got her name. When Rhett was ready to give up, throwing in the towel that she was just a one-night stand sort of girl (even though they didn’t hook up) he received a call from an unknown number. 

“Hello?” He asked, creasing his eyebrows. 

“Rhett Abbott,” Her voice was like honey, and Rhett chuckled to himself. 

“How did you get my number but I never even got your name?” 

“I asked a friend,” She smiled. 

“I asked a friend about you, but it seems like you are just some figure of my imagination.” 

“I can assure you that I am not.”

They had talked for hours on the phone after Y/N had explained who she was. She was originally from Amelia County, but as soon as she graduated high school, she packed her bags and went to the coast. She would occasionally fly back to Wyoming, the last time she flew back was to watch her little brother ride against Rhett. Neither one had noticed the sunset, the moon rising in the sky, or the first strands of the orange morning sun. Rhett woke up to his alarm clock and looked down at his phone to notice that he was still on the line with her. He smiled to himself and whispered ‘sweet dreams darlin’’ before hanging up. 

And that’s how it went for weeks. He would call Y/N after dinner and they would talk for hours about everything under the sun. He learned that she was studying to be a nurse, in her third year at USC. Y/N learned that Rhett had made it to the finals, and she was already looking at flights to come watch him. Rhett rode one of his best rides when he noticed her smile in the stands during the finals. He focused on her the whole time, and the second he heard that buzzer go off, his mind was locked on finding her. The next morning they found themselves wrapped up in each other's arms. 

They continued their relationship long distance for about two years until she graduated college. Rhett had saved up his rodeo money packed up his truck and headed out west. He stuck out like a sore thumb as he walked around campus in his levis and blue flannel. He was going over in his head what he was going to say to her. The last time he had seen her was over six months ago when she had flown home for Thanksgiving. Rhett was going to propose to her, he had already asked her dad for her hand in marriage. He easily found her dorm room and waited on the bench until she came out. 

“Why look at what we have here? You lost Cowboy?” Y/N asked as she walked out the door. Rhett stood up, holding the bouquet of carnations in his hands.

“Slightly,” Rhett said with his usual half smile, “For you,” 

“Thank you, love,” Y/N took the flowers, and then placed her hand on his face and brought him in for a kiss. 

Their date went off without a hitch, Rhett taking her to a lookout spot that he had heard about. He laid some blankets down in the back of his truck and shared the sandwiches and stuff he had prepared. She talked about her final days at university and how she got a good job at the children’s hospital nearby. Rhett told her about how he had finally gotten away from his family, and Y/N was shocked. She never thought she’d see the day when Rhett Abbott left his family’s ranch, but here he was. He took her to the one-bedroom apartment he got which was covered in boxes. He tucked his shaking hands in his pockets as Y/N walked around the small place and explored. 

“Rhett this place is- what are you doing?” 

“I’m proposing,” Rhett said, as he was down on one knee with the ring box in his hand. 

“I know, why?” 

“Because I love you enough that I want to be with you forever.” 

“Really?” 

“Yeah, really,” 

“Yeah, yes! Yes!” 

Rhett placed the ring on her finger and held her tightly in his arms. He made love to her for hours that night, trying to make their bodies as close as possible. They felt as if they had truly become one, their hearts, minds, and souls. 

Their wedding was small, held back home in Wabang. Perry and Royal had worked hard to clean up one of the barns so they could have a reception out there. It was no secret to Royal that he wasn’t thrilled about the wedding and his youngest son fleeing out west. He had hoped that Rhett would take over the ranch when Royal couldn’t do it anymore. Perry was happy to see his brother finally settle down and had hoped that this would stick. Cecilia was also happy to have another daughter in the family. The two of them seemed very fairytale-like as Rhett held his new wife close to his chest as they swayed on the dance floor. But the honeymoon feeling came crashing down quickly. 

Their first fight had been an ugly one, over Rhett’s drinking. Years of riding bulls and popping painkillers had become a second nature to him, something he quite couldn’t let go of. Rhett had found a farm to work as an extra hand, but it was quite enough for him. He thought when he left Wabang and chased after the woman he loved that it would be enough. Having her be his, his own Mrs. Abbott, would be everything he had ever dreamed of, and it was. But he fell back into his old ways. Y/N would get pissed as he’d stumble in at odd hours of the night as she was trying to sleep before her early morning shifts. She had finally had enough of it. 

“Jesus Christ Rhett,” Y/N cursed under her breath as she looked at the drunk man who had just knocked over something, “Why do you constantly do this shit.” 

“Do what? I’m too fucking drunk to do this shit with you right now.” Rhett slurred. 

“Well Rhett! The hell do you expect!? This is the fourth night in a row you have come home completely trashed. You keep doing this shit, enough is enough,” Y/N yelled. 

“What do you mean?” Rhett sobered up as she climbed out of bed, and grabbed a bag from her closet, “What are you doing?” 

“I’m leaving.” 

“No, baby please, I’m sorry,” Rhett grabbed her hands to try and stop her, “Please, you can’t leave me,” Rhett’s voice cracked, “You’re all I have. I left everything behind to be with you. I have nothing.”  

“I never asked you to do that,” She bit back tears. 

“I know, baby, please don’t leave me.” 

And she didn’t. She stayed by his side, even when he told her that he was going back to riding. She was actually proud of him for getting back on the bull. He had done his best to stay away from the temptation of the old life; the booze, the pills, the pussy. But old habits die hard. His body was older now, taking rougher beatings when he would get bucked off. He would have a simple celebratory drink with the guys after the rodeos. Rhett found himself out later at night, coming home to a quiet house with his wife at work. Their schedules hardly ever matched up. He got bored of using his hand in the shower, and he could hardly remember the last time he and his wife made love. 

He didn’t fuck them at first. He’d only let them suck him off before a ride, releasing the tension. But that only did so much. The rodeo hands seemed to look the other way when it came to his infidelity. He’d fuck the no-name buckle bunny before the ride, not bothering to learn their names or even show them an ounce of respect. He saw them as playthings to fill the void he was missing from his wife. He thought he was good at hiding it, but Y/N had always been smart. 

She knew that he was hiding something from him. She could tell in the way he wouldn’t touch her, his kisses were just pecks, and he avoided looking into her eyes. Y/N had even seen it with her own eyes at one of his rides. She had gotten the night off of work last minute and decided to surprise him. The whole crew seemed to act weird and barely paid her any attention as she walked through the trailers to find him. The smile ran away from her face the second she saw him walk out of his trailer, fixing his belt, and a bombshell blonde walking out behind him. Y/N felt her heart break as she leaned against the side of the trailer away from his eyes. 

Y/N felt bile rising in her throat as she emptied the contents of her stomach. Rhett heard the sounds of someone retching and walked around the side to see his wife. His eyes widened as he ran over to her, and moved her hair back. 

“No!” Y/N cried and pushed his hands off of her. 

“Baby, you’re sick, let me-” 

“Get the fuck away from me!” She yelled and Rhett stepped back in shock, “Fuck you, Rhett! I saw you! How could you?” 

“Babe I’m-” 

“Your shit will be in the driveway.” 

Rhett had come home that night to exactly what she said, his stuff in the driveway, but he wasn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet. So he sat outside the front door and waited for her. Y/N felt bad when she saw him in the morning and let him in. She ignored him the best she possibly could, but it was hard to do. Rhett could hear her break down while she was in the bathroom and it made him shed a tear himself. He sat on their bed and waited for her to come out of the shower, he could see the dried tear stains on her cheeks. 

“I promise you, I’ll never ride again. I never wanted to hurt you.” 

And he had stayed true to his word. He had told his dad over the phone that he had officially given up riding. That he and Y/N had decided to start trying for a family. Rhett didn’t want to spend his time away from his family or worse, like some of the legends in Bull Riding, dead or gravely injured. Rhett had stayed away from the rodeo life for about six months. And in those six months, Y/N and he worked on their marriage. They went to therapy, talking out their transgression and disagreements. They got back to the basics, bringing back romance into their lives; going on dates and trips. They had some of the best sex they had in years. They had both seemed to forget what had happened six months ago until he got that call from Royal. 

“I told her I wasn’t going to ride,” Rhett whispered as he stood in the kitchen. He was making breakfast for Y/N, after a busy night of lovemaking. 

“We’re in danger of going bankrupt, we need this,” Royal said, “We can’t lose the farm.” 

“There’s nothing you can do?” Rhett ran a hand down his face. 

“You know I wouldn’t have asked you to do this if there was,” 

“Fine,” Rhett said, “When is the ride?” 

“Three days.” 

“Three fucking days?! That’s our anniversary.” 

“I’m sorry Rhett.” 

“I gotta go, she’ll be up soon.” 

Rhett had gone to the rodeo by himself, it didn’t bother him, he was used to going by himself. It did make him a little upset that she didn’t even bother to come with him. He stood in the waiting area as he waited for the name of the bull he would be riding. The second he was given the bull, he knew it was a lost cause. The bull was impossible, no one had been successful in completing a ride. His team gave him a pat on the back and Rhett gave them a shy smile. The first person he had called was her. 

“Is there anything you can do?” Y/N asked. She was sitting on the back porch of their house, looking out at the waves as they crashed on the sand. 

“You know how these things go,” Rhett said as he leaned up against the side of his trailer. 

“I don’t like this Rhett,” She said honestly. Silent tears were running down her face. 

Rhett could hear the sadness in her voice, and could only picture the tears running down her face as she looked out at the setting sun, “I know you don’t. But I promise, I’ll come home to you.” 

“You fucking better Mr. Abbott,” She sniffed and wiped her tears away. 

“I will, Mrs. Abbott,” He smiled back, “I gotta go okay, I promise I’ll call you right after.” 

“I love you Rhett.” 

“I love you Y/N.” 

She had watched the clock, as she settled down in a chair in front of the fireplace. The class of whisky was cold in her hands as she counted down the seconds until Rhett’s ride. Rhett said a small prayer as he walked up the metal steps towards the bullpen. The crowd was going wild as he waved his hand and greeted his team. They helped him down on the bull, and it already was bucking the second Rhett put his weight on the animal. Once it settled, Rhett tied the rope around his hand, making sure he had a tight grip on it. He closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath, seeing glimpses of his future life with Y/N, a few kids, and a beautiful house back home on the Abbott Ranch. Rhett opened his eyes the second they opened the gate. It didn’t last long until a consuming darkness filled his eyes once again. 

Time seemed to tick on slowly, and her eyes never left the clock as she waited for the call from Rhett. Assuming from the time it had taken from the ride until now, that it hadn’t gone well. Everyone in the community knew that the bull Rhett had was a troublesome one. It was known for bucking off its riders in the first couple seconds. The second her phone rang, she picked it up. His name hadn’t even slipped past her lips when his team manager told her what had happened. Her heart was shattered in her chest as she dropped the phone on the carpet. Her knees shook as she collapsed to the ground screaming out his name. 

Her eyes were blurred with tears and her head was spinning as she pushed herself up from the carpet. Her phone was still on the line and they could hear her screaming for him. She walked out into the sand, her chest felt on fire as she let out loud sobs. She didn’t stop as her feet hit the wet sand from the waves. The further she walked into the water, her clothing felt heavier and heavier. The waves would crash and pull her underwater. She fought to keep herself above the surface, keeping her lungs inflated with air. The saltiness of water strung her eyes as the waves hit her. She looked up at the sky, looking at the stars and feeling the heaviness in her heart. She felt her feet leave the ground and she took a deep breath, as she felt a wave pull her completely under. 

In the black abyss she had fallen into, she could see the man she had always wanted. Rhett stood there waiting for her, his hand outstretched. She smiled at him as she placed her hand in his. He placed a hand on her cheek, brushing the tear from her cheek. He leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips. 

“I told you I would come home,” Rhett said. 

“I know you did,” She spoke to him.

[ren-054]

I have a few old self-insert dca fanfic excerpts (part of a larger story in my brain) I come back to from time to time to edit and I thought I could share one of them with anyone interested

Look if you want! I like it but it’s also heavily self indulgent and im going to try and not edit it too much to retain the initial feel I wanted from it

===========================

Basic premise: Y/N came to the Pizzaplex with their friends and wandered off into the daycare while no one was there and (due to their smaller than average size) was briefly confused for a lost child by the Daycare Attendant and stuff happens

In this case, Y/N is just about to leave when the lights go out and has a bit of an anxious breakdown (also they’ve already met and introduced themselves to Moon)

===========================

Whoops

(that’s just what it’s called in my notes don’t ask)

A waning noise blared throughout the daycare, and I froze as my vision appeared to dim. No, that couldn’t be… Was this a power outage?

“Shit.” Before I knew it, I was back in the dark. I tried pushing on the doors to the exit, but they refused to move. I was locked in. There was screaming from outside the daycare. The entire plaza must’ve gone out.

Well, at least I’m in here, so I don’t have to deal with all that chaos. I hope the guys were alright, though…

“WhAT?!” I heard Sun shriek, causing me to jump. “No.. Nononono!! It’s opening hours! The power shouldn’t be going out like this now!! I-I’m not ready to—”

He sounded like he was on the verge of laughing and crying. Sun was panicking. Why was he panicking?

“Sun?” I called into the dark. “Sun, are you alright? What’s happening?”

“I, I don’t know, star!! Hahahaha!” The attendant crackled back. “Jus-Just don’t come any closer!”

I don’t think I could’ve gotten closer if I tried. My feet felt like they weighed thirty tons. I was paralyzed. People were still screaming. I couldn’t see. The only other individual in here with me was acting strange, and I couldn’t see where he was. The doors were locked. What was going on? It was just a power outage right? Why did everyone have to be screaming?

Somewhere in the daycare, I could hear Sun muttering to himself. He sounded like he was in pain, his voice box sending out garbled static between utterances, as if gasping for air. I couldn’t move. My breaths became deliberate since it felt like my lungs wouldn’t operate otherwise.

I… was scared.

Come on, Y/N, you know the drill. Let’s just lie on the ground for a second and take some time to calm down. It’s just a power outage. The staff should have it back on in no time.

I slowly lowered to the ground until I was lying on my side. I curled my legs in for the added warmth and got my head comfortable on the matted floor. Just deep breaths… Take deep breaths..

In… Out… In.. O-Out…

A deep chuckle caused my breath to hitch. “Y/N~ I know you’re not asleep~”

Oh… Oh no..

I opened my mouth to say something, to let Moon know I wasn’t trying to pretend to sleep, but no words came out. My throat only allowed a whimper to escape before I quickly cut it off, throwing a hand over my mouth. Fuck.

There was a light rhythmic clanking of metal, deliberate and slow, in tandem with the sound of bells, growing louder with each step. I couldn’t help but stiffen when my periphery began to glow scarlet, telling me the light was aimed straight at my back. He was right there. I’ve already met him, already knew what he looked like, but right now… Right now just wasn’t the time.

Stubbornly, I swallowed my cries and blinked away the tears. I didn’t want to cry, really. My body just tended to react this way under stress. Sensation was beginning to fade in my hands and feet, creeping up my limbs. I felt cold…

There was a pause. He hadn’t moved. “…Y/N?”

I flinched, the sound of my name suddenly grating to the ears. My heart beat fast and loud, pounding in my chest, painfully. Static burned under my flesh. No, no, please don’t ask me anything. Don’t speak to me. I’m not here.

I could hear a slight shifting of fabric. He may have crouched down. “Hey… Starlight, what’s wrong?”

I remained still.

“Can you speak?” The question caught me off guard, but I nodded my head, letting him know I was listening. Normally, this kind of question would make me outrageously upset in a state like this, but the way he asked it didn’t feel condescending. It felt like he was actually asking, checking what he needed to know, like how something programmed to care for children would act.

“I’m going to pick you up off the floor. Is that alright?” I watched as the red light moved through the dark, becoming more concentrated. In my head, I could imagine Moon looming over me, reared up but steady, waiting. Weakly, I nodded my head, barely managing a whisper.

“Yeah… you can.”

My skin shuddered the moment Moon’s hands made contact, his touch icier than I remembered. He kept them there, however, resting along my waist and back as he waited for me to acclimate. When it appeared that my muscles had finally relaxed, Moon gently scooped me up, pressing me close to his chest.

As soon as he had a secure hold on me, the attendant’s body seemed to… buzz somewhere inside. I squirmed at the feeling, worried that it meant something wrong had happened, but then a warmth brushed over my head, stunning me—his hand.

“Shh, shh, starlight,” Moon purred, voice box crackling softly with white noise. “It’s okay. I’m just warming you up.”

Ah, so it was a feature. I let myself relax and snuggled closer to the animatronic’s chest plate, which now radiated a gentle heat. Seeming satisfied with my satisfaction, the attendant started moving us elsewhere, continuing to caress my head.

“Letting the lights shut off outside of nap time…” Moon muttered, or at least the imitative equivalent of it—a low, bit-crushed fizzle of sorts. “Witless staff, they should’ve gotten this under control by now.”

My breaths still shook a little when I exhaled, but at least I wasn’t on the floor now. The robot had a point, why haven’t they turned the power back on? It couldn’t have been a total outage, could it? No, those things don’t just happen. Could they?

Eventually, Moon stopped walking and sat down, pulling me onto his lap. Large, folded hands laid across my back in a loose embrace, the broad, gentle weight almost insistent that I stayed put—not that I planned on parting ways with this oversized heat pack any time soon. I found myself bathed red under a steady, luminous gaze, the light so saturated that it would be almost laughable to wonder what the animatronic was staring at. It was strangely not as unnerving as I expected.

When I rose to meet his eyes, the attendant swiftly dimmed them, making it easier to make out the rest of his face. I was met with a familiar wicked grin, forever fixed onto his faceplate.

“You’re very nice,” I said aloud, reaching up to touch his cheek in curiosity. The material was smooth and felt neither cold nor warm, likely a durable plastic cover of some kind—easy to clean and without the strong odor of metal. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting. His eyes pulsed.

“Ohhh?~ Is that so?~” he inquired, returning to his singsong-like cadence, sounding almost pleased. “Why thank you, little one~ You’re very kind, yourself.”

“…Where do you go when the lights come back on?” Moon seemed to pause at this, his natural, subtle idling coming to an immediate halt. “Sun seemed really upset when the lights suddenly went off. Maybe you’d know where he went.”

Silence. Moon adjusted me in his hold, coaxing my head back to his chest with a warm hand.

“…He is safe,” he answered curtly. “You have nothing to worry about.”

Without warning, several loud clunks resounded throughout the plaza—the sound of large ceiling lights turning back on. Moon’s arms tightened reflexively around me. A hiss of corrupted audio emitted from him as light suddenly filled the daycare, blinding us both.

Moon scoffed, his voice beginning to stutter and cut out randomly. “A-Al..waysszz the wo—orst ti, ti-timing…”

The attendant hastily took me off his lap and forced himself to stand up, hunching over as if in pain. Harsh pulses of static imitated labored breaths. He looked down at me, practically rattling as he resisted whatever was overtaking him. I could only stare back helplessly.

“IIII—It seems.. that s—sSSun… will be here soo—n, starlight,” Moon gritted. “Farewell…”

The attendant suddenly unfurled, back arching, hands clawing at his faceplate as he cried out in agony. The sounds of clicking and grinding of internal mechanisms filled the air. Moon’s nightcap inverted itself, flattening, as it got vacuumed back into a compartment inside his torso. The animatronic’s clothing rapidly shifted in color and pattern, like those heat-sensitive novelty pencils, dark blue with pale yellow stars melting into bright red and yellow stripes. All the while, his body shook in a seizure-like fashion—erratic tremors—as if his insides, themselves, were rearranging. The sight was equal parts disturbing and fascinating to witness.

Eventually, everything seemed to still. The attendant’s body moved as if heaving from nonexistent lungs, face still covered. The uncontrollable shaking stopped, but a faint whirring of motors had started. Familiar triangular flaps extended out from behind the robot’s faceplate, one after another until they circled his entire head. Each sun ray gently clicked itself into place before the motors went quiet. The attendant finally lowered his hands, revealing Sun.

I gaped, the realization already long soaked in. They lived in the same body.

Sun glanced over and noticed me still on the floor. “Y/N!” He cried, rushing to my side. Kneeling down, he quickly pulled me into a hug. “I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry! Are you alright?? I shouldn’t have left you like that alone in the dark, you must’ve been so scared! That was TERRIBLE of me, none of that should’ve happened—“

“I’m okay now, Sun, the power’s back on now,” I reassured him, returning the embrace. “I panicked a little at first, but Moon was there to help me.”

“Oh really? Well, that’s a relief!” Sun nuzzled the side of my head. “I was so scared that he would.. would…. would..”

… Would what?

“BUT I’m SUPER DUPER glad that DIDN’T happen!!!“ He quickly resumed, releasing me.

I chuckled nervously, mind still stuck on that incomplete thought. “Yeah, everything turned out fine!”

Just as I felt myself finally relaxing, I remembered what I was doing. “Oh shoot! I was on my way out!”

Sun gasped. “Oh!! Right right right! You gotta get going! Your parents must be worried sick!”

Oh yeah… My “parents”.

He ushered me back over to the large wood-façade doors and moved to push one open, which it thankfully did. I refused to look at him as I knew he was surveying for anyone who had arrived to come get me, only to find no one. Aside from the wandering S.T.A.F.F. bots, it was just as deserted as when I first got here.

“Where are your parents, friend?” I felt my face redden in shame. This was it…

“W-Well…” I started. “I actually have something to tell you, Sun.”

“Hm?” I stared down at my shoes.

“My parents weren’t actually going to come. I came here with friends. I’m not that old, but..” The next words stuck in my mouth. I gulped. “I… I’m still not legally a child.”

My eyes turned up to the attendant, his static smiling expression staring back at me. God, I must look pathetic. “I’m sorry I lied to you.”

Sun’s rays fluttered. “Oh, I already knew, silly!” He warbled. “In the visitor database! Your Daycare pass logged you in as an adult!”

I blanched, the animatronic’s cheery reply somehow deepening my shame more. This was somehow so much worse. “Th-Then why did you—“

“You looked like you needed a friend! I couldn’t just kick you out after seeing you wandering around all alone like that!” He gleefully explained.

The robot felt bad for me. Oh my god, I got pitied by a robot.

“Besides! You played along anyway! Like a game of pretend!” He looked away for a moment. “And… you were actually a lot of fun.”

I didn’t have any words. What was I supposed to say? How I was supposed to come back from being told I was pity-friended by a fucking children’s entertainment robot?

“It’s not every day I—we get to just have a conversation, or just some company, outside of the kids,” Sun admitted, his tone uncharacteristically reserved. “Moon, especially.”

Realizing the mood seemed to have shifted, I blinked. “Huh?”

The attendant’s rays quivered nervously. He released the door, playing with his hands. “I—I mean, you were fun to have around! We didn’t mind t-taking care of someone older! I-It felt refreshing! Yeah! You took time with your words and you never made a mess and you were always super polite, you were as sweet as any other good child! N-NOT THAT YOU’RE A CHILD!!”

Large, panicky hands waved wildly in my face. I recoiled, which the robot seemed to notice, leaning away. His head hung low in his hands, defeated.

“Ahhh, I don’t know what I’m trying to say anymoore!!” He whined. Were I not still grappling with my own thoughts, I would’ve better acknowledged that I haven’t seen Sun get worked up in such a human way before. He seemed genuinely flustered. It was… rather cute.

So… The robot doesn’t think I’m a lonely loser? Because he’s kind of a lonely loser as well?

I placed a consoling hand on the animatronic’s waist, seeing as I couldn’t reach any higher without looking stupid. “No, no, I get it. I had fun too.”

Sun lowered his hands at my words. “Really? You did??”

I nodded with a smile, feeling myself redden again. “Yeah. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind visiting again… if I was actually allowed back in here—“ Large hands seized me by the shoulders as Sun’s face swallowed up my field of view.

“Nonono, you’re allowed!!” he insisted, rays spinning. “You can come back any time! Any time at all!! You’ll always, always, always be welcome! You could even help out with the kids, if you’d like! Do you mind kids? You don’t have to if you don’t want to, it could be just the two of us again! I could let the staff know and—“

Listening to the attendant excitedly ramble away—so eager at the thought of spending more time with me—made something in my chest flutter. Feeling tickled, I let out a laugh, causing Sun to go quiet. He quickly straightened himself and went back to fidgeting with his hands, appearing somehow small despite towering over me.

“Is… Is that too silly of an idea?” He laughed back nervously.

“No, no, it’s not that,” I smiled, shaking my head. “I mean, it’d probably be a little weird for me to visit here so much…”

Sun visibly drooped.

“…but if there are any job openings, I have been looking for one! The plaza isn’t too far of a drive.” The speed at which Sun’s head snapped back up would’ve literally snapped any human neck under the same forces. I was torn between finding the reaction hilarious and a little worrying, had I been a few inches closer to his head.

“Y—You, you…” he stuttered, a faint buzzing noise coming from somewhere. “You mean…!!“

I could barely give him a nod before I was swept up in his arms, spinning around a few times. “YES YES YES, THIS IS THE BESTEST BEST DAY EVER!! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU—“

I threw my head back in laughter, endlessly tickled by his overflowing enthusiasm. After a few more spins, Sun raised me higher and nuzzled into my torso. I gasped at the unexpected warmth of his face. It didn’t burn, but I never remembered him running this hot before. Sun seemed to have heard me as he immediately pulled away.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Did I hit something?” He did a quick—maybe literal— scan of my body.

“Nothing wrong, I was just surprised,” I told him, placing a hand on his cheek just to make sure I wasn’t just imagining things. I definitely wasn’t. “I know you’re the Sun and all, but… Were you always this warm?”

The heat under my hand almost seemed to intensify after I mentioned it.

“W-Warm, you say?” Sun repeated. As if on cue, the sound of vents seemed to whir louder somewhere within the animatronic’s body.

Hi! Same Anon that sent in the human Y/N with the baby Sirens Sun and Moon (I'm so glad you liked it! :)

You wrote that piece so wonderfully! And I adore all of your stories so much!

I just can't help but imagine that the Reclusive Writer Y/N might be more open to becoming a Siren, with the irony being that their babies would get the chance to teach them things!

Of course that first day as a Siren might not go over that well because the babies-now-teens failed to register Y/N never had a fluke before and the things they knew the basics from birth. Like stopping...(Crashed into a rock) Depth perception (Missed the air hole and hit the ice with their head) and hunting... (Got sucker punched by an octopus)

First night ends with Orca-writer unconscious on Eclipse from a concussion...

I loved it so much, ahh! I'm glad you enjoyed it! <3

The recluse isn't an easy human to persuade into becoming a siren. As much as Eclipse adores you and wants you in the water with your siren sons, you're a bit stubborn and set in your ways. (Hence the recluse part.) So, you would spend a long time telling Eclipse no whenever he says you could swim with him, Sun, and Moon. It would be an easy song to sing.

You keep resisting due more to their nature than any logic or will, and Eclipse tells you that one day you will say yet (and you laugh at that), but eventually, you notice how Sun and Moon keep swimming farther and farther out, exploring the sea. You enjoy the closeness with Eclipse and know you could still be closer if you simply accepted...

It's just a hard thing to change about yourself. You love your babies (and you love Eclipse, you love raising Sun and Moon with him), but trading your legs for a tail is a big decision. It's not one you take lightly.

You finally ask Sun and Moon one day if it would change anything if you become a siren, if they might see you differently than the human who raised them. (Eclipse says they're almost grown, ready to be adults.) Sun and Moon look at each other before agreeing that no, it wouldn't change anything. They love you. So long as you are here with them, they are happy.

That's the only answer you need before you turn to Eclipse and tell him that you'll let him sing his song and take you into the water. Sun and Moon are thrilled.

Of course, the first day is full of baby steps (wasn't it just yesterday you were filling a bathtub for the baby sirens, and now they're helping you to swim under the ice sheet to open waters?) Eclipse guides you most of the time. Sun and Moon are a bit too eager and restless to truly teach you, but they do hold tight to your arm to keep you upright when Eclipse has to leave your side for a moment, and they sing and trill such joyous sounds because now, there's no reason to ever be apart from each other. You're with your family forevermore.

Tell me about your princess quest au thing, I wanna know but I cant think of any specific questions so just...

*makes grabby hands at you*

So I'm reworking a lot of the details of it and I'll probably completely scrap and restart the fic Arcade lights BUT I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED

I'm more than happy to babble about it and since im reworking it and I'm taking this as an excuse to recap the whole thing

But its basically like a kind of "after happily ever after" kind of AU

So the entire focus of the AU is AFTER Y/N has kind of befriended and romanced Sun and Moon

But for informations sake here's a brief run down of the before

They originally started as an employee at the arcade prize encounter but after working some nightshifts and spending time with Sun and Moon management noticed a noticeable improvement in Sun and Moon's behavior and made Y/N their official handler

In order to be a handler Y/N had to undergo complete training that official fazbear mechanics have to go through. While doing this they're taught all the ins and outs by helping rebuild Bonnie

While this goes on Y/N is also sneaking around beating the different princess quest games (which they've been having increasingly worse nightmares about). Each game they beat causes Moon and the others infected to kind of shut down but when they reboot the virus's effect has lessened.

Tensions rise and things come to a head when Sun accidentally breaks Y/Ns arm in a fit of anger (not realizing he gripped too tight).

While avoiding Sun and Moon Y/N meets and teams up with gregory to reach and beat the last Princess quest Game in Vanny's room. While trying to do so they have to face every infected bot in the plex all at once with Y/N holding them off while Gregory plays the game

They just barely manage to beat the game in time causing all the bots in the plex (aside from Freddy) to shut down and Vanny to pass out. Y/N rushes Vanny (Vanessa) to the hospital along with Gregory who also got injured

Only to come back to the plex a week later to find Moon has amnesia and has completely forgotten Y/N

So thats like the BEFORE plot

Not really essential to KNOW with the story i plan to write around the amnesia plotline but like

Thats the before (which if i ever write into a fic would be like a prequel)

As for the main focus of the AU itself the now

Half of it takes place IN the pizza plex. And the other half takes place outside of it

Since this post is already pretty long I'll just give some Highlights of what happens during Moon's early amnesia stage

Sun gets the virus and loses it all at once (and destroys the daycare)

Moon reverts to his original self which hides his more mischievous mannerisms behind a soft shy demeanor

Vanessa includes Y/N and Gregory on the plan to defeat Afton and burn the pizzaplex down

Bonnie is up and about again and theres a struggle amongst the band

Moon remembers that he hurt people and becomes afraid he could do it again

Y/N spends several weeks practically living in the pizzaplex ignoring their own trauma from all this time in favor of helping sun and moon

If you wanna know more all you gotta do is ask. I will never shut up so long as someone will listen

Pandemonium |Gojo/Nanami

——————————————

This may or may not be based on a true story. But moral of the story: Never settle for less, know your worth, and don’t be scared of starting over. Time heals if you allow it.

——————————————

Your reflection stared back at you…… but you can’t even tell if you’re happy or not.

You can’t tell if you’re scared to be alone or if you still love him. You know you don’t feel the same way as you did in the beginning of the relationship.

In the beginning You worshipped him because you finally felt something you haven’t felt your whole entire life before you got with him.

Happiness

But as the relationship progressed the cost of happiness climbed too high and you had to pay for it with your tears. You wouldn’t lie if you said you felt under appreciated. That it took him to break up with you 3 times in order for him to realize he ‘truly’ wants to be with you.

You wouldn’t lie when you said you would feel disgusted with yourself for the times you devalued your body and worth to get him to open his eyes and see that you’re the one for him.

You wouldn’t lie when you said you were foolish for thinking that opening your legs for him, buying him gifts, and showing him how much you want him back would make him crawl back to you.

You were like an addict trying to chase the dopamine rush. Any ounce of approval or attention would satisfy you for that day. You were so pathetic that your days were revolved around him even when y’all weren’t together.

And here you are now. Your reflection taunting you from the mirror.

‘You got him back, didn’t you? But at what cost? Every time y’all get into an argument your anxiety skyrockets cause you think he’s going to leave you. You’re even scared to tell him how you feel because it seems like every time you do it turns into an argument because he didn’t like how you came off…… then it ends up as your fault… right?’

You were almost free… you were at your lowest of low when a new friend came into your life. He was basically your only friend and to this day you still feel a pang of regret for cutting him off for your boyfriend Satoru and felt even more worse when he found another way to contact you and wished you nothing but happiness and to stay safe.

Nanami was like the sun to your solar system. He was attentive and gladly helped you to get Satoru out your mind… he was literally the opposite of Satoru and it scared you.

It scared you to think of moving on with someone else, it scared you to think Nanami was doing all of that for you when you couldn’t feel anything at the time. You were literally a walking zombie, and you regret not appreciating Nanami more when you had the chance.

it scared you that even when Nanami was pulling the moon down for you, your heart was still aching for Satoru.

You were almost free.

Until one night, after indulging into your unhealthy habit of alcohol, you called Satoru. You felt relieved when the dopamine finally rushed through your veins as he answered the call. “Y/N?” The sound of your name rolling of his tongue solidified the fate you chose for yourself.

‘Was it worth it? Losing yourself and someone who cared about you…. Was it truly worth it?’

[amphiptere-art]

I'm going to talk about one of my favorite OC's.

Which is technically connected to warehouse AU.

In warehouse AU (which I might start calling star foolery.) The Pizza flex burns down like any other after fire story. The difference is that the animatronics are able to be retrieved and rebuilt. The only problem is that due to what happened in the Pizza Plex. And also because Gregory made out alive and started telling people. Fasco kind of ran out of money. They needed a cheap start.

Which is where the name Warehouse AU comes in. Y/N in this story is just a contractor. Basically through family connections they have this giant collection of warehouses under there ownership. They didn't keep up with the family business, and so the warehouses eventually emptied out. Leaving them with a bunch of warehouses, And no real money. So they start renting out these warehouses. As long as you could pay the price you could have the warehouse for a certain number of days. A small business could build in them, sometimes it was for one night rave, other times movie producers would rent them out for a couple days. If a business built in a warehouse. And they basically had to pay rent. And that is what kept Y/N a float.

I'm going to refer to Y/N as Reina. As that was the temporary name I gave this Y/N when I first made the story.

But Fazbear's sees these warehouses and decides to buy them out. Or at least buy out one of them. Now this isn't your small shack warehouse. These are big. So they decide to basically make a mini Pizza Plex. Of course they try and sneak around the bush and get around Reyna's basic rent. So they decide to play another deal. Reina, Will be paid like any other employee. They get full jurisdiction over the robots and all the happenings and pizzaplex. Including any money gained through vending machines and other things. If they don't have to pay rent. Reina agrees. Taking it as sort of having a business of her own. Which starts the whole AU.

Now Raina already had a security system. It was a small drone with a basic AI intelligence. I'm not for it to make its own decisions, but not enough for free will or sentience. A version of this AI patrols around each of their warehouses. The one around the particular warehouse that fazbear bought out, has one of these AI that has grown to love a passerby that plays the hurdy gurdy. This little bit of information will make more sense later.

So the wonderful start of the AU happens. Fazbear builds a mini pizza place inside of a warehouse. The first animatronic they send is Glam Rock Freddy and Gregory. Which they force Raina to basically adopt due to wanting to stop him from spreading slander on their name. Luckily Glam Rock Freddy mostly takes over child care. Raina is basically just buying for his basic needs.

Next they send in models from other pizza plexes. Or well, models over either discontinued or have been in a state of disrepair until the pizzaplex saw it fit. They send in Glam Rock foxy and Glam Rock Bonnie. Bunny comes with a little bit of trauma of being basically dismantled. While foxy is a brand new animatronic who doesn't know anything other than his basic programming.

They then send in music man. As music man was able to protect most of his hardware. Music Man unfortunately doesn't have as much room and movement as he once did. Only able to move in between his parts and service, a smaller arcade area, and the stage. Otherwise he is alright, and is playing basically what he did before.

Then we get to the part that this whole AU was based around. Sun and Moon get sent in. Sun and Moon being the only ones left that actually had the virus. Which unfortunately becomes Reina's problem. Otherwise sun and moon remain the same. Having daycare protocols and some leftover theater protocols.

Now everybody arrives with their own a bit of surprise. Since Reina decided to own basically what the animatronics did, They were the ones that turned them on. What's results in them having most of the jump scares. Freddy came in online. Foxy of course had just turned online, and therefore didn't have much of a scare. Bonnie is scared the hell out of her because he awoke screaming. Music Man was relatively calm but holy crap that's a giant robot. And sun and moon tried to kill her. Fun times waking up all these animatronics.

Now I've got to explain how the warehouse is outfitted before we get into any of the fun stuff of the story. Basically it is an extra large warehouse with an outside area that has been transformed. Inside there is a double decker arcade. Entryway. Stage. Daycare with outside access. A Fazer blast. A mini version of Rockstar row. And a parts and service that can handle both small and large animatronics. Outside there is a pirate's cove themed bumper boats. There is also a outside theater. Along with the outside portion of the daycare. And a good mini golf section.

Now we have a description of the layout of the warehouse. Every animatronics gets reassigned to an area. Freddy gets to basically stay up on stage, and is a walk around attraction. Foxy gets the bumper boats. Bonnie takes over the mini golf. Music Man of course gets the arcade. Sun gets the daycare and theater. Moon gets the daycare and fazer blast.

As you can tell. There's a little bit of swapping. Mostly in the fact that the daycare attendant gets to have to split between two different attractions. Of which third thing. Everybody has to go up on the stage for performances. Mostly at particular times, But nonetheless they have to go up there. Meaning the poor daycare attendants have to take care of four areas.

No of course the daycare attendants are extremely concerned about the fact that they are taking over four areas. The only really have coding for two of those areas. The daycare and theater. Fazer blast is fun to moon, but not something he knows. And playing up on the stage is completely unknown to them. None of them have held an instrument in their lives. They had a music box, and that was enough.

Which gets onto my OC! In this world, The virus is connected to the security protocol. And while Rayna is able to remove the virus entirely. Sun and Moon still correlate that security protocol with bad stuff. This causes the conundrum of Sun and Moon not being able to do their security protocol. Plus rounding up around the fact that they don't know how to play instruments in a rock-like fashion. Causes a big issue as Reina needs to get them on the stage or else fazco will get on her ass.

So she decides to be sneaky. She takes her lovely security drone. Which already has most of the security protocols for the warehouse in it. And plugs it into Sun and Moon. It basically takes all of Sun and Moon's security protocols into itself. Therefore making the third personality ‘eclipse’. But in this AU. They are called Dusk or Dawn. Dim together.

Sun and Moon are happy that the security protocol has moved over to Dim. The only problem is that dim is very much a newborn AI. In their mind is also a stagnant AI. Meaning they have to teach it and extend its parameters. Which sun and moon start doing. Teaching them how to properly scold children, while also watching from the sideline as it does it's security programs for the warehouse.

Nice little thing though. Because of the way Dim was implemented. They are inadvertently adopting Sun and Moon's AI. Meaning that dim is actually learning and becoming sentient. This doesn't really become apparent until sun and moon spot Dim ignoring his duties to listen to that passer by play his music.

Reporting this to Reyna who, despite being surprised by the security drone gaining sentence. Doesn't really care. They had a struggle to get Dim to play an instrument for Sun and Moon. So maybe he can just learn from the passerby. Which happens. They buy a hurdy-gurdy and tell Dim to learn how to play the instrument from that passerby. Which they do. The interactions between Dim and this passerby increasing their intelligence and sentience all the more.

Eventually Dim is just kind of considered another AI. Another one of the gang. And everyone basically learns of Dims existence as a sentient AI. Unfortunately this causes problems with fazbear. As they never said Raina could create her own AI with their technology. Luckily Rena's got a trick up her sleeve. It's her warehouse. Do they want to lose their warehouse? Fazbear decides no. They do not want to lose their warehouse. So Dim exists and becomes a part of the gang.

That's sort of turned into a history of the beginning of the warehouse AU and its world. Instead of just talking about Dim. So I'm probably just going to make another post explaining Dim's abilities and looks. But this is a good history of how they came into existence. And yes, at first I just called them an eclipse like. But eventually I realized this was basically my daycare attendant OC. So I bite the bullet and just call them an OC.

And I love them for being my OC.

WEIRDLY SPECIFIC AND SUPER RANDOM AU CONCEPT TIME!!

So there’s an au where Sun doesn’t exist, it’s just Moon who kinda chills in the daycare to keep the peace and help kids sleep at naptime. The Afton virus stuff happens and people are beginning to get a sneaking suspicion that the bots have something to do with it but they can't prove it (not sure about the exact timeframe but yea) Enter a programmer y/n who somehow learns about the virus and wants to put a stop to it once and for all. They manage to program a “virus” of their own to infect the animatronics and kill the afton virus. Since they want to be able to monitor the bots at all times and watch the progress, they get a job as a security guard, secretly bringing their own laptop into the security room to run lines of code and infiltrate the system. The first animatronic to successfully be infected is Moon, and instead of killing the afton virus immediately, it sort of just… makes itself a host, who keeps switching back and forth between the consciousness of itself and the uninfected Moon (so basically a Sun is born lol) As long as this virus Sun is kept online, Moon can operate like normal- and he’s just as confused as he is relieved to finally be back to reality (though for mystery and angst purposes, he has no idea what’s happened since before he got infected dun-dun) Sun starts communicating with Moon (as much as y/n tries to stop it) and eventually he figures out something’s up, which inevitably leads to him finding and confronting y/n about it… and when he realizes what he did while infected… yeah, he kinda just literally shuts down. Leaving Sun to figure out how to take care of the responsibilities of the daycare while Moon is “sleeping” (don’t worry he comes back later but he has some trauma to process) On a less angsty note, Sun has absolutely no clue how to behave around people, much less kids, and has to base all his “normal” interactions around what he can research on youtube- all while not drawing suspicion from any of the other staff. He asks y/n how to act more naturally and they have no clue either since y/n’s an extreme shut-in who can’t keep a conversation going for more than 5 seconds as it is. There’s also a plot going on in the background of y/n trying to figure out how to get the virus to work on the other animatronics, since so far Sun was the only successful attempt. 

Even more fun if Sun has the ability to kinda travel through any electronic connected to wifi, and can remotely infect y/n’s computer at will if he wants to (giorejuigheughuir just imagine y/n’s tryna sleep and all of a sudden Sun makes a super loud pop-up play bc he doesn’t understand the concept of sleeping yet and wants to get their attention to ask them something- and it turns out to be something stupid like “time sensitive question: how to open bottle of glitter glue)  Also I just rlly like the idiot of a hurt/comfort side of things where Sun, even though he hasn’t figured out how the whole emotions thing works yet, ends up helping Moon heal from the trauma, especially since he’s available for venting to 24/7 lol. Like before this, Moon has worked in the daycare alone till now, so he ends up finding an unlikely friend in both Sun and y/n (well mainly bc Sun has zero filter and will blabber about everything he knows about y/n behind their back fireuigjregtuilg)

(and yes the roles could be swapped, as if you couldn’t tell I’m more of a Sun simp but I could absolutely see it working with an actual (non-afton) virus Moon. It’d certainly make more sense canonically… like over time he’d become less of a blank slate and more of a caregiver, so much so that management notices the shift in behavior of their Sun animatronic helping kids sleep during naptime (something he learned to do to get a stubbornly sleep-deprived y/n to sleep lol) so they modify Sun’s body to include Moon’s actual form.
