"ℙ𝕀𝕊𝕋𝕆𝕃𝔸" an Alejandro Vargas x OC; Pt 1

Warnings: Non really-just some. Not for this part at least. Just some vulgar language and a very very very very slight mention of past attempted murder. Oh, and refusal to move on. (not like-romanticly, like rant wise.)

OC: Maria "Pistola" Sanchez

Credits to OC: Myself C:

Tags: @writing-with-moss @thebunnednun @seconds-over-first @needa-sum-luvn and @skauni oh and wth why not!? @spicy-seaweed

"I love how she does this!" "I love how she does that!" "Ohh, she performs so well, how is she only a corp?"

Like she needed reminding of why she never tired to move up. Of Why she tried to make herself seem stupid and weak...but every single time she went into battle-she was reminded.

"Maria's one of the best-i recommend-" but she wasn't listening anymore. This is why she and Alejandro never saw eye to eye-he tired to convince her to let him write to the General to move her up-she always said no. She didn't want to be seen-seeing as she was forced into this life. "Ay, Cállate, Alejandro! I'm not the best of the best and you know this," she said, cutting him off in the middle of this stupid meeting. Alejandro put one eyebrow up-so high it arched in the middle and made him look ever so dangerous. "Delscupme?"

She bit her lower lip and said, "Nada...Nada." "Yo creio que...y, Si has terminado, María..." Maria nodded, and tuned out his voice again. Rudy was going to use her as a toll during this mission and she already knew that-he always did. Rudy was nice, sure, but he had a levrage on Maria no one else did. Her past. She looked at Rudy-and he looked back, smiling. El Pendejo. She forced a smile back at him before looking down at her lap-"Maria! Are you even listening to me, amor?" "Si, si, claro que si." Alejandro hummed before saying, "What did I just say then?" "You said i was to work with Rudy-otra ves-and-" "No. I did not. I said you are to work with el nuevo teniente."

"There's a new one?" Maria asked, quirking a brow up, and crossing her arms over her chest-oh if only she knew the affect she had on him. Alejandro took a deep breath before saying, "Si, there's a new one. Ghost, they call him. You've never met him-but we're changing that...you'll also be working with another sergeant-Soap." Maria held back on hell of a barking laugh. "SOAP? ¿Jabón? they call him that? Why?" "no se, now. If your done talking back, we'll leave to meet your new partners." "Fine, fine..."

Alejandro picked up a file and said, "This is for the-" "I dont want to know, Alejandro. Nor do i want to, Pendejo." Alejandro sighed, "You still mad at me for that?" "Yes i am." "I told you-you succeed that mission, you were moving up whether you liked it or not!" "Yo se! Pero-I told you why i don't want to!" "And I don't care! The forms are sent-long over due-and el general-" "I don't care! No me importa!"

And they walked off in silence. Maria's anger known to all those who saw her-Alejandro's too. "Why are you like this, chica?" "Be-" "Don't give me no sassy response, quagliò." "...im going to kill you, Vargas." "Try it, muchacha. I dare you." "...Vete a la mierda, Alejandro."

"Ghost...is the one with the skull mask, si? ...How do we know he ain't part of el sin nombre's ranks?" Maria asked, eyeing the new Lt. Alejandro sighed. "Laswell recommended him. Same with Price." Maria was still skeptical but she nodded. "Okay..." "Just-go meet him, huh?" "Fine." She walked over to him and said, "Ghost, i take it?" the tall man nodded. "You must be Pistola." "that I am."

"Why do they call you that, eh?" ghost asked, Maria smiled, "Should I show you, Pendejo?" "Ay! That's enough, Mari-Pistola." Maria glared at Rudy and he fixed her name halfway through. "Mari, her name's Mari?" the other one asked, the one with a mohawk. She shook her head. "Dumb nickname they call me," she lied smoothly. "Short for my real name-which you idiotos will not be receiving whatsoever-so don't ask." Alejandro frowned at Maria before raising his eyebrows.

'Play nice.' That's what the look meant. She frowned back before sighing. If that CIA lady said that they could trust these two...No. Should she trust again it would be the end of her world. No, she won't play nice. She'll play cold. She'll play harsh. And she'll play Dirty. She nodded at Alejandro, who was now walking over before looking at the one with a mohawk. "You-Mohawk. You a punk rocker or somethin'?" And he blinked. "Scottish. That's wha' aye am." She hummed. "Scotland, huh? What part?" "That's private." "My bad-just tryna...i dunno, be nice or whatever," she said, shrugging. Soap nodded, "I get it, i doo, just doon't ask my home yeah?" "Yeah-sure."

"Oye, Pistola, ven." "Si, senor."

"Que?" "Maria, por favor, I know your scared of-" "Shut up." "Exscuse-" "Shut. Up, Alejandro. I'm scared yes, But do I want Rudy or the rest of LOs Vaqueros knowing that? No!" "Why are you scared, Amor? Soy aqui-" "Yo se! Yo se, okay, Alejandro? Pero-Yo-" she took a deep breath, "They could work for my uncle and we wouldn't never know." Alejandro sighed, "Your never goinf to let that go are you?" "You think Imma just-forgive mi tio for trying to kill the both of us?" "...No. Not when you put it like that...but he's the genaral of Mexico! What are we going to do? Plus-their flags say-" "Undercovers! They could be undercovers!"

Alejandro looked at Maria-really looked at her for the first time since recruiting her eleven years ago and his eyes went wide.

"...You don't trust me, do you?"

And she shook her head. Eleven years-and she never trusted him. Not once. Not during the nights they spent alone-not during the missions they took, not during any of it. She never had trusted him.

"Is this why they call you Pistola? Because your like a bullet to the heart, Corazon?"

TORMENTORS

Oliver J. (Bonnie mask)

Oliver had been michaels closest friend (and probably biggest si- more on that if somebody asks-) for years. Everyone had ran off after the bite, but not oli. He stayed there and comforted his friend like a good person.

Mark E. (Yup, emily.) [chica mask]

Mark was an adopted emily who was brought into the family soon after henry died. He doesnt know much about any of his family. Also, 🏳️‍⚧️! :D

Mason C. (Freddy mask)

mason had always been pretty funny. He was a good friend, definitely, but sometimes he followed into bad ideas, like leaving michael there after he saw his own brother die…

that was a horrible decision.

—————————————————————

this likely wont make much sense, but after he threw up ennard, jeremy found him (more on that if asked) and managed to help him. now these five idiots share a household!

Mangled [FNAF 2, Renegade AU]

Published: Oct 27, 2024

https://www.deviantart.com/paigelts05/art/1114911672

My second pick for Faztober was day 11's prompt, Mangled.

The lockdown occured once police were able to prove that the children that had gone missing before the opening day of the New Freddy Fazbear's Pizza had all been killed within the restaurants walls.

The manager immediately locked the building down with both staff and patrons inside, and the doors wouldn't get opened until other police officers arrived in the morning.

Out of the people trapped inside, the notable individuals were the night guard Jeremy Fitzgerald, the head of training for security Krasnyy Guy, the head of security Vincent Taylor, the chief of police Megan Schmidt, the chef's son Mike Schmidt, the chief's daughter May Schmidt, former employee Fritz Smith, missing technician Oliver Rocha, and a child named PT.

PT was one of approximately ten children who were trapped by the lockdown, but she was the only child who actively fought against the animatronics.

Shortly after the night started, PT found the room that the manager had shoved Krasnyy into and helped the red haired guard with finding a way out.

Later in the night, she hid in the office. Jeremy was the on-duty guard, now protecting several others. PT Krasnyy, May, and Mike hid in the back of the office and helped by using torches to keep the vents iluminated. Each also used a crappy plastic mask to throw off the animatronics.

During the morning, when it was clear that the police wouldn't show up to stop the lockdown for another few hours, Megan knew that it was do-or-die so declared fighting the robots to be self defence, and the human's counter-offensive begun. PT was the only child who fought whilst the rest hid.

She grabbed a circular saw, and helped Jeremy eliminate mangle when it was trying to bite his arms to shreds.

One child's drive to fight started a chain reaction that would spell each Toy animatronics destruction and each ghost that inhabited those shells hopping to one of the people present.

The ghost within Mangle jumped to Fritz.

The ghost within Toy Chica jumped to Jeremy.

The ghost within Toy Freddy jumped to Mike.

The ghost within Toy Bonnie jumped to PT.

The ghost within C locations Marionette jumped to May.

Nobody knows what happened to the ghost within Balloon Boy.

Fnaf 4 Bullies: Incorrect Quotes

For some added context, my headcannon names for the bullies (Excluding Mike ofc) are as follows: Emma (Chica mask), Aaron (Freddy Mask), and Kent (Bonnie mask)

---

Emma: I have a question. Aaron: Shoot. Emma: Is the S or C in scent silent? Mike: Fuck you, I’m going to be thinking about this all day. Aaron: Okay well, cent is pronounced the same way as scent so I’m gonna say the S is silent. Emma: Okay, but sent is also spelled the same way. Mike: Google says that the C was added in the late seventeenth century, so I guess the S is silent. Kent: Plot twist, both the S and the C are silent and the E actually makes the sss sound. Mike: Kent is not allowed to talk anymore.

---

Aaron: Hah! 69! you know what that means? Mike: What? Kent: That you're a child. Emma: HOW YOU GUESS MY IQ?!?

---

Mike: Question, how difficult would it be to bowl in a bee suit? Emma: Not that hard, I don't think, as long as you can move. Aaron: I'd assume as hard as it is to bowl in a maid outfit. Aaron: Wouldn't be any harder, but you'd get some WEIRD looks. Kent: Are. Are you speaking from experience. Aaron: No! Aaron: Aaron: ….Maybe.

---

Emma: A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. Aaron: An optimist sees light at the end of the tunnel. Mike: A realist sees a freight train. Kent: The train driver sees three idiots standing on the tracks.

[ucn-au]

Ok so as a follower of soniccrazygal, I must ask:

What was Michael's diet when he was recovering from ucn? Or was he sleeping the whole time?

(I believe this was Canon in your ucn au) you mentioned Simon, (Chica mask bully) being able to play Rush E. Has he ever played any of the other impossible songs from the same author/ composer, like Hal of the Mountain King or the other Rushes, like Rush C and Rush G? There's also an Angry Birds Rush remix too, lol

Michael almost didn't sleep for the first 3 weeks, mainly because he was too scared of it all being just a dream, but after OMC made him realize that it was reality he slept a lot.

Regarding his diet, it was mainly composed of light foods, mainly because he was no longer used to eating after more than 30 years of not eating

And regarding Simon, yeah! He can play Hall of the Mountain King, and after Frederick introduced it to the game Angry Birds, he's trying to learn to play the remix!

Mark keeps feeding his friend's obsession with playing impossible music by searching music sheets

Sitting, Just staring at the sunrise.

CONTEXT: READER HAS LONG HAIR AND MIGUEL LOVES IT SO MUCH!

-He was always a workaholic, you told him to take a break once but he refused to do it. He took your offer in consideration and went to your earth, as he found you sitting on the edge of the tallest building in your city, he made his way to sit next to you as he found you with your mask on and your hair tucked in it.

-"Hey, Amor." He said softly as he rubbed your back and sat down with you. "Hi, guess your taking a break with me?" You asked him holding his hand as he sat down. "Yeah, I wanted to see you." He kissed your cheek and put a arm around your waist and pulled you closer. "I missed you too, Miggy."

-The two of you sat there for a while talking about life, the people passing the street below you, and anything else that was interesting. After a while you got hot under your mask, the wind blowing hard from where you guys were. "Here let me take my mask off real quick. " "Of course Amor." You got out of his grasp and took your mask off, the hair tie you had on also went off with the mask. Your silky/curly h/c hair went down to you back then soon was lifted up by the angry wind, flowing through the air.

-Miguel looked at you for a split second and looked back, his eyes wide underneath the hologram mask taking in your beauty. "Wow...your hair." You looked at him with small/medium/large strands of hair in your face, he pushed the out of your face softly and cupped your face. You leaned into his large hand and held in with yours.

-He leaned into your face asking for a kiss, (Cant blame him, your beautiful y/n!!) You closed the small gap between the both of you. The kiss was short but passionate. As the both of you parted you heard a sniffle behind the two of you, Hobie, Peter, Jessica, and Mayday just watched the entire thing and you felt a blush creep up on your cheeks. Miguel had a larger blush than you. "What the shock are you doing here?!" He asked the 4 spiders.

-Hobie who just came to drop off food for you stayed silent, Peter held Mayday as she played with the mask on her fathers face said, "Watching the most beautiful heartfelt thing I've ever seen..." He wiped a pretend tear from his eyes. Jessica leaving fast because 'the baby is making me pee' you were still surprised how she hasn't give birth yet.

-"Just came for a delivery, whats good y/n?" Hobie asked you setting the food next to your mask and patting your shoulder, leaving with Jessica. "Can you at least do that again?" Peter begged the two of you. "No, no. Just leave. " Miguel told him because he really wanted to do something. "Would you do it for Mayday?" He held the baby up to his face. "Peter please?" You politely asked him as he left pretending to be sad. Again it was just the two of you on the building top, the wind picking up its speed.

-"May I do something, hermosa chica?" He asked as a hand crept up your hip. "What is it, Miggy?" He ran his hand through your hair, it felt so nice to him. You leaned against his shoulder kissing his cheek. He leaned his head over yours.

-I guess this is your break with him.

Thx ":3

Gosh that was pretty embarassing tbh-

Here's the correct timeline

1969: Michael Afton is born to the relationship between William Afton (25) and Daniela Chavez (23). Daniela and an unnamed child unfortunately die while the woman is giving birth to the unnamed child

1974: William marries a woman named Claire Schmidt (26)

1975: William Afton (31) and Henry Emily (33) open their first restaurant, Freddy Fazbear’s Family Diner. Elizabeth and Evan Afton are born

1979: William Afton (35) and Henry Emily (37) welcome a new business partner, a man named Cornelius Hart (36)

1981: William and Cornelius open Circus Baby’s Pizza World, but it closes after a day. Death of Elizabeth Afton (7)

1983: Bite of '83, death of Evan Afton (8), killed by mistake by his older brother Michael (14) and his three friends Simon (Chica Mask), Mark, (Bonnie Mask), and Fredrick (Freddy Mask), and Charlie Emily (9). Freddy Bear Fazbear Family Diner closes

1985: opening of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza and murder of the Missing Children

1986: Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza closes

1987: opening of the new Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza (FNaF 2 location), which is closed after a few months because of the Bite of '87, when The Mangle almost kills an employee named Jeremy Fitzgerald (19), who ends up in a coma for six months

1988: William Afton (44) infiltrates the closed location and destroys the Originals in an attempt to free souls, but is chased by them. He hides in Springbonnie but the springlocks snap, killing him. In the same year, Michael Afton (20) receives a letter from his father, in which he is written to go to Circus Baby’s Entertainment and Rental to find his sister Elizabeth, but HandUnit mistakenly assigns him the false name of Eggs Benedict. Michael survives until the fifth night, but is then killed by Ennard, an animatronic who is practically a fusion of all the Funtimes using the Scooper, and is then used as a skin suit. During the period under Ennard’s control, Mike’s soul is contacted by an unknown spirit, who helps him endure the past period controlled by the animatronic. Ennard leaves Michael’s body after 5 months (the body remains almost intact thanks to the Remnant that the Scooper injected him with at the time of death).

1989: Michael discovers the identity of the spirit, his unborn younger twin brother. While Daniela's soul went to the afterlife, the unnamed twin's soul stayed in the living world, attaching itself to Michael's. The soul remained dormant for years, but it still grew with Michael, until the Remnant woke him up. The Souls names himself Terrence

1990: Michael discovers the diaries of his father (who had discovered the killer and the Remnant, but the identity of the killer was still unknown) and begins to investigate him

1993: Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza opens (FNaF 1 location). Michael decides to take a job there as a night guard and technician to investigate, using the false name Mike Shmidt. There he meets Scott C, usually called Phone Guy, who immediately becomes good friends with Mike. Michael initially wanted to stay there only the first week, but eventually decides to stay and reveals to PG the truth about him, and the latter decides to help him. During the second week Jeremy Fitzgerald arrives, who was determined to investigate his accident and his former colleague Dave Miller, who seemed to be connected to both the accident and William Afton. A few months later Fritz Smith, the guard who had replaced Jeremy after the accident, arrived at the venue. The four become good friends and investigate together, discovering many things (the animatronics were again owned by the Missing Children, who had been forced to return to them when Fazbear Entertainment rebuilt the animatronics for the new location. In addition, the four discover several things about the Remnant, such as the fact that, in addition to tying souls to objects, can create artificial souls if infused regularly into an object, as seen with the Funtimes). Months after their first meeting, Jeremy and Mike get together. However, after six months Fritz dies in a car accident, and Jeremy dies from complications due to the Bite of '87. Their deaths cause a rift between Michael and PG, who end up separating. After a few weeks PG dies at the hands of animatronics (Fazbear Entertainment hid the incident), leaving Michael alone again, who disappears, unaware that the souls of his three friends were still there.

2023: Fazbear’s Fright is opened, a horror attraction based on legends that circulate about the story of Freddy Fazbear’s. The attraction also has Springtrap, an old springlock suit that once was Springbonnie, and that later turns out to contain William’s soul and body. A job is offered to test the attraction for a week as a night guard. Michael, finding the offer, accepts the job under a false name. He soon discovers the truth about Springtrap and finds himself facing him and the Phantoms, illusions commanded by Springtrap that attack him and damage the building’s systems. In the end, Michael burns everything in the hope of freeing his father, failing.

2024: Michael contacts Henry (82) under false identities and the two formulate a plan to destroy the possessed animatronics that were still around. Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place is opened, a fake pizzeria that hides a maze with no exit. Later the animatronics, called "Scraps", are attracted, which include Scaptrap (William), Scap Baby (Elizabeth), Molten Freddy (all Funtimes Baby, which is possessed by the souls of the Missing Children, Evan, the former Tormentors [Simon, Mark and Fredrick. They were all three dead in Sister Location while investigating Michael] and Michael’s three friends [Jeremy Fitzgerald, Fritz Smith and Phone Guy]) and Lefty (animatronic which contains The Puppet, owned by Charlie Emily). Just a month after the restaurant opens, it is set on fire, destroying all the animatronics and killing Henry and Michael. But then Michael wakes up in OMC's realm, and the two talk. It's revealed that the real killer, Cornelius, was the one who had tampered with Fredbear and added the murderous additions to the Funtimes, and is still alive due to Remnant, so OMC wants to make a deal with Michael: he will return to the living world, alive and well, and he will hunt down the killer. In exchange, his family and friends will reincarnate with the chance of remembering everything once Michael meets them again. Michael accepts, but also asks for a second chance for Terrence , and OMC accepts that addition to the deal. Then Michael and Terrence wake up three days after the fire, with their bodies alive and well, even if Michael’s body is strange. They find out that when OMC rebuilt Michael's body he noticed that many of Ennard's parts were still inside Michael's body. He tried to take them out but quickly found out that he accidentally fused them with Michael's flesh, so he couldn't do anything. Now some of Michael's organs are patched up with metal (lungs, intestine and heart) or straight-up made of metal (liver, small intestine and kidneys), and some of his bones (mainly his ribcage and vertebrates) are made of metal. This gives him many pros (enhanced stamina and strength, he's less prone to fractures or organ failures), but he's also more vulnerable to electricity, so a strong teaser can be dangerous for him.

2025: Michael and Terrence buy the old Afton’s estate in Hurricane

2032: the others start to reincarnate

2074: the reincarnated met Michael and Terrence after the killer tries to attack them

" we're still_. f-f-friends , arren't w_e ? "

His head leans oh-so-gently against the animatronic's arm. It's not exactly comfortable, but, well, comfort isn't high on his list of priorities, anymore; and he doubts that Foxy, whose entire existence is discomfort at this point, minds either. The lights flicker weakly overhead, casting the office in a pale blue glow. He's given up on the monitors for the night, he just can't do it. Chica won't bother him, and with Foxy at his door, neither will Bonnie. That only leaves Freddy, and he won't move until later. When he does, Mike will... figure something out.

He raises his eyes tiredly. From this angle, he can see the long curve of Foxy's snout, and a single, exposed ear. Spring had been so close to his heart, but Foxy-- oh, Foxy. How many Halloweens had he gone as a pirate, refusing to let it go, insisting to the other kids ( with his fists for backup ) that they were cool, actually, forever. He'd trained himself not to cry using that mask, and then he'd made it into a weapon, because the best defence was a good offence. Hey, loser--! Poor Foxy. Had Mike damaged his reputation, when he'd done what he'd done? He hoped not, but he'd retired the mask anyways. And still, sometimes, he dreams of getting trapped inside it, having it fuse to his face.

That has no impact on the warmth he feels for the ol' captain, though. Nothing ever could. "Of c-course w-we are," he says, putting as much emphasis into it as he can. "F--riends-- f-forever."

A/N: This isn't like the bullet point post that I did last time. This is the lengthy story format.

ENCORE

Anxiety embraced your tense form warmly, invisible limbs wrapping around your torso whispering harmful nothings in your brightly pigmented ears.

A shudder racked your spine sending unwelcomed twinges through your wires, your fingertips even though you weren't supposed to feal, felt numb, tingly, like pins and needles of a limb that had fallen asleep after being seated for too long.

A large firm hand placed itself on the little of your back, jolting your head spun (E/C) hues meeting with a pair of ocean blue ones that swirled with a flurry of emotions you were yet able to read.

The main singer had noticed your tense figure, ears pulled to the sides of your head and twitching fingers, every so often he would catch incoherent mumbles of encouragement but only for it to be of to no avail. Shoving the small resentment and anger towards you aside he took it upon himself to check on you.

"You ready kid?" he hums softly almost like you were a meek little bird that would be startled by even the slightest movement, brows furrowing his sky-colored orbs swirled with concern. Shaking your head, you turned from his blue and red lined masked face, eyes directed to the elevator like stage platform, instruments equally spaced for each animatronic. You could hear the upbeat music that played above the surface, it just barely reaching your ears. "No, but do I really have a choice?" Your ears sunk further, shoulders rising as a labored breath? racked your chest. Your anxiety had grown worse at the distinct chatter that seeped into the underground 'Mascot aid and performance' area.

The bears large hand like paw circled, calmly trailing your back at an attempt to calm your stressed wires and spurring gears. "You're going to do great, I'm sure of it!" He chirped, monotone voice humming comfortably.

Your body jolted forwards as a sudden weight slung itself across your back. A bubbly giggle escaped the chicken's beak as she snuggled her feathers against your face. It hadn't taken long for you two to grow close, yeah, she was iffy on your first arrival and how you would react, this having been the reason because of a certain gator... but after the week of maintenance and such you were able to finally properly interact with the crew. The others had to admit you were quite well with the ladies as you already had Chica and Roxanne wrapped around your finger. "Come on (Y/N)! You're gonna do amazing!" She squealed; lean arms being wrapped around your neck careful not to jab you in the head with her pink shoulder guards.

"But-"

"Alright droids, get in your places its show time!" A prepubescent voice demanded patting Montgomery on the back whose tail swayed behind him as he jogged towards his assigned spot on the moving stage platform, lifting the warm colored base guitar strap over his head he groaned, struggling momentarily as he attempted to get the strap over his purple shoulder guards. A few incoherent curses later the instrument was finally in its rightful place on his shoulder.

Placing a hand on your own yellow shoulder guards Freddy nodded. Saphire hues boring into your own as if to silently cheer you on.

Furrowing your brows, you nodded back with a deep breath. "I've got this... Maybe..." With a hearty chuckle the bear patted your shoulder reassuringly. "There you go. come on." He smiled softly head leaning toward the others who looked back at the two.

"LET'S ROCK THE ROOF OFF THIS JOINT!" Montgomery chanted, deep voice bellowing through the opening above.

Your legs took on a mind of their own as you marched to your drum set, the neon lights inside glowing brightly followed with the neon yellow drumsticks on the side.

eyes everting toward the chair before you, you sat clawed hands wrapping around the wooden, neon sticks, foot on the bass drums peddle you heaved a breath with another firm nod.

"Let's fucking do this."

The stage platform jerked, your metal exterior skeleton clinking together softly. The music blared as the announcer's voice boomed proudly.

"LADYS AND GENTALMEN BOYS AND GIRLS FAZBEAR ENTERTAINMENT WOULD LIKE YOU TO PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR THE FREDDY FAZBEAR BAND, WE ALSO WANT TO GIVE A WARM WELCOME TO OUR NEW RECRUIT TO THE CREW PLEASE WELCOME (Y/N) THE (Animal)!"

Deafening cries of welcoming filled your soul as the platform finally came to a jolting stop.

The music quieted as did the crowd.

Stage lights shining on you, the new center of attention.

With an anxious exhale your arms lifted, neon drumsticks suspended in the air.

Everything felt as if it had slowed, crippling anxiety ate, devouring your nonexistent stomach, you felt as if you could hurl. With clenching eyes and a firm smack of your sticks the lights flickered.

The crowd roared as they cried out in awe at your now vibrantly glowing appearance as your sticks thrummed against the instrument Infront of you.

Eyes fluttering open slightly you gazed to the crowd, glowsticks and neon apparel illuminating the huge room as they danced. You grinned widely at the breath-taking sight, anxiety fading away like a monster in the light.

Glancing from your audience your (E/C) hues met with a pair of blue ones once again. Freddy grinned as he danced along the stage spitting lyrics. Roxanne's hair flew into the air, clearly feeling the new beat as she headbanged.

Chica cried out in silent cheers as she tore a mean riff grinning widely at your illuminating form.

However, when your eyes landed on the oversized Gator, he glared back with resentment? Anger?

Again, anxiety devoured your wires, figure becoming stiff and jerky as he turned away from you.

___

"You did AMAZING out there (N/N)!" Chica cried as she hoped around the now descended platform. You lay the drumsticks down wiping the developed condensation from your brow smiling nervously at the hyper chicken who seemed to notice your still tense form.

Beak opening to speak she was cut off by a loud crash, heads jerking in the direction of the destruction you coiled.

Montgomery growled loudly as he marched from the room, Bass guitar laying on the ground somewhat unharmed "I gotta go blow some fuckin' steam." He growled marching down the hall, footsteps fading as he trudged.

You sighed softly ears once again retreating to the side of your head.

Freddy turned facing your saddened form. "Don't mind him, he's a bit hot headed." He spoke nonchalantly with the shake of his head. You nodded mouth opening to reply.

"Don't- he does this a lot; you'll get used to it eventually." Roxanne sighed.

"H-How about we go and do our meet and greets now? I'm sure Monty will come around eventually." Chica suggested with a nervous chuckle. With mutters of agreement again a large hand placed itself on the little of your back. Glancing up at the brown bear he chuckled.

"Better grab a few pens and get ready for flashing camera's because you're the center of attention today." Your nervous smile faltered into a poker face at the mention of this. With a long sigh your shoulders slunk forward, torso slouching as you stumbled from the performance room.

This was gonna be a long day...

WOOOO TWO PARTS IN ONE DAY, YALL BLEW PART ONE UP (to me anyway) BUT HERE IS YA PART 2, PART 3 COMING AS SOON AS I AM FINISHED.

I also might turn this into a full-blown book that I will probably put on like Wattpad and shit too so- yeah. Let me know if I should or not!!

[mysticmillie-chaos]

"And we wanna thank you for playing our game, we enjoyed your screams..."

Heyo, this is a part 2 to my fnaf headcanons since i have so many, if you wanna see rhe first one, here you go!

Here are the ages of the Afton family when they died:

William was 57, ms afton didnt die, but shes currently 90, michael was 24, evan was 9, elizabeth was 6.

Vanny is a lesbian.

Michael only had 2 girlfriends throughout his life, his first girlfriend was the chica mask bully, they broke up after evan died, his second girlfriend was a girl who he had met at a café named cynthia royce, but they had stopped dating after michael got scooped, because she believed that michael had died.

Jeremy, fritz and Michael went to the same school, but they never talked to eachother.

Williams parents planned on naming william 'Vincent', they changed their minds at the last second.

Funtime freddy and circus baby are the only ones in fnaf: sister location who are possessed, but they still are aggressive purely because they are vengeful.

Ms afton has daddy issues lol, why else would she fall in love with William of all people?

Heres how I think the aftons did in school:

William afton was a straight A+ student, he behaved well in class, was very respectful towards the teachers and fellow classmates, and was understandably very popular at school, however, we all know who he really is under this kind and charismatic facade.

Ms. Afton did do well in school, but not as well as William, she would always get an A- on science and English, a B+ on history and social studies, A on physical education and music, and C on mathematics, other then that, she was usually a quiet yet kind girl, she never caused any problems and usually stayed within her own friend group.

Michael afton was also a straight A+ student (intelligence runs in the family, you see lol), however, unlike his parents, michael was a huge problem child, he constantly disrespected the teachers, got into fights with other students, and bullied his classmates and would overall always cause problems at school.

Elizabeth afton was a good student, not as good as William and michael though, she would get an A on English and physical education, B- on science and music, C+ on social studies and history, and a D on mathematics, she was an energetic student, she was friends with alot of her classmates but alot of the students and teachers found her annoying because of her constant energy, she never caused any problems though.

Evan afton was a alot more decent than his sister in school, he would get an A+ on science, mathematics, and English, a B+ in history, a B- in social studies and music, and a C- on physical education, evan was a very quiet kid, and he would constantly get bullied by the other students and they would call him a 'crybaby', because of this, even never had any friends and mostly just stayed by himself unless someone would approach him.

Hope you guys enjoyed my fnaf headcanons, have a nostalgic day, night, or evening, farewell!

The Boys Table

Chapter 1

This is a Michael Afton x male oc book that I’m working on on my wattpad.

Warnings: murder, blood, William Afton, and bullying

Owen's p.o.v

"Mom can we pleaseee go to Circus Baby's pleaseee!!" My younger sister Alice whines.

"No I'm tired of that stupid place."I groan.

"Cmon Owen?" My mom begs me.

"No."

"I heard that the owners son might be there so you can play with him." Mom says trying to persuade me.

"Fine but this is the last time." I say grabbing my backpack and walking out the door.

‘I cannot believe they're making me come back to this creepy place.' I groan in my head as my mom and sister hop in the car.

At Circus Baby's...

"Alright I'm gonna go buy a pizza. Here's twenty bucks for games and here's your charger for your game." Mom says handing my sister a twenty and me my charger.

"Thanks mom." We say before running off in different directions.

I head to an empty table and sit down.

A boy with peach skin, brown hair,and the nicest blue eyes runs up to the table.

I look up and notice he has a foxy mask on his head.

"Hey boy! This is my table so beat it!!" The foxy mask says.

"Is your name on the table?" I ask not looking up from my game.

"My dad owns the place so all these tables are mine!!" The boy brags.

"Good for you." I say rolling my eyes.

"If you don't get up I'm gonna-"

"You're gonna what?" I ask.

"I'm gonna beat you up." He says.

"Ahhh I'm so scared!!" I sarcastically cry.

"Owen, where are you?" I hear my mom calling out for me.

I sigh and stand up from the table.

"It's yours man." I say walking away.

Michael's p.o.v

'Woah...' I say in my head.

I then feel butterflies in my stomach and my heart starts beating faster.

"Yo Mike, did you finally get that annoying boy to leave?" Jacob asks.

(Jacob is Bonnie mask)

"Y-yeah." I say clearing his head of the boy.

"Yeah he looked super annoying good thing you got rid of him." Anissa giggles.

(Anissa is Chica mask)

"Yeah nice job Mike." Wilson chuckles patting me on the back.

(Wilson is the Freddy mask)

"Whatever let's just eat." I say sitting down as Jacob sets the pizza down.

Owen's p.o.v

"Owen there you are where have you been?" Mom asks hugging me.

"I was talking with the owners son." I say.

"Ohhhhhh how was he?" Mom asks while looking around for Alicia.

"He was a brat." I say.

"Aww that's too bad." Mom says.

"Hey have you seen Alicia?" Mom asks.

"No I haven't." I say.

"Could you go check where Circus Baby is?" Mom asks.

"Sure." I say.

I then walk towards the area where Circus Baby was.

I look inside the room to see no one but Circus Baby.

I slowly creep into the room.

"Alicia?" I call out.

I look to where Circus Baby is and notice some red stuff dripping off of the stage.

"A-Alicia?" I call out scared.

I hop onto the stage and notice a pink bow and Alicia's hair pin.

I look at Circus Baby's face and notice the green and purple eye.

"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" I scream.

Multiple footsteps then rush into the room.

A pair of arms then wrap around my head.

"Hey hey what's wrong?" Foxy mask asks.

"C-circus Baby killed my sister!!!" I cry.

His breath freezes as he lets me go and runs up to the robot.

"MY BABY!" I hear my mom shout.

She then runs over to me and picks me up.

"What happened?" Mom asks.

"Circus Baby took Alicia!" I cry.

"What?" Mom asks in disbelief.

"I came in here like you asked and noticed r-red stuff dripping from the stage. I then walked closer to it and noticed Alicia's hairpin and a ribbon. Then I looked at Circus Baby's eyes and noticed Alicia's purple eye." I say.

A man then rushes in and notices me crying and Foxy mask on the stage.

"Goddamnit Elizabeth!" The man yells running onto the stage.

"YOU!" My mom yells letting me go and marching towards him.

"IT WAS YOUR ROBOT THAT TOOK MY CHILD AND IF YOU DON'T GET HER BACK IM GONNA-!!" Mom yells but is the cut off by the police pulling her back.

"Ma’am we're gonna have to ask you to calm down." One officer says.

"NO I WILL NOT HIS INVENTION TOOK MY BABY!" My mom cries.

"Ma'am if you don't calm down we're gonna have to take you outside." Another cop says.

I quickly wipe my tears and run to my mom.

I cling onto her and she picks me up.

"William Afton I swear you and your invention will regret the day you took my daughter from me." My mom growls as we walk away from Circus Baby's stage.

I turned around to check on Michael one last time and I could've sworn I saw Circus Baby wink at me.

I felt shivers go down my spine as me and my mom hurried out of that restaurant and out of the Aftons lives.

Or at least that's what we thought...

It dosent make sense for the main four to be animatronics in fnaf 4 let alone be all torn up and shit. We play as the crying child (youngest son of William afton) who is fighting for his life after the bite of 1983. The crying child's older brother (Michael afton) and his older brother friends have been relentless tormenting CC. Michael and his friends wear masks of Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and Foxy while they bully CC. This would be the reason CC is trying to c

Keep those 4 out during the game. At this time the main 4 were only in the cartoons, and CC father (William) wasn't the one working of the main 4. William's business partner (Charlie's dad, Henry) was the one making the main for in his garage seen in the silver eyes. So logically speaking CC would have know the animatronics were being made, let alone see them. So it would make more sense for the main 4 to look like a creepy version of the cartoon. How ever nightmare Fred bear makes sense because CC has seen the Fred bear animatronic. Not to mention his brother's prank, where he and his friends threw CC into animatronic Fred bear's mouth. They did this because the crying child always was scared of the mascot suite and the animatronic Fred bear. Nightmare dosent really fit into lore so I'll ignore him for now. But even then CC dosent seem scared of the cartoon versions of the main 4, so it dosent make sense for the main 4 to even be their. I personally think the "creepy" design dosent work in the game anyways. I think the nightmare animatronics take away the uncanny-ness of the first 3, just to be "overly creepy". I personally think it would be better to have something similar to like huggy wuggy or bendy.

First Day Back [A Fic]

Mike Schmidt wasn’t looking forward to going into work that night.

Most of that was because his sleep schedule had been upended by his time in the hospital, so staying awake for his usual overnight shift was going to be harder than usual. Some of it was the bulky crutches he had to use, now, and the braces holding his leg together that made walking without them impossible. Some of that was the uncomfortable conversations he knew he had to face, tonight.

But he had to go in, whether he wanted to or not...and he really didn’t want to.

“...isn’t you being here a conflict of interest?” Mike asked as his sister fiddled with the keys, looking for the shape he’d told her earlier matched the front door lock.

“Normally, yeah, it would be.” Tara shrugged, finding the right key and inserting it into the door. “But these aren’t normal circumstances, and Chief Memphis agreed to close the investigation into yours and Anders’ assault so long as corporate allowed an officer to be present for all shifts for the next three months.” She paused, halfway through twisting the lock. “As a precautionary measure.”

“Precautionary. Right.” Mike deadpanned.

“I just so happened to be the officer Memphis assigned to the night shift for tonight, and Fazbear Entertainment didn’t want to risk their ‘get out of jail free’ card by arguing.” Tara continued as she unlocked the door, and pulled it open. “What’s wrong, Mikey? Not looking forward to spending the night with your favorite sister?”

“That title is still up for grabs.” Mike grumbled as he adjusted his crutches, and limped through the open door. “And I’m more worried that you’re going to fall asleep on me. You work days, and this shift ends at 6am.”

“I’ll just drink all your coffee.” Tara laughed, waiting for her brother to cross the threshold before following. “You can’t drink all that caffeine, anyway, with the meds your on.”

“Ugh, don’t remind me...” Mike groaned. The next three months were going to absolutely  s u c k  without his usual pick-me-up...

Tara closed the door and locked it again, and moved to catch up with her brother, who had stopped beside one of the party tables. A bunch of papers had been strewn across it, with an assortment of somewhat scribbly crayon drawings on them. Someone had doodled a few presents and a handful of balloons, and even a few childish drawings of what looked like a security guard. 

“WELCOME BACK, MR. SCHMIDT!!”

The stage lights suddenly flashed on, and balloons fell from the rafters with the sound of a party horn. As innocent as the sound was, Mike made a strangled noise of surprise, and nearly jumped out of his crutches. If not for his sister’s quick reflexes, he probably would have fallen. There was a gasp from the stage, and Chica threw her hands up to her beak.

“Oh, no! We didn’t mean to scare you!” The animatronic apologized. Freddy quickly tossed away the party horn he’d been holding, and Bonnie sheepishly held a balloon up in front of his face. “We just wanted to give you a good ‘welcome back’ surprise!”

Tara made a mental note to give Reynolds five dollars, next time she saw him.

That case file was real after all.

“I told ye this be too much.” Foxy grumbled, waving away a loose balloon that was trying to cling to his ratty fur. Bonnie caught it with one hand, and batted it out over the tables. “The lad’s jumpier than Bonnie in summer birthday week - an’ that’s on a good day.” The rabbit in question’s ears sprang up and he opened his mouth, but then paused, and closed it again.

He couldn’t say Foxy was wrong...

“How about we all just...calm down, and have a seat?” Tara suggested. All eyes turned to her in surprise, as if they’d only just realized she was there. “I think we all have a lot to discuss, and Mikey needs to get off his feet whenever possible.” She helped her brother over to a chair near the stage, and the animatronics all sat down (as best they could) at the edge. Mike shifted to hold his crutches in front of him, almost like a shield, and Tara took a deep breath.

“I guess I’m going first, then.” She realized when nobody moved or spoke for several seconds. “Alright.” She squared her shoulders. “I’m Tara Gillsman. I’m Mike’s sister, and an officer of CVPD. I’m here in part to make sure no further incidents occur on these premises while the court case is wrapping up....and to officially talk to you all,” She nodded at the animatronics, whose faces were once more masks of surprise she didn’t know they could make. “About your existence....at least in a loose capacity.”

“So....you knew.” Mike flicked his eyes away from the animatronics for a few seconds to look at his sister. “About them.” Tara paused.

“I read the case file, yeah.” She nodded. Mike’s eyes narrowed.

“You knew.” He accused with a little too much emphasis. Immediately, he winced and raised a hand to his head, attempting to alleviate the exertional headache. Tara reached out to her brother, but he just waved off her hand. “When I had a mental breakdown in the hospital and sobbed all over you about haunted robots and nightmares and murder, you knew and you didn’t say anything?!”

“The case file was classified.” Tara impressed defensively. “It still is. I wasn’t cleared to talk about it with anyone who wasn’t already in the know-”

“I was in the know!” Mike shouted, shoving himself up to his feet with no crutches, to his own immediate detriment. He grit his teeth against the pain and twisted to face his sister. “Why couldn’t you talk about it with me?! Tara, I thought I was going crazy!” Chica slid off the stage as quietly as she could, and ran off in the direction of the kitchens. Mike didn’t even look in her direction.

“You weren’t.” His sister insisted. Freddy wondered where the weight behind the word had come from. “Mikey, I swear, I would have told you the second Chief Memphis gave me the green light.” Mike hissed in a breath through his teeth, and the animatronics on stage all leaned back a little. They remembered the last time their guard had lost his temper.

But before anything more could be said, there was a scraping sound across the floor, and Mike stopped short to look down at it. There, at his feet, was a sealed bottle of water from the kitchen supplies, pushed into reach with the end of a broom. On the other end of the broom was Chica, awkwardly kneeling on the floor in an attempt to look as non-threatening as she could. When Mike looked at her, she dropped the broom, and sat back on her heels.

“Sorry,” Chica apologized. “But the first aid handbook says that water helps get rid of headaches, and you look like you have a pretty bad one, so...” She trailed off, hesitant to get up and move, lest she startle their jumpy guard. Mike breathed out, and all of his rising anger seemed to deflate. He sank back into his chair, and then leaned down to pick up the water bottle. He cracked it open, and gave Chica a look that was...not quite wary, but thoughtful.

“Thanks...” He muttered, far more quietly than before. Chica carefully climbed to her feet, and shuffled over to join her friends at the stage. Tara waited while her brother to take a few sips of the water before sitting down in a chair of her own, and resting her arms on her knees.

“Let’s start from the top...”
