Michael Afton:Accomplice/Killer Mike au

So after looking at these three fanarts on the subject. I've come up with a FNAF au where Mike is William's accomplice.

Fanart 1. Fanart 2. Fanart 3

It starts after the Bite of 83. William sees potential in Mike.

Instead of letting Mike be arrested, William saves Mike and pins the blame on Bonnie bully(Jeremy)

William pulls what he did with Susie.

"He's not really dead, son. Help me and we can put him back together." Mike at first is hesitant. But he just wants to make it right and bring his brother back.

It starts out with William doing the killings and Michael cleaning up the evidence. The police never begin to suspect a thing. Mike is the suspicious one due to his connection to the Bite of 83, but because of lack of evidence, no one ever charges either father or son.

Eventually, Mike has to lure and kill some kids to prove to William how committed he really is. William helps Mike by making a Springlock Foxy costume to help blend in to Pirate's Cove. Mike performs as his hero and his symbolic fall of grace. After every Pirate's Cove performance, Mike lures them to the safe room.

It starts by luring them so William can kill them. But one day, Mike is locked in there with the kids.

"Oh it's far too late to back out now, help me or I swear I will tell the police what you did to your brother and I will pin all those little disappearances on you."

Mike kills his first victim. He uses Foxy's hook for a weapon and he does the deed. 5 more dead kids.

"You've done it. Well done, Mikey! I'm proud of you, son! We're gonna do great things together"

All the remorse and regret he's felt is washed away by finally making his father proud. The one thing he's wanted all his life is finally his and together they will bring Evan and Elizabeth back and put their family back together.

Throughout the years they would kill together. Not only kill together, but make Fazbear Entertainment and Afton Robotics bigger and better than before.

There is one setback however. Jeremy has returned. He took the night guard position and because of the Puppet's visions, he knows too much. So Mike hacks Mangle and causes the Bite of 87. "...I'm sorry Jeremy. I had to. I did it for my family!"

Because of William and Mike openly working together, Elizabeth knows it's Mike and Circus Baby even helps Mike make a makeshift Springlock version of Funtime Foxy so he can slip in and out to capture children.

Although Mike loves Funtime Foxy, he just can't help but continue to use Classic Foxy to lure the kids at the old Pizzeria. Because a true classic never goes out of style!

Mike is officially the new head of security. Everyone sees this as a "nepo hire" but Mike is just so charming and manipulative that FE eats out of his hand. He can easily ensure that the kids go missing without a trace. When security officers get too close to the truth, then Mike wears his old Foxy mask, gets the hook and goes through the vents and kills them.

"Save them"

"You can't"

Now who could be the protagonist now that Mike is William's right hand?

Sammy Emily. In this au Henry is not a deadbeat dad to his son. They grieve together over Charlie and when Sammy is grown up, Sammy fills Mike's role as the security guard.

Charlie even helps Sammy. When Sammy gets jumpscared by The Puppet, all he hears is "Sammy, it's me. Charlie"

One day Mike and William return to the decaying and dilapidated Freddy Fazbear's Pizza to get more remnant.

Sammy, Charlie and the MCI work together and corner William and Mike.

William gets springlocked via the rain and Sammy and Charlie work together to cause Mike's springlock.

Sammy in Fazbear Frights is being hunted by Springtrap and Foxtrap

In the attempt to free Elizabeth and the funtimes, Sammy is scooped.

After the fire. Scraptrap, Foxscrap and Circus Baby come together. Lefty tries to stop them, but because of the suit and calls she can't stop herself from hurting Sammy.

Henry's speech happens. The fire happens. But Sammy survives.

Sammy has a daughter named Vanessa.

As Vanessa works for Fazbear and the VR game. She sees a bunny....and a Fox.

One day a boy named Gregory plays and sees the Fox. To Michael, Gregory is Evan reborn.

They found their new Elizabeth while getting revenge on Sammy & Henry and Michael found Evan Reborn. The Afton Family is put back together.

Mike would orchestrate a Glamrock Foxy to be built. William becomes Burntrap and Vanessa is Vanny while Gregory is Dr Rabbit.

However, a ghost from Mike's past survived. Jeremy returns. as a VR tester and as the Pizzaplex technician.

Instead of "What makes you so special" it's "Why are you STILL ALIVE?"

Cassie enters the picture. In this case, she's not looking for Gregory. She's looking for her father.

Jeremy and Cassie will do whatever it takes to stop the Aftons, even if Jeremy has to become one with the remains of Glamrock Bonnie.

Was looking through the posts of “what stuff have I shared and haven’t I shared to tumblr since I got back into the swing of things” and I noticed I never shared The Springlock Paradox drawings @the-ooftroop drew couple years ago before they became too big to fail. Honestly I am shocked I never showed these off sooner as looking at them now has my shriveled brain producing dopamine. :V

[nightmare-foundation]

Tbh, in my miketrap au, Henry fucking SUCKS

Hes not intentionally bad, but Henry was... very neglectful of Michael after he took him in when William disappeared

Henry just kinda,, drowned in his sorrows and self pity, and didn't even know Michael had a job at the sister location, and didn't even know Michael was missing until a whole WEEK later

If Henry had known or noticed, Michael could've been saved from that death trap Baby shoved him into on night 4

Michael is very, VERY aware of this, too, and isn't happy that Henry hadn't taken it upon himself to actually look harder

Michael holds a LOT of resentment towards Henry because of this. He's not happy at ALL when Henry drags him inside of the pizzeria in fnaf 6 and tries talking to him.

In this au, Henry didn't want to die inside the pizzeria, but elsewhere.

Michael didn't give him much of a choice when Michael was escaping.

[vomitpukey]

Im here for the um here about the staf? Im interested it sounds interesting

Foaming at the mouth rn prepare thyself for a long post.

Story-Time at Freddy's is a game created by @directdogman. (I'd also highly recommend their newer way more polished game Dialtown! Sorry, Hound, for the ping) It's a purely text-based visual novel that follows newly hired Freddy's nightguard, Jeff.

It's p short, took me about 40-ish minutes to beat, you can play it here (see link below) if you'd like! Spoilers below the cut (warning im prolly mixing up the timing of certain events i need to replay this game lmao).

Jeff goes to this dingy ass old crusty pizza joint to get a job, is immediately told by the local crazy person and former freddys employee Fritz that the place is extra-haunted. Bill Afton, the owner of the place, stops him from talking, so Fritz runs out of the resturant lol. You never see Fritz after this, I assume he died on the trek back to wherever the hell he lives at lmao.

After introducing himself to Bill and getting a job, Jeff walks over to the stage where he meets Scott. Scott tries his hardest to 'subtly' explain that the robots are haunted and there are bodies inside them to Jeff without actually stating it. He is hit with a blow dart for this crime against freddys.

Jeff then conveniently runs back into Bill who pulls dog food out of his pocket (fucking vile) and asks Jeff to please go feed his son Michael. Poor Jeff. Michael is locked behind a fake wall, smells like death, is rotting, and eats the food like a rabid animal. It's actually very well done. My description does not do this disturbing ass part any justice.

Jeff gets the fuck outta there rq, Bill is all like "ok see you tomorrow enjoy the nightshift", and Jeff comes back at the time of his shift. Spooky shit happens bc of fnaf, you can die at this part if you pick the wrong choices lmao.

Jeff starts walking around and stumbles upon the missing children's incident poster, to which he decides this must mean the kids were made into pizza. God, I love Jeff's dumbass.

He comes across Bill later, he's in a golden freddy suit and has a totally not bodybag with him. So normal. Yep. Bill quickly leaves lmao.

Again, I really need to replay this shit bc I know there was a funny reason for the place burning down, but it burns tf down. Jeff and Bill exit the place and Jeff is like "oh shit what do we do now" and Bill is like "Jeff don't you understand this is just the beginning we can rebuild freddys and start everything over and-" and then Michael comes out from the rubble and is like "Father." And Bill gets into his car at lightspeed and zooms away at mache speeds lmao.

The game ends with Michael saying he'll find his father again and Jeff being out of a job. I think. I kinda forgor the exact details of the ending💀💀💀

AU-gust day 2: Immortals

-This was your suit, Father. It should have been your fate.

-Oh, and I imagine you would have rather been gutted like a fish and used as a sock puppet?

-I was trying to set them free

-Ah, yes. Because waving an axe around like a lunatic in front of a terrified child is the best way to earn their trust

-Don't act like this wasn't your doing. I suppose your plan went better then?

-Elizabeth was not as aware as I thought she would be. If she had been, I am certain she would have tried to make the others spare me.

-And then what?

-I would have gotten her out, put her back together.

-What? Father, why are you grinning like that?

-Tell me the irony isn't lost on you Michael. The son atoning for his father's sin, who should have been the hero of this story, tossed to the scrap heap. And, the man behind the slaughter as nothing but a night guard with an odd complexion. Don't you think it should have been the other way around? Myself, a monster trapped in my own creation, and you, losing your heart, lungs and everything else in order to redeem yourself. Not that it matters, of course. Ha ha, ah, the two of us, two immortals trapped in an eternal struggle. You'll never catch me Michael. You'll never kill me.

----------------------------------------

Because I am indecisive, I figured I'd alternate between two different art challenge's each day. AU-gust is going to be my chance to show off AUs that I haven't much drawn for. Should this have probably been for the Role Reversal prompt? Maybe, but I'm counting it as Immortals anyway :P

Wasn't totally sure what to do to make Miketrap different from Springtrap other then the eyes, but he's got the opposite ear torn to show it's reversed from how it should be. And a big ol' gash down his torso. Purple Vincent is very important to me. IDK why but he is. Long ponytail and grey streaked hair that defies corpse logic because I said so :3

Edit: Made the lines around Miketrap's pupils glow so they're easier to see with the dark blue against black

[reaper-bloodmoon]

[Not even three years later...]

[kaleis-kingdom]

Blease drop the fics op. Both so we can read them and so we know which ones to get.

A Performance Demanded has Funtime Foxy Mike. It's short but is set right before Pizza Sim, with Henry needing someone to handle the animatronics.

A Preformance Demanded of Me is another Funtime Mike. It's a roleswap between Elizabeth and Michael.

FNAF SWAP: Origins of the Marionette has Puppet Michael. Haven't read it yet though.

Real Boy Series currently has 2 fics of Puppet Mike.

Puppet!Mike AU is, pretty obviously, another series full of Puppet Mike.

Michael as Ballora: Expansion Pack is a series where Michael is Ballora.

I'm Still Here is a 4 chapter series of deathswaps for Michael.

The next ones are just a bunch of MikeTrap (Michael as Springtrap) fics.

Revenge can wait (a little longer)

Homunculus

Grim Reaper's Chess Game

Nothing Unusual Here (aka my obligatory McDonald’s Scene)

(Spring)Lock and Key

Arsons, Recurrences, and Resurrections: A Step-By-Step Guide to Parenting your Traumatized Nephew

That's everything I have currently. I believe I might have a couple more Funtime Mike and Circus Baby Mike fics? Can't find them rn though.

I'm not sure if cyborgs count? Same with MikeTrap but Michael's soul isn't actively in Springtrap at the time? Like his soul is still attached, but he can be seen separately if he wants.

Also planning on a MikeDrop (Michael as Sun/Moon) and Funtime Foxy Mike fic. No promises, motivation sucks.

guys does anyone have any recommendations for fanfiction where michael is an animatronic. I am trying to collect them all.

[operationfazbear]

You know what would be a funny but also somewhat cursed concept for a fnaf au? A fnaf au where all of the most infamous, strangest theories are canon.

So like, in this hypothetical au, Phone Guy and Purple Guy are the same character, Miketrap is canon, and all Foxy wants to do is hug you, even though it kills you when he tries. We'll even throw Sparky the dog in there for shits and giggles.

I can't think of any of the others, but you get the point

I have no clue how any of it would actually work, but it would probably be hilarious.

[deltaheartsstuff]

debunk au concept stuff

Mikevictim with added Miketrap plus the bullies being the missing kids with the added fact when Susie was first revealed some people thought she could've been Cassidy. Her name is Christy her to not confuse with my other au.

the mother of Christy is also gonna be the puppet

[five-nights-of-protagonists]

Okay, I'm gonna write a short one-shot MikeTrap fic for Ao3 and I'll post it here when it's done

[tacigent]

A FNaF AU idea that I need to get off my chest + a "timeline" with ages and years

There's a lot of role-swapping going on. Michael swaps with Elizabeth, Norman swaps with Sammy who is Charlie's twin brother from the books. Then Michael swaps again, but with William which means that I have included Miketrap because I always found that theory very interesting and cool despite its flaws. Mrs. Afton swaps with Elizabeth in that she's the main antagonist in Sister Location.

Everyone will possess something, excluding William and Henry. Mrs. Afton is Ballora, Michael is Springtrap, Elizabeth is Foxy, Norman is Fredbear, and Charlie is the Puppet of course. Sammy could end up being Shadow Freddy. I promise, everything will make sense once I explain what happens.

Few things I feel like I should mention:

This AU only follows FNaF 1-6, meaning Special Delivery, Help Wanted, and Security Breach DON'T exist here. UCN might be included because I like the idea of a fabricated hell for William to continuously suffer in.

The Toys' facial recognition and criminal data-base aren't a thing at all here. I feel that goes too far, considering the technological limitations.

None of the Funtimes are programmed to kill at all. Like what I mentioned, it feels way too out of line given the era and the limitations they would have back then. Also, I just had this idea to have CBPW be William's attempt branching out using animatronics of his very own design without Henry in the picture.

The Nightmares aren't real in any way whatsoever, not even through illusion discs, hence why they are called Nightmares.

The Fredbear plush isn't a listening device or a walkie-talkie for William to spy on his son with, it's just a toy.

Golden Freddy isn't just a re-colored Freddy. He's a broken and abandoned Fredbear, the very same one that committed the Bite.

Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental is NOT a bunker hidden underground. It's a fully-fledged, circus-themed attraction that opened after Circus Baby's Pizza World closed due to supposed gas leaks. To add onto that, it's also William's last ditch attempt to create a successful restaurant using his own animatronic designs and not Henry's.

Regarding the characters, William is a very mediocre dad here. He's certainly not the best, but he does try before it all goes downhill. Most of the MCI and DCI are teenagers aside from a select few. I'll try to give everybody a sort of importance to the story no matter how minor it might be. Admittedly, though, the Bite Victim here doesn't have much to do until the very end.

I know Fritz possesses Foxy in canon and, honestly, it doesn't feel right replacing him like this, so I have three ideas about what to do with him. He either dies in 1993 in the FNaF 1 location and possesses the Classic version of Foxy (but that seems lame and a bit convenient when I think about it), OR he inhabits Foxy alongside Elizabeth somehow. I guess he could also just not be a victim of William at all here, although that seems quite boring. I'm not sure how I'd be able to pull any of those ideas off. I don't know if I even want to, but I'll figure it out eventually.

Elizabeth is my favorite Afton and Foxy is my favorite animatronic, so I decided to combine them. If anyone sees this at all, I wouldn't mind criticism because I need this AU to make sense at least.

Now, we start in 1980.

Michael is 13. Elizabeth, Charlie, and Sammy are 11. Norman is 5.

Fredbear's Family Diner and Circus Baby's Pizza World exist simultaneously. Funtime Chica is also here as a part of Baby's band.

The same thing happens where Elizabeth goes to see Circus Baby, but instead of getting snatched, Michael comes to be an ass and tries to steal her ice cream. They have a back-and-forth fight until Baby starts acting out due to being so new. Michael is accidentally pulled into her stomach hatch with the ice cream, then ends up with severe head trauma. This leaves him a coma (for, specifically, 5 years). However, Elizabeth at her young age thinks Michael is dead.

After that incident, William closes the restaurant and takes his son to the hospital. At the level of decent father, he does care about his kids here, except he will forever be reminded that one of his own robots nearly killed Michael. This further drives home the fact that Henry's work will always be better than his. Meanwhile, Elizabeth feels endlessly guilty for the situation her big bro is in now. She blames herself for Michael's comatose state, and it all spirals from there.

Moving onto 1983 (Specifically, May 13).

Michael is 16. Elizabeth, Charlie, and Sammy are 14. Norman is 8.

Although Circus Baby's is closed, Fredbear's continues on for 3 years up until the day of the Bite. The very first Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has also been opened some time after Circus Baby's closing.

Michael's absence has a great effect on Elizabeth. He might have been a bully to Norman, but he's still her brother and she loves him. His absence leaves a giant hole in her life where he used to be, since he's so much easier to relate to than Norman is. She kind of tries to emulate him in her own way. She uses the same Foxy mask and becomes a bit of a delinquent like he was.

Here's the thing, she doesn't target Norman (not a lot of the time, anyway). She targets the Emily twins, Charlie and Sammy. Mostly Sammy, though.

It kind of follows the mini games of FNaF 4. Counting down the days until their birthday party.

Elizabeth uses the mask to scare Sammy, either at his house when she comes over or at the restaurant while their fathers are at work. She locks him in the parts & service room. Headless Foxy is replaced by a stuffed bunny named Theodore, who is Charlie's toy from the books. Charlie is Sammy's version of 'Psychic Friend Fredbear' in that she guides and comforts him throughout the week.

Charlie stands up for herself and her brother whenever Elizabeth tries something, yet she doesn't go as far as telling Henry about the bullying because they were best friends. She's sympathetic, almost to a fault.

Sammy is the opposite. He can't help but hate Elizabeth, even when he knows why she's the way she is. He feels betrayed since they all used to be close, but he's also sensitive and a bit of a pushover, so he receives the brunt of the bullying.

The birthday comes around and Sammy gets chomped by Fredbear, thanks to Elizabeth. Charlie is rightfully mad, but she has very conflicting feelings about their friendship now. Henry is distraught, but I feel like he'd be a little more willing to understand. Elizabeth has to live with Michael's condition and Sammy's death on her shoulders.

Fast forward to 1985.

Michael is 18. Elizabeth and Charlie are 16. Norman is 10.

After the Bite, Fredbear's closes. William and Henry now have to manage the newest location they have opened, which is Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. This restaurant houses the unwithered animatronics.

This is also the year that Michael wakes up from his coma. Only problem is, neither Elizabeth nor Norman will be there to witness it.

Elizabeth and Charlie's relationship has deteriorated a lot. Charlie struggles to forgive Elizabeth for what happened to Sammy because while she still believes there's good in her, she also thinks she probably shouldn't. Meanwhile, Elizabeth is too emotionally constipated to properly approach Charlie.

Elizabeth watches the three kids lock her out in the rain. A drunken William pulls up, kills her in the alleyway, then leaves her there. The Puppet comes out looking for her and breaks down, Charlie possesses it.

One of the reasons William kills Charlie in the first place is to basically get back at Henry.

Since Mrs. Afton exists here as an actual character, I have this idea where Henry and Mrs. Afton have this plan to get the kids away from William because they know something is wrong with him; they just aren't sure what it is. William hears of this eventually. An argument breaks out between them. It's emotional and tense and volatile, so much so that an overly rash shove from William cracks her skull against the furniture.

After the fight, William buries Mrs. Afton's body in the woods. Just a strange mound of dirt to those who don't know who's in it. Ballora starts acting a little too alive later on. Ballora, the one animatronic who had been in the room with them when his wife died.

However, Charlie's death is one that William sort of regrets in a way. He had gotten drunk after finding out about Henry and Mrs. Afton, but Charlie was in the wrong place at the wrong time. William acts on his anger towards the conspiracy against him and his long festering jealousy of Henry, taking Charlie's life in the process. A 'spur of the moment' kind of thing.

That marks the start of William's downfall and descent into these destructive habits that tear the whole family apart as time goes by. William begins lashing out, and it doesn't matter who's around to see it because he will go after them. His children suffer under his watch. At worst, he's violent. At best, he's neglectful.

Elizabeth and Henry don't find out that Charlie's dead until the next day.

Some time after Charlie, William targets other children to get rid of. The murders of the MCI take place over a span of weeks or months. First is Susie, followed by Gabriel, then Jeremy, and ending with Cassidy.

During Jeremy's turn, William invites Elizabeth along for the process in hopes that she will help him with it. Elizabeth disagrees and tries to stop him from harming Jeremy. In the end, William goes too far out of control. He ends up killing both Jeremy and Elizabeth. In a bit of a panic, William hides them in Bonnie and Foxy respectively.

Next up is Norman.

William becomes more unstable, drunk, and shaken up after Elizabeth's death. He's basically a ticking time bomb. Nobody is safe, everyone is at risk around him.

He's working late one night at the restaurant with Norman since he can't leave him home alone. He continues drinking there too when he's supposed to work. Norman keeps bothering him because literally both of his siblings are gone and he doesn't know what's happening. Norman continuously asks him these questions, but William reacts too explosively and kills Norman in a drunken rage.

I don't know yet whether Norman should possess the Fredbear plush or the animatronic, so that will be undecided until I figure it out.

In my mind, William's relationship with his kids is quite complicated. Michael's near death experience caused by one of his own machines makes William real possessive/protective of them. But even if he cares for his children, he doesn't exactly understand them. They clash until William kills them, too. However, I'm not sure how to make that last point exist in a way that's sensible and believable.

After the kids are reported missing and an investigation starts, Henry closes the restaurant.

By the year of 1987.

Both families are in shambles. Henry lost both of his children, and his wife divorced him after Charlie's death. William has to deal with a confused but awake Michael, and his wife died by his own hand.

To account for Henry's absence throughout the games, I'd say he was either convicted for the MCI wherein William would frame him for it, or he simply went off the radar until Pizza Sim. William also becomes quite recluse, only active for work because he's managing both CBEAR and FFP #2 all on his own now while he plans his next move.

This basically follows the same format as the game.

Like the mini-game suggests, William returns to murder another set of 5 victims. I myself believe that the Toy animatronics could probably be possessed one way or another, so these 5 victims will be Charlie's friends from the novels. John, Carlton, Lamar, Jessica, and Marla.

Like the book, this set of victims are just a bunch of teenagers who snuck into the pizzeria to explore and William happened to be there.

The night guard, Jeremy Fitzgerald, is on shift when the teens break in. They're caught by him and Jeremy calls William to inform him of the intrusion. Oddly enough, instead of getting the police, William says he will handle the situation himself. He sends Jeremy off, disables the cameras, puts on the yellow suit, and murders the group of teens.

Jeremy comes back on Night 6 after the murders and as Phone Guy says, none of them are acting right. He's moved to the day shift, but he's bitten during a birthday party by a possessed Mangle.

Alongside more disappearing kids in another Freddy's establishment, Mangle causing the Bite is the final cherry on top. The place closes for good.

The Toys and the Withereds are kept in a storage place or a warehouse in case Fazbear Ent. would want to reuse parts from them. However, William is still the owner of FE. He decides to have the Withereds remade into the FNaF 1 gang and the Toys fully scrapped. The Puppet is moved to the FNaF 1 location later on, but Elizabeth (and maybe Fritz, too) escapes to find her father.

Further on into 1993.

This is the FNaF 1 gang and the night guard is Mike Schmidt. Mike is his own character. Just a normal guy who unknowingly signed up for this nightmare of a job.

The "Follow Me" mini-game still takes place, but there is a different purple guy this time.

After 5 full years of comatose, Michael is finally awake.

The guy is lost and has a lot of catching-up to do, even more so when it hits him that his siblings and his mother both aren't around at all anymore. Whenever, he tries asking William about it, all he gets is a vague, half-hearted dismissal. He gets more and more suspicious until William asks him to go destroy a couple of animatronics at a abandoned restaurant that closed down just recently.

It's similar to SL wherein William tells him to go somewhere to do something. While Michael is alone in the back room, the souls come after him. He puts on the Spring Bonnie suit in a panic and the springlocks go off. It's the same situation as SL where they thought Michael was William and he suffered for it.

Due to the springlock incident, William doesn't hear from Michael, but he does discover that the animatronics have been dismantled either way. Given that he's still the main guy in charge of FE, he eventually finds out about a springlock suit locked in the backroom. He doesn't really know it's Michael until it's relocated to Fazbear's Fright.

Michael goes through what William did in canon. Being locked in the back room for years until he's found and placed in Fazbear's Fright as an attraction.

Later on in 1998.

This year is when SL would take place in my AU since I don't think there's a set year in the canon timeline.

A random night guard will take Michael's place here, although I'm tempted to have them be Vanessa. They will be the one the Funtimes use to escape the place.

It follows the flow of the game. They go to this place, perform their tasks, get scared by the robots sometimes while weird things happen, then they leave. However, there are some specific parts of the game that I would change because of the fact that it's not Elizabeth who is orchestrating the whole thing. It's her mother, Mrs. Afton.

The "sentience" of the animatronics already comes from the victims of '87. When William injects them with this other batch of Remnant he got from the Classics, it combines the MCI with the DCI. It gives them these personalities made up of two sets of teens/kids. Also, Funtime Freddy and Bon-Bon are supposed to be separate entities also possessed by two different people.

Mrs. Afton communicates with the other souls in the Funtimes and forms a plan to escape the facility. That means Circus Baby isn't exactly the big mastermind behind the whole plan to get out, she only plays a part in it as they all do.

In Night 4, Ballora still gets the scooper and Circus Baby talks to the guard. However, Baby will have a different personality, given that she's possessed by two victims now instead of Elizabeth. As in, two distinct individuals are speaking just with the same voice.

In Night 5, it's mostly the same. However, after the guard 'fixes' Circus Baby and sends her to the scooping room, their shift ends right there.

The ending will be a little different here. So far, I have two ideas as to what I'd like it to be. Instead of getting scooped, it has the night guard, whoever they might be, being threatened by the Funtimes into letting them leave the facility as Ennard. Or, the Funtimes just follow them out all sneaky and leave the guard alone. Either way, they get out and go find William.

Some time in 2023.

Michael has been transferred to Fazbear's Fright as an attraction after he was found. With him, is yet another random night guard. This one might be Tape Girl.

The fact that Michael is Springtrap here changes a few things. Michael is more confused in the way he will act as Springtrap. Most of his life has been loneliness aside from the company of William. He was isolated from his siblings, friends, basically everybody for years. When he's finally let out, he dies in a springlock suit and is left for dead.

In a gameplay setting, Springtrap appears uncertain and scared when he shows up in the cameras. I'd say he's a little harder to lure with the Balloon Boy voice lines. He's more obvious in the cameras, in contrast to William's hiding and sneaking.

He's desperate to find help, and the only way he thinks he can get it is through the guard. He doesn't know what happened to his family, where they are, or if they're even alive. He's worried since he's missed out on so much.

Outside of the gameplay perspective, Michael looks for information behind the scenes. There would most likely be some references throughout the attraction to past events that he wasn't present for. Maybe some of the employees talk about rumors regarding Freddy's bad history. Perhaps there is news about the Bites or records of the missing kids, so he eventually gets his hands on those.

William finds the location and comes in to burn the place down. His reasoning for doing so is to sort of erase the history of the past Freddy's locations. Everything in the attraction is directly related to his wrongdoings, so he needs to destroy it immediately. Michael confronts him about everything he knows, but William starts the fire before he can do anything. Michael escapes with half an arm, and he roams wherever to find his father.

As for what occurs in FNaF 6,

Henry takes the brave volunteer's place in the fake restaurant. He manages the pizzera, does the salvaging, and then burns the place down when everything comes together.

As shown in the game, Henry will have to slowly build this pizzeria from the ground up until he finally has everybody right where he needs them to be.

When it comes to the salvaging, there will be obvious changes. Like instead of Scrap Baby, he's faced with a very old and very withered Foxy from way back when the first ever Freddy Fazbear's opened. Scraptrap is basically Springtrap but doubly worse for wear and missing half an arm. Molten Freddy is now just Ennard with Mrs. Afton in the driver's seat. Lefty is more or less the same since I like his design.

The completion of tasks later in the night is also going to be altered a little. With Henry as the protagonist here, no one really has the motive to attack him unless they don't know that it's him.

Until William comes along.

The news of an unauthorized Freddy's establishment drags him out of the hermit life he's been living for the past few decades. He goes to check out the place and falls right into Henry's trap. Now, everyone from the victims to the murderer himself is in position for Henry to end it all, setting the restaurant ablaze and burning it to the ground. The souls are set free and William is sent to hell.

Anyways.

That concludes my AU for now. I think this was just excessive info-dumping, but I was way too eager to get this idea out of my head. If anyone sees this, let me know your thoughts because I'd really like criticism and more ideas.

It's kinda weird, but I always had the theory that Springtrap was actually Michael instead of William in the Springtrap and Delilah comic. Didn't have any kids? Yet desperately wanted one of his own? Killed the kids so they'd be with him forever but never actually connected with them as we've seen? I know that was just William in the AU but that felt like it fit Michael more. I thought it was a miketrap AU (the really old theory that Mike was mistakened for William by the missing kids when we went to go free them and was springlocked instead) and that the agony attached to the Springtrap suit messed with Mike's memories so he saw the murders through the suit's perspective and thought that he killed them when he didn't. I thought that twist would've been cool but I think one of my flaws is how deep my own au's theories can deter from reality 😭

I haven't thought about springtrap and Delilah in years.... thank you for reminding me of that amazing comic!

It truly is an amazing comic, I believe many people feel nostalgic when reading it nowadays asdksajda

I'm in my fnaf phase again and I'm fixating on miketrap

I'm sure people don't care or flat out hate the old theory. But I turned it into an au With A Twist

Long story short William still got springtrapped, AND Michael still went to the sister location place, BUT he died in that old springlock suit instead of getting scooped

Said springlock suit was actually an older prototype of spring bonnie, one that was much more dangerous and far less kid friendly. Basically he got shoved away and his death got covered up, later got picked up by the ppl who made fazbears fright, and gets stuck with William and Henry is the night guard. Michael's not happy.

Michael is completely blind as he lacks any eyes (his actual eyes decayed a LONG time ago and he has no animatronic eyes), his ears are intact, he has a purple vest and bowtie, and his jaw is deformed just enough so he looks like he's frowning. And his eyelids droop a lot to give him a 'sad' expression. He's bigger than William due to being in a prototype suit, and is... very unintentionally terrifying. After fazbears fright burns down, he's completely gray and covered in ash (like one of those realistic springtrap models I've seen on YouTube). Henry takes him in, of course.

Michael has issues and has awful anger issues and a deep burning hatred for William. :)

Edit: Michael's suit looks a bit like this model

I've realized STaF has literally no posts about it.

I'm hyperfixated on something with zero fandom. Fml.

This fandom is so non-existent I could just claim I made the whole thing up myself! But I won't.

I find Jeff STaF to be a way more relatable protagonist than Jack DSaF to be completely honest.

I also like that, aside from regular FNaF possession shenanigans, that everyone is just.. normal. Workers here can be weird as fuck, yeah, just take one look at Bill's murderous ass, but unlike DSaF they're all 100% bona-fide humans.

'Cept Michael. That man is dead as fuck.
