the babbit fnaf AUs masterpost is here

just abt broke my fingers typing all this bs but, this should answer at least most general questions abt any of my given aus and provides links to related doodles of said aus!

prepare yourselves, fellas, this is gonna be a long one.

AU Masterpost START

Afton virus AU:

This is the one where Reader is a mechanic working at the Plex who successfully made Sun/Moon into two animatronics, but unfortunately gets into a workplace accident that completely mangles their hands. The accident leaves them traumatized and with hands that are slow and shaky and painful to use even after months of physical therapy.

When they attempt to return to the Plex, management approaches them with a proposal: take a large sum of money, leave FazCo, and never speak a word of the accident to anyone. Reader has been struggling with feeling like their life, their ambitions, their dreams, were crushed alongside their hands, and realizing that FazCo just wants to sweep the entire incident under the rug and brush them aside as collateral is more than they can stand. They manage to convince FazCo to let them stay as head mechanic/mechanics supervisor; so long as they are allowed to continue to work there, they will not disclose what happened to them under FazCo’s working conditions.

Reader, swept up in their own grief, trauma, heartbreak, and outrage, dives down the rabbit hole of FazCo’s history of sweeping problems and tragedies under the rug. The more they learn, the more their anger festers and grows and they do little to try and curb their newfound violent, impulsive thoughts.

They ‘recruit’ the other animatronics of the Plex to be their aid by simply informing them of everything FazCo has done and hasn’t done that has harmed and destroyed the lives of parents and children who never deserved it, and then leaving the animatronics with that information to draw their own conclusions and to choose their own sides. Most of the animatronics sided with their long-time friend, with Freddy and DJ Music Man choosing to keep their hands clean but also deciding to stay quiet about what Reader, and the others, were doing.

Sun and Moon, who had already been in love with Reader for sometime before the accident, jumped willingly to Reader’s side as they went down an increasingly dark and bloody path.

They take out their spite and wrath on the members of FazCo that profit from their own corruption, their aim NOT TO KILL, but to maim beyond repair so they will have to live with the pain and unfairness in the same way the ones they hurt had to live what FazCo had, or hadn’t, done.

Eclipse Moves In AU:

The AU where Reader, post splitting Sun and Moon, is tasked with refurbishing and rehabilitating a long-neglected Eclipse, and chooses to bring Eclipse to the Daycare to socialize him and get him used to being around people again. Eclipse is head-over-heels for Reader and is very afraid of losing them for any reason, and also resents Sun and Moon for being, essentially, the beloved, popular successful versions of what he was SUPPOSED to be. This, of course, leads to a lot of jealous shenanigans and a lot of Eclipse attempting to steal Reader from Sun and Moon and vice versa.

Flipparoo AU:

The mirrored-AU to the Eclipse Moves In AU, in this one Sun and Moon were the ones locked away and forgotten for years on end before Reader stumbles upon them and takes them in. In this one, Eclipse is referred to as ‘Solar’ and is a playful, mischievous preschool-teacher like figure in the Daycare. He wants to be kind and supportive to Sun and Moon on their journey to recovery, but Sun and Moon openly hate. His. Guts.

In this AU, Sun and Moon are extremely possessive and impulsive in their actions and emotions. They care for Reader more than anything else and are violently paranoid of losing them, especially to Solar, and tend to be more forceful and harsh to Solar and, at times, by extension, Reader, than they should be. More than once, they drag Reader away from Solar, leaving prints on Reader’s arms from their grip. Reader, more than anything else, doesn’t want to hurt them while they’re trying to help them get better, and has little backbone in attempting to stop Sun and Moon when the two are being irrational and violent. Solar, similarly, knows that the last thing Reader wants is for him to give Sun and Moon more reason to distrust him and everyone who gets close to the two, and struggles with wanting to protect Reader from their outbursts and trying to be as reasonable as possible with two animatronics being entirely unreasonable.

Readerbot/Repairbot AU:

In this AU, Reader is a staffbot outfitted to be an independent, self-maintaining on-site repairman (that they don’t even have to pay!). Through some unlucky twist of fate, they become self aware but are unable to communicate it to anyone- and honestly, they have little desire to. They’re pretty sure they’re not supposed to be aware of their own existence and to have wants and wishes and likes of their own, but they’re in no hurry to get decommissioned.

Through another extremely unlucky twist of fate, they are put to work shortly before the Afton Virus gets ahold of the plex. They have a slightly distant but fond friendship with most of the animatronics there before the events of Security Breach, with most of them treating them like a child or estranged younger sibling. They only met Sun a handful of times, all in circumstance meetings as Readerbot passes through the daycare to fix structures or change lightbulbs. They always quite liked Sun, seeing as he was so unabashedly friendly even when they had only ever made eye contact with one another, but they didn’t meet Moon until things started going wrong during the nightshift.

Long story short, Readerbot does their best to stay out of Moon’s way, but, bored when there’s no children to track down, Moon makes a game of hunting them down and scrapping them to varying degrees. On one such occasion, Moon jabbed his thumb through one of Readerbot’s eyes and cracked their head open like an egg. Since then, Readerbot has mismatched eyes of slightly different colors.

When the virus is taken care of and wiped from the Plex entirely, it takes some of Moon’s memories of being under its influence with it. He’s curious to meet the new staffbot, but half expects it to be just like all the others- mindless, thoughtless, simple machines. Imagine his surprise when Readerbot is as sentient as he or Sun, and then imagine the even greater surprise when they’re actively avoiding him for… seemingly no reason??? It becomes a story about Moon and Reader learning to navigate their own confusing grief, paranoia, and trauma, but at least they’re not alone.

Merms AU:

Sun is a frilled shark/pacific nettle merm, Moon is a black dragonfish/octopus squid merm, and Eclipse is an orca/blanket squid merm! Reader either works in a lighthouse or is a marine biologist.

(Merms AU continued) Selkie Reader AU:

Reader is a selkie- a seal shapeshifter that can shed its seal skin into a physical coat to take the form of a human! For this AU, they either run into Sun and Moon as sailors/pirates after being washed far from home by a strong storm. Sun and Moon, thinking theyre a stranger drowning in the sea, try to save them but end up damaging their seal skin dragging them into the boat. Stuck halfway between their two shapes and unable to understand what language Sun and Moon are speaking, the three have an adventure trying to communicate who they are, what they are, and what they should do next.

OR they run into Merm-Sun and Merm-Moon, and the cultural differences make everyone go ???????

After Burn AU:

Oh man this one is such a journey to try to explain I’ll try to make this short but I can make a whole post to explain it if need be,

Takes place decades after the plex burns, in a vaguely postapocalyptic version of the world/city that exists in. Reader character wakes up in the decrepit remains of the Plex, stuck with no obvious way out and with a sizable head injury, and no memory of who they are or how they got there. Moon is one of the only animatronics still functioning and thus begins a long, angry game of cat and mouse between him and the reader. Strangely he never kills them, only makes them fall unconcious, but staying in the corpse of the plex and Moon’s repeated attacks are only making Reader’s injuries/symptoms worse, and when the two strike a truce, they have to figure a way out before one of them dies, and the other ends up trapped and alone forever.

Ghostie AU (aka the Witch Reader AU):

In this AU, Reader is a anxious (alleged) witch who was blinded by the people of their hometown (via being lashed across the face with a burning branch and held face down in the embers of a fire) and fled to the Cursed Dangerous Forest to hopefully avoid being punished again. Sun and Moon are spirits (a forest sprite and a woodland curse, respectively) who live in the Cursed Wood, most often either leading people in circles until they leave or making them lost for so long they either die of exposure or are attacked and eaten by any number of the wood’s natural residents.

Reader was accused of being a witch because they (unknowingly) have Spirit Sensitivity (they can feel, hear, speak to, and, previously, could see spirits of all kinds) and had been learning how to make medicine from plant life from the ghost of a long-dead herbalist.

Sun and Moon find Reader staying in an ancient abandoned cabin in their wood and shadow them, intent, at first, on either driving them from the wood or killing them altogether, but then they notice that Reader ISN’T acting the way most humans do in the forest- they’re careful, paying special attention to the plants they’ve begun to cultivate and collect. They leave the creatures living in the forest well alone, they only take what they need from the streams, their fires are made only for warmth or to cook or brew and kept very well contained, in fact, the most dangerous item they have on them at any given time is a pair of old, worn sheers they use to prune their garden and to harvest small amounts of the wild-grown plants in the area. Curious, they begin to creep into Reader’s life- shocked to find that they are blinded yet managing to survive despite it all, and shocked again to realize that Reader can tell they are there, feels them when they’re nearby and can hear them clear as day. The greatest shock, however, comes in realizing that Reader doesn’t know that they’re spirits- like they had with the ghost of the herbalist in their old village, they assume that Sun and Moon are humans, perhaps passing through the woods often to hunt or forage, similar to themselves.

Reader is anxious, overly jumpy, and fears being found by their old hometown friends and punished again. They suffer from a degree of trauma, sometimes wracked with fear and terror at even the small fire they keep in their new home. Sun and Moon grow attached to them, then fond, then wish they were living so they could be something… more. Even if you are able to hold their hands as they are now, how could you ever love them if you knew what they were?

Deja Vu AU:

In this AU, Reader was a handler and perhaps partner? To Sun and Moon before the whole Security Breach/Afton bs went down. In the middle of the whole mess, Reader dies whilst in the plex, bleeding out in one of the back halls after being stabbed by Vanny. Moon had passed by them as they were bleeding, but, completely lost in the virus, Moon only spares them a long stare before passing them by.

Reader goes on to haunt the plex as FazCo attempts damage control after regaining control over the animatronics. The virus is erased from existence, and to be extra safe, they wipe the animatronics’ memories as well. This AU mainly exists to be sad lmao, the main concept I have atm is Sun and Moon struggling with strange memories and thoughts and seeing a person who only seems to exist sometimes.

What Happens in the Dark AU (might also call it Sleepless with One Eye Open?? Idk yet):

Oh this is another acid trip to explain. Basically, take Reader from (it was, in reality, not fine) and smack them into actual canon Security Breach. Reader struggles to make sense of what’s going in the plex (leading up to the events that happen in Security Breach), struggles to make friends with her security guard coworker, Vanessa, and struggles to befriend any of the animatronics- but especially Moon, who seems to revel in getting them into uncomfortable or even painful situations, and Sun, who seems to resent them and refuses to take any of the olive branches they attempt to extend to him.

Then an incident happens, Reader falls from a catwalk in a potentially fatal “accident” and though they wake up feeling fine, they can’t recall what happened that night. Though they feel fine in the wake of the incident, the entire plex is on edge- such a fall can easily kill a human, and it’s known that Vanessa, Moon, and Monty were in the vicinity when it happened- all of whom have been known to make threats against or voiced severe dislike for Reader. No one is willing to admit to anything, and Reader can’t remember anything but waking up with Vanessa in the employee’s first aid room- and they get horrifically painful, splitting headaches when they try to think about it.

Moon, in the wake of the accident, begins to (visibly) lurk around Reader more often, keeping a constant eye on them and becoming, in some small way, their ally. Reader is thrown into the middle of a conflict they don’t understand or even realized was happening when a child is trapped within the plex after closing, and fights to hold onto their own sense of reality and humanity all the while.

In the end, it comes down to them, Moon, Freddy and Gregory, and Vanessa- and whether the reader is willing to trust, and willing to forgive

ALL RIGHT SORRY FOR THE LENGTHY SYNPOSIS’ IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN STORY IDEAS WORTH SHIT SJFHSJDFSHF
