CALL OF THE SHADOW [Freedom AU Book Eight]{FNAF/UT}

!Disclaimers!

~Disclaimers~

I want to start off by saying, there will be trigger warnings on some of the chapters to please read at your own discretion. This story will be a bit darker than what I usually write, so please heed any warnings I include.

1-In this AU, the four Toy 'Animatronics/Anthros'--T. Fred, Bon, Mangle and Chica--are portrayed as siblings. If you ship any of the 'toys' with each other, I don't at all mind. You do you, you're entitled to your opinion if it's what you like. But, if you read this as any of the Toys being romantic with each other, then please, read something else. There is Nothing Romantic between any of the four toys in this AU. I just want to write my platonic 'honorary brothers and sisters' trope in peace. You're not being forced to read it if you don't like it, a'ight?

2-This is not really a stand alone. But, I'll understand if you don't want to read the 6/7 books before it. Read this however you want to read it. Please note, all the 'animatronic' characters, are not animatronics. They're living, organic beings called 'anthros'. Just keep that in mind, I'll say more about this in a moment. 

3-The cover art of this story belongs to (deactivated acc.). on DA, and was edited by me. If any other artwork I use isn't mine, it will be credited at the top of the appropriate chapter. Otherwise, any other art used belongs to me.

4-The majority of characters I will be using in the story you are about to read, I do not own. I am using characters created and owned by Scott Cawthon and/or Toby Fox. I do, however, include my own Original Characters in this work, such as; Spring Shine, Dale Jenson, Sophie Grant, the Fox Twins, some story-specific OCs, and a few minor characters created for plot. Of the five I have explicitly mentioned, I ask you not use them as your own, or in your own works--even if I am credited.

5-Any of the opinions I use in the story you are about to read, (i.e. character genders, headcanons, ships, etc.), are my own. I am well aware of when my opinion clashes with what is cannon in the universes of FNAF and Undertale. This AU is not my interpretation of the stories of FNAF and Undertale. That is why my AU it just that. An AU. If you do not agree, please don't rant in the discussion of the work. You aren't being forced to read this! :)

6-In the story you are about to read, I may be using Undertale characters in the plot or as a main focus in the story. If you are a die-hard Undertale fan, and did not like how I wrote/portrayed these characters, I apologize. Please refer to the point before this, and read something else. I'm not as die-hard as you may be. 

7-If you are reading this story on its own, without having read any 'Freedom AU' installments,(especially if they come before this story), then understand first and foremost that all FNAF characters--unless otherwise stated--are not animatronics. They have no connection to the dead children. They are anthros. 

8-Any ships I use in any of my Freedom AU stories, aren't normally the main focus of these works. Yes, I may give them attention, but just as character building. My works aren't romances, unless otherwise stated in the title of the story you are about to read. I may not tag all ships used in this AU when I tag my works, but that doesn't mean the ship doesn't still exist in the Universe, or won't be briefly mentioned at some point in the story. Please see point #5 if you disagree with any of the ships used.

Now, please enjoy 'CALL OF THE SHADOW'!
