A/N: Hey guys! Welcome to the end of part 1! By part 1, I mean the end of the video-games chapter 1! I'm sorta basing this story loosely on the video game (if you haven't noticed yet), but with more feels and getting to know the characters (also fluff). I plan on having 6-7 parts in total for the story, but anythings possible~!
You will know when I reach the end of a part if there is an authors note for the next chapter. The authors note will pretty much be explaining any questions that you guys have had that I can answer. At least that's what I plan on doing in the future...
I also will be posting the Authors note on the same day that I post the last chapter of each part. That way you guys can still get your reading in, because like I have said many times, as a reader, I HATE Authors notes! Especially when the authors do authors notes every other chapter!
Anyhow, on to the next half of this Authors note!
Just in case if anybody has been confused with the order of events for the story, I have decided to create a timeline so you can all have a visual representation of the stories events! I may end up creating another one since I do plan on introducing more events (and characters), so I guess we could maybe call this Timeline Part 1 in the future? I have no idea. Only time will tell!
Oh boy though, this story got plot plot plot! I was expecting that I would be writing more fluff than this, but Jesus I guess I did say this was a slowburn!
I know i'm not the greatest writer, hell I know sometimes my writing can suck depending on my mood/drive, but knowing that not only people are reading this, but are in fact enjoying this!? It means the absolute world to me! TvT
After ALLLL the chapters that I have written thus far, we will be resuming the actual story-line. Like I mentioned above, I have been basing this loosely on the actual video game, but with obvious changes/encounters since this is still an AU. I also plan on having most if not all cartoon characters alive. Later on I will have a chapter explaining as to how they survived.
I do plan on the story breaking away from the video-game in the future, and when it does, we will get a TON of fluff. Like there will still be fluff before then, but there will be a shit-load later on. Maaaybe even romance, idk, I get iffy about romance. There'll definitely be something there between Bendy and Y/N though.
Another final final thing! In case you guys didn't notice this either, when chapter titles have the name of a character in it, then the story will be written in 1st P.O.V. of that character! If it does not have the name of a character in it and the title of the chapter starts with "The", then it will be written in 2nd P.O.V.! I have found that I can switch P.O.V. with the readers (hopefully) being aware by titling my chapters a different way. It's fun to experiment.
Anyhow, without further ado, here is the timeline!
