As a teenager, you were William Afton's biggest nuisance. Always there. In his house, in his space, babysitting his kids like you belonged. You had a knack for getting under his skin-sarcastic, relentless, always pushing, always prying. And he hated it. Hated how you never seemed to leave him alone. But when things got hard-when you were bullied, when your world came crashing down-he was there. Begrudgingly. With a sigh, with a grumble, with that ever-present irritation in his eyes. But he never turned you away. Never let you break completely. A reluctant protector. A reluctant caretaker. And you? You had a crush. A stupid, reckless, all-consuming crush. You knew it was wrong, knew he was older, knew he'd never see you the way you wanted. But that didn't stop you from looking too long, from lingering in his presence, from holding onto something that was never yours to begin with. He noticed. And then he shattered it. You were just a kid. You needed to grow up, move on, find someone your own age. He wasn't interested. He never would be. So you left. Now, six years later, you're back. Older. Wiser. Ready to leave it all in the past. But William has changed too. His marriage is crumbling, his world is a mess, and for the first time, he looks... tired. Like life has drained something vital from him. And somehow, you end up tangled in his orbit again. But this time, it's a game. A lie. A carefully crafted act meant to fool his wife, to make her think he's fine without her. Fake dating. Pretending. Playing a role. It should be easy. You should be able to keep it separate, keep your heart locked away, because you know exactly how this ends. But the more you act, the more real it starts to feel. The more you catch yourself wanting. Hoping. And you swore you'd never let him hurt you again.

This is a continuation of 'Love to Die For' so if you haven't seen that yet, you won't understand this. WARNING! -Murder -Swearing -Lemon/smut -Trauma This is basically what your life has been like since William left, and what he has gone through since he had to run away. Will your paths cross again? Yes. It's a William x reader fanfic. Cover art: Noisx

[𝐅𝐍𝐀𝐅 𝐱 𝐅𝐄𝐌!𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑] 20 years had passed since William Afton was springlocked, and your friends were avenged. You finally got to live your life in peace, and had the opportunity to make a fresh start. You moved out of that town, far far away, and lived a normal life. Although; only for so long. Things come crashing down after you are having nightmares about Afton supposedly coming back. To add to your worry, it appears on the news that a new 'horror attraction' has opened in the little town. The stress of him possibly making a return was too much, so you make the bold choice to drive over to the small town where it all started, and make sure that doesn't happen. You stumble across a certain someone on the way, who happens to have a similar motive to you; and unbeknown to you, who also has a deep history with the man you both aim to taking down.
