Not every story is told as it should be. Not every monster means to be one. And not every family is functional. Meet the Aftons. William. Michael. Father and Son. Murderer, and Savior. This is their legacy. This is their story. This story is also posted on DeviantArt. All characters belong to their respected owners. All human characters and some elements of the story may reference fangames, the books, or character personalities being based off of another source (such as Rebornica). The object is to make this story as canon to the actual lore as possible, but with room for a bit of fun and interpretation (but shouldn't all fics?) Drawings are not mine unless noted. If I feature your art, please let me know if you want me to name you for the specific chapter/ take down said art. Thank you, and have a wonderful day!

**disclaimers in first part** the afton's were always looked up to as a "model family". they were successful and appeared polite and well disciplined. visibly, there was nothing wrong with them. however, things were different behind closed doors. there were more struggles than anyone could ever guess. they were nowhere near perfect, but those flaws would never be shown in the public eye.
