DISCONTINUED Sequel to "Alone Within the Ink" Female reader! Following the disastrous string of events when Henry wandered through the studio, you and Bendy turned to a life of adventure, looking for loose ends to tie up and looking for old friends, as well as enemies, gone missing. Everything seems to be going fine, but who can really be sure in that nightmare of a studio?

(Ok, since I have a life and only update this at least once a year I just want to inform you all that this story is only here because I'm realising just how many plot holes there are and I left you all on some big cliffhangers, so if I can be bothered I'll keep fixing it up and maybe just maybe I'll finish it before the end of the year. Hopefully that's the case. Also keep in mind I started this when I was 11. Ok, bye) Y/n is a 22 year old girl who is currently training to be a cartoonist, she's a trainee for Mickey mouse, using her passion for art to be the illustrater of their show. However, trainee showbiz comes to a swift temporary end , when myth ceases to exist, and magic takes its place at its finest... But who understands that?

Joey Drew was a determined, yet curious man; was brilliant, yet manipulative; and an ex-biologist. He was fired from his position as a biologist - focused on the study of abnormal life, the human body, and microbiology - for his questionable goals and behavior. His passion for art lead to a career as the head of an animation studio after getting fired, using his savings earned from his former job to kickstart his animation career. His best friend, Henry, and him worked "together" to run it. You used to be employed there, but left because it just didn't feel safe there anymore and could not stand the working conditions. Pipes would burst to the absolute dismay of coworkers of whom worked near the bursts; machinery made a constant, unbearable ruckus throughout the building; and you started to see an abusive behavior from your quirky boss. What did you do while you were there? You created Bendy, a character of which you are proud to have made. However, when you left the studio, you left the rights of the character's ownership. It was just a character, though... well, so you thought. Almost two decades have passed and you were back. Writings were on the walls, people of ink and symbiotic behavior/nature were all over the place, and a certain demon appears to want and need you. Bendy was alive, and what Drew called a "symbiote," from what you've read from his entries. He wasn't a suitable host, so his body was slowly eaten alive by the symbiote. You however, were the perfect host. Made sense - you created the character. Honestly, what have you gotten yourself into?

Female reader! Completed! Everyone knows about Bendy; how he is a dangerous monster that stalks and attacks Henry. But what if I told you those stories were wrong, that everything actually wasn't as it seemed? What if Bendy was never dangerous? What if he was simply chasing Henry in attempt to help cure his own loneliness? Did anyone ever dare to think about how Bendy felt? How desperate he might simply be for compassion? How sad he must be to have been forgotten? To be left alone within the ink?

~BOOK ONE~ First was a QFTIM x reader Then became a Bendy x Reader x Cuphead Started- June 2018 Ended- December 2019 Warning: Short chapters asf ahead

"The studio pulled you back..." "...What scares me is the question of how he's still gone." "...Even if he forgot the experience, the feeling still stains." "It doesn't matter, Y/N. You're important. If the ink recognizes you as an angel once you're in its grasp, you WILL become an angel..." "Ink rolled down the walls like a pooling night, both infectious and merciless in its cold, blank stare." "...An angel's voice faded in again, scratching against your ears- which had heard too much screaming- and pulled at your insides with its chill." "Henry... I think there'll always be things here we won't be able to grasp or fully recognize when it's all over. Things we probably still wouldn't have understood if we stayed here all those years ago." You, as the former head of the Writing/Story department at Joey Drew Studios return after learning from learning from Linda Stein that Henry went missing going back to the same place: the now abandoned studio. As one of Henry's best friends, you're willing to take the risks the studio throws at you to help him and find out what happened, along with help the other ink creatures that you used to work with and help them remember who they were. Although the studio's demons are still demons and the angels are still angels, character appearances and settings are different, along with the encounters and events that occur, breaking the loop of what exactly you might've thought you knew about the studio. BATFD/ Bendy and the Forgotten Dream is essentially BATIM but with a different story/events (created by you!), character designs, lore, etc. There will be some Bendy x Reader and Sammy x Reader parts (directed at both male/female/other genders) in it as well! I hope you enjoy!
