Disclaimer: This story is an AU, or an alternate universe! Not all of this will go along with the canon lore of FNaF. The Five Nights at Freddy's franchise is owned by Scott Cawthon. I do not own it. Most of the characters featured in this book are based on canon characters. Others are not and are my characters.
Please note that this AU is years old! It is nowhere near the canon storyline. The lore wasn't as developed when I created this AU, so a lot of events are screwed up or in the incorrect timeline. I know the canon lore now, but, as I stated before, it wasn't as developed and confirmed yet.

"You Jerk..." Michael Afton x Reader
Afton Robotics LLC; voted America's most reliable tech company since 1983, is known mainly for making animatronics for a pizzeria chain owned by Fazbear Entertainment. In fact, Mr. Afton is the co-owner of the local Fazbears Pizzeria. Y/N's parents assist in supplying Afton Robotics with minor technical supplies, when Afton finds out that the L/N's have potential in building his new line of animatronics he promotes them to executive technicians. However, this came with a small catch, they needed to move to the same state as Afton to work in his shop. Y/N L/N, caught up in the middle of her parent's careers, doesn't like this idea. She didn't want to leave her friends, childhood home, etc. But that's not the only con of moving... William Aftons son, Michael. The typical "teenage dirtbag", he and his gang of friends are known to be trouble. After moving into her new home, Y/N thinks that things couldn't get worse; she was in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. She soon finds out the Aftons live in her neighborhood, they actually live right across from her, Michael Afton was going to be her neighbor. Immediately Michael was a jerk to her, as she expected. The most unexpected thing, he's fallen for her.Complete

Afton Family Skits [OLD]
This is a clean skit book. No smut or anything! Just cute romance, overly dramatic people, and that's all. If anything is needed to be warned about, it's written before the skit starts. Requests are always open! If you have an idea for a skit, DM me or put in the comments. I'll write it as quickly as I can! Cover art is mine. Drawn by me, Evan. Different personas from a series of templates were used, though. If you know the name of the original artist, please let me know! I would love to give them credit for their hard work. Skit collection is marked complete, but I'm still writing more skits for it. This story is no longer my main priority like TFOTA and Happier are.Complete

The Afton Family: Origins.
The Afton family is central to the lore of the "Five Nights at Freddy's" series. The story begins with William Afton, a talented engineer and co-founder of a restaurant chain that features animatronic characters. William met Clara, a kind and supportive woman who later became his wife. The couple got married and settled down, starting a family together. They had three children: Michael, the eldest, who grew up trying to live up to his father's expectations; Chris (often referred to as the "Crying Child" by fans), the sensitive middle child who had a deep fear of the animatronics; and Elizabeth, the youngest, who shared her father's fascination with the animatronics but lacked an understanding of their dangers. As the Afton children grew up, the family dynamic became increasingly strained. William's obsession with his work and the darker side of his ambitions began to cast a shadow over the family, leading to tragic events that would ultimately shape their fates. Each child's story intertwines with the mysteries surrounding the animatronics and the haunted history of their father's creations. Credit of cover goes to Kizy-Ko on deviantartComplete

In Medias Res- (Eyes of Purple Book Two)
Michael is haunted by ghosts. It doesn't matter. The similarity between him and his father, William- the ghosts want him gone. Luckily, Michael has help, in the form of pre-recorded messages left to him by a former friend. But the past has a way of creeping back in the oddest places... Eight years after the infamous Bite of Eighty-Seven, we pick up the narrative in a smaller, but no less important Pizzeria. Cover art drawn by deviantart user bluedoe63 and colored by AskError87 FNaF belongs to Scott Cawthon. This story makes heavy references to and is modeled from Game Theory's FNaF timeline. Any and all characters and some elements of the story may reference fangames, the FNaF novels, or may be based off of another source. 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?). All characters belong to respected owners. 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. Fanart is always appreciated! Thank you, and have a wonderful day!Complete
Inside These Walls
This is an alternate universe (AU) story inspired by the Afton family from Five Nights at Freddy's. Please note that this story is not canon and does not follow the events of the original FNaF timeline. In a world where darkness looms over the Afton family, secrets, betrayal, and broken bonds create an unsettling tale. The story delves deep into the lives of William Afton and his family, exploring their tragic flaws, twisted relationships, and the consequences of their choices. But behind the facade of a seemingly normal family lies a web of horrors-both physical and emotional. With themes of abuse, domestic violence, and manipulation, this story is not for the faint of heart. It challenges the characters in ways that will leave readers questioning what they thought they knew about the Afton family. Please be advised that this story contains sensitive content that may be upsetting for some readers. Read at your own discretion. Disclaimer: I do not own Five Nights at Freddy's. All rights to the characters and world belong to Steel Wool Studios and Scott Cawthon. Warning: Mature themes ahead. Wretched Proceed with caution.Complete

The Family Reunion - SimmiVerse AU
This is the story of the Afton Family's escape from their tragedy & how they made it to a new life. This is the Alternative Universe of VioletVerse. This will contain some explicit descriptions that may trigger some sensitive people, you are being warned. I also wrote some things either in a hurry, or just lazily because UM I love writing but it gets hella hard, so like this is guaranteed to be cringe or unhinged. 😭 Also, remember, this is different from the canon verse so do not think this is how the Aftons actually are in FNAF. Please enjoy as this took me so much time to create!! Edit (4/14/26) my AU has changed a lot since then but it's still quite similar!!
'Til The End Of Time (FNAF AU)
Elizabeth Afton, Chris Afton, and Charlotte Emily have always been a tight pack. They always got along, they always had fun. Best friends who stick together 'Til The End Of Time. But what happens when everything starts falling apart? This book is based off of a role play I was doing with 2 other people on Scratch. Michael, Elizabeth, William, and Clara Afton were roleplayed by @SxoGraceSxo. (Me) Charlotte Emily, Lefty, Marionette/Puppet, Henry Emily and Security Puppet were all roleplayed by @LilAlbinoEnderman Chris Afton, Nightmare Foxy, Ballora, Springtrap and Molten Freddy were all roleplayed by Protocookie123456 on Scratch.mit.edu. Funtime Foxy was roleplayed by Springtrap663 (I think) on Scratch.mit.edu. All other characters were just added. And I had to change up our roleplays a bit to make them all fit together. The whole book is kind of a collab, since I made it out of the roleplay me and my friends did. The three characters, Chris, Elizabeth, and Charlotte on the cover are drawn by me on Kleki.com, the background and text fonts are given and provided by Canva. DISCLAIMER: Five Nights At Freddy's does not belong to me, it belongs to the game developer, Scott Cawthon. NOTE: This is an AU, an Alternate Universe, and in this AU Chris doesn't die from the bite, and some other crazy stuff.Complete
Afton Family Scenarios
**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.

Five Nights at Freddy's - The Story Retold
**DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CONTENTS MENTIONED, ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED AND GOES TO THE RESPECTFUL OWNERS!** William Afton, married, a father of three children, Elizabeth, Evan and Michael, began a business with his good friend Henry Emily, married, a father of two, Charlotte and Sammy. Their business name was decided to be "Fazbear Entertainment", and together they opened up a small restaurant called Fredbear's Family Diner. Despite their success, however, William and Henry were unaware of the dark future that lay ahead for their business and their personal lives. Their creative genius would soon give way to tragedy and horror, as the animatronics they created became haunted by the spirits of murdered children and took on a life of their own. But for a brief moment in time, the restaurants that William and Henry created were the pinnacle of family-friendly entertainment and a place where children could go to make happy memories that would last a lifetime. "Five Nights at Freddy's - The Story Retold" is a book, telling the tale of a man, broken and bleeding, his son, revengeful and remarkable, and the horrible disasters their consequences caused. This book tells the lore of the FNaF franchise, a universe created by the genius of Scott Cawthon. However, this is just another version of the backstory to the infamous universe, as Scott or any of the devs have never confirmed or denied anything. Alas, the lore is not confirmed to be true. The lore I have explained in this book is only one of the more popular and evident ones. I hope you'll enjoy reading this. Made with love by Sydney<3Complete

Nostalgias Collide (fnaf and Batim crossover)
After they left their father due to his insane possession that was unexplainable to them, The Afton Kids now live with Scott Cawlton, his wife and three sons, where they can start a new life. However, not all of them were able to move on. Elizabeth, being a daddy's girl since birth, had refused to move on until she remembered an old cartoon they all use to watch about an ink demon who she loved. When she hears that the ink demon is real and lives at the studio, she and both her brothers venture to find her nostalgic demon only to realize he is not the same demon like in the cartoons. She knew they needed to help him because he's the only memory of her once beloved dad. Disclaimer, I DO NOT OWN BENDY AND THE INK MACHINE, OR FNAF, OR ANY OF THE PICTURES IN THIS STORY.

Michael Afton X Female Reader (discontinued)
I feel myself blush profusely as Michael puts his face close to mine. He pressed his hands on my shoulders, holding me against the lockers behind me. I glanced around, wondering what he thought he was doing. Part of me wanted to push him away out of embarrassment, but the other wanted him to stay. My shoulders relaxed as I realized that I felt safe here, in his arms. I closed my eyes, letting out an exhale as I felt him wrap his hands around my neck. "Michael, I-I don't think we should be doing this..." I muttered under my breath, just enough for only him to hear. "Shhhh.." he whispers softly. "Nobody has to know.." And then, like something about this situation was pulling me towards him, his lips touch mine. So yeah, this is Michael Afton X Reader :/ I made it because my fans voted that I make this on my community post 😂 Also the characters belong to Scott Cawthon, the creator of FNAF! I only own.. uh.. your character?- :) Also I did personally MAKE the cover, but I copied the positions and stuff from another image. Because I suck at drawing people kissing when I try from my imagination :') So all credit for the position goes to the person who made the original image!
