Akane lives with her older brother, Loid, in a not-so-shapey apartment in New York City. Things aren't the best, as money could be better, but both of them have been doing what they can to continue to try and move on from certain events in the past. Although, as the past creeps up on Akane constantly, it's not the easiest thing to accomplish.
They have their jobs, working with one another at an Animation Studio, named after the one and only, Joey Drew. Ah yes, this man, Akane isn't quite fond of them whatsoever, but, at the end of the day, he is her boss on top of everything, so she can't disrespect such a person and risk losing her boss. Though, after a few months on the job, things start to get strange, as an inky twist comes by.
How will she be able to handle it all? A disappearance of someone quite close to her, as these memories of the past grow yet stronger and harder to overcome.

With fellow familiar faces by her side through it all, how will it all play out? In her favor? Someone else's? That is yet quite the mystery, as she tries to hold on to this rope of living as much as she can.

Even the Devil can change into a pure Angel (Bendy and the Ink Machine Fanfic)  by EF-GasterElena
18 parts Complete Mature
Everything was going fine at the Joey Drew Studios. Henry is thinking while walking back and forth beside of Joey, who's drawing another frame of Bendy. "I know! We should try to add an antagonist" claims Henry, walking directly towards his pal. "Yeah, great idea, buddy. And do you have an idea?" "Yes. A little devil. A woman devil. Let's call her... Ugh... A name starting with a D..." "What about Dinah?" questions Joey. "What a beautiful name. Let's call her Dinah." replies Henry, satisfied. ~ No one such as Joey Drew is as greedy as him. Those ideas and plans had intoxicated his mind, making him swearing only by his brand new machine, the Ink Machine. Oddly and without realizing, Claire Lockwood, a beautiful woman with a splendid voice, looked as everyone started to disappear. "Come here my little Devil, lemme show you something" he said the other day. As Claire joined him and, walking toward the gorgeous Ink Machine, everything goes black, a dark, abyssal and pure black. ~ How can she forgive him? He had completely used her in order to execute his greedful and successful thoughts. Even if she can't remember why, she always have to obey to this certitude, walking quickly into the hallways, her ink dripping a little onto the ground, his breathings echoing into her head. Her inky dominate hand takes a projector, mouthing an incantation, as her ink models a body and supports the projector as a head onto the inky shoulders. "Find him and bring him directly to me. Is that clear?" The Molested nods as he quickly walks down the hallway, taking the elevator to the level 14. ~ Fanfic by EF-GasterElena, I do not own Bendy and the Ink Machine (The Meatly do), but Dinah, Gargoylya, Draco, the characters demeanors and the changes about the chapters of the game and are from my imagination.

"Besides, who's going to turn it on anyway?" In modern day America, the world has mostly forgotten about Joey Drew and his cartoons. All they know about him is he was the eccentric owner of an animation company that was finally shut down after financial problems turned dire. They were ready to move on from him. Alyssa Drew-Bates is an aspiring artist and photographer, who is set to start her junior year of high school in a couple weeks after a solo trip to Philadelphia to visit some family. She also happens to be the great-granddaughter of the man himself. After befriending a trio of teenage residents and reconciling with her cousin, the five of them set out for a fun day together. That fun day, however, is interrupted when Lys accidentally stumbles across the old site for Joey Drew Studios. A fun trip to Philadelphia quickly turns deadly when the group suddenly finds themselves scrambling for answers in a race against time to escape the workshop from whatever, or whoever, might still be lurking in there... Although Alyssa had always been interested in Joey's life, there could be serious consequences for her and her friends when she finds herself asking a question that could sprout nothing but trouble: What was Joey hiding? ~~~~~~ Disclaimer: this story is nothing but a fanmade tale based on the game Bendy and the Ink Machine and I claim no ownership of any characters present in the story other than my OCs.

"No Life 'Til Leather" by NUmaker
28 parts Ongoing
Sometimes shit happens. Hey, it's not always your day, it's alright. One moment you're riding high, soaring above these mud-riddled plains with the king of mercs by your side, another, you're running far away from the crater he blew himself up in. You've really outdone yourself this time. W's dead, there's angel blood on your fingers and something itches to grow out of your skull. To pierce those gray curls of yours and bask in the twin moon's soft gaze. Something brewing deep within, eager to dim that halo forever and shatter your wings. A piece of you that's always been there, always hiding and growling, waiting for its moment to shine. So, hit the lights, Andy. Give it some stage time. Let yourself live a little. Throw out that Lateran jacket, put on some leather. Grow a pair of horns, befriend a fiend. Forget Laterano, forget Lungmen. Kazdel is your new home. And your new home's where you rightfully belong, you little rascal. Hellooooo people !! Here we are, a SPIN-OFF story of my "Curly Head" series, in which Andy actually went on that one job he previously ditched and got himself into quite a predicament. In this one, I'll turn the angst-meter down, I promise. W and Andy, happy times. :D This is, of course, perfectly fine as a standalone work, I think, but if you're new and wanna brush up on the lore then you can do just that! Series starts with "Goodbye Curly Head", rest is pretty straightforward. Summed up: thirteen year old boy from Laterano ships himself off to fight in the Kazdel Civil War for peacekeeping reasons, situation turns to shit at the end of his tour, forced to stay in Kazdel and make money as a merc, meets up the first W's crew at the age of sixteen, circus-slapstick follows. Ps: I'm not giving up on "Almost Green", only taking a small break and also delivering some much needed fluff-ish stuff. Tell me you thoughts in the comments, I tend to reply to every single one of them and love reading through them all! Have fun!

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?
