Ten years ago, the Hour of Joy turned a toy factory into a nightmare.
The Critters, once cheerful mascots meant to comfort children, weren't killed by Catnap - they were spared. The Prototype saw value in them. Twisting their minds, he turned them into loyal disciples of his growing cult. All except one. Labeled a heretic, he was cast out... and the others were made to forget him.
There was only one human child to survive the Hour of Joy. Ten years have passed, but the trauma never left him- the smiling faces, the screams, the ones you couldn't save. Life moved on. He didn't.
Then one day, a mysterious letter arrives. A chance to return. A chance to end it. A chance to bury your demons once and for all.
But when memories come back to life... so do the monsters.

Smiling Critters: A Turn To The Story.
During The Hour Of Joy, DogDay finds himself trapped in a real nightmare; being imprisoned by CatNap and tortured for years. He never knew what became of his friends. He never knew if they really died, as CatNap told him numerous times during his torture, or if they managed to escape his clutches. DogDay believes his destiny is already written; He was going to die there, immersed in the uncertainty and pain of torture, unable to escape that hell where he was placed by the friend he respected the most. Everything will be solved with the arrival of a savior. Some angels who came from heaven and that will change the story we all know. (NOTES) -This story is just an alternate version of the true story. It includes my own theories, too. If there's any disagreement, you can argue it as long as it is respectful. -I do not support any type of ships in this fanfic, since the relationships between the characters are rather different types of friendship, enemies, or maybe platonic feelings. Some interactions may lead to misunderstandings, so I'm warning now. -The images are mine and were made with Gacha Life 2 (I'm not good at drawing) - Any feedback will be welcome to help me improve my writing. Don't be ashamed to leave your opinions in the comments or by private message! -The narrator changes distinctly in this story. If there is no symbol above it, it will be in the third person. If these symbols appear, these will be the narrators: ❤: Bobby Bearhug. 🍎: PickyPiggy. 🌈: CraftyCorn. 💡: Bubba Bubbaphant. ⚡: Hoppy Hopscotch. ⭐: KickinChicken. ☀: DogDay. 🟠: Austin. 🔵: Maya. 🔴: Oscar.Complete![angels here to save [DOGDAY X GN READER]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/363187563-256-k183322.jpg)
angels here to save [DOGDAY X GN READER]
Dogday x GN reader you were a worker, specifically you watched the orphans meaning you didn't have much insight as to what happened within the walls of your workplace. after getting a job oppurtunity you leave your job luckily before the "hour of joy" takes place (you dont know this had happened). seeing that your old workplace had been abandoned you check it out once more maybe you'll find something? whatever you were hoping for in this journy it isn't what you had expected. ----- story will start with chapter 3 opening!! past chapters had already been events in the story. dogday was also a worker before being turned into a toy (an event you didnt know about also) to help out with kids. you remeber him and the other Smilying Critters when they came to help with children.(this is how you'll remeber dogday). ----- Dogday is an adult in this book as for the theories he was once an employee and for his voice in the game being one of an adult male: IF later on in the PPT franchise its revealed dogday is indeed a child i will take this book down and NEVER mention it again. I do not want to be apart of any minor x adult bull so...yea. player saves dogday and continues a journy with a new ally. ART CREDS: https://twitter.com/PatronoSpectro/status/1736206555723264406/photo/1 Mentions/TW:: -gore - mention of cannibalism - religous worship mentions - if any other TW come up in chapter tw will be put in beginging. ---------- there will be no smut. this story may turn out platonic or romantic just depends as i write.Complete
SMILE FOR US!
Yandere!Smiling Critters x Male!Child!Reader Y/n was a just a normal kid, wanting to make friends at Playcare, but no one wants to play and be friends with him, except for a kid named Theodore Grambell, who mysteriously disappeared. However, the Smiling Critters took notice of this and tried to be the best friends that Y/n could asked for to make him smile and be happy for them. But then, before the Hour of Joy happened in Playtime Co., Y/n was placed inside a cryogenic chamber in one of the labs and was soon woken after a long time, finding himself trapped inside the factory that left to rot and abandoned since the Hour of Joy and Y/n is left all alone to find a way out of the factory alive before he becomes the toy's next victim. That is, if the toys really want to harm a poor, defenseless child like Y/n as they seemed to want Y/n all to themselves, including the Smiling Critters that don't want Y/n to leave and want him to join the family as a Smiling Critter like them. What will Y/n do in an abandoned toy factory to escape from a bunch of evil toys that want to play with him forever and ever? Story inspired by Crossover42 and TnTHeadHoncho's Smiling Critters x Reader Stories.
