Other father x reader
This world was a dark place when Coraline wasn’t around. No more reason for the other mother to fill it with joy and laughter.
When Coraline was gone you all were expected to sit. And stay until the little girl came to play. You hated lying to the poor children but their souls are what nurtured you and this land. Sand and cotton was all that filled you and yet you knew deep down you knew that you had a soul.
And so did you beloved. The quick touches. The smallest twitch of a lip. The sound of the bed creaking.
The other mother threatened. Threatened so sow your mouths closed and your hands together if she ever got you again. Even more if you did it in front of Coraline! How could she see her dad sneaking looks at her neighbor.
You held your breath and she snuck pass the other mother’s room and silently swore to yourself as the door clicked closed to his study.
“Darling!” The other Charlie whisper-yelled to you as he turned on a lamp. You rushed over you pressed your lips to his. “I had to see you! It’s been almost a week Charlie! Did you take of the…piano?” You nodded your head to the piano. You knew the gloves were snitches. Charlie nodded as he pointed to a pair of scissors on the table.
“Good.” You whispered as he guided to the couch and sat you do.
“Darling you’re shaking.”
“What will happen if she catches us. We’re her servant and not supposed to be are own beings. You saw what she did to Wybie! And with you trying to help Coraline…maybe you should just stop!”
“Stop!? Darling are you joking? I’ll never stop we can’t let this continue. I know you’re scared but you were the one to bring the idea of saving the kids to me. Plus I have more power that you. I’m with her and Coraline all the time. And unlike Wybie I can speak.” He spat. “As long as we’re don’t make it seem like we’re against her we will be fine.” He pressed his hand to his lips and sighed.
You nodded before standing and heading for the doorway. You turned your head. “You remember the code word.”
He nodded “Squish Squash” He whispered.
That was the last time you saw him…

Been getting back into the Coraline fandom and looking at all the theories. One theory states that one of that this ghost children is the daughter of Mr. Bobinsky, due to their matching long faces.
Presumably, the Other Father took the form of Mr. Bobinsky to lure her in. But what if it wasn't actually the Other Father we know at the time, and it was actually the Other Bobinsky?
Mr. Bobinsky was still living in the house when Coraline came along, so the Other Mother couldn't just get rid of him. He ether had to make a new Other Bobinsky, or in this case, make a new Other Father and give the Other Bobinsky a new role as an entertainer.
It's likely that his fatherly personality somewhat bleeds through his new entertainer personality. Unlike the Other Spink and Forcible, he actually talks to Coraline after the show and treats her rather lovingly, even kissing her hand.
When all of the Other Mother's creations start reverting to their original forms, Other Bobinsky still treats Coraline with kindness, while Other Spink and Forcible lash out at her violently.
It's likely that if he still had the mindset of the Other Father, he would have just given her the eye. But the Other Mother rewired his mind to that of a performer, though it seems she didn't completely remove that father part of his mind, leading to his personality being a mix of both. The father half still cares for Caroline, while the entertainer half wants to keep entertaining her. Doesn't help that his mind is unraveling along with his body and he's giving in to rat instincts.
Anyway, that's my theory to add to the pile of Coraline theories. Probably won't get noticed among them all, but whatevs.

Thoughts on the Ringmaster from Coraline?
I was actually going to reread Coraline next after Which Witch?. (Going to start the latter tomorrow.) Then search for my DVD copy…
I can see why people’d be into the Other Mr. Bubinsky, but if I’d rather go for the Other Father.
More male characters should have button eyes and be highly stylized.
