“Good Evening, Moon.”
The Nighttime animatronic slowly rose their head, staring blankly at the one-way mirror. Their red and black eyes reflected back at them. Two pinpricks in the darkness of the testing room. Their infrared vision sensed one human up there today. Just one.
Moon gave a bit of a scoff.
“Where?....”
There was a bit of pause, before the testing human responded.
“You’re looking right at me, Moon. Are your visual sensors or infrared damaged?”
Moon shook their head and pointed right at the human’s location through the mirror. Right where their reflection rested.
“....Other one. Not here.”
There was a bit of a pause, as the testing human was piecing together what Moon was asking, then gave a low chuckle.
“Ah…… you’re sharp, aren’t you?”
-----------------
Moon has a dream, or... a memory... that has him rethink a few things about how he was built.
Is he supposed to feel regret for something that he is supposed to do?
....His Daycare Attendant Protocols are Mixing up with his Security Protocols again.
A bad combination.
He seeks out some help and advice to friends, but it's a little hard to admit that you killed someone you were supposed to, and feel bad about it. He can't talk to Vanessa for sure.
Also. Bonnie is here.
WARNING: This chapter contains blood, human deaths, gore imagery, panic attacks and mild hallucinations

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S RECOMMENDATIONS
I promised fic recommendations like a week or two ago and I'm only getting it to it now but ayyooooooooo here we go! Here are my favorite Sun and Moon fics, asked for by @spama and then it was like well shit let me just dump all my Five Nights At Freddy's recommendations here. They contain a mix of tropes, some of which contradict each other (I enjoy exploring different characterizations, but you’ll notice a lot of these have similarities that keep popping up because I am nothing if not predictable), and I’ll try to note prominent features and tropes in each one with minimal spoilers. So in no particular order!
Solar Lunacy by @bamsara
Reader insert, eventual romance with the daycare clowns. The protagonist has just been hired at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex pre-Security Breach for general odd jobs that need to be done around the complex and quickly finds out how actually fucking weird their job is. They slowly meet the robots one by one and find themselves drawn to the first two they met, the daycare attendants, and the weird mystery surrounding them- in that Sun handles the daycare alone, when Moon is clearly meant to be his counterpart and partner. Why isn't Moon helping in the daycare? What happened? Why is Moon so oddly feral; why does he play with them sometimes but try to hurt them other times? Something isn't right here, and they're gonna snoop until they find out what.
Features the other robots as prominent characters very early, but remains Sun and Moon central. Features Monty as a dick. So far no mentions of Bonnie or Foxy.
Celestial Omens (That Really Like Fishsticks) by @bamsara
This one gets its own separate category because it’s not part of the same story series and is in fact a non-fnaf au.
A mermay fic! Reader insert! Sun and Moon are sirens and you live on the shore. As a child you come across two siren children who are injured, exhausted, and trapped under netting, so of course you do the humane thing and rescue them. You take them back to your house and take care of them, giving them a safe place to sleep for the night. The next day you bring them back to the ocean and send them home, expecting to never see them again and eventually believing your elders about it all being a lonely child’s imaginative game.
Ten years later you nearly get yourself killed at sea, and your silent guardians, now as grown up as you are, finally get their chance to return the kindness you showed them all those years ago.
It’s only one chapter in but them as children is criminally adorable.
Lofi Beats To Capture Children To by @dana-the-control-brain
Twin Animatronics With Too Much Time On Their Hands by @twinanimatronics
Lofi Beats follows Sun and Moon from their birth likely up to (maybe even including?) the events of Security Breach, detailing how these two got to where they are in present time- the circumstances of their creation, the abusive situations they were thrown into the deep end to deal with, and how that affected their relationship with one another. To say nothing of the actual child murders. Still ongoing!
Features the other robots as important characters, but takes a bit to meet them. DJ MM is encountered first early on. Yes, he's adorable. Monty is once again a bully in this universe, so be mindful of that if you don't like that characterization for Monty.
Twins is a reader insert that takes place after Lofi Beats and the events of Security Breach. The protagonist has known Sun and Moon for three months now and has grown used to them and their antics pretty quickly. The two are more bonded to one another now than they were three months ago, but they have a long way to go with their healing process and their relationship with each other... especially when neither have fully processed what happened to them, let alone how it affected them. This is further complicated with their feelings towards the protagonist, who remains clueless about all of this until one fateful encounter with Gregory after closing one day forces all three of them to examine themselves and their relationships with each other.
Is starting to feature the other robots, but also more slowly than Solar Lunacy. I'm guessing they and Gregory will be explored later on, as this fic is still a Sun and Moon centered fic. Monty has not been encountered yet at this point in the timeline but what we've heard of him indicates he's still kind of a dick.
Romance with the daycare clowns! Also utilizes the 'Sun and Moon were locked in the daycare and left there' trope if you like that one.
This series features an extremely interesting take on their origins and initial relationship with each other that I’m kind of in love with tbh; just be sure you’re ready to watch them fight. A lot.
Copper Cogs Rusted Through by @paper-lilypie
Reader insert, future romance with the daycare clowns! The protagonist lives in an unassuming neighborhood and works two jobs to support their baby siblings. Life is full of love thanks to their family, but is also mundane and exhausting... until one day they find a ruined robot in the junkyard they work in. A break in the monotony! Being a former engineering student of course the only thing to do is rebuild the robot!
But what happens when that robot turns out to be sentient?
And traumatized.
And also not the only robot inhabiting the body.
Also the other one seems to be a bit murdery.
Whoops.
A post-fire ending where Sun and Moon did not escape the fire, and wake to find themselves being reassembled by a stranger in a strange house a year after the blaze (and maybe two years since they've had contact with people; I don't know yet if this story is going with 'Sun and Moon were abandoned in the daycare' trope). Sun is just grateful to not be dead anymore and overjoyed to be around people again, but his and Moon’s second chance at life is not going to come easily...
Don’t Spare Your Gaze by @inazumaneko
Fun fact this is the first Sun and Moon fic that I ever read!
Sun and Moon encounter and survive the fire ending, but find themselves alone in the big wide world suddenly, injured and traumatized and without a purpose anymore. Now they must figure out how to survive a world they were never meant to fit into, with limited supplies and oh yeah the virus still kicking around in Moon’s head that activates anytime he encounters a human.
Surely this will go smoothly!
(It does not, in fact, go smoothly.)
Sun and Moon’s relationship in this is honestly just absolutely precious as in ‘I squealed aloud at a few points’ precious. If you prefer watching these daycare clowns not fight, this is the fic for you.
(That’s not to say that at some point in this long fic they won’t ever fight, just that their relationship starts from a better place in this one than previous stories on this list.)
Moon also isn’t a weird gremlin in this one. But he is adorable.
This one also has an interesting take on the what the virus is and how it operates!
And finally, NOT Sun and Moon centered, but far too good to not recommend:
To Fix What's Broken of The Unconventional Series by @larxicana
Set during Security Breach, Gregory discovers that Freddy has a missing loved one and that the robots can be flushed of their murderous glitch with a good shock to their systems. Because he is the world's tiniest juggernaut, naturally he decides the only thing to do about these discoveries is to find the missing rabbit release each of the others from the faulty programming compelling them to chase him.
But what starts as a mission to repair Bonnie and collect all of the other robots turns into a much darker mystery that needs solving as it begins to become apparent that something really bad is happening here, something beyond a simple glitch in the system...
Six parts so far, with most of them being one shots but a few being proper fics (though Sum Of Their Parts is short). The latest, To Fix What's Lost, finally deals with the 'where's Foxy' question!
Monty is not a bully in this one, so rejoice if you prefer that characterization of him!
The og four are actually THE ogs, if you like that trope too!
Sun and Moon enjoyers may be disappointed that they're not central characters, but they DO have a place in the family and are starting to feature a bit more.
Gregory is the pov character and he is a riot.
EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU TO THE AUTHORS FOR ALL THEIR WORK YOU PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN ME HOURS AND HOURS OF SERATONIN AND STORIES TO PICK APART FOR ANALYSIS AND THEORIES FOR FREE AND DESERVE ALL THE PRAISE
YOU ARE ALL SO CREATIVE AND TALENTED AND MAKE THE FANDOM THAT MUCH BRIGHTER FOR BEING THERE

hey, what's up. i hope August has been kind to y'all. 🖤
thank you to those who've continued to tag me in their wipsday posts these last couple weeks. i'm in pretty rough shape these days, so y'all have no idea how much i look forward to sundays and wednesdays, even when i don't have the energy to engage with fandom as fully as i'd like to.
i thought i'd share a bit more of the chat-fic i affectionately refer to as "bitverse" today. 💫 i've shared two other snippets from this fic before, [here] and [here] if you're curious.
Agatha doesn’t text him until quarter-to midnight.
“Home safe,” she says.
And then, “Sorry.” And, “We went out for supper.”
Simon slouches in his chair, wedging a knee into the space between his stomach and his desk, the edge digging into his shin. It’s sharp and tight and not at all comfortable. He texts back, “it’s ok,” and, “where at?”
“That Italian place downtown.”
“ew,” he says, and she reacts to it with a thumbs-up.
“Did I wake you?” she asks.
“no,” he says. Then, “DQ tmrw?”
Agatha reads his message, but doesn’t respond right away. The three dots pulse on her side of the screen for three strange, awkwardly long minutes before she finally replies with, “Maybe,” followed quickly by, “Ask again in the morning, I can’t think about ice cream when I’m tired.”
“are you going to bed?”
“Yeah, sorry.”
“it’s ok,” he says, “it’s late. night aggie”
“Night.”
“ily,” he says.
She reacts to that with a thumbs-up, too.
Simon locks his phone and drops it on his chest.
