Summary
Hey-ho! College is in full swing and you need to pay your bills! Jobs are hard to come by right now, not to mention finding something that fits into your schedule. Luckily, the ever famous (occasionally infamous) Freddy Fazbear Mega Pizzaplex is hiring whatever poor sucker is willing to do custodial work.
You have some past experience cleaning your old high school, and once worked as a server for a popular craw-fish joint. Surely, with these combined skills, you can make a little pay at the Plex? Animatronics or not, tuition was expensive.
So, off you go! It can't be that hard, right? Who knows, maybe you'll make a few friends!
Goodness knows you need some.

Summary
When you applied to work at the Superstar Daycare, you expected fun, nostalgia, and the occasional fussy kid.
What you didn't expect was the Daycare Attendant, a boisterous animatronic stationed to work at the daycare 24/7. You especially didn't expect to grow attached.
So when information about the attendant doesn't quite line up— stories that contradict each other, website URLs that are broken— you don't hesitate to stick your nose where it may or may not belong.
You've always been quick to get invested like that.
You've always been quick to love.

A Botanist's Guide to Not Falling in Love by W0rM_Tal3s
Fandoms: Five Nights at Freddy's
10 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
You thought moving was supposed to be a chance to start fresh, but the past always follows you, even to sleepy little towns in the middle of nowhere.
Your new job at “Cosmic Botanical Gardens” isn’t for the faint of heart. The owners are incompetent and you quickly find you’re the only one who knows anything about botany or plant care.
It wouldn’t be too bad, except one of your employers is as prideful as he is stand-offish. That’s fine by you, though. That is… until his icy exterior cracks unexpectedly, leaving you with feelings you’d rather never experience again.
His solar counterpart is a stark contrast. Always energetic, always giving you an enthusiastic greeting. Despite his quick wit and sass, he makes you feel a type of security you haven’t felt in a long time. A friendship quickly blossoms where you hadn’t expected it to, leading to the formation of dangerous emotions.
But you are far too guarded to fall for anything, let alone anyone. You’ve seen what happens when you open your heart and allow others in. You’re not ready to be vulnerable again and you promise yourself not to allow the butterflies in your stomach to escape.

Editting this little summary intro >:D
---
Awake in a place familiar and yet not, you followed a row of endless catwalks, stretching as far as the eye could see. through rooms and rooms of yellowing, decaying walls, leaves and vines breaking through the walls as decoration, and rusted catwalks that trembled under your feet, and though it felt familiar, you hadn't a clue where you were.Until you came across a young brunette woman in an orange jumpsuit with a gun held protectively in her arms, and a figure beside her.

Summary
You don't get to decide how worthy and deserving you are of friendship. It's unrealistic to believe you can keep a wall up forever, keep yourself from ever caring too much, again.
Then again, just as unrealistic as sentient animatronics prowling the Pizzaplex.
Your metaphors are just as terrible as your jokes.

Summary
You had been working retail jobs longer than some of your peers had been alive, and you had seen it all. At one point or another, you had come face to face with the worst customer service interactions imaginable—from Karens with years-old expired coupons, to teens who paid in pennies, to armed robbery, to Black Friday sale stampedes—and you had made the conscious decision to come out the other side with your customer service smile only slightly strained.
By comparison, working at Fazbear's was a breeze. $30 an hour PLUS insurance PLUS long and short term benefits? If you hadn't read the terms and conditions carefully, you'd think you might have signed your soul away when you started working there; it seemed almost too good to be true.
In a way, you guessed it was. Apparently, there was a history surrounding the company that had made other prospective employees… hesitant to apply. Still, you had done worse jobs for less, so the fact that your animatronic co-workers were a bit "quirky" was honestly a bonus.- Language:

Summary
You know, it's impossible to be lonely when you have built in company. An alter-ego? A ghost? An overgrown imaginary friend? You don't know, and have never really cared to find out, content to live as normal a life as you can, two of a kind. That gets a little difficult when the other half of your braincell decides to commit to hanging out with a daycare robot, which would be a little weird for an adult, but it only gets weirder when you start noticing some familiar patterns and silly little habits. All of a sudden, it's not just the two of you - it's the four of you, and while you're dealing with uncharted waters for your own emotional boundaries and recalibrating your personal ruleset to handle stressful situations (oh, you know, like a real Jekyll and Hyde situation on the robot you're hired to sort out) the Daycare Attendant is dealing with Malware Six ways to Sunday, and that's YOUR problem?
(Incomplete, currently unlikely that this fic will be continued, sorry y'all u_u Not planning on deleting it or anything, but it's been a couple years and I've lost steam for it.)
Chapters are given individual additional content warnings when applicable/I realize they need them.

Summary
You're the new tech/repairman at the Fazbear Mega Pizzaplex, unfortunately. Your first task? To make the Daycare Attendant into two separate animatronics. It's an amazing opportunity, really, and there is nothing you love more than getting a chance to really work with such tech! The only bad part is that you don't know how to tell anyone that you just might be in over your head. (You are extremely in over your head.)
(Just a silly feel-good fic, AU where there is no Security Breach, no William, no murders, etc. Sun and Moon fall in love with you, a well-meaning but honestly naïve and easily-overwhelmed little dummy)

Summary
When you, an avid and a little too curious for your own good mechanic, get hired at Freddy's Fazbear Mega Pizzaplex, a company known for its intelligent animatronics and the obscure rumors that circulate about it, you see it as an opportunity to quench your thirst for knowledge and occasionally stick your nose into a few little secrets.
So when you realize that the animatronics are much more than intelligent machines, you are determined to do everything in your power to make the lives of these animatronics better, both mentally and physically.
You had not, however, planned to get so close to the animatronics, especially the two Daycare Attendants, nor were you prepared for the new feelings that were developing, much less prepared for all the problems that would arise with your arrival.

But when staying after hours one day, despite being strictly instructed not to, you find out a terrible secret that changes everything you knew about Sun, Moon and Crescent City forever.

Summary
With nowhere else to go, Riley returns to the place they spent their childhood- Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex. When they discover that something is very wrong with the animatronics, they're forced to take shelter in the Superstar Daycare.
Considering that their favorite hobby has always been analyzing how animatronics work and think, Riley is thrilled at the chance to get to know the Daycare Attendant. Too bad everything had to go wrong first for them to get here. At least they're safe in the daycare, right? No health and safety hazards here in the Superstar Daycare absolutely none no siree.
AKA mostly a whole lot of playing with and getting to know Sun- As long as the lights stay on, anyway.
(Not a fan of longfics? Looking for something shorter but still satisfying? Chapter 11 and chapter 32 both work as early stopping points if you wish)(This fic is now a fully completed work!)
