October 23rd, 2022, 9:46 AM, I had reblogged a post containing the idea of what if the roles of Sleuth Jesters were reversed. In that post, I had placed in parenthesis; ‘(and am tempted to make a ficlet about it)’. At 10:38 AM on the same day, Naffeclipse said; ‘Hey, if you ever do, tag me’. And at that moment, I felt, now I had to do it , but, fellow simps, this was not a ficlet. This became a whole bit.

People of the FNAFSBDCASF, I have been waiting for weeks to do this. In this chapter, I will tell you and dissect how this story works. Where you get certain pieces, where their siblings are, and where they fit together. Where they come into play. It’s basically a big game of me making bullets and hiding them in my house for me to use when the time’s right, as is how I write a lot of my stories with vague styles of writing it. Except, I need to use as many of these bullets that I hide around as I can, or else you, the readers, could find them lying around me and shoot me with them. 

Lemme, be honest, why the hell did I make this a self-insert. I don’t even refer to them as ‘you’, the ‘reader’. So, in the rest of this, the majority of me referring to the ‘Y/N’ is gonna be called ‘Heavenly’. Later in their life, they’re referred to as ‘Red Halo’ and ‘Vigilante’, could you call it a bounce forward and/or a bounce back. Nobody’s worried. It’ll still be a self-insert, anyways. I’m too attached to the writing style ( sigh ).

[Direct Opposites]

This whole story was written to be almost the exact opposite of Sleuth Jesters. Which is the reason why literally almost everyone dies except Eclipse, since in the original, Eclipse is the only one who kicks the bucket (aside from Gregory, but I already killed two other kids ;-;). 

That’s my most hurtful opposite from the original. I made this story to not have a good ending. Or more specifically, no closure. Eclipse’s death in the original brings Vigilante’s past into the light along with putting an anger that he couldn’t get rid of to rest. His death is the closure. But in this…in this one, Eclipse lives. He lives with all of the hell and stigma his very existence brings, finds one good thing in the world that can work with someone like him and loses them and literally everyone else who’s ever done similar in the span of a month. Heavenly’s… disappearance has next to no closure. Eclipse had to forge that way himself.

Oh, yes, Heavenly is dead. But more on that later. I left pieces for that, too.

Anyways, Heavenly thinks before they act, is socially inept, and doesn’t know things outside of their work or projects, while their counterpart, Vigilante, is flexible, energetic, and charismatically flirtatious. The same could be said about Eclipse, Sun and Moon. Obviously, their positions all get shuffled around, while Heavenly sort of doubles as the Vigilante/Detective. The original concept had Sun and Moon being the vigilantes and sometimes I wished I went that route, where their mafia was full of vigilantes, but I digress.

The story was made to span over a year, telling you the adventures of Heavenly’s projects to ‘fix the city’. They end up joining the police force, with the aim of cleansing the department of moles so that the criminals they put in jail stay in jail (later on fixing the prison system in chapter 1). However, they ended up having a heart-to-heart with Eclipse one night that led to him throwing a chance in the air of requesting them not to kill. In my head, the reason why they actually listened to him was because he reminded them of William Afton, since Eclipse was significantly more crass and cynical three years before the story’s events. Like he’s given up on life. Makes sense considering those were probably Heavenly’s last memories of him.

Heavenly calls Eclipse ‘Angel Eyes’, which is obviously a reference to the original Vigilante calling the original Eclipse by that nickname. While Vigilante probably called him that as a snark, since Heavenly’s more calculating, I needed a legitimate reason to call him that. For the longest time, I had the basic reason of ‘Eclipse’s eyes were just black optics with fluorescent yellow irises that looked like halos’, which meant that they couldn’t be the actual yellow optic with black irises that inverted, like the original had. So they were like that all the time. In the Valentine’s Day special, Heavenly equates Eclipse to a biblically accurate angel; terrifying to look at, but means well, and aims to be a guardian to those on Earth/their home, reinforcing the nickname.

[The Celestial Trio’s Hatred]

For those of you who are confused of why Sun and Moon hate Eclipse so much, lemme try to walk you through the crumbs I left behind.

“What are you, a responsible caretaker? It’s not like you were such a saint in the past, big brother. Why, trying to look good in front of your little sleuth? …being such a sweet, caring figure. Why? So you can abandon them, too?” - Sun, Chapter 1

This is the first instance where you get some type of shaky grounds on Eclipse’s past. In the story he’s also trying to make sure you don’t figure out about his past, which I, if I were looking at this from the outside, would beat him over the head for, because at the last chapter, it reveals that the daycare he worked at and the orphanage you were raised in for the first ten years of your life were in the same building;

‘Creasing his brows, he delicately picked up one [of the documents] with his fingertips, holding it up to his remaining optic…Eclipse clutched the box, trying to keep the bubbling possibility from surfacing…and because this document was signed with ‘William Afton’ - Eclipse, Chapter 5

”’Superstar’, the combination daycare orphanage, completely forgot that half of the place.” - Eclipse, Chapter 5

I pile in a lot of things about Eclipse in the last chapter, as I was pulling things from previous chapters into this one, making it ungodly long ( another sigh ). There’s a flashback while Eclipse is getting repaired after the fight with DJ, telling the backstory of him and his brothers and their models…

‘Sun and Moon would grab at his many limbs as if he was actually something and not powerless against his coding. He used to be the one cursing about the police behind their back…and his brothers used to sit there and watch, not saying a word.’ - Chapter 5

‘ Of course, since there were animatronics in the establishment, it did attract some of the rich family’s children. Where wealth came, danger always followed. Their build was supposed to be with this in mind, but it was never made to fight back…it was even worse when some of the children had gotten hurt…some even died.’ - Chapter 5

This part was probably confusing, since immediately after that line, it says that Eclipse knows why Sun and Moon hates him, as if insinuating why they did was the harm and death of the children they took care of, even though there’s an exact reason why they couldn’t defend the kids. However, you need to consider something very peculiar about our favorite celestial animatronic. This man isn’t simply a detective like the original Sun and Moon are. In the original AU, Sun and Moon become detectives through long periods of studying and tests, getting in through a ‘recommendation’ (Eclipse cashed in a favor to the terrible chief, a favor there wins, while one here costs). Eclipse is a Police Chief. He can’t simply just get the position through ‘recommendation’ with a completely human department, he wouldn’t last long. Mayor Fazbear wasn’t even in office, yet.

No, he had to work to get that position, as he constantly tells the reader this(through his POV struggles, example, scene where he feels all of his hard work become worthless when he investigates Heavenly’s apartment in Chapter 5), which begs the question, where could he have gotten the time? He’s tied to a daycare. Or was he?

‘The reason why it was so deserted now was because a fire ruined the interiors long ago…Eclipse would know. It’s why his brothers hated him so much.’ - Chapter 5

Before you jump to conclusions, even if he did hate humans enough to try to kill their children (which he didn’t, it says time and time again, he is partial to children), his brothers would’ve been locked inside, still trapped to the building. This is around the time animatronics were breaking out of their basic protocols. Eclipse had broken out of that protocol in that same flashback, saying that “I’m going to go there and change things.” and actually manages to break out with sheer spite. 

When (angrily conversing) with the former chief (who has a name), the old man does say, “If you think you can put in effort, come see me tomorrow at the same time. Otherwise, don’t even think about it.” And seeing where Eclipse is now, he had been coming to him in the dead of night, probably more careful to not wake up Sun and Moon this time, seeing how they were so scared that he’d get killed if he did it again.

Well, one time when he was off, getting officiated into the police force, one of the gangs that were targeting the kids inside, and in his absence, the daycare catches fire killing several kids as Sun and Moon almost melt to death. The thing is, they were awake when they saw him stomp out the first time, so they know he can bypass his coding to a degree, just didn’t know how far he could go. But the thing is, they knew he could do something, but the second they’re attacked again, Eclipse didn’t just do nothing, he was simply not there.  

That’s why Sun and Moon hate him. And why he hated himself and his position. 

[The Detaining DJ Riddle]

If you couldn’t tell, Heavenly’s origin place (AKA location of the lab) was DJ’s ‘nugget of information’. Sun and Moon had lured him into your room to set off the bomb you had placed in your room in Chapter 3; ‘After all, you needed to leave a little gift behind for if Sun decides to investigate your old apartment. Whether or not they noticed that you never returned there didn’t matter to you.’ It was meant for Sun and he knew you probably set up a trap with the amount of documents you left behind.

After DJ was damaged and disoriented, he escaped out of the window, breaking it wide open. The golden claw gashes in the window are, indeed, not from DJ, but actually from Sun, waaay back in Chapter 2, later explained in Chapter 3. You had thrown the guy out of the window, and you could imagine, he wasn’t getting evicted without a fight. Why he didn't beat Heavenly up and kidnap them there, was because he wasn’t expecting them to move. They were bedridden and sick, he didn’t even think they were conscious when talking to them. Plus, being in foreign territory, he didn’t know if they were going to whip out a pistol on him or something, so they had grabbed his neck, pushing him over (there’s a picture on my Tumblr of how he’s oriented on their bed). 

But, no, Sun wasn’t there, ready to pick DJ up, as stupid of an idea that would be. No, DJ found out where the lab was. In Chapter 4, Moon had rubbed it into DJ’s face about finding information about Heavenly without his help, and DJ so curiously says, “...you’re a little harder to pin down…so much for makin’ a ‘name’.” . He does end up looking into them and since he’s the professional, he actually finds out some interesting things about them, which leads to him finding out things about Sun and Moon. Sun’s after him, DJ figures that he’ll get got, whistle-blows to Eclipse, but ends up falling into the trap regardless. Sun and Moon figure it’d be a waste to dispose of him, so in midchase, they experiment on him. 

DJ actually manages to fight it for some time after being released, but his memories scramble, also supported by Ballora, when it says her memories were corrupted in Chapter 3. This is shown by the messily scrawled words all over the buildings in his wake. Among this memory scramble are the most prominent memories of recent, as shown with the scrawls. If you couldn’t tell, the scrawls are all based on lyrics and/or poems;

‘I DREAMED I HELD YOU IN MY ARMS’ - You Are My Sunshine

‘I DON’T THINK ANYBODY KNOWS’ - Villainous Thing

‘AND THEN THE ///// FROZE YOUR HEART’ - (I honestly don’t remember)

‘HOW VERY SOON THIS SILLY LITTLE FLY’ - The Spider and the Fly

And since they are all related to you, the information about you had surfaced into one of the main bugs in the experiment, the ‘caveat’ (more information about that later). Finding Gregory because he knew about the experiments and had gotten away. Sun and Moon knows about this because it’s that knowledge that allowed them to do these experiments to begin with. They had an idea to do something similar before, but had partnered up with Michael to pick up where William left off. As seen in the end of the case, they weren’t very successful.

[The Caveat and the Samples]

It must’ve been very weird to hear Heavenly refer to the Afton Glitchtrap Virus as the ‘caveat’. A caveat is a condition or stipulation for something to work, usually in a warning if something is not upheld. A give and take. Experiments get superhuman strength and abilities, but succumb to the vulnerability of being controlled against their will. This project was coined by William Afton to see if there was a way to create a human animatronic, where humans could live longer with strengthened abilities, but humans under his control. This was called the Scooping Room project, because it involved scooping out parts of both humans and animatronics and fusing them together.

Originally William was planning on using his own children for the experiment, killing off the two weakest and youngest, hoping to also harden his eldest, to also carry on the Afton family. Killing two birds with one stone, you see. Well, it backfires terribly, in a way that wasn’t even Heavenly’s fault, a stray guard’s bullet from the manor’s staff hits an oil lamp, someone drops their lit one, spontaneous house fire.

Did William ever look at Heavenly as their child? Well, Heavenly certainly had some sort of parental view of him in some of their last thoughts of him; ‘Boss. Master. Father.’ (Chapter 5). And according to Michael, when he’s beating Heavenly up in Chapter 4, he refers to them as ‘Mischief Afton’, like it was their first and last name. Actually, all of the Afton members in the story at some point refer to them as ‘Mischief’. And the only actual full interaction that we have of them is Heavenly’s flashback when the Afton manor burns down. The first person they go to is William Afton and he sits there calmly, and asks Heavenly what he taught them.

Their internal monologue, let alone their own speech, doesn’t feature a lot of exclamation points, but there’s an obvious one after that question where they say and think;

‘“I love children, I loved them, like you taught me,” your voice cracked. You did everything he told you to! Why did he sound so disappointed?’ - Heavenly, Chapter 4

Of which is followed by, several lines ahead, established in laced sorrow;

‘“You had no remorse for their deaths. I had no remorse for their deaths. We did not love them, Mischief. We couldn’t feel love…Promise me two things…create within yourself a mindset that is full of love. Take pride in your work. Because all of that…will be you.”’ - William, Chapter 4

So, no. William was in the same boat as Heavenly, they both were raised to not feel love and when he tried to command them to, the way they did it was robotic and unfeeling, only performing an act of it because he asked them to. Because someone with a loving heart wouldn’t last long in this industry, is the reason why he, mixing with his work mindset, did away with Evan and Elizabeth, who already came out of the womb loving him. He disregarded them so much that he had to pick someone out to protect them, increasing their chances of survival. He chose very early on who was going to be next in line, by Michael being the only willing one. So why choose Heavenly to go out and find love, when he’s already trained them to be heartless and to kill two kids who already had love?

Heavenly could defend themself. Heavenly can take emotions and not lose their head about it. Something you see Heavenly do a lot is to let themselves take the emotion in stride when they have the chance. Instead of bottling it all up (they’ll do sometimes) or exploding it all in one go, they tapper it off like liquid from an eyedropper, until it’s all gone. Another barrier they use is just being stupid, they don’t know when things are supposed to be offensive to them, they just know that certain things will trigger certain reactions. No sympathy or empathy for what they’re going through.

So William uses that in hopes that Heavenly will go off, survive long enough to develop the ability to love, and be able to protect people they love. The plan was going to fail when he ordered Heavenly to do it, not telling anyone else that they would do that. While he originally was going to use it as building blocks for Michael, he knew if he let Michael live, he would eagerly carry on what he created, as seen with him in the future with Sun and Moon with the experiments. 

In Moon’s monologue in Chapter 5, during your recover after the experiment, he thinks this;

‘Michael doesn’t remember how it burned down, but his adamant searching gave Moon two gifts. The lunar animatronic actually ran into him while searching…cutting a deal.’ - Moon, Chapter 5

When Moon was looking for information about you was in between Chapter 2 and 3. Believe it or not, Sun and Moon had been conducting similar experiments but none of them had really kicked off until that interaction between him and Michael. That was a great reason why I had stretched this story out for as long as I did, so the experimentations made sense. The Celestial duo wasn’t able to make those corrupted abominations, as shown with the failure of Emmary Miles (they were going to turn him into an experiment, but they couldn’t shove anything through the cut they made, he died before it went into play). However, Michael had the information he needed, looking into using children to revive making remnant embedded soldiers for his use, planning on using the Celestial syndicate, then abandoning them later. 

However, if you read the passage after that one, you’ll learn that ‘...they weren’t even going to use Michael’s corpse…letting him rot in a containment…’ (Chapter 5), telling you that Michael did not make it and got icarus-ed.

Going back to Moon’s first passage, Michael wasn’t just ‘investigating why the house burned down’ like Moon was. Remember what I said about him using children for experimentations? Well, from his (yoinked) information, you need remnants for it to work. So he went into the burned house…looking for the remains of his family. At this point, they’re all bones, but enough to use them as remnants since their bodies were all laden into the manor, full of sorrow and regret. (was also making sure that Heavenly was dead, and then promptly saw that they weren’t)

And that being said, their bones have been used in the ‘remnant’ process! Grinded up and distributed, and stuff. Heavenly had a niche combination of all three of them, however since they knew these three, their souls didn’t clash against each other for ownership of the body, but knew to work together. “Oh, but I didn’t see William!” I can hear you typing. But, naw, he was there, as Elizabeth said, he was coming. Y’all will get to see him again (deep hee ).

That explains why Ballora and DJ went insane, since they were primary experiments with the William sample. William, while he wouldn’t panic and fight against his, what Heavenly calls a ‘soulmate’ (they don’t know what an actual soulmate is, but equated them similar to a roommate), the very weight and clash of his soul and mind against DJ and Ballora, who aren’t even human, didn’t have a fun time with it.

“So, why did Heavenly struggle with it?” well, Heavenly was right, making their mind run faster and burn more energy in attempts to wear their body, the souls’ vessel, out did buy them some time. But as mentioned, they had a combination of all three, and as shown with their last battle, they were adamant of keeping William from coming back. And, spoilers, thought the person they were fighting was their body’s physical hallucination of William, even though it was Eclipse.

‘Surprisingly, you haven’t felt any bashes or abuse in your struggles despite your obvious defying against his will. But you’re not going to look into the gift horse’s mouth…’

That’s Eclipse. He doesn’t attack them, simply holds them, and tries to make sure they don’t hurt themself. But they have an augmented body and all his protocols for them literally don’t work since he’s never seen them in a fight before, let alone seen them throw a tantrum. Heavenly’s screaming and this guy is tired and swimming in stress and desperation to get them back when they’re literally fighting in his arms. 

[Heavenly’s Affections?]

The story was not made to have a happy ending and to be unfulfilled (even though I made sure to secure any loose pieces to give you guys the full picture), but did that mean that there was nothing that Heavenly had for Eclipse? When they bound out of Superstar, their first thoughts are to look for Eclipse, to give him the reel. What’s on the reel? It’s a video recording. Sun was dealing with the documentation of it, as what Heavenly hears and sees before breaking into his room. It was the latest batch of experiments and the reports on Heavenly’s progress. It would’ve been very prevalent in fixing and stopping these experiments a great ‘headstart’ to give Eclipse before they’d inevitably get taken over by the caveat. 

Heavenly’s even reported saying his name under their breath as they bound around looking for him. The very start of the story, we’ve seen Eclipse even refer to them boldly, with, “Detective…darling…dearest.” . Context-wise, Eclipse still looked at them like a child. Maybe not like a minor, but (this is mentioned in the Valentines’ Special) had the mindset of seeing Heavenly as his kid . But what differs is that he’s trying to keep it a business relation, mitigating the familial relationship later on, realizing his affections. And it only develops from there.

In the Valentine’s Special, Heavenly does ask what love is and what kind of love the two of them have, however Eclipse is just getting to know about them, since he’s only known them for a couple of months in that story. In the first few chapters of the story, one of the key points of the plot is Heavenly’s coat, the gift from Eclipse. This coat is the only reason why the two even stayed interacting after Valentine’s Day, and one of the first things you learn about their relationship in this book. 

However, Heavenly doesn’t understand how love works without someone commanding them (Moon figures this out in Chapter 5). Heavenly functions at top efficiency because they recognize all the things that are going in and out of their head. Feelings of constant fuzziness or flustering is foreign to them and will attempt to expel them until they can identify it. They struggle with this and actually ditches the coat when it hinders their mental state too much, rendering their mental state back to normal…for a short while.

Heavenly doesn’t manage to figure out what the emotion is or what it means, but they relish in it in their escape back into the city, letting Eclipse flood their head and their resolve, to the point where the only guide they have is their instinctive locations, which landed them where they were as the high dies down. 

‘...you couldn’t find him and that made your nonexistent heart ache in ways that hurt more than all the experimenting you went through. You had the most wrenching urge to be held and comforted by Eclipse that it confused you. You missed him. You missed him so much.’ - Chapter 5

So, in some twisted cruel tangle of fate, they did, somehow, find a way to love him in their own special way, even if they didn’t know it.

No worries, though, they’ll get the hang of it.

[Heavenly’s Death]

As said above, Heavenly is dead. But the last line we have of them is ‘The violet in your eyes continued to glow’, right? What does that mean? Well, this whole bit serves two purposes; it secures a…well, it was kind of a red herring, but instead of inferring the death of Heavenly, it infers the takeover of their body by the caveat, and, well, what the caveat does to their body. As said, a great factor to why they don’t got batshit crazy, is because the remnant that they’re infused with knows them and they know them, as well.

Albeit, there are some descriptions of them in their last moments that show that their body was waning very fast; ‘...your body still shaking with familiar bloodlust, but not tainted with frustration feeling no nearby victim to torture’. Heavenly just got out of several harrowing battles, had escaped out of their containment prematurely, and hightailed back into the city. They’re tired, broken, and can’t move, and that’s what they want. They want to make sure their body can’t do anything, hoping they’ll fall apart, as a last ditch effort in their last moments. They are completely convinced that they’ve failed in their mission and in their final project to get a head start to Eclipse, as inferred by the lack of the reel and Heavenly’s body in the very end of the story in Eclipse’s POV, he never found the reel. They failed their last project and their first all in one go.

However;

“Wait, please, just a moment longer, Evan’s going to be coming back with a-” - Elizabeth, Chapter 5

Come back with a what? Come back with a guide. William, he’s getting William, although Elizabeth doesn’t know it’s William until Heavenly starts fighting their own system. It was Heavenly’s own intuition that kicked in that he was coming, which was true, Heavenly’s gut is never wrong in the story, so there’s your constant, however, they while their guess about them feeling them physically restrain them was reasonable, we all know that it was Eclipse and he was really there. 

Elizabeth's even convinced with that Heavenly was fighting against William when they rest, and they have this conversation;

‘Is he here, yet?’

“You’re asking that after all that fighting you did?”

‘He’s technically in me, right? Isn’t he going to take over me?’

“...Mischief. He already has you.” - Chapter 5

And that was the end of Heavenly, William having gotten them. At least, for now.

Lil’ fun fact tidbit (that totally isn’t gonna be used against anyone in the future), Heavenly, through blood covered eyes, describe where their instincts took them, as they felt some landmarks that somewhere had ‘ hoisted [themself] into the air’ , recognizing ‘ ledges, these buildings, these sloops, and curves’, and running into ‘what [they] think are pillars’. This is the bell tower that they escape to after Sun breaks into their house the first time. Of which, almost directly in front of this bell tower, is the police department. Heavenly dies gazing upon their workplace.

Ah, well, they don’t stay dead for long.

[Valentines’ Day Answer Key]

Heavenly’s card typed message has the word ‘ arrow’ italicized, indicating to look at the arrow in their hand, mimicking a cupid’s bow. On the shaft of the arrow, it says ‘ECLIPSE’S RAYS’, indicating you inspect his rays a bit closer.

On the smallest inner corners of Eclipse’s rays are small shapes. In the typed message of Eclipse’s card, the words ‘ all sides’ are italicized. There’s a post under the same tag that all these cards share, that gives a glyph translator, sorted via the shapes’ sides.

The shapes translate to ‘WHAT DID WE TRADE’, asking what Heavenly and Eclipse traded in the story. The options are the words written on the cards, above the cards’ addresses.

On the card with the word ‘Morals?’, with Sun and Moon, the typed message has the word ‘ lies ’ italicized. This one is a bit harder, implying you to inspect the ‘o’ in the word ‘Morals?’, since a cursive ‘o’ with two loops means it’s a lie.

The script on the ‘o’ says ‘THE NEWEST PART ON SUN’, referencing chapter 3, where Heavenly says they grabbed Sun by the neck and that he had a shiny replacement. This indicates you should inspect Sun’s neck, on the same card.

Sun’s neck says ‘Who is Moon’s Ex?’, referencing chapter 4, where Sun tells Heavenly that Moon and DJ had a nasty breakup. This encourages you to inspect DJ’s card.

On the typed message, the italicized says; ‘ past’, ‘future’, ‘description’ , and ‘chapter 4’. The first two words encourage you to look at clues from past loose ends in the story. The last two reference the description of DJ when Heavenly first encounters him, encouraging you to look at the parts of him that were described incorrectly.

The parts on DJ that were described incorrectly are his nose, and most importantly, his headphones, of which Heavenly describes as, ‘red cups’ connected by a ‘green cord’. Looking at his headphone band, it says ‘YOU ARE DEAD’.

Heavenly is dead by the end of the story.

Fun fact, Heavenly’s Valentine is supposed to look that crude, as the story constantly tells the reader, their handwriting is atrocious. But as the story also alludes to, they developed that style of handwriting from William Afton, since his was already sliding off the doctor deep end.

[Miscellaneous Inquiries]

What does Heavenly’s Valentine say? -It says ‘CURSE?’

Why did Sun become infatuated with Heavenly when it’s obvious that he hates humans? -Well, he doesn’t hate humans, per se, since he was trying to find ways to combine human and animatronic anatomy, he liked them in some capacity ( shivers ). It’s just this poor guy’s bar is very low , like stupidly so. He’s a mafia boss with an iron agenda with the villain backstory and everything, then he runs into the single most innocently dangerous person to ever walk the city, look at him without fear, get genuinely confused with him without fear-they basically activated some of his daycare protocol without him knowing. He just thought they were adorable and mateable.

Do the animatronics have…full anatomy? -Chapter 3, Eclipse’s Internal Monologue, like near the beginning of the chapter; ‘But you two weren’t…having sex! His own capabilities of performing such an act surfaced in his mind like a looming monster…’ . And if you’re even more curious, check out on my profile, the fic; Spicen the Deal. Warning, the art is a bit outdated, so maybe sometime in the future, I will put a better version within.

Are Elizabeth and Evan really ghosts or are they just hallucinations? -Nah, they real. I know Heavenly would believe a lotta stupid things, but nah, they right.

How did Moon and DJ start dating? How did they break up? -I…well, okay, so, when Sun and Moon broke out of the burning Superstar, they were on the streets, you see, they needed a place to bunk down. They weren’t immediately full of strategic spite and hatred (I mean, they were, but it was like unorganized). Poof, this decked out animatronic who can hurt humans and utilize technology they haven’t seen before swoops in and amazes them. In my head, it’s like a reverse version of Heavenly saving Foxy, except it would be like as if Foxy and Heavenly got into a toxic relationship afterward-yyyyeah, I don’t wanna think about. Thing of it is, DJ only cares about himself and doesn’t care if Moon falls behind when he was learning the technology and Moon did a impromptu ‘screw you’ and, yeah. To be fair, Moon was able to get out of that scuff pretty well without DJ, anyways.

And if you have anymore questions, leave ‘em in the comments, I’ll try my best to answer ‘em.

[Timeline]

• Eclipse is activated
• Eclipse, Sun, and Moon, are activated for the Superstar Daycare

• 3 yrs. Later, Heavenly, 10 yrs., was stolen out of a hospital by Vanny, Afton proceeds to raise them, Michael’s about 5, Elizabeth’s 2, Evan’s 1.
• 6 yrs. Later, Heavenly, 16 yrs., burns down the Afton manor, kills Elizabeth, Evan, and William, escapes into Naff City (Michael also escaped)
• 1 yr. Later, Eclipse escapes the daycare and gets taken in by former chief, sneaking out every week to get trained by him
• 6 mnth. Later, Eclipse becomes eligible to join the police, runs home to tell his brothers, was caught outside the daycare, daycare burns down by scared/angry grunts (who don’t like animatronics who can bypass protocols)
• Sun and Moon escape, saving all the kids, thinking Eclipse betrayed them, the grunts came a few days early to get money from the area, which is why Eclipse wasn’t there in time
• 5 mnth. Later, Eclipse being lined up to be next Chief, however, former chief dies of old age (no one like this)
• Around this time, Freddy Fazbear becomes mayor with his husband, Bonnie
• 6 mnth. Later, Eclipse fought his way to Deputy Chief
• 1 yr. Later, Sun and Moon solidifies the Celestial Mafia Syndicate
• Around this time, Heavenly runs into Foxy, who was caught spying on an illegal interaction and saved him
• 4 yrs. Later, Michael solidifies the Afton Mafia Syndicate from child ruling it for several years out of pure spite (the mafia is very traditional and Michael’s very evil right now)
• 3 yrs. Later, Heavenly joins the Naff City Police Department
• A little time before this, Heavenly finds Gregory in an alleyway, leading his adoption to Mayor Fazbear
• ~4 yrs. Later, Foxy, Ballora, Mayor Fazbear, DJ, Sun, Moon, and Heavenly die
• 3 yrs. Later, Eclipse opens Heavenly’s file back up

Based on this alone, Heavenly dies around the age of 29, when Eclipse is 22-ish, making him 7 some odd years younger, which is about the same age as Michael. The whole timeline here spans out to be about 26 years and 3-ish months (I think, but I could be mathing incorrectly, too). I didn’t know where to set the universe of this world, but if I was gonna set this in the 1960s or something, I’d run immediately into the 1980, which I thought was too modern for this story. However, in context, it coulda been heccin hilarious if Heavenly died in the year 1987/4/3. So, in my head, this was just like a steampunk-esque evolved world from perhaps around the 1920s-30s and up.  

Originally, all the animatronics were going to have steam coming out of them to lean into this idea, but I didn’t want to make steampunk the main attraction for this story, as I was trying to stay true to mirroring the original. Sun and Moon were going to be very unhinged. Like straight icarus-ing straight into the literal sun, there was going to be no remorse for their death, though looking at the comments now, I don’t know if them being straight up evil would’ve helped soften the blow or not. 

Anyways, I think that’s that, I’ll be seeing y’all in the next fic! I promise, there’s a more sweeter ending in this one, and I won’t be immediately throwing y’all to the pits. Who do y’all take me for? …oh, wait. That’s right. :)
