I want to say "tell me everything about thé au", but I'm kind of scared of opening that dam.
I want to hear it, but I also want to tell mine too.
There's too much thing I want!
😓😭
I’ve had to rewrite this title a few times, because I realize how big and complicated this thing really is once I put all my ideas into writing, I’m so sorry- 😭 (big explanation under cut off)
You don’t have to read all of this to get the gist, I suggest just reading TLDR to save time and the end. But hey! There’s a few HUGE paragraphs in here if you want a (sort of) in depth explanation.
This is honestly the second time ever I’ve put my ideas into words. I have a whole Google doc filled with an older version of the timeline that doesn’t fit anymore.
Basically, the only way he changes things is he gives a buffer between Dave (C.C.) and Mike, meaning that in one timeline or another he could theoretically stop the bite. But, the only reason why he can’t is because during the bite in my main timeline is because Freddy (Oswald’s dad) + Chica bully (Haven’t quite found a place for them yet) practically hold him down so he can’t mess with Mike + Bonnie bully (Jeremy fnaf2 + HW2 guy in the AU). Mike and the others don’t quite know how dangerous Fredbear is, including Nathan. Though, Nathan doesn’t think it’s a very good idea to put a kid so close to it, let alone in the thing’s mouth.

Silly Nathy boi sticks up for his baby brother
Spoilers! I haven’t quite revealed this yet, I don’t think.
Nathan also later on (about 1984, same year Charlie dies and the same year the first Freddy’s opens) he gets springlocked by the purple Bonnie suit because I head cannon that the withereds are retrofitted springlock suits. So uh, ouch oof his bones. You’d think that would deter William from ever using them but he thinks he’s too good to die. Like, somehow he thinks he’s sO mUcH bEtTeR and CoUlDn’T pOsSiBlY die to it like his ““idiot son””. But, obviously he eventually does. I like to think that William insisted keeping Fredbear because 1: he’s crazy but somewhere he still kinda cares about Dave in his own twisted way hence the “I will put you back together”, kinda like he’s an object that’s broken. (he thinks he’s a good enough parent, despite definitely not being one) and 2: I like to think he sees Fredbear moving or it’s eyes following him when it’s powered off and that kinda sparks his whole “oh shit ghosts exist”. But I also think he’d keep the Bonnie suit Nate died in, but Nathan wouldn’t really give any sign he’s there. He’d just kinda passively be there (which he’d be kept in the same back room where the MCI dies, so it gives him and Dave a reason to know what happened and ALSO hate The Yellow Rabbit). Kinda like a stitchwrath situation, where the angry one can move the suit but the calm one can see. For example Dave can see but Cassidy can *slightly* move the suit (due to it missing the endoskeleton, I like to think that after Cassidy possesses Fredbear [retrofitted into “Yellow Bear” or Golden Freddy, hence the color swapped bow tie and top hat.] she kinda goes crazy for a bit, being extremely aggressive until the endoskeleton is just taken out.) Which, leads me into the next thing. I like to make Nate Shadow Bonnie, which is like him just chilling, no jump scares. Which, makes him also shadow Bonnie in the fnaf 3 mini games. I feel like he’d befriend the MCI, probably minus Cassidy cuz he doesn’t like her attitude, or at the very least Jeremy because they could share Bonnie or maybe just because they’re both some form of Bonnie. The only reason why Nathan can practically go from location to location is either that they melted down Withered Bonnie to make fnaf 1 Bonnie or the fact he’s a free soul. “A what?” I hear you ask. Well, I like to think that certain deaths like Nathan’s springlocking or things outside of Freddy’s like natural death, where no one else was the outright *cause* of the death, means the soul isn’t forced to stay and right some universal wrong like the MCI getting their Happiest Day. He just kinda sticks around to help Charlie, but he is kinda bound to Bonnie. I feel like Charlie could have been one too if William didn’t kill her (obviously) and if she didn’t have a strong will to give gifts give life. Once fnaf 3 rolls around Charlie is like “Yo help me set these poor kids free.” And he’s like “Bet.” And starts gathering pieces of lore and shoving them together to Happiest Day them. I also believe in C.C. Receiver, so little man gets his birthday cake and so does the rest of the gang and they happily float off, but their agony stays behind. I genuinely cannot figure out where sister location is meant to go right now, I’m pretty sure it has to take place before fnaf 2, but after fnaf 4. I think fnaf 1 & maybe 2 take place before SL, just to explain why Mike looks like his dad gets mistaken for him. So, sometime between then more kids probably die to the fun times or they just get agony which later on creates Molten Freddy, Mike gets to experience the wonders of being a freshly opened pint of ice cream, aka being scooped. Yay, trauma! Mike dies, to which he tries to call William and William’s already dead so he leaves a nice little voicemail being like “heyyyy! I’m gonna fucking find you.” And then he finds Henry and Henry’s like “Kid! We’ve gotta find your dad, and kill him!” And Mike’s like, “yeah.. sounds about right. And my sister too.” Fnaf 6 happens, yay happy afterlife and UCN where Cassidy likes to kill William and the others like to poke him to annoy him or something.
TLDR;
Nathan gets springlocked and helps MCI cuz he’s a girl boss.
I had a pretty neat idea for how the Afton’s could be brought back, weather it be by Sampson (Charlie’s twin), Mrs.Afton, or Vanessa and the GlitchTrapMimic dude. They could pull a Charliebot or a Gregbot if you believe that (which I definitely do, but I never wanna expand this au into security breach or Help wanted, because that’s waaaay too much to keep track of.) basically, humanoid androids with blood guts and all sorts of fun stuff. Oh! And illusion discs too.
Im so sorry it’s so long and complicated I’m sure, but that’s all the bits I’ve put together so far. I honestly just prefer to keep the AU to when the Afton’s are alive to keep it easy, but Nathan does have a place and does actually die at some point. Definitely feel free to share yours too! ^^
