Excerpt:

“This is an authority chip,” Kizaru said, holding up the device. “It makes you, what do the kids call it these days? The daddy.”

“The kids don’t call it that,” Sentomaru said, with a weariness that suggested they’d had this argument before.

“You give them an order while you’re holding this, hmm? And they’ll obey. Scratch your nose, children.”

The Seraphim complied, some with more visible reluctance than others. The one with the plaid trousers stuck out his tongue. Kizaru slid the authority chip across the table to Hina. “Why don’t you try it? Be the daddy.”

She took the device and turned it between her fingers. Everyone’s eyes were glued to her, waiting. “Say hello,” she said helplessly.

“Hello,” said six childish voices at once. A seventh, louder voice accompanied them from the other side of the door.

“We’ll start with an easy mission, Rear Admiral, hmm?” Kizaru said. “Something with low stakes, few chances of going wrong. We’ll be sending you to Opportunity Island. A smuggler’s den, though it’s abandoned at this time of the year. You will tell the Seraphim to destroy it.”

Hina dropped the chip and wiped her hands on her trousers. “Hina doesn’t like this,” she said. “It’s - it feels wrong.”

“I told you we’d run into this issue,” Tsuru told Kizaru.

“The age-old problem, isn’t it?” Kizaru said. “Those who can be trusted to wield this kind of power don’t want it. What’s wrong, Rear Admiral?”

The Seraphim inspected Hina, some with curiosity and some with indifference. “They’re too much like real children,” she admitted.

“Giving them the likeness of people was a bad idea,” Kizaru said, still staring off into space. “Glue some eyes on a rock and people will give it a name. Make your weapons look like children and people will want to braid their hair and buy them candy. But what can we do about it, hmm? The die has been cast. We need your help, Rear Admiral. What will happen if she doesn’t help us, Tsuru?”

“If good people refuse the job, bad people will end up doing it,” Tsuru muttered. At once, Hina understood that this was the argument that had convinced her.

“Be kind,” Kizaru said. “Treat them like people, if you must. It’s not so different from ordering cadets, isn’t it?”

That's right. Our "friend" Poe Dameron, being part of the Resistance and not having much to. . . uh. . . resist at the moment, appears to have created a pirate radio station to occupy his time. Which Katie has found.

Restraining bolt 16.1.22 Monty doesn't like Freddy. Until he does. Monty made a lot of assumptions about Freddy and his personality, then he finds out Freddy is forced to wear a restraining bolt and beneath the gut-wrenching horror he realizes just how wrong he was. Then he ends up learning things about their company's history he never knew. Freddy is being abused by the Fazbear employees and knows there are plans to scrap him. He's still associated with the old (murderous) face of Fazbear, after all.

Monty gets locked in his room 17.1.22 Gregory & Monty. Monty has cleithrophobia (fear of being trapped). He has a panic attack and Chica has to calm him down through the wall. This happens basically every night. Monty gets locked up because "he causes too much damage" but a large part of why his room is so torn up is because he's completly freaking out. The techs/employees do not care how much they're traumatizing him. (The other animatronics are programmed to not help him get out of his room.) Gregory lets Monty out.

Slave homunculi AU 18.1.22 Fnaf: Security Breach. Monty & Freddy. The animatronics are magically created and enslaved homunculi. Freddy is treated worse than the others.

Quirk AU 18.1.22 Fnaf: Security Breach. The "animatronics" are Heroes and slaves of the Hero Commission (ah yes, even more slavery in my AUs). They are all incredibly affection starved and touch-starved. Monty has been sent to work undercover as a villain so he doesn't even get the [adoring love] of the public the way the rest of the band do. When Gregory (street kid) hugs him/says he's a fan he near completely breaks down. Insp refs: [link1] [link2]

Another restraining bolt idea 18.1.22 Fnaf: Security Breach. Post-game. Monty is the one given a restraining bolt to limit his actions. The other animatronics are horrified when they find out.

Non-animatronic AU 18.1.22 Fnaf: Security Breach. The animatronics are anthros instead of robots, but they're still members of a slave race and owned and used by Fazbear Entertainment. Yeah it's another slave AU. But I mean when you've got sentient animatronics that's just kinda canon. Anyway. Just an excuse for me to write kinda-specific flesh-and-blood Monty angst.

sooo “Case 2-4: Farewell My Turnabout” absolutely slaps?? when was somebody gonna tell me? luckily, my husband, who has been playing through the original AA trilogy with me, has a giant-ass brain and so we figured out what to do with the only BTH Bingo prompt that had yet to be requested

enjoy a dramatic reading of Case 2-4...from Edgeworth’s POV

There is, admittedly, several years’ worth of a gap in Edgeworth’s knowledge of Phoenix Wright but even so, there is nothing that can explain the brazen man’s even more brazen behavior on the other side of the courtroom.

Wright acts and speaks in a way true to his name: like a man on fire. His moments of cool composure are few and far in-between. He has always been something of a force of nature, but now, he is a wildfire. There is burning desperation in him in every biting word as he reaches for any scrap of kindle he can get his hands on.

The Edgeworth of a year ago, admittedly, would have written his behavior off with a shrug and condescending tsk.

But the Edgeworth now—somehow, the same Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth who self-purportedly chose death—has in the same day, dragged a shot Franziska von Karma to the hospital, taken her place in the prosecutor’s stand, and come to the very alarming conclusion that while the verdict of Matt Engarde’s guilt in the murder of Juan Corrida should be cut-and-dry, somehow, thanks to Wright’s wild back-and-forth, it is everything but.

He cannot believe the morning has dragged out as long as it has.

I was watching The Weird Al Show on Hulu and discovered a 90s alt-rock band that I absolutely should have heard of before today but somehow hadn’t.
