Flower crown fit for a king by scarystickers

It's been a couple months since the events of what happened at the Mega Pizzaplex. Gregory freed Vanessa and she adopted him. Vanessa kept her job due to how much money she was making and how useful having that money was when taking care of a child. Vanessa is trying her best to take care of Gregory while still being traumatized herself. It's a process but hopefully she'll be able to heal, right? During the last month of school for Gregory he learned how to make flower crowns! This spirals to Gregory becoming fascinated by plants, specifically flowers as a whole and plans to give the animatronics a bit of nature since they aren't allowed outside the Pizzaplex. Or Gregory learns how to make flower crowns, goes to the Pizzaplex and is a chaotic child who gets bored easily and does research on flowers. He's determined to show the animatronics part of the world that they don't get to see. Meanwhile Vanessa still isn't over what happened while she was Vanny. Hopefully they'll get to heal from what happened and don't allow some sad angst to get in the way. - Copy and pasted from ao3 so format might be weird or it might have words in places it shouldn't or whatever

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach: The Novelization by VJ101B

Disappearances have been happening in the area around Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex. At first, Gregory thought nothing of it, but things change when he becomes trapped inside the Pizzaplex. Now Gregory must rely on his wit and animatronic ally, Freddy Fazbear (AKA Glamrock Freddy), along with security guard, Vanessa, to survive the horrors that happen behind closed doors. Can he unravel the mysteries shrouding the Pizzaplex or will he become the next person to appear on a missing person poster? DISCLAIMER: This is a fanmade novelization of the video game of the same name created by Scott Cawthon and the company Steel Wool Studios. I do not own the rights to FNaF, nor do the creators have any involvement. This was made mostly to serve as a love letter to anyone who's grown up with FNaF since it debuted in 2014 and a thank you to Scott who is now retiring considering he's retiring from the franchise, game development, as well as his entire career so that he can spend more time with his family. Also, since this is a novelization, a few changes were made to the events of the game, such as adding in more information and removing unnecessary puzzles, to make it flow better in novel form. This is completely unrelated to Glamrock Swap (The other Security Breach story I'm working on right now.). If you want to know what I'm talking about, read it to find out.

You're My Superstar! by Spud_da_Potato

Y/N has just landed herself a well-paying job at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex as the robotic technician, and she is EXCITED! She had no idea that she was going to become close friends with all the animatronics, and even fall in love with one of them... Intense awkwardness alert!!! Brace yourselves... 🤪 AAAHHHHH!!! This is one of my first fanfics, and I'm so excited! Sorry if you think this sucks, advice is always appreciated! 😁 (I don't own FNaF or any of the characters, full credit to Scott Cawthon for them (GENIUS)! None of the pictures or art is mine either, but if it is I'll tell you!)

Freaks [Cc x Gregory] by 0Creativity0

Gregory is a regular 15 years old student. He lives a boring, regular life with his not-so-lovely father. School is easy, too easy. Or at least when it comes to getting the best grades in a math test. Maybe because of his father's scary behaviour whenever he would disappoint him. Sure, Evan's life may be a little different, but is it really better? Born in a rich and famous family for it's popular pizzeria company, always having anything he could ask for, his life seemed like a perfect dream for all. Maybe that's why he never had the courage to complained about how much he suffered behind the gate of his big, full of lust, house. Or maybe it was his crybaby-like personality's fault. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TW: I don't think this should be considerate as a TW, but this story contains boy x boy. Also, this story may contain mature themes such as suicide and mental/physical violence. I'm not English, and I still have a lot to learn. If you see any mistakes, please tell me so I can rectify them! :D Edit 10/07/2022: The book is done, I'm going to cry, you all are amazing, I'm going to miss this, bye best friends! And good luck reading for those who didn't yet <3 hope you enjoy! Edit 17/05/2023: Holy shit this is old I'm glad people still enjoy it! Surely my most successful book, but definitely not the best I've done.

Burning Love | Bonnie x reader | *REDO* by Duckie_The_Fruit

Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was always a big hit with children. When you, (Y/n), were a little girl, you were in love with the animatronics. They roamed around the main floor, keeping lonely children happy. Freddy was your favorite, but you kept hopping between animatronics. It was Freddy, then Chica, and then Foxy. You never really noticed how lonely Bonnie was, but once you did, you pitied him, making him your final favorite character. When you were fifteen, a terrible murderer slaughtered five children in the restaurant, stuffing them into the suits of the animatronics. The place didn't close down, it stayed open but once the animatronics started acting haywire, they were kept on stage to never walk again. At 19 there was a job opening at the establishment for a new night guard. You had moved into a horrible apartment complex with a perverted roommate. Being desperate, you took the job at the pizzeria and had an interesting experience... Continue? •-• My last account Rookie_Waters got deleted. So, I'm re-uploading two of my most popular/recent fanfics on here, my new account. This was originally Loved. I changed the cover and name, and hopefully, it'll be better.

This was originally just all oneshots but then it started getting to many parts so I decided to make it a story instead This is a FNaF au as if Gregory was never a orphan ~ About The Book ~ Luna Emily was the eldest daughter of Henry Emily her childhood friend was Michael Afton. Later on in life they fell in love then decided to settle down and have a family of their own. They have a daughter named Isabelle and a son named Gregory. Soon Gregory gets lost in the Pizzaplex and his family starts to worry until Glamrock Freddy helped him find his mother. Eventually Gregory decides to return to the Pizzaplex and fix the damage he's done to the animatronics. That was until a new mission came up. Now Gregory is once again roaming the halls of the Pizzaplex at night but this time on purpose in order to finish his new mission.

~ A Helping Paw ~ (Glam Freddy x Glam Luna x Monty Gator) (DISCONTINUED) by RachelWeiler

Basically this book is my own spin on the FNaF Security Breach game but it has a lot of the same aspects if not all of them. The only difference is that I've added in my Glamrock Oc ~ About The Book ~ Glamrock Luna or also known as Luna Wolf is a rather newer attraction to the Pizzaplex. However she now knows everyone in the Pizzaplex and even crushes on Montgomery Gator. Luna is the twin sister of Roxanne Wolf but not identical. Even though she shares the same passion of racing she has a totally different look and is nothing like her self-centered low self esteem sister she only shares the same markings and outfit style but has a color scheme of blue and purple. In fact Luna only wants to help and she gets to do just that when a 12 year old by the name of Gregory gets lost in the Pizzaplex. She is determined to help Freddy get Gregory out of the Pizzaplex hopefully unharmed while the others along with her own sister and crush hunt her and Freddy down. However along the way something in her circuits sparks that has never sparked before. Luna had started falling for the Glamrock bear now she has no idea who to love. Will she choose to stay with Monty or will she move on to loving Freddy? ~ Read the book to find out more ~ - I don't own the characters besides my oc. The other characters go to Scott Cawthon and SteelWoolStudios - I also don't own the art unless I specify aside from that the art credit goes to all the amazing artists that did them ⚠️Warning⚠️ - Swearing - Sexual Scenes - Possible Security Breach Spoilers

Five Nights at Freddy's: Shadows Of The Past by DarkbeastPaarl

The finale of the Afton Curse quadrilogy. Two years have passed since Leo was introduced to the world as the fifth member of the Glamrock band. He enjoyed his time with his old friends, getting to know their current selves, helping them stay fine tuned... Getting used to the new threat of cyber attacks thanks to Fazbear Entertainment and its really shitty cyber security and trying to bolster it as best as he could. But nothing lasts forever. One too many incidents and an unexplained happening saw Foxy and Bonnie decommissioned and new animatronics joined the band. Montgomery "Monty" Gator and Roxanne "Roxy" Wolf. And although Leo misses his old band mates, he's glad to help the new kids find themselves. But one day, something happened while performing their last show for the day. Now, while trying to help a young boy named Gregory survive until 6am while a killer chases after him, Leo's life in the Pizzaplex and with his new family is now in jeopardy as old shadows rear their heads once again. The past doesn't control us. Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach and all associated characters are owned by Steel Wool Games and Scott Cawthon. Glamrock Leo and other characters to appear are owned by me.

Freddy and the Glamrocks (FNAF Security Breach AU) by XxMarastiaxX

Frederic Fazeli, after a long night performing at the local bar, returns to his van with the Glamrocks. They drive back to their motel for the night and Freddy stays behind in the van while the others head in to rest. While cleaning up the back of the van, Freddy finds something. Or rather, someone... Join a young android and a quirky yet familiar cast of characters from the FNAF franchise on their hijinks catering for children's parties. A/N: No smut, nothing gross, just some wholesome stuff with Dad mode Freddy. Mild mature stuff and later on there will be mentions of child abuse and some content that may be triggering. I will make note of anything major so you can avoid reading it when it happens. This is an AU I'm making, not sure if it's been done already. If there is a significant similarity to someone else's AU content, please do let me know and I'll add credits to them. I'm also not an expert on FNAF, so if I portray a character very inaccurately then I'm open to feedback. I'll mostly focus on the main cast of Security Breach, as well as some of the classic animatronics appearing as background characters. Dm me for read 4 reads!

"They Saved Me, Mike..." (FNaF Movie #1 Fanfiction) by AnotherPlebianGirl_5

(This is a separate AU from the original story where Max doesn't die)! As Max looked inside Freddy's mouth, still wondering where's the child, a hand shot out before her sight, but then... something grabs her and pulls her away right at the last second. All she saw before fainting out of shock was a ruined version of the same animatronic she saw... yellow with a missing ear... As soon as she left the torture room, she sees children, including the child she saw "inside of Freddy". She made a deal with them: come with Abby on the 5th night of Mike's shift from the "Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria", and they'll help her find her brother and his friends. Being the caring babysitter she is, she accepts. She's unsure if she made the right choice... did she? (I made this AU because she's my baby, and she was the kindest out of all of the evil ones, because she was forced to fucking get Mike in trouble, and because my bisexual ass sees her and suddenly imagined how life would like if she's my lesbian girlfriend [this is usual, even though I'm in love with a man]. This is my first story, so please no harsh words. Also, not everything is canon, some fanmade stuff is included, so keep an eye out on that. Without further ado (MY NAME IS ADO!), enjoy)!
