Chapter Text

Danny was fourteen when he died. Fourteen when he failed his first class. Fourteen when he had his first kiss. Fourteen when he realized he was alone, the only one of kind. Fourteen when he realized he wasn’t, but the other one like him was twisted and cruel. Fourteen when he realized he would become more like the only one like him if he didn’t stop being 'immature'. Fourteen when he became a father/brother/cousin to his clone. Fourteen when he defeated Pariah Dark. Fourteen when the ghosts accepted him.

Fifteen when his parents rejected him, wanting to tear him apart molecule by molecule. Fifteen when he led a revolution against the GIW after Dani died in his arms. Fifteen when his hometown, his Earth, and the Infinite Realms were forever separated (when Jazz, Sam, and Tucker had to stay behind to live). Fifteen when he fully accepted that he wasn’t human, that he died, and those who haven’t experienced death could never fully accept the dead. Fifteen when his home became the infinite realms, and he stayed dead.

Sixteen when he found out he was the heir apparent, the prince of the infinite Realms. Sixteen when he still felt, looked, and realized he was still fourteen, no he could barely even pass looking thirteen since he died a week after his fourteenth birthday, and was smaller than all his classmates because he never got enough to eat . Sixteen when he found family again, in the ticking clocks and howling tundra. Sixteen when his powers became too great that even his grandfather Clockwork could not see his timeline anymore. Sixteen when he realized that he was still alive, and the land of the dead was fully killing him. Sixteen when his dad mentor Frostbite told him that he needed to live in balance, needed both the world of the living and dead to survive. Sixteen when his home and family was ripped away from him again. Sixteen when he returned to the living.

Here Danny was now, cold (not in the way that freezes and bites the skin, but in the way that one feels a hollowness inside and won’t ever feel the comfort of another being again) and starving and dying of thirst. He shouldn’t feel starving or thirsty, he's been fulfilling his obsessions, well one of them, he protected others, as was his duty as prince. He could truly never look at space when stars do not exist for the dead . He also got his intake of ectoplasm provided by the realms. 

Thus, he shouldn’t feel like his stomach is clawing at his insides. He shouldn’t feel his mouth watering when he smells pizza, he shouldn’t hear his heart beating . His black hair ( oh god why is his hair black! ) fell into his eyes as he looked longingly back to the now nonexistent comforting green of the portal back to the Infinite Realms. 

Gone was his home, his family. Danny’s breath quickened, and his heart rate picked up. It felt so wrong, too heavy, he should feel weightless - never touching the ground - not feeling the weight of his bones, feeling the pressure of gravity. He shouldn’t feel the too hot air prickle at his skin and fabric rub on his skin like needles. He shouldn’t feel his body ache instead of feeling pulses of power. Why does he feel like this? Danny gripped at his hair, straining as he felt like he couldn’t breathe, he doesn’t need to breathe , and his heart pounding into head, all sounds falling away to him as his (wrong, oh so wrong!) heart beat wildly. 

Danny tried desperately to reach for his core, to turn back into a ghost, but he couldn’t, he could barely feel its thrum beneath his skin. He was stuck as a human. He knew this, but before he was in the realms, the comforting shades of green comforted him, and the big soft arms of his dad mentor Frostbite confronted him and guided him when he first turned back into a human a month ago because his human half was dying, and he had a panic attack. He hasn't turned ( been forced ) back to his human half till now. 

Stubbornly, Danny refused to turn, choosing to die again instead , but his family wouldn’t let him and sent him here in a hurry before it was too late when he could no longer reach his ghost half. Frostbite knew he wouldn’t have been able to treat his human half anyway, since everything in the realms was meant for the dead and told Danny such. 

Danny’s body was trying to save his humanity by turning back since his body was dying again, his ghost half unable to keep him alive. Danny would rather lose his humanity stay a ghost and stay with his family instead.

However, neither Frostbite nor Clockwork were here with him, nor could survive long in a world with so little ectoplasm, let alone have the ectoplasm necessary to then portal back with opening one to get into the living world in the first place. Danny knew that he needed to be in the living world now after being in the land of the dead for so long to survive, that his ghost half could only keep his human half alive for only so long. That Danny would be on his own since no one from the ghost zone could follow him. That Amity Park was the exception, the only place to ever be so connected to the living and the dead, and now it was forever out of reach.

Yet here Danny was fully human, he could no longer turn into a ghost, and he was sent out for his own safety to the human world, because the infinite realms will kill those who are still living. He only has a backpack of his most prized possessions, and enough ectoplasm to get him started in this new realm without the need to get his ectoplasm from his obsession and from emotion of those around him for a while. Other ghosts can still get ectoplasm this way, but they need much more as they are full ghosts and not a halfa like Danny, and Ancients like Frostbite and Clockwork would need even more.

There were hardly any living items in the realms though, and with the haste to send him to the living realm Danny's clothes were what he wore when he was still fifteen and lived in Amity Park. They used to be baggy, but now they were practically falling off of him. Not to mention his human body that hasn’t been washed and smelled disgusting.

Danny could barely even feel his core, his power nonexistent. Instead, Danny felt pain all over his body, his gnawing stomach, his raw burning throat, and felt overloaded by how heavy he felt, and his increasingly loud heart, and short gasps of air. Danny grabbed at his chest, it hurt so much! Danny saw black mark his vision, wanting so desperately to see the green of the realms, or feel the warm and fuzzy hold of Frostbite, or the ticking of Clockwork’s lair and chest. 

Was Danny going to die? This didn’t feel like his first death where he was electrocuted, nerves alighting on fire, skin and organs melting, body turning to ash, his scream hollowing in the air as all he felt was the green, Green, GREEN of all the Realms crashing and fusing into him . ‘Maybe this death wouldn’t be so bad, and he could go home,’ Danny thought, as his vision faded to black.

— — — — — — — — — — — — 

Sun was tidying up his Daycare, the little sunshines all playing nicely today, when he received an internal message, "Samual Crook's parents are here to pick him up at the front of the daycare."  

Oh dear, Sun thought, his yellow triangle rays whirling around. Sammy just started his masterpiece and was using glitter glue! He wouldn't get to finish his drawing! Sun hands gripped at his face, hiding his permanent wide smile to show the appropriate amount of horror that Sun was feeling at the timing of the parent's pickup. Afterall, Sun checked his internal cameras and Sammy was still working on his drawing!

Maybe Sun could convince the parents to wait until Sammy finished his drawing. The little ones always felt so devastated when they couldn't finish. Sun quickly maneuvered over to the opening of the daycare, his bells jingling on the way.

He opened the doors, observing the outside of the front of the daycare which he rarely gets to see, as most parents pick their kids up in the daycare area to the side. This was Sammy's first time here after all, and the parents likely forgot or didn’t know. Oh, and Sammy's cute, dimpled smile when he landed in the ball pit for the first time really made Sun's day. He really was a little sunshine!

Sun saw a few people walking about. Mostly parents with their kids, but a few teenagers here and there and some human staff all on their devices. As well as some staff bots on the checkered floor of the Pizzaplex. What really caught his attention though was a pale, black-haired teenager that looked to be around twelve or thirteen in old clothing barely held together with a white t-shirt, and jeans almost falling off their too skinny body, and long hair that was all tangled and matted and greasy. That kid looked like they really needed a hug especially after they looked heartbroken after looking behind them, but Sun wasn't permitted to leave the daycare.

Sun's attention however snapped to the couple in front of him when a woman cleared her throat wanting to gain his attention, "Uh hum, we are here to pick up our son Samual Crook." A petite tan, blond woman in a blue business suit says. While the brown-haired, olive-skinned man to her right in a neat black business suit nods, his brown eyes glaring at Sun as if to say, 'hurry up, we don't got all day,' and proceeds to bring out his phone. 

'Great,' Sun thinks, 'impatient parents.' Sammy won't be able to finish his painting he's still working on!

Sun makes a clearing his throat sound, "Well, Sammy is actually still finishing his painting and he's using glitter glue, and I was wondering if you two wouldn't mind waiting a bit, so he can finish it." Sun says hopefully wringing is wrists.

The woman looks absolutely disgusted, her blue eyes glaring at Sun like he's little more than a bug, "Now I know you robots think you can boss around humans, but you can't, we are your creators, and I want my son here right this instance, and that abomination that I'm sure he made with glitter glue, of all the ridiculous things, can be thrown away." She fumes, her face turning red and muttering to herself, "And now Samual is going to be all filthy when he is meeting with our business parents' daughter tonight." The husband simply taps the phone and ignores what was going on.

Sun fumes, how dare she?! Sammy was really excited to get to use glitter glue, since he said he's never used it before. He stands up from his crouching posture that he uses around humans to appear smaller and less threatening, and looms over them at his full 7 feet (2.13 m) casting an ominous shadow over them. His bright smile now looks vicious to the woman, as she loses all color in her face. The husband is still blind to the world around him as he looks at his phone.

Sun was about to go off on the woman when he saw the teenager that he took note of earlier grasping his chest and looking like he was having a hard time breathing. 'Oh no, something is wrong.' Sun goes to step over the threshold of the daycare, when he gets an alert saying, " Warning you are not permitted to leave the Daycare." Sun however ignores that as his sensors are overloaded with, "Child in distress, assess child for inquiries. Child in distress, assess child for inquiries. Child in distress, assess child for inquiries." 

Sun steps over the threshold, ignoring the woman's indigent shouts, as the Daycare's heavy door shut behind him. He quickly goes over to the kid, scanning them as he gets closer, noting their androgynous features, and would make a note to ask about their pronouns later. 

Sex: female

Age: 11-14

Panic attack

Oxygen levels reaching critical!

Dehydration

Starvation

Burn marks

Electricity burns

Possibly more injuries, need more information

Child needs to go to the hospital immediately!

Sun tried to connect to the emergency contacts to call the hospital, but he was offline! Of all the times to be offline, why now?! Sun, thus, had to try and come the kid out of the panic attack first, as that was what was the most pressing at the moment. However, as Sun reached the kid, their eyes rolled back into their head, and they started the fall to the ground. Luckily, Sun was close enough to catch them before they hit the cement floor. Sun quickly adjusted his hold on the kid, so Sun's arms held under the kid's armpits and knees. The kid was alarmingly light for their height. The kid was 5 foot (or 153 cm), and only weighed 66 pounds (30 kg)! When the healthy weight range for that height for kids around that age is 97-123 pounds (44 kg - 56 kg)!

GRRRRRRR!!! Moon growls murderously before cutting himself completely from Sun. Sun feeling overwhelming rage before only feeling numbness from his brother. Sun pauses and recollects himself, what's important right now is the kid. He can worry about Moon later.

Sun just hopes that the kid will be alright. Sun looks down at the kid's face, what should've been marked by the round and soft edges of baby fat was instead hollow and marred with scars. 'What has this child been through,' Sun thinks horrified.

— — — — — — — — — — — — 

Danny blinks open his eyes, his head throbbing with the onset of light, and he puts his hand over his eyes immediately and groans.

"Friend, you're awake!" A cheery voice sounds above Danny, and Danny groans at the loud voice. 

Once Danny adjusts to the light he looks to where the voice is sounding from, not a word heard after Danny groaned in complaint. 

Where is he? He feels warm blankets surrounding him, and he blinks around the place and sees a robot? He has jester-like wear with red and yellow stripes and a face reminiscent of a sun, with half the face a lighter yellow. In all honesty, the robot looks kind of creepy, much different from Skulker's not stealthy punk vibe. Eh, Danny thinks this robot will fit right in the Infinite Realms, aside from the fact that Danny can't sense any ectoplasm on the robot.

What happened? Where is he?

Danny goes to question the robot (he really should stop calling him that and get their name), but that causes Danny to cough. His throat a Sahara Desert.

Luckily, the jester robot has a glass of water prepared, "Here's some water, friend." The robot's high pitched (masculine?) voice says softly.

Danny goes to shakily take it but can tell he can't support its weight. The robot seems to know though and holds the water up to Danny's throat to drink.

Danny takes in gulps of the refreshing water like air, but the robot is careful to go slow, so Danny doesn't choke.

Danny breathes in deeply, almost crying from relief of somewhat quenching his thirst and frustration of not even being able to lift a glass of water.

Danny clears his throat and questions, "W-who a-are y-you?" His voice sounds creaky from misuse and dehydration, but he gets the point across. 

"Oh, silly me, I'm Sun or Sunny, and I use he/him and they/them pronouns! I'm an animatronic daycare attendant here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria." The robot, now deemed Sunny, states happily, then they seem to get serious even though they are still smiling, "Here's some water, and please drink it slowly so you don't choke." Danny gladly drinks more water, contemplating what Sun said. He's at a Pizzeria, and in a daycare? Also, Sun's an animatronic?!

"Now who are you, sunshine?" Sune asks and boops the child's nose lightly.

Danny's face grows bright red, "D-Danny, and I use he/him pronouns." He squeaks.

Sun coos and exclaims, "That's an AMAZING name!" 

Danny nods mutely, his face still bright red, glad that Sun is so nice to him.

"Now friend, do you know why you are in the daycare?" Sun asks gently.

Danny thinks for a second, his mind blanks, and shakes his head.

Sun's triangle rays spin worryingly? If Danny is sensing that right anyways, and Sun says in an unusually soft voice for the cheery animatronic, "You passed out after having a panic attack, sunshine."

What?! No that can't be right, Danny hardly had any of those once he lived in the realms. His home. Then, everything came back to Danny: his human half dying, and having to leave the realms behind, his family behind.

Danny starts shaking, releasing little hiccups and whimpers, as he cries without tears since his tear ducts are dried out.

"Oh sunshine, it's alright." And Sun goes to gently touch Danny. The boy slightly flinches at his touch, but doesn't lean away, and Sun goes to hold the boy. The boy clings onto Sun, like a lifeline, and cries into his chest.

Sun hugs the boy back and comforts him with his warm body and soft fabrics while rubbing circles in the boy's back and telling him comforting words.

Danny's dry crying eventually subsides, and his eyes start drooping. His malnutrition and dehydration likely caused him to have extremely low energy and not stay awake for long. However, the boy needs to eat something before going back to sleep.

"Danny," Sun says softly, "You need to eat something before you fall back asleep."

Danny hums because too tired for thought.

Sun shakes Danny gently to get him into awareness, Danny blinks at Sun. "Sunshine, can you please eat something? I have some sandwich bites, pizza bites, chips, crackers, fruit snacks and some fruits and vegetables that you can try."

Danny pulls a face at the thought of vegetables, but he can now fill the void that his stomach has become and looks at the food Sun offered off to the side.

"C-can I try some Pizza bites?" Danny says hesitantly.

"Of course, sunshine!" Then, Sun gently gets up, gently pulling Danny's weight off of him.

Danny's face goes bright red, not realizing he was clinging onto Sun still. 

"Here you go!" Sun, but before he gives the plate of pizza bites to Danny he sternly says, "Eat very slowly, and chew it completely. I don't want you getting sick from eating too fast. Also, just eat until you're full, don't force yourself to eat more."

Danny nods, happy to oblige if it means he can get food and goes to dig in, but then remembers his manners, "Thank you, Sun!" And Danny smiles at the animatronic.

Sun squealed internally, that was too cute!

Danny in the end only got through 3 bites, before he had to stop. He felt frustrated, but more than that he felt incredibly tired.

"Mmm 'ired." Danny mumbles.

"Alright Sunshine," Sun acknowledges as the boy's eyes droop, barely conscious. Sun quickly and gently cleans the boy's face and hands with wet wipes, the boy not even seeming to notice, and places the plate to the side to take to the trash. Sun gently moves the boy to lay down on his pillows and pulls the covers over him. Once again infinitely thankful that there weren't many children today, so Danny was able to have this sleep area to himself, and the human daycare attendant was able to do his job, albeit slowly, and get the rest of the little sunshines taken care of while Sun attended Danny.

Sammy even got to finish his project and gifted it to Sun in the end! His parents had to wait a whole hour because of the emergency, and the human overwatcher could care less.

Luckily, naptime was about to start, and the lights would dim and should allow Danny to sleep easier. Also, his brother Moon has better sensors and should be able to better diagnose Danny while he is sleeping.

Speaking of his brother, Moon has been rather silent this whole time since Sun caught Danny. Sure, they don't see or hear everything about one another, but usually Moon would do more than growl, and then cut himself completely off! Oh, well Moon will be coming out any minute now anyways and would be able to watch Danny in his sleep and make sure he’s alright.

Lights Off.

Black fills the daycare, lit up by glowing stars.

The daycare attendant vivid yellows and reds switched to soft blues and grays, and Moon was in control. His red eyes glanced down at the sleeping child, Danny. He growls again, and keeps Sun blocked off from his thoughts. Sun doesn’t need to know about the evil and dark thoughts he has about who did this to a child. How could any child get to this point of starvation? Also, all those scars had to come from somewhere. Moon was betting on abusive parents.

Oh, if Moon ever got his hands on those scumbags, they wouldn’t be hurting any child ever again. He would make sure of it.

Moon signs, and watches the boy sleep peacefully, and goes to put all the other little starshines to bed. Luckily the daycare isn’t busy today, and all the other children will fit in the other napping area, so Danny can be alone.

After putting all the other children to bed, Moon makes sure to watch them on his monitors and makes his way to Danny, wanting to run a full diagnostic on him, but likely won’t be able to if his nightmare protocol comes up. He has a feeling the boy’s sleep won’t remain peaceful, and won’t be able to run that diagnostic, but he’ll try anyways.

Sure enough, when Moon gets there. The boy’s pale skin is plastered with sweat, and he’s whimpering and gasping for air. His crystal blue eyes shoot open and screams “Mom, Dad stop!” and he searches the dark room, not awake enough to process anything, but relaxes slightly at Moon’s red eyes. Moon quickly goes over to the boy as his nightmare protocol activates, and softly rubs circles into his back, and hums a toon softly biting down his fury at the boy's scream. The boy's breathing calms down, and his blue eyes close shut but tears still fall down his young face, as he falls fully back asleep.

Moon worries knowing the boy wasn’t able to cry earlier and is worried about the boy losing even more hydration. He also wonders how he was able to heal so quickly but pushes that aside.

Moon gently wipes the boy's tears away though, and swears that whoever hurt him will pay , especially the rotten people that the boy calls his parents.

Chapter Text

Danny saw his grandpa Clockwork's red eyes. The glow might be menacing for some and strike terror into their enemies, but all Danny felt was safety and love. Danny snuggled closer to his grandfather hearing a soft lullaby, his consciousness already on the verge of falling asleep again. Danny felt their machine-like body holding him close, so Danny could hear the soft ticks and whirs of CW's body, and his mind filled in the lacking ticking sound of clocks in his half-asleep state. 

Grandpa was comforting him after he had a nightmare about his parents , Jack and Maddie again, and Danny felt warm and safe in his grandfather's arms and closed his eyes to let dreams take him. 

The blackness of sleep turned into brightly lit stars. A myriad of colors and explosions in the black void of space. Danny was breathless, and he shot off, weightless and comforted in the entirety of space. He was flying through the stars, and exploring the galaxy! A smile fell on his face as he flew around the cosmos. Danny was free!

— — — — — — — — — — — — 

Moon really was reeling when the boy didn’t have any instinctive fear of waking up in his arms. Usually, the red glow of moon’s eyes had children in tears, and fearing a monster was going to get them. But no, the boy actually calmed down! 

Whatever the case, Moon was relieved and now that the boy was asleep and not having a nightmare, Moon could do a full scan to check the boy’s health. Moon’s red eyes went down the boy’s sleeping form and he waited for the information to compile and inform him of the boy’s condition. He also made sure to add in what he knew of the boy through Sun's eyes (he only cut Sun out of his thoughts and would still know what was going on in the daycare).

Moon looks at their data in horror. What has this boy been through?! Then, Moon thinks of the boy's nightmare. Danny was telling his mom and dad to stop. Did his parents do this to him?! 

Moon often dealt with difficult parents since he didn’t want Sun to see that, but when he came across abusive parents. Well, Moon’s solution was more permanent . If Moon ever saw Danny’s parents, he would be sure to enjoy their screams. The boy likely would have died if Sun didn’t catch him and treat him. Not even mentioning all of those old wounds that Danny has! How has this boy lived this far? Well, Moon would ensure that Danny would get better, both mentally and physically, and never go back to his abusers again!

Moon continued humming and holding the boy as his internal scanners watched the other children sleeping during naptime. All the other children remained peacefully sleeping, and even the useless human caretaker was sleeping. Useless, but at least the daycare was silent and peaceful. 

Eventually, naptime ended at 6 pm, and the majority of kids started to get picked up, and Moon switched over to Sun. Sun left Danny to sleep. Luckily the boy seemed to sleep peacefully for now.

There weren’t very many kids to begin with, but now only Danny remained. Danny whose parents still haven’t been heard from when Sun informed the human attendant what happened. It was now 8:50 pm, 10 minutes before closing.

Danny though still slept, the boy's chest rising and falling, his young face peaceful in his sleep.

‘Did his parents just leave him here, abandon him when he was dying of thirst and starvation?!’ Moon thought angrily as his brother Sun cleaned up the rest of the daycare. 

Sun hummed absentmindedly as they cleaned up the daycare. Sun wondered why Moon still cut off his thoughts, but they knew their brother was still there. Oh well, Sun knew Moon was probably just worried about Danny, just as much as they really were and continued to skip along the daycare and clean.

Then, the clock hit 9 pm and Moon switched out with Sun, and all was silent. There was no one nearing the daycare to pick up Danny and most customers were already out the doors. 

Moon unfortunately was still cut off from the internet, but luckily one of the human employees was still around, and Moon could inform them about Danny and surely get authorities informed of the boy’s criminal neglect and worrying health.

Moon pulled up to the human just as they were about to leave, startling the person something fierce when they saw ominous glowing red eyes staring at them.

“U-um, hello Moon,” The human dubbed Alex Ramirez from their name tag alongside they/them pronouns said awkwardly “H-how's it going?” They rubbed the back of their neck, nervously and nervously played with their curly dark brown hair.

Moon wasn't very impressed, but it was the human’s first day, and they were just a part-timer in charge of cleaning up in the daycare.

“It's going well I suppose, aside from the fact that all of the other human employees left 30 minutes before their shift ended, and one kid is still left in the daycare with no parents in sight.” Moon growls.

“But how are you kid?” Moon inquires, as he did infant notice that Alex was in fact rather young, and probably should not be working here, but well Frazbear's never really cared for legality.

“F-fine,” Alex stammered, “and I'm 18, so not a kid,” they said as their eyes darted away in a clear lie.

Moon hummed unimpressed. He would lift an eyebrow if his face wasn’t permanently stretched into an unmoving grin.

“Also, what’s this about a kid still here?” Alex asks, their brown eyes looking behind Moon for a sign of the kid. Their fear and nervousness around Moon seemingly forgot as they looked around.

“Please don’t tell me I have to stay here until the kid’s parents get here?” the kid whines, their hands dragging over their face dramatically.

“Of course not. Just as I said a kid’s still here, and well I’m disconnected from the internet and cannot contact the authorities and need someone else to do so for me.” Moon states.

Alex’s eyes go wide, “Really?! Um, well. Are you allowed to call the authorities? Don’t they have us sign something that says that we can’t?”

Moon scoffs, “Well they can’t exactly have a robot sign something for humans can they?”

“Well, I certainly don’t have permission to do so, and I really need this job man! Robot! Whatever.” Alex says tiredly, their eye bags more pronounced on their tan skin.

“I really just want to go home and sleep, so can you figure out what to do with the kid. I’m sure they have protocols for this. It’s just my first day, I don’t know what to do, and everyone has already left!” the kid stressed, pulling at their messy dark hair.

This however gives Moon an excellent idea, “Hmm, so you give me permission to do whatever I can to take care of the kid.”

“Yes, yes sure whatever, I give you permission .” Alex says tiredly and looks at Moon, “Can I leave now?”

Moon nods, “Of course!” His gravelly voice says cheerfully.

Alex gulps and whispers under their breath, “So creepy,” and makes their way out relieved they don’t have to stay any longer.

Danny wearily opened his eyes. The soft light of the Daycare filled his vision. Danny felt safe and comfortable and warm. He wanted to fall back asleep, but that's when he noticed that the environment around him wasn’t green.

He expected to see green around him, the realms chaotic and comfortable ectoplasm filtering around him, but he didn't. 

Danny started panicking, his breathing picking up. Wait he’s in human form. Why is he human?

That’s why everything came crashing down for Danny. He had to leave. He was portaled to the living realms in a different dimension than his home dimension, and he landed in a Pizzeria. He talked to an animatronic named Sun. Danny remembered their bright and sunny (ha) personality, but still it felt like a betrayal to all his other friends and family.

He can no longer go back. He can’t go back home! And this was now supposed to be his home. What can Danny even do, he’s stuck looking and being a 14 year old forever, or at least a very long time, since no one knows how halfas age.

Danny was just some freak caught between life and death, and even the realms of the dead rejected him. He couldn’t survive in the realms, and he couldn’t survive in the living world because no one could accept his existence aside from Sam, Tucker, and his sister! 3 people against billions.

And the other halfas weren’t like him. Vlad was more alive than dead. And Dani…

Danny choked up, she needed more ecto to survive and needed to be in the realms to survive. If only he realized that before it was too late. When she was too weak to fight against the Guys and White.

Tears started dripping down Danny’s face. Danny started sobbing.

He desperately wanted to feel the comfort of the realms around him, to be back home, and be hugged and comforted by Frostbite and Clockwork.

Danny wiped his eyes, he couldn't give up. He had to live for Dani. She wanted him to live.

Still Danny probably couldn’t stay in the Pizzeria forever. He needed to find a place in the living realm that had enough ecto for him, not enough for a full ghost but for a halfa to survive.

Danny tried to feel ecto around him (in the back of his mind thinking just maybe just maybe there was enough that he could still portal back).

Danny knew that the lifeforce (so to speak) of ghosts or denizens of the infinite realms was always around. Like it is in every corner of the universe, for in life there is death, but it was miniscule - like dust collected on furniture. 

It was there! But it still wasn’t nearly enough for a denizen of the realms (or to portal back). It was enough for a halfa like Danny to get by just fine, and probably even enough for a shade to survive. Danny shelved that thought for later (knowing that the living realms usually only had that amount of ecto in graveyards for shades to thrive).

Danny also had some extra ecto just in case (Frostbite made sure of it) packed in his bag. That’s when Danny's eyes open wide. Where is his backpack?

Danny quickly takes the blankets off himself and gets up, trying to find his bag.

Danny starts hyperventilating when he can’t find his backpack. It's the last thing he has. He can’t lose it. He can’t!

— — — — — — — — — — — — 

Moon’s smile widened in his mind. He had permission to take care of the kid, which meant Danny wouldn’t have to go back to those useless parents that are his parents. 

All he needed was permission from someone who worked at the pizzeria, even if it's just their first day. Whoever made that protocol clearly wasn't thinking, but Moon isn't complaining.

Moon knew the human authorities would do nothing, so Moon would have to take care of the situation himself.

Moon: 

You hear that Sun we have permission to take care of Danny .

Sun: 

That’s fantastic Moony! Oh now I need to make something for Danny to celebrate the news!

Moon would have smiled softly at Sun’s words and the feeling of Sun's pure joy through their link. Moon was happy that Sun could put their crafting skills to use.

Moon gracefully scanned the room, the lights dim still even at the 10 minutes interval of darkness for the hours passed, so Danny can sleep in peace.

Except Moon’s scanners warned him that Danny was awake now, and he was panicking. What was wrong?

Moon quickly made his way towards the boy, worrying that something was really wrong.

Unfortunately when Moon reached Danny, the boy was hyperventilating desperately searching for something.

Danny must've heard Moon approach and quickly whirled around to face him. Except the boy clearly didn't see the Moon, as his bright blue eyes were glazed over. Still the boy saw Moon's shining red eyes, and he smiled and his breathing calmed down, and ran to Moon, 

“Clockwork!” The boy clung onto Moon desperately, tears in his eyes “I-I t-thought I'd never see you again. A-and I don't know where my b-backpack went. A-and it has important things you and F-frostbite, and Sam, Tucker, and J-jazz gave me. I thought… I thought.” And by this time Danny was sobbing into Moon's arms.

Moon held the boy comfortingly, holding him in his arms as he sobbed. Moon wondered who this Clockwork was, and would ask the boy later if he felt comfortable after.

For now the Moon hugged the boy back, and Moon felt bad, knowing the boy must’ve thought he lost all his belongings and with it the memories of people important to him. Sun and he decided to bring the boy's bag to their room, and keep it safe because they didn't want anyone else, whether kids or staff, to touch or steal the boy's bag.

Moon should have known though that some kids like Danny want and need their belonging close, that their whole life can be packed up in a backpack.

Sun: 

Moon, it isn't your fault. We both decided to put the bag in our room.

Moon: 

But..

Sun: 

No buts Moon. We didn't think about it since Danny didn't bring it up. He was too exhausted and starving. The poor sunshine. Also, give Danny a hug from me too!

Moon huffs fondly in his mind and brings his attention back to comforting Danny. Making sure to hug the boy for both him and Sun.

Eventually the boy’s crying subsides and he rubs his eyes. Except now he can see who he was crying on with clarity, and jumps back, “You’re not Clockwork.” His pale skin heated up in embarrassment and he looked away.

Moon answers softly, “No, I’m not, but I’m glad that I could comfort you all the same. Also, your backpack is safe and sound. Sun and I didn’t want anything to happen to it and put it in our room.”

The boy nods hesitantly and sighs in relief. Except the boy's looks around confused, “Where is Sun by the way?”

Moon would have smiled wider if he could. He always liked to show kids their transformation, and see their awed reaction when he and his brother switched for the first time.

“Here I’ll show you.” Moon looked at his internal clock. There were 30 seconds until he and Sun switched when the lights of the daycare came back on automatically.

Danny stared back at Moon waiting for something. What for Danny didn't know. Danny finally lost his patience. “What's …”

Except that's when the lights clicked back on and Moon's dark blues and yellow stary fit switched to Bright yellows and red stripes of Sun.

Danny's mouth was hanging open.

“That was awesome!” Danny exclaimed. Jumping up and down.

“Why thank you friend. I’m glad you liked it!” Sun’s cheery voice said.

“So Moon and you share the same body! That’s so cool! Oh and it must be light based too! Oh, I get it! Light for Sun, and no light for Moon.” Danny's bright blue eyes looked at Sun excitedly.

Then, Danny frowned in thought, “Are you guys alright with that though, having to switch without control? Do you like sharing one body? Sorry, if I’m probing too much.” Danny held his hands together nervously. 

Sun’s and Moon’s mouth would have been hanging open if it was possible. No one’s asked how they felt about sharing a body, about having to switch without control.

Sun went up to Danny, “Can I hug you sunlight?”

Danny looked confused, but nodded.

Sun squealed and hugged Danny, “You are amazing!” 

Then, Sun backed off when they saw Danny was getting uncomfortable and let go.

“Thank you for asking us! no one’s even asked us about how we felt about anything, and you're just too kind. I couldn't help but want to hug you!” Sun said giddily.

“And to answer your questions. Moon and I don’t mind sharing a body as we’re both really connected and can share our thoughts, but we do wish that we had more control of when we switched, but we are really alright.” Sun answered.

Danny frowned at that, but conceded for now and nodded at Sun.

Danny hesitantly asks, “So if you guys can share thoughts, can Moon hear me right now?”

“We don’t always share what’s happening, but yes Moon is listening right now.”

Then, Danny nods and smiles shyly and looks at the animatronic, “Um Moon sorry I didn’t say this earlier since I was a bit overwhelmed, but thank you for comforting me when I was crying.”

Danny looks away, his face red from embarrassment. 

Moon: 

Tell the boy that it’s no problem and to tell him thanks, Sun.

Sun: 

Will do!

“Moon says it was no problem, and he says thank you!” Sun says happily glad his brother is getting the thanks he deserves for once.

Danny really is such a sweet boy!

Danny smiles relieved and starts to shuffle awkwardly.

Sun’s wondering why.

Moon:

He probably wants his backpack, but doesn’t know how to ask.

Sun:

Oh, you’re so smart Moon!

Sun asks, “So do you want to go get your backpack?”

Danny smiles relieved and nods, “Yes, please!”

“Alright so our room is up there,” Sun says pointing to a room above the daycare with a huge red curtain.

“And to get there we use some of the ropes that attach to our back to glide to our room. So if you’re not comfortable with us holding you and going in the air, we can go get your backpack and be back in a minute.” Sun explains.

Danny thinks for a second and decides. “I’m not afraid of heights, and I really want to see what your room looks like, so carry away, I trust you.”

Sun yells in happiness, “Alrightly.” and grads Danny securely while the line and rope extends to clip on Sun’s back to bring him up in the air.

“Ready Danny?” Sun asks.

“Yep!” Danny nods.

“And we’re off!” Sun exclaims as they lift into the air.

Danny’s smiles. It’s not quite the same as flying, but it’s still great to be off the ground.

Sun smiles in his mind, glad that Danny is liking it and makes his way across the daycare and into the balcony to their room.

“And we’re here!” Sun says cheerily.

Danny quickly zeroes in on his bag and runs to it once Sun lets him go.

Immediately he feels the familiar ecto in the bag and sighs and relief.

Except now that he’s feeling the ecto around him again he feels a lot behind him, and he looks to where the ecto is.

It’s Sun?!

“Why do you feel like a ghost?” Danny blurts out, and now that Danny can feel Sun’s ecto he also feels their emotions and can tell they are confused. And there’s a second ecto along with Sun’s, maybe Moon’s, that is also confused.

Great. Why did Danny blurt that out?

Chapter Text

Why did Danny have to say that they feel like ghosts?!

Danny starts rambling, “Uh, you know like since you are friendly like Casper, so you feel like a ghost?” 

‘What kind of explanation was that?!’ Danny internally screamed in his head.

Sun and Moon just feel even more confused, but also humorous?

Before Danny can try and come up with a more plausible explanation, though, Danny's stomach growls… loudly.

“Oh dear, you must be starving since you sleep for most of the day.” Sun exclaims in worry.

Danny almost signed in relief; thank you stomach for still being staving!

Wait, he’s been asleep for most of the day! How long was he asleep for?! Come to think of it, Danny has no idea what time it is, let alone the day or year that this world is in!

Did Danny really just panic and pass out as soon as he got here, and then just accept food and water from a previously unknown animatronic, and then just fall asleep again?!

Danny ignores that part of himself that tells him that he wasn't in the best mental nor physical state to think everything through clearly, and that things turned out alright.

Danny realizes that he zoned out and that Sun is saying something.

“-pizza-bites again?” Sun asks.

Oh, probably asking what Danny wants to eat since Danny's stomach made itself known.

Danny nods to Sun in agreement. Honestly, Danny would eat about anything right now, even Lunch Lady's meatloaf (which is something Danny swore to never eat again).

Danny smiles sadly, will he even ever see Lunch Lady again? Or any of the ghosts from the Realms?

Stop, Danny can think about that later, for now he just needs to build up his strength and gather intelligence, and maybe he can portal back.

“-Alright?” Sun asks, tilting his head to the side. The rays on his head were shrinking in anxiousness.

Great, Danny zoned out again. Danny just nods, his face red from embarrassment. He really needs to stop zoning out.

“Great!” Sun exclaims and skips out of the room. The red curtain opening and closing as they leave.

Wait! Danny tries to reach for Sun, but it's too late. Danny wanted to ask where exactly he was, and if he could go outside.

It was really starting to feel cramped in here. He hasn't seen the stars in so long. He wants to see the stars again. He needs to.

He doesn't realize his breathing has picked up.

Luckily, before long Sun comes back and sees Danny in distress. Sun sets aside the pizza bites. It’s not the most nutritional thing, but the boy needs food more than anything.

“Hey Danny, are you alright?” Sun asks, his high-pitched voice soft.

Danny looks to Sun, “N-no.” And tears start streaming down his face. Why was he stuck here? Why was he some half-ghost freak? Why couldn't he be normal? He couldn't even die normally!

Danny wants to go home. He wants Clockwork and Frostbite. He core keens, a high and unheard pitch to those untouched by death.

Why is Danny so emotional lately? Can he not get through a fucking hour without crying?!

Danny doesn't want to think that he's still just a kid (that he’ll forever be a kid), that he's lost his home, possibly forever. That he is alone.

“Oh, sunshine. Can I hug you?” Sun asks. They tilt their head when they hear a high buzzing from the boy but ignores it for now.

Danny nods, hiccupping and Sun goes over and hugs Danny.

Danny melts into Sun’s embrace, trying to hold back his tears. He hates how much he’s crying lately. He’s a teenager, he shouldn’t cry so much even with how much his dad Frostbite says it’s okay.

“Hey, I’m here. It’s okay to let go.” Sun whispers to Danny, the animatronics’ body whirring softly.

And Danny starts sobbing, just needing that little bit of push. Sun continues to hold the boy and tell him everything is alright.

Danny breathes deeply once he stops crying, and shakily says, “I-I’m sorry that I’ve been crying s-so m-much.”

“No, sunshine. You have nothing to apologize for. It’s perfectly fine to cry. Especially since you seem to be having a hard time right now.” Sun affirms Danny.

Danny nods hesitantly, and really looks at Sun. Sun is projecting worry-love-reassurance, and who Danny is assuming is moon is projecting protection-love-safety. Both animatronics have been nothing but kind to Danny since he’s been here, and well he has nowhere else to go. He might as well try to explain his situation. It might not have been very long, but he trusts them. He trusts them far more than he would ever trust humans.  

“Yeah, I-,” Danny starts but gets cut off by a yell from the daycare. Instantly, Danny's body goes rigid and is on high alert.

“Hey, it’s alright Sunshine. It’s just a night guard for the pizzeria. Her name’s Vanessa.” Sun assures Danny.

Danny relaxes minutely. Still, something feels wrong.

“Stay here okay, I’ll be right back, and we can talk some more, okay?” Sun speaks softly, “And please eat some pizza bites. I also brought some water and apple juice and some fruits as well, so feel free to eat whatever.”

Danny nods and watches apprehensively as Sun goes off with Vanessa.

Danny peaks through the red curtains of Sun’s and Moon’s room. He sees a blonde woman in a dark blue uniform who must be Vanessa who is leading Sun out of the Daycare.

Danny looks back at the food, his stomach growling in hunger, but watches as Sun now turned to Moon leaves the daycare with the nightguard. Something doesn’t feel right, and Danny doesn’t trust that human. 

Danny breathes in and he runs to grab an ecto-shot. The green glow lighting up his hands. It’s now or never, before he won’t be able to see where Moon and that night guard are going.

Danny hisses as he injects the shot in his arm, the injection spot igniting Danny’s veins green, and his eyes flash green.

Danny briefly feels the power of his core ignite and wake from its slumber, and he feels powerful and energized. However, Danny can tell that he is still very weak, and the ecto-shot even now won’t last for too long.

That’s why Danny will stay in his human form, in order to conserve the ecto that longest, even if his ghost powers are weaker in this form.

It’s okay, it only needs to be strong enough and lost enough to follow Moon and possibly get him away from that night guard.

Danny rushes to the end of the terrace and looks down into a ball pit. Danny knows that from this height the ball pit won’t save him, but it still brings his now racing heart down. 

Danny can faintly still feel Moon’s ecto signature, but it’s fading, and Danny is too weak to sense much more. He needs to go now, and so Danny steps off the ledge. Danny feels air rush around him, and the pulse and his core pulsing together in tandem, and Danny closes his green eyes, and he flies.

Danny smiles, gravity falling away from him and freedom pulsing in his veins. Danny, though, has a mission and he doesn’t have the time, nor the power to enjoy flying. Even as his core, for the first time since being in this dimension is pulsing and is happy.

Danny, thus, flies his way outside and reaches the large doors of the Daycare. Danny activates his intangibility to get through the doors faster, but as he is phasing through the door his core pulses in pain, and he falls to the floor.

Danny's eyes turn back to blue; he is shaking, and body is throbbing in pain, but he gets up and looks up to see where Moon’s ecto signature went. He is not going back now.

Danny’s energy is now super spent, and he didn’t think using two powers at once would be that hard. It shouldn’t be that hard. Nonetheless, Danny is still going to find Moon and he is going to protect him. Danny’s core happily agrees and energy shoots through him, his eyes flashing green.

Danny decides that he needs to run instead of fly to try and preserve his core’s energy. Still, his legs and lungs are weak, and hunger is clawing at him, but he at last sees Moon.

Danny reaches into his core and turns invisible. It is sad that it takes so much energy to do something that was once so easy, but surely it won’t always be like this. That Danny will get stronger again, and his powers will be back to normal. They will.

Danny inches closer to Moon and Vanessa, watching them walk down a large corridor, and Danny follows along, trying not to make a sound.

Danny follows as silently as he can in his human form. His steps light because he weighs next to nothing, and his breathing is as quiet as he can make it even as Danny strains to his most basic power.

Danny keeps the moon and the nightguard in his sights, but he doesn’t risk going any closer, fearing that he will be heard. 

They walk on black and white checkered floors, neon signs blaring in Danny’s retinas. Even if the pizzeria’s otherwise remains dark, as evident by Moon’s appearance instead of Sun’s. It’s still a lot. Especially compared to the soft yellows of the daycare’s light, but Danny doesn’t retreat.

He needs to protect Moon and Sun. He has to.

Danny feels his heart thudding in his chest, each breath fills and leave his lungs. The sounds of echoes of steps and whirring of lights. It’s so quiet, but Danny digresses that the place has long since closed.

Danny gets lost in his thoughts as he keeps walking forward. It’s weird to be alive again, to feel his muscles and flesh again instead of being an ecto being.

Danny’s taken out of his thoughts though when he hears the lady gruffly state, “Get in.”

Danny’s eyes widen when he sees the guard and Moon get into an elevator. Danny rushes forward, panic overtaking his cautiousness. He needs to get on the elevator with them, or he’ll risk losing where they went. He has no idea how many floors this place has, and he doesn’t have the energy to fly and use his intangibility to explore the whole place.

Danny runs despite himself, his invisibility over his skin like the weight that Atlas’ carries on his back.

Still, Danny runs, each step sounding like a boom of thunder in tandem with his heart.

Danny’s almost there, the elevator doors closing before his eyes.

If Danny can just reach! Danny reaches out, Moon’s star’s prints shining like a beacon to him.

And the door closes, and Danny thuds against it.

No! No! Noooo! This can’t be happening!

Danny breathes in, his eyes flaring green with his panic, his invisibility drops, and he doesn't care anymore. He reaches for his intangibility. Trying desperately to reach Moon. To protect him! To save him!

He can’t lose anyone else! 

Except Danny’s core screams in agony when he tries to access his intangibility, and Danny collapses on the ground. 

Pain throbbing throughout his body, Danny trembles on the ground too weak to get back up.

Danny feels tears welling in his eyes. He failed! He’s a useless freak that can’t do any right!

Danny’s breathing picks up, the cold floor sending shivers up his spine. 

Then, something bright yellows comes right up to Danny. Danny panics, and shakily gets up on his knees. His vision is swimming with blackspots.

Danny breathes heavily, salty sweat rolling on his tongue. Danny gags, nausea building in his throat, but Danny stays upright doing his best to stay calm.

He will not fail here, not after everything!

Danny’s vision finally stops swimming, and he sees that there is a yellow robot that has black words on it that says, “CAUTION WET FLOOR!”?

What? Danny blinks wearily at it, and still the little robot stays there, their head oddly reminiscent of Mickey Mouse ears and blank white eyes continue to stare at him. And it makes a high-pitched beep at him. Danny startles a bit but looks in their (its?) eyes (lens?). It’s actually kind of cute?

Danny suddenly bursts into hysterical laughter. The laughter aches his bones, but still he laughs, the tension leaving his body. 

Danny feels tears leave his eyes unwillingly, his laughter peeling off into sobs and he reaches for the bot and hugs its hard-shell body hard on the floor. Crying on the small bot’s body.

Danny sobs on the robot, “Don’t leave me! I don’t want to be alone!”

— — — — — — — — — — — — 

Moon definitely heard a thud when the elevator door closed, and it seems so did the nightguard Vanessa as she flinched a bit.

Vannessa growled, “I swear if this elevator is broken and I’m stuck in here all night, I’m going to be pissed!”

Moon just stayed silent, staring at the opposite doors from where the thud came from, not daring to move with a pissed off human by his side. Humans for some reason like to take their anger out on the animatronics, and due to Moon’s programming, he would only be able to submit to a Fazbear’s employ. Even if Moon doesn’t think Vanessa will do that, it’s better to be cautious.

Moon’s gears whirring uneasily in his chest still thinking about the thud when the door closed. It didn’t feel like the noise came from the elevator itself, but from something (or someone) hitting the elevator doors.

Moon just wishes that he could talk to Sun right now, but Sun isn’t allowed to do anything outside the Daycare unless it’s an emergency.

Vanessa taps her foot impatiently next to Moon, but otherwise the human does nothing and simply sighs in relief once the door opens.

Moon follows, and Vanessa turns back to Moon, the darkness marking his red eyes glow even more. Vanessa startles, “God, Moon, you really are creepy.” Then, under her breath says, “What were people thinking when they designed you?”

Moon chuckles, a deep staticky noise, and Vanessa makes a face at Moon, and scoffs, “Now you’re just trying to creep me out!”

Moon tilts his head innocently, and Vanessa rolls her eyes as they reach the maintenance room, “Well, let's get this maintenance check over with! Just step in the area and sit down. It shouldn’t take too long.”

Moon does as he’s told and walks into the maintenance area and sits down on the chair like he’s down hundreds of times before.

Moon looks out the reinforced glass to Vanessa, awaiting her to complete his maintenance. Except, when Moon looks into the night guard's eyes, there’s a dark glint in her bright green eyes, a dangerous smirk on the human’s face.

Moon instantly feels unsettled, and voices his worry, “Vanessa is something wrong?” With you goes unsaid.

“Oh nothing, Mooney. You just need some more work done.” Vanessa says in a higher pitched sing-songy voice. Much different from her usual tired voice.

The night guard giggles, “Now let’s begin!”

“Wait!” Moon yells, his arm reaching out, his mind instantly cataloging the human’s concerning symptoms. Something is seriously wrong.”

“Shut up and be still!” Vanessa says, her voice a low growl, much lower than should be possible for a human.

Moon can only comply, instantly freezing in place, as the maintenance machinery whirs to life around him.

Moon stays frozen in his own body, his red lens watching as the machinery comes down upon him and undoes him.

Moon can’t feel pain, but when code is uploaded into him, he swears that he feels like his wires are igniting all over and his metal melting into his mainframe.

He lets out disjointed screams as the foreign code invades him. A virus overtaking who he is.

Then, panic seeps in Moon’s wires — Sun! He can’t let the virus reach them! He has to protect Sun!

Moon finds the pathway that connects him and Sun, and he severs it as much as he can.

It feels like agony, the warmth of his brother gone, almost like they're dead.

Moon powers off.

And then the machinery stops, and Moon’s body falls like a puppet, the strings cut, and his body hanging on the chair limply. No life, no whir, nothing coming from the Animatronic.

Only the sound of shrill laughter heard around the room.

— — — — — — — — — — — — 

Danny clung to the bot weakly, hiccupping softly. 

Danny’s eyes were red, and snot trailed down his face. He let go of the bot though, and wiped his face, and said weakly, “I-I’m sorry.”

The bot beeped back at Danny, a small amount of ecto emotions pushed to him, like saying “it’s okay”. 

Danny smiled weakly, the small bot reminding Danny of a blob ghost. Ghosts that just naturally formed from excess ectoplasm, and likely with how much ecto there was in this pizzeria the bot was exposed enough to ecto to form their own sentience.

Then, a loud clang was heard from down the hall. Danny startles and pulls the bot closer to him for their safety.

Not that Danny could do much with how weak he feels, but he would sure try.

Clang-Stomp

Danny’s heart thuds in his chest.

Clang-Clang

Danny feels his core pulse weakly.

Stomp-Clang

Two glowing eyes light up the area, searing into Danny’s small form.

Danny tenses, his breathing stopping just like his heart.

He’s dead. He is not alive. GO AWAY!

Silence .

…

…

…

Stomp-Clang-Stomp

Danny lets out a whimper, his heart beating wildly with life as the figure increases their pace closer. Danny's breathing picked up, his head and body throbbing with pain.

The bot escapes his grasp.

Clang-Stomp-Clang

Danny reaches out in panic, his body trembling with extrusion.

Stomp-Clang-Stomp

The bot rolls quickly over to the intruder.

Clang-Stomp-Clang

“No!” Danny yells weakly, forcing his knees to move and crawl forward.

A large form towering over the area, an ominous shadow casted from the blaring neon lights.

Glowing eyes staring right at Danny.

Stomp-Clang-Stomp

The small bot whirs fast, reaching the shadow and gaining in speed.

Stomp-Clang-Bang

The small bot plows into the giant form.

“Stop!” Danny pleads, trying to crawl faster over to his new friend.

Bang-Bang-Bang

The small bot rams into the large figure over and over again. Trying to get it to go away.

“Please stop!” Danny yells, his body too weak to move any move. His body trembling violently.

Stomp-Clang
