History Fanfic / JustAnotherNightAtFreddys

* BreakTheCutie: Bonnie bursts into hysterics when the animatronics realise that the endoskeletons they've been [[CruelAndUnusualDeath suiting up]] have been humans all along. Later on during the forth chapter of ''For the Fans'', [[spoiler:she's forced to reenact the Bite of '87 for a movie as the producers are under the belief that she was the culprit despite Foxy's protests, and she does ''not'' take it well, especially since she has to bite down on a dummy that bursts with a torrent of fake blood. [[PetTheDog Fortunately, this doesn't tarnish her new friendship with the young actress who played the bite victim, even after the animatronics are discovered not to be costumed humans.]]

[[PetTheDog Fortunately, this doesn't tarnish her new friendship with the young actress who played the bite victim, even after the animatronics are discovered not to be costumed humans.]]

** Apart from the animatronics' shared button of tormenting children or threatening their friends, Foxy does not take well to being touched or Pirate Cove getting damaged or otherwise altered, as does Chica to the kitchen.

* BrainFood: As per ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' canon, [[NoodleIncident the Bite of '87.]] Also, in ''[[BadassInDistress Competition,]]'' ultimately [[spoiler:[[AssholeVictim the way Christina dies.]]]]

* RoboticReveal: The audience knows right from the get go what the animatronics are, but not the officers who arrest them until they attempt to remove the costumes. While they're stuck in shock, the animatronics take advantage of the situation and hightail it to the mall.

* YankTheDogsChain: The animatronics finally manage to have their suits cleaned and their daytime lockup programs uninstalled after several traumatic [[spoiler:and carnage-filled]] nights, only for [[spoiler:their visit to the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizza leaving them utterly mutilated]].

** The same can be said for the original animatronics as of ''Five Nights at Freddy's 3'', where [[spoiler:they were dismantled by the Purple Guy sometime after Freddy's closed at the end of 1993.]] The pizzeria has also been open for nearly a decade after it closed in canon. [[spoiler:What their fate is following ''Just Another Night at Fazbear's Fright is yet to be discovered. Again, the story takes place 30 years after Freddy's closed down, and another fire immolated the place a week after closure.]]

** Also from ''Competition'', when Mike and Nathan are discussing why Trout was obsessing over Freddy's, especially the murders, Mike asks if Trout's the murderer's cousin. [[spoiler: In the next chapter, ''What Came Before'', the murdere is ''Phone Guy's'' cousin, who used the Golden Fredbear suit to lure the five children to the back and kill them. The first five.]]

** This is averted after the solar storm that takes place during ''For the Fans'', as while it switched the other's personalities it fixed Mangle's voicebox. [[spoiler:[[YankTheDogsChain For a while.]]

--> [Cue Freddy crashing through the doors of Pizza Baron the very moment Nathan finishes his sentence]

* TriggerHappy: Christina.

** This is averted after the solar storm that takes place during ''For the Fans'', as while it switched the other's personalities it fixed Mangle's voicebox.

* BizarroEpisode: The real third chapter of ''For the Fans'' takes place during a solar storm, and the animatronics' personalities are left distorted after an electromagnetic surge - Freddy becomes TheKlutz, Bonnie [[TookALevelInJerkass takes a massive level in jerkass]], Chica becomes a TeamMom who is ''exceptionally'' kinder than before, and Foxy loses his pirate accent and becomes a NervousWreck.

* CreatorBreakdown: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] with [[spoiler: the April Fools' Day chapter in ''For the Fans'']].

** Obviously, Mike doesn't die or get fired. [[spoiler:But that's not what this trope is referring to; it is revealed near the end of ''[[WhamEpisode What Came Before]]'' that Phone Guy is still alive. He had a heart attack at the end of the Night Four phone call, and the animatrons interpreted it as the endoskeleton breaking because they put too much pressure on it. They ultimately decided not to stuff him into the suit since they thought he was broken, and wouldn't be any good for the show. Phone guy survived the heart attack and is currently using the Marionette as a disguise.]]

* RealityEnsues: When Nathan and Phone Guy are tasked with testing out Springtrap[=/=]Spring Bonnie's springlocks, Nathan decides to test their sensitivity by giving them a light bump with some of his tools. The suit is immediately sent back to corporate when the internal devices violently recoil.

* TalksLikeAPirate: Foxy.

* FourTemparementEnsemble: The main four. Freddy is Phlegmatic, Bonnie is Sanguine, Chica is Melancholic and Foxy is Choleric.

* FourTemparementEnsemble: The main four. Freddy is Phlegmatic, Bonnie is Sanguine, Chica is Melancholic and Foxy is Choleric.

** Sure, Foxy has an incredibly short temper, HatesBeingTouched, and has attempted to kill several people, but when he realises [[spoiler: that Bonnie will be performing the Bite of '87 in front of the film cameras in Chapter 4 of ''For the Fans'', he rushes back to Freddy's to do the part instead of Bonnie, who is much more emotionally fragile than him.

** [[spoiler:''And inverted again'' with the Marionette, who speaks to the police by himself after Golden Freddy is arrested, stating Phone Guy was his favorite controller, before walking away.]]
* SadisticChoice: [[spoiler:In exchange for his family's safety, the murderer/Golden Freddy forced Phone Guy to help him with murdering a group of kids and playing KarmaHoudini.]]

* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: The policemen who arrest Freddy and co. return to arrest Golden Freddy.]]

** Obviously, Mike doesn't die or get fired. [[spoiler:But that's not what this trope is referring to; it is revealed near the end of ''[[WhamEpisode What Came Before]]'' that Phone Guy survived his heart attack at the end of the Night Four phone call and is currently using the Marionette as a disguise.]]
