History FanficRecs / FiveNightsAtFreddys

* ''Status'': Ongoing

* ''Synopsis'': A retelling of sorts of the games' main story - or, as the author puts it, maybe it's what really happened. Almost every character gets a short story of their own, and it fills in a lot of blanks. Has some attached tie-in photos in the notes, at least one video, and an official soundtrack (even if it's really a YouTube playlist). Nothing after UCN is canon here.

* "Synopsis": A retelling of sorts of the games' main story - or, as the author puts it, maybe it's what really happened.

* "Comments": A genuinely chilling and realistic read for the most part, and incredibly effective at pulling at your heartstrings inbetween. Deepens relationships, provides a detailed look into everyone's thoughts - the narrative is even interspersed with little interludes from their minds - and everything hits a thousand times harder in the games if you're playing with this in mind as the story. If you're a sucker for detail, not a fan of certain fan-theory aspects or are looking for a full explanation on the games' story, chances are you'll love this. However, it is definitely '''not''' suitable for younger fans. Contains swearing, explicit gore and violence in parts, and some decidedly hard-hitting horror inbetween.

* ''Synopsis'': An AnimatedMusicVideo of "[[Music/TallyHall Hidden in the Sand]]" which redesigns/reimagines the Nightmare animatronics, trading in the overblown robotic/decay aesthetic for a good ol' plunge ''''deep''''' into the UncannyValley.

* The Near siblings, in addition to having covered creepypastas like WebOriginal/JeffTheKiller and the Slender Man mythos, have recorded EXCELLENT voiceovers for the animatronics from the series. Their videos have been incredibly prolific and gained plenty of recognition from fans of the series, so much so that [[https://www.change.org/p/scott-cawthon-wb-voices-for-fnaf-movie a petition]] has been circulated to get them (and other prolific Youtubers) in voice-acting roles for the upcoming ''Five Nights at Freddy's'' movie. Some of David's voiceovers have also been featured in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLayLN1fn14 SFM]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrlsRuqtXOA videos]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkQN--F_hdU made]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gVI9T68lE8 by]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPC_R3m31g8 other]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuajMkURqk4 fans]] of the series. But be forewarned: Both David and Bridgette have mastered the art of [[NightmareFuel epically creepy voiceacting]]. (As of 2023, WebVideo/DavidNear has a page!)

* ''Comments'': The fic is largely a retelling of ''Security Breach's'' gameplay, but it does have significant differences, like how Roxy can see Vanny, some scenes involving Roxy's self-esteem issues, and [[spoiler: Freddy's involvement]]. The author also intends for the fic to have MultipleEndings, some rewritten, at least one new, as well as improve upon things such as Vanny's role and [[spoiler: Burntrap]].

* ''Comments:'' LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}}[[labelnote:*]]You're excused for thinking he's become the face of the series.[[/labelnote]] stars in this WebVideo/RandomEncounters musical, and his singing and acting are incredible. Youtube musician Music/NateWantsToBattle comes along in Night 3, and the plot begins to grow into something far more sinister that I could have expected. The songs are catchy, the plot is gripping, and it shows the best of what [=FNaF=] has to offer.

* ''Recommended by'': [=JadeEyes1=]
* ''Status'': Dormant
* ''Synopsis'': As the pizzeria burns down around him, Michael Afton closes his eyes…and awakens in 1983, as his living, 14-year-old self. Somehow, he's been given another chance to right the wrongs of his father – and this time, he will succeed, no matter what it takes.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into NotSafeForWork, romantic, or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

* ''Comments:'' A digital artist who utilizes in a photorealistic painting style. The art in them is incredibly detailed and easy on the eyes. She occasionally dips into the gory aspects, but she's still a work safe artist. She's also a part of the Fazbear Fanverse Initiative, working on POPGOES Evergreen. You know that her work is worth seeing when [[Creator/ScottCawthon Scott himself]] [[PromotedFanboy had her do art]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for the official merchandise]].

* ''Synopsis'': In the first song, Mike Schmidt slowly goes crazy defending against the animatronics, all while ironically repeating to himself to "stay calm", with the Fazbear Four themselves cutting in during the bridge. The second is a very simple, almost introductory song to the animatronics and their nature at night. The third song is about the night guard's increasing paranoia and anxiety as the animatronics close in on him. The fourth song is mostly made up of Bonnie singing about himself after-hours, interspersed with an announcer and someone -- presumably Mike Schmidt -- calling Fazbear Entertainment to report that [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Bonnie's flailing his guitar around as if he's trying to be Eddie Van Halen.]]

* ''Comments'': Each video is only a little over a minute long, but they each manage to be both [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]] and [[TearJerker tear-jerking]] (in both sad and [[TearsOfJoy happy]] ways) at the same time. Each video is animated well, and creates believable dialogue/interactions using only in-game audio, with the appropriate music to boot. If you can't wait for a "Save the Glamrocks" DLC (assuming one is made), then these videos should do the trick. Also be sure not to miss the adorably heartwarming pictures at the end of each video.

* ''Synopsis'': ''Cold Storage'': After the events of ''Five Nights at Freddy's 2,'' the animatronics are placed in [[TitleDrop cold storage;]] a young man named Jay is assigned to the night shift to make sure no one steals anything, and... [[CruelAndUnusualDeath the inevitable]] [[HilarityEnsues ensues.]] ''Aftermath''[[note]]otherwise known as '''''Purple Guy Revealed'''''[[/note]]: [[MythologyGag Michelle Schmidt's]] news report of Fazbear's Fright burning down is [[TheCameo paid a visit]] by [[BackFromTheDead the most unlikely person]]. Meanwhile, the Purple Man decides to do something... ''[[WouldHurtAChild special...]]'' for his birthday. ''Don't Cry'': The Child wakes up in his bedroom at exactly twelve in the morning after a series of blurry, vaguely nightmarish events. It soon becomes clear that [[YourWorstNightmare he's not alone.]] Meanwhile, [[spoiler:out in the real world, the Child's brother -- [[TheFaceless offscreen, of course]] -- and the two's ''[[MaskOfSanity loving father]]'' have come to say their goodbyes.]]

* ''Comments:'' A user from Hungary, her art is filled with striking colors, an anime-eqse style that is executed extremely well and ranges from spooky to adorable without clashing. She is also the writer of ongoing story ''The Missing Children Incident'', and has quite possibly the best interpretation of the Purple Guy (aside from his goofy-sounding name to English speakers). Just be forewarned that some of her [=FNaF=] art contains blood and gore, and some weren’t censored by DA’s mature filter even if they are mild. Aside from that, you know that her work is worth seeing when the [[Creator/ScottCawthon creator of the game]] asked her to [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome help out with the official merchandise]].

* ''Status'': In-Progress

* ''Comments'': Chapters range from pretty tame childhood drama to graphic horror (as graphic as T-rated can get, lol). The characters are given the spotlight and some characters get name dropped in one chapter, then you see them turn into the main character of a later chapter. Occasionally follows someone that’s set up to be the creator of the newer animatronics and has a history with the company that hasn’t been revealed yet. Chapters are pretty long and self contained little stories within themselves. Still early on in story but well written!
