10* Portfolio: She has so far written at least a dozen short SliceOfLife stories for [[https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/2d-bendy-au the 2D Bendy AU]] and they're all so engaging and amazing. Even better, she has no plans to stop! and she's also written for other alternate universes too, like Toon!Henry and Abel Angel!
11* Comment: I have gone through the entirety of them and it's safe to say that they're golden quality, aside from spelling errors. Bendy is adorable and sweet, and his familial relationship with Henry is even more so. The characters of each story are believable and absolutely delightful to get to know.

18* Synopsis: Henry finally has a way to stop Bendy. However, it ends up having a much different effect on the ink demon than what he had in mind.
19* Comments: Not only does it have an original plot that sounds like it could actually happen in the game, but the author really knows how to capture not only the characters, but the mood as well in a 'show, don't tell' way. Fair warning though, you might need a box of tissues with you when you read this.
20* As of now, the original fic [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/10673715 Breaking the Spell]] is a proof of concept for the entire AU, while the first 'proper' story in the series is [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/10833033/chapters/24044445 The Devil's Swing]]

31* Synopsis: After years of development hell, the "Bendy and Friends" cartoons are getting a reboot! Developed by a crew led by none other than the descendant of Henry himself, you jumped at the opportunity to take part. With a nerve-wracking audition at the HQ, you've waited for over a month to hear back if you made it or not. Today, you check your mailbox, and find a letter with the signature Bendy face on it.
32* Comments: I really like how the story is developing. Bendy and the reader (Y/N being replaced by "Micah" as a placeholder name to avoid taking you out of the story) have a nicely developing relationship and there is an entire backstory being developed. I like the ideas presented behind the relationship between Bendy, Joey, Henry, and other characters. Overall, well written with only some minor errors.

35Kid Protag AU by Twinkling Cupcake
36* Recomended: UgunsGrekaFans
37* Synopsis: What if instead of Henry, it was his niece, little nine-year old Mary, who went to the studio?
38* Comments: The idea might seem a bit odd, but it is actually pretty interesting. Aside from little Mary, we also have a Cute!Bendy to assist her. Author has stated that things will diverge from end of Chapter 2 onwards, so that this isn't JUST a 'BATIM-with-a-kid-instead-of-Henry' kind of story.

45* Recommended by: TheOtakuNinja
46* Comments: An interesting AU in which Henry is [[ToonTransformation transformed into a cartoon]] after falling through some ink and gains toon-like abilities. He'll certainly need it, considering what's waiting for him in the studio...

70* Crossover: ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'' x ''Literature/{{Worm}}''
71* Synopsis: When locked inside her own locker Taylor Hebert goes mad. When she does though it's not a {{starfish alien}} that ends up in her head, but a dancing demon and his two pals. Locked inside her own mind Taylor goes to the asylum until the gift of a bottle of ink sets her free and lets her bring her friends to life. And oh me, oh my, does this band have [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Gaslighting plans]] for the traitors who hurt little Tay-Tay.
72* Comments: A fantastic and heart warming story of a girl making friends when the world itself seems hell bent on trying to get her down. Adn what friends they are. The antics of Taylor and Bendy end up a combination of hilarious and silly because real life cartoons are only different from {{eldritch abomination}}s because cartoons look cute.
