This AU takes place in the game universe, with elements of the books sprinkled throughout. Here are the major plot points/story elements to keep in mind:

Both Henry and Charlie are alive and well at the beginning of the story. 

Elizabeth/Baby is a full-fledged cyborg and essentially a little girl trapped in an adult body. 

After the missing children incident, Henry was going to re-franchise Freddy's but ended up selling it. He licensed and opened Junior's Pizza as a result, which featured the Mediocre Melodies Animatronics. Henry is successfully running this pizzeria in the story.

Charlie grew up in Hurricane- she moved house after Henry's divorce from her mother, but they remained in town.

Michael was institutionalized immediately following the Bite of '83 due to his direct role in the incident. When the story starts he's 24, newly released and searching for his father and, in conjunction, Elizabeth. This leads him to a couple of different Freddy's Restaurants, taking security guard positions in an attempt to find them. (Keep in mind that my timeline is different and the FNAF and FNAF 2 Pizzerias exist at the same time, with one owner overseeing both.)

Story Summary:

Freddy's is a distant memory to Henry Emily- at least, he wants it to be. He founded Junior's Pizza to forget, but his daughter, Charlie isn't so eager to leave Freddy's behind.  Her father carries on like it never existed, but Charlie remembers everything. She remembers the four animatronic characters that made up so much of her childhood- Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Foxy the Fox, and Chica the Chicken. She remembers the missing children incident, which rocked the small town of Hurricane, Utah. She remembers the years of pain following the incident, remembers her father selling the franchise to try and erase it. 

Now 19 years old, she helps with birthday parties and maintains her father's new animatronic creations at Junior's. Mr. Hippo, Happy Frog, Orville the Elephant, Pigpatch, and Nedd Bear make Junior's what it is- a real life fairy tale. But Charlie knows that the fairytale is nothing more than a facade. Her father is hiding something, and a horrific incident sends her searching for answers. What she uncovers is even more disturbing than she ever thought possible- and her father isn't the person she thought he was.
