After hearing devastating news from her caretakers, Michelle Mercia ran away from her orphanage. With nowhere to go, Michelle discovers a place she hasn't been in for a long time. When Michelle remembers her close friends at the Playtime Co. factory, she makes it her mission to find them within the factory. What twisted fate awaits her?
A little heads up: In my AU, the toys do age, and I might add a romantic relationship into the story. If you don't like it, don't read it. This AU will also have a Saves Everyone AU, so I hope you enjoy it.

Packless
In the close-knit town of Wetherby Hollow, being packless is a red flag. Omegas without protection, Alphas without structure-it's not how things are done around here. But Micah Thorn, a stubborn Omega in his mid-20s, has no choice. After their parents died in a car accident five years ago, Micah stepped in to raise their three younger siblings-two of whom haven't presented yet. Since then, they've been working two jobs, dodging social services, and trying to stay off the town council's radar. When a newly presented Alpha teenager-Jesse Hale-is dropped off like unwanted baggage by his wealthy, neglectful parents, Micah is roped into fostering him "temporarily." Jesse is quiet, damaged, and angry- but not dangerous. Just lost. Then his older brother shows up. WARNINGS Mpreg, MXM love, very graphic gay sex, Childbirth via the anus (Also very graphic), Sex scenes, self harm(Not much), mentions of grape, PTSD, Hallucinations, bad language, discrimination, threat, major character death (Only like two characters, it's fine). I'll put warnings in the chapters where these occur, so if you can skip- although you might be a little lost because these tie into the plot. My characters views or actions do not reflect my own, this is purely fiction that does reflect real life situations (Except for the mpreg, unfortunately)so i try to be mindful and respectful. I also just write about these things because I find it interesting. That is it and that is all. Enjoy #1 in #smalltown
A Puppy's Dream Shield
When ''The Smiling Critters'' got added into playcare, there were only seven of them: Hoppy Hopscotch, Kickin Chickin, Crafty Corn, Bobby Bearhug, Bubba Bubbaphant, Picky Piggy, and DogDay. Before they got added into Playcare, they went through a series of tests to check if they really got what it takes to take care of children in an orphanage. After a few weeks of getting used to eachother, they heard the intercom turn on with a man behind it telling everyone that the ''Smiling Critters'' was a HUGE success, and that they have an announcement to make to all of them. ...And what they heard shocked them all... So with the two new scents of Lavender and Valerian. Will they all get along? ''They should not have any memory of the procedure, but everything before that is still intact'' ''But we must forge onwards in the name of science'' ''Weather those who are beneath us understand it or not, END OF-'' I don't own any characters mentioned in this story except for my own oc just to make that clear. The characters are from ''Poppy Playtime'' (Chapter 3 specifically), by Mob Entertainment.Complete
