Ik a bit ago you did a doodle of like eclipse gettin y/n to fake sick and stay in bed what if they (y/n) didn’t get out of bed when eclipse was up and y/n was sick theeen what?
(Luv ur art btw :3)
He suspected you were sick from the moment you were more tired than usual and started running a fever in the middle of the night
No excuses to your boss this time — nor any escape from Eclipse's care (づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ
Tell me your top favourite Daycare Attendant fic(s)?
I haven’t checked in with the fandom in awhile, and I’d like to reread fics I can hardly remember, or try out new ones I’ve never read. I want to hear about fics people are especially fond of. It can be robot or AU, doesn’t matter, just something to step back into the fandom with
embrace the abyss by @soupdweller is pretty epic oneshot. sleep paralysis "demon" au <3 perfect blend of sweet n creepy.
if ur hungry for angst and devastation, Unrequited Something by @sinister-sincerely is absolutely heartbreaking in the best of ways. we talkin' HURT NO COMFORT!!! they are also working on What They Were Not Made For, a vampire-esque AU where the DCA go unnoticed as sentient (& bloodthirsty ^_^)
STARVING FOR MERMAIDS?? check out Sing Me a Song, Siren by @rosescarletful for a lovely fic where they are all mermaids. Or perchance, @luckyyyduckyyy's Over The Deep End -- all the boyos personalities are so wonderful :D
HUMANS!!!! SLASHERS!!!!! @wyervan has started up a fic for their human slasher AU, Cabinet Man :3c
BACK TO THE CLASSICS!! @midnight-mourning's He's a Little Confused but he's got the Spirit takes ya right back to the Pizzaplex with a mechanic YN & sassy Sun, with a delightful ensemble cast
AND OF COURSE!!! any of @r0b0s-robos's fics are a treat, but I am particularly fond of their story, A Botanist's Guide to Not Falling in Love. Tis really sweet with a healthy dollop of hurt/comfort~
@anis-sketches's endling AU is lovely as well :3c here's a masterpost for more info & their comics!!
& A lil sprinkle of my bias, but @soupdweller and @sinister-sincerely each wrote fantastic oneshots for the Lovesick AU that I cannot get enough of rereading. Away From Peering Eyes & Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice!!!
Hopefully this keeps ya well fed, Im sure I can ponder even more if fellas are ever lookin for fic recs ^_^ 💚 Enjoy!!!
IF you are looking for amazing stories, @divinit3a (Dearest POM) is absolutely also a place for you to invest some time
They aren't just a talented Artist, but also a very skilled, amazing Writer
Just Keep Playing Along for example is one of their longer running stories! Think of Abandoned DCA with Horror and Romantic aspects. Reader insert is tasked with disabling the remaining Animatronics from the Plex so a re-opening may take place. But. The Animatronics (staring our Beloved DCA) are not ones to go down easily!
Will our Reader ultimately betray them? Or will their tender softness behind all the hurt and sharp edges bring around some mutual affection?!
Live Wire Fate is a Red String of Fate AU. Very FUN!
Our Reader here has always felt alone with their string being different than everyone else's' eventually, they think they are about to find their one true love! Just to be horrifically disappointed when it leads to an Animatronic Daycare Attendant that is a bit too eager to see them.
They have several other stories but for the sake of making this message too long I digress.
You will NOT be disappointed so check out their whole AO3 profile

second, no its not. i have written alot of one shots for the au but i never published them. I saw people upload comics onto ao3 but i dont know how to that works.
I also had friends try and get me to write a long fic based on endling, but i have a hard time writting anything over 1k. In general my writting is just not that good.
So um! This is sorta a big gift to the DCA community!! I got the chance to meet Kellen Goff, and I wanted to have him say some comforting words as Sun, Moon, and Eclipse! I tried my best to lower the noise in the background from the convention, so sorry if it's a bit rough in places!!
I don't really. know the "Rules" when it comes to stuff like this. Like I feel like I'm allowed to share this because I bought it but also I feel like I might get in trouble? I'm not really too sure, BUT if it does become an issue and I'm asked to take it down, I will.
NOTE
THIS IS NOT CANON DIALOGUE!!
This is just nice messages said by our favorite trio of jesters that I feel we all might need to hear on bad days.
Use however you'd like, I hope it helps brighten up someone's day
Oh! and the text for those who need it!
Sun: You're doing your best! Don't give up! We love you, Sunshine!
Eclipse: Remember to eat and drink, Dewdrop. We love you.
Moon: I'm so proud of you Starlight. We love you.
Love the au wanted to take a crack at writing something from it. :D
WC: 1192
Something soft for a snowy morning.
There is not much left to the library, with the ceiling caving in under the snow and the beams groaning in the wind, but its better than the bombed out mall. Besides, the entire left hand side of the building is intact. So long as you don't knock anything over, you should be fine.
"Good enough," you mutter, pushing the bike in. A cold metal hand wraps around your wrist before you can get very far - Sun's grin feels strained, digging his heels in palace as he peers warily at the building. Then down at your wrapped knee.
"What?" You look between him and the entrance. He fidgets with the bones of your wrist, taking a step back instead. "No," you retort, "We're staying here. I'm going to freeze if we stay out here much longer. " As if on cue, a bitter wind blows through and blows your winter coat sideways. You hunch in place, shivering violently.
Sun huffs in his voice box. "Fine. But don't blame me if a gust of winds drops the roof down and you can't run, friend." You roll your eyes underneath the goggles. He'd pull you out, you think. Who else is going to nag him to death?
The place is ransacked, as expected, but there's still a sizable amount of books littering the shelves here and there. Some of the couches are even intact, but the beanbag chairs are nothing but ripped fabric. You turn your bike around for a quick exit and listen to Sun screeching into Moon in the semi darkness. Its quiet enough that its empty, at least.
"This is a library," you mutter nonsensically. They would probably know what a library is, right? But each new place is a new experience for them after lying in the daycare for so long. Moon spins his face plate around to stare at you unblinkingly.
You stare back. Useless bags of bolts, the both of them are. You struggle to remind yourself why you keep them around, watching Moon approach you with his uneven gait. There's a rhythm on the ground now, without the snow the muffle it.
"Yes." He finally says, an inch from you. You peer up into his red optics. The little light flickers in the depths of his pupils as he scans you, then picks you up by the scruff.
"Hey!" You kick out, despite the fact that its very much useless - he holds you away from his chassis in a careful grip despite the sack of potatoes you seem to be. One particularly wide kick sends shooting pains up your thigh, ending your tirade in a gasp of pain. You grit your teeth to muffle it.
"Shut up," you mutter preemptively. You are sure Sun is lecturing you in their shared mind. "I'm fine. I just need to rest." All you did was twist it too hard. You can walk just fine, and that's what matters.
Moon continues to say nothing, ignoring you entirely to sit you down on one of the dusty couches. Its surprisingly comfortable.
"Knee…bleeding." Your brows shoot up in surprise at Moon's rasp, but he's right, the bandages are tinted in red. "Wait here." He leaves you to get the first aid kit, leaving you to huff at his back. It's only a little blood. You wonder, not for the first time, what must be going through their heads to have such a reaction every time you trip a little. Who cares?
"Knee flat." Moon pokes at your leg when he returns, snapping gloves on from the first aid kit. You flatten your mouth into a thin line.
"Save it for when I actually need it." There are still a few more days until you reach the next city. "You can use it if I slice my skin open."
Another battle of wills. You stare him down in his unblinking optic, catching his hand when he ignores you and touches your leg. His fans click on. Then louder, then his optic narrows. You try to move his hand, but it doesn't budge either.
"I'm fine," you try again. Your knee is starting to throb, if you're being honest, but the spot of red isn't giant and therefore does not need all of this fuss. "I'll just sleep it off, then I'll be-"
"Stop." The rasp is so harsh you cut yourself off in surprise. His grip has tightens on your knee, but not enough to hurt. "Just. Stop."
You quiet. Again, you wish you could know what runs through their code, as he stares at your stomach. You look down yourself, but you're wearing your coat and undershirt as always. They both stare at your stomach sometimes, but its a part of living post everything. You're always going to be hungry and stupidly frail. You're used to it.
He takes your pause and unwraps the bandages. Fine. If they're going to be a worrywart and waste things you're going to need, then fine. Be that way. They're going to regret it when you inevitably fall into a crevice or get scratched on metal and need stitches. You look away angrily, feeling discomfort boil in your gut. Careful hands reapply something, cleaning and disinfecting. You are wrapped up with gentle care.
Your hand is taken next, loose fingers unfolded to press a bar into it. This you rip off and eat without protest. Going to sleep with nothing to eat all day just sucks - but you can't bear to turn your head back, seeing that frustratingly empathetic face. He's a robot, his face doesn't even move, but being stuck with them for so long gains insight.
Once done, Moon leaves you be. The instinct to shout something insulting after him cuts off when he returns with some dusty old book.
"I suck at reading." You're not in the mood, anyway.
"Not…for you." Moon sits down behind you this time, adjusting you too gently to lean against his side. The edges of his chassis poke against your sides in a way that is annoyingly familiar to you. You frown. "Will read. You rest. Stop moving."
He beings before you can protest in his halting speech. Its some old book about some guy and something something detective work, going on about solving things with his friend. It sounds vaguely familiar to what you were forced to read in school, not that you remember much. It's blurry now.
You rest. The old world builds in front of you in your minds eye, with cars and smoking pipes. A warmed arm wraps around your shoulder in your half doze. Your knee throbs, but it's far away now, not as bad as it was. You still didn't need it, but perhaps you can sleep easier now.
Food and water, a pot of tea made without any effort. You can taste the tea leaves in your mouth if you try hard enough and close your eyes. It's better when you do, the goggles squeezing your skull pulled off and placed to the side.
You turn your head to familiarity, listening to Moon's voice as you fade into a dreamless sleep.
