tidal locked au (thefamousfilms and lunar and earth show cross over)
So this AU is based on the lunar and earth show. I don’t know if you know it or not. (Who knows how much overlap of these fandoms there is but if you like this maybe the overlap can grow!) It’s a branch of show to the sun and moon show. It’s not necessarily important if you want to go watch the episodes that I’m inspired by you’re more than welcome to. I will go ahead and put them at the end of this AU explanation.
So the way this au works is Bryan dies.
Bryan dies when pig patch drops an anvil on his head. (this is inspired by Nikolas over on TikTok.) he’s so more or less detached from his body and ended up attaching to a different body in a new dimension. A very familiar dimension if you know it. The lunar and earth show. This is inspired by the YN self insert episodes. I find them fun, but I think it’s even funner if it’s Bryan going through it. So Bryan wakes up in the new dimension.
The first thing he notices, he is not at the pizzeria. He is in an apartment. This apartment looks similar to the one back home, but everything is just wrong. Not by a lot. But enough. Eventually, he gets up out of the bed and he goes over the mirror to check out what he looks like and lo and behold. He looks like himself, but also wrong. His hair is longer. (Think coming down to his shoulders and having deep grey dyed ends) And his eyes were one of his eyes is the wrong color. It’s bright blue. (representative of the original Bryan that he replaced.) he has a little bit of panic about it. I mean, he’s in a completely new dimension completely knew everything. This is also when he learns he cannot talk. Something is preventing him from speaking. he tries to rationalize and reason and explain. The assumption his brain comes up to is this is all dream. Obviously he is dreaming he was hit on the head with an anvil obviously, he’s gonna be knocked out so he’s dreaming. It explains the way all of the issues.
It is after he is convinced himself he’s dreaming that a notification pops up on the phone on the nightstand. Some part of his brain says that’s his phone. He ignores that part of his brain. But he does pick it up to see what the notification is.
The notification tells him hey don’t forget you have first day of work at daycare lane. Bryan does not know what that is so he quickly doesn’t Google search. Learning that it’s full of animatronics. He goes. Oh yes, this is my subconscious way of incorporating my friends.
He decides to go to the location.
This is when he meets earth and lunar and Mars and some of the other others. None of these animatronics look like his animatronics.
So he starts to get a little worried.
over the course of his tour he starts to realize
There’s nothing familiar.
At best there is echoes of an echo of familiarity.
And he can feel everything
He only really realizes something is horribly wrong when he is standing outside of daycare lane, holding the piece of paper earth gave him. Telling him to call someone higher up and contest the fact that he was fired on his first day simply because it turns out the company didn’t actually wanna hire more workers.
it is at this point that he goes oh shit. I am actually in a completely different dimension.
Because Bryan is left questioning reality. Was the entire pizzeria a dream? Did he hallucinate it? I mean, there was a straight up portal to a different dimension. But he felt pain in there. So is this the dream? But if he used pain as an explanation for why it’s not a dream. Then this also couldn’t be a dream. He also had no memory of leaving a portal. So argo he couldn’t have come through a portal.
Brian then just kind of vibes in the new dimension.
He has a really bad time
Eventually, he ends up getting a new job and slowly things start to look better.
It took weeks but eventually. He came to accept that this is his real reality. He learned that this version of him had a brother. (because remember this is during season one before he learned that he has a brother himself.) and that his choice to try and end up in daycare lane was apparently a way to spite his stepmom.
About a month in a notification popped up on his phone, a dating app notification. He starts texting them. And they decide to go on a blind date.
The blind date ends up being lunar. Bryan’s almost colleague. Needless to say the date goes a little awkward. Bryan and him got chilis but they never get food. Then they decided to go to a movie theater and they’re only playing something they don’t wanna watch. Then lunar walks Bryan home but he walks him home to the wrong address. Lunar and tells Bryan to go knock on the door of this person’s house to ask for help because he’s not helping him. And walks away. Bryan deleted the dating app off his phone. When he goes up to the door of the place, it turns out it’s the same person that has been at the locations. Bryan had been on a date at. They threatened to call the cops on Bryan and Bryan. Can’t really explain anything because again he can’t talk. He can use sign language that he had slowly been learning. But he can’t talk to explain himself. So he runs off. Awful day.
And it only got worse when he realized he doesn’t have his keys or his wallet.
Bryan then has a little panic. It took a while, and it took a bit of humbling and asking. But he finally got access to the Chili’s camera to see what happened to his wallet because the last place he could confirm he had it was the chilies. He gets to see lunar stealing his wallet and keys in 4K. He’s pissed.
He ends up having to walk his ass to the daycare lane.
The animatronics are very shocked to see him there because they heard he was fired
Bryan then explains with his basic sign language that he’s looking for lunar
The animatronics point in the right direction
Earth is very confused, but says that Mars probably saw him last
He goes up to Mars in the security room and is like ‘ have you seen lunar’
It is at this moment, lunar walks in
Mars reading Bryan’s hands learn that lunar has stolen his wallet
The other animatronics come up to see what all the hubbub is about. Blocking lunar from leaving.
It is then that Bryan learns lunar had cut up his credit cards. His ID. His drivers license. And his Social Security card. As well as having bent both his keys and throwing everything out.
Offering to let them stay in the pizzeria
And helping them replace all the cards and things that they had lost
And this is how Bryan joins the cast of the lunar and earth show!
