Welcome to my Come and Get Me AU!! I needed a lil criminalxcop action in my life so i created this beautiful piece of content :D
Concept:
so basically, y/n gets caught up in a murder they didn’t commit and has been running from the police, although they were already being hunted down for a huge money scandal they were also involved in, so they were just having a doozey of a time. Two other (former) criminals, Sun and Moon, were dragged out of jail by the police department and were told if they can catch and arrest y/n they would get their freedom, so now they were on a wild goose chase to find Y/N.
Character Details:
Sun is your typical happy-go-lucky Sun in any typical universe, but he could definitely kill you in one shot, like bam, you dead. He’s extremely handy with a gun and has great aim and has fast reflexes, too. He wants so desperately to get out of jail, he took up the offer to find Y/N right away, he’s about ready to do anything to get freedom.
Moon isn’t quiet nor is he loud, he’s usually just very focused. He’s way more intimidating than Sun is, way more mysterious as well, but lighthearted giggles aren’t uncommon with him, either. Moon hates prison as much as the next guy, but it took some convincing to take up the job first-thing. But, of course, how would he get through without his brother to suffer with him in jail?
Y/N is a swift, cunning son of a gun. They’re handy with a gun, always quiet when needed be, and extremely good at escaping bad situations, except for the one murder they were framed for. But however focused on not getting arrested they were, they always loved a nice cold drink and a few laughs. They knew so many people around the big city, good and bad, it was hard to not be noticed by someone, so they kept in the shadows most days.
Eclipse… :)

Summary: Sun and Moon, former criminals, have been approached by the Carol City sheriff with a life-changing deal.
In the city, you fight to survive. In prison, you survive to fight. On one particularly gorgeous day, Sun laid on his uncomfortable prison bed, tossing a roll of toilet paper in the air repeatedly.
There was warmth in the atmosphere today, Sun hadn’t really thought about why, but today just felt… happier. Perhaps it was because no work or usual duties were assigned to prisoners today, although that usually stirred up boredom for Sun.
There was a continuous tapping of the day guards shoes walking up and down the cell line, making sure all of the captives weren’t doing anything mischievous. Sun was quite secretive with his mischief, all his plans and ideas hidden safely in his mind. He never got any ideas of breaking out, though. He knew Sheriff Johnson was smarted than that.
The phone rang at the entrance of this cell ward. Sun remembered that phone, it was firetruck red and only rung when someone of higher rank had an order for work. Sounded like everyone would be doing some labor today after all.
Sun heard the guard mumble a few things and then slam the phone back on its holder. His little black shoes tapped quickly and stopped at Sun’s cell.
“637,” He hollered Sun’s prisoner number at him through the white metal bars, “You’ve got a visitor.”
Sun shifted to his feet and walked to the cell door that had been unlocked. He was filled with glee, happy that someone came to save him from the boring square of space he was bound to for sixteen more months. He held out his hands and let the guard cuff him and then bring him away.
Silently, the guard led him through the plain halls, and then strangely, he took him past the visitor center. Curious, Sun thought. They stopped at security door about half way there and Sun saw his reflection in the metal for the first time in months. Although it was warped and changed by the curvature of the steel, he could still make out every feature of his face and every dirt stain on his bright orange flame colored jumpsuit. He found himself lost in wonder, so much so that he didn’t quite realize he was lead to a conference, and when the door was swung carelessly open, he locked eyes with his brother.
“Moony!” He gasped, overjoyed to see him robot relative. Moon just smiled toothlessly.
At the far end of the long, rectangular table was Sheriff Johnson and Deputy Vance, his golden retriever sidekick. That’s what Moon called him when the two brothers were once free.
“Sit down, Sunrise.” The sheriff said emotionlessly. Sun sat down across from Moon, “I’m glad you both came to meet us here on such short notice, not that your jail time is much affected.” Johnson chuckled as if his joke were at all humerus. Sun just nodded, Moon blinked. “We’ve gathered you two here to purpose a small deal of sorts.”
“A deal regarding…?” Moon interrupted.
Deputy Vance snarled, “If you would keep your trap shut you’d hear, bot boy.”
“Vance, act kindly. They are going to be our partners soon enough.” Johnson drew out his sentence, making sure each and every word reach the heads of Sun and Moon with meaning.
“Partners?” Sun echoed him, “I’m afraid I don’t understand.”
Johnson smiled, then said, “You see, we have a murder case on our hands and we haven’t been successful at catching the culprit, so we thought who better than you two to solve our problem.” Sun glanced at Moon who already looked by all means confused, “Allow me to get to the point. If you catch our suspect and arrest them… here’s their picture,” a photo of an average height person in a ponytail and weathered clothing showed up on the screen, “If you catch them, you can have your freedom. All sixteen months cut short. If you don’t take the deal you’ll just go back to your sells and continue on with your natural prison lives.”
Sun lit up with excitement. Their sentences cut short? It sounded like music to his ears, but when he looked at his brother, Moon seemed weary of the situation.
“We’ll allow you two some privacy to discuss.” Then, Vance and Johnson stood up and left the room, along with the guard that had brought Sun.
The two brothers just looked at eachother for a moment, then Moon said, “Sun, I don’t know about this…”
“But Moon!” Sun bursted out, “This is our chance! We can finally get out if here and all we have to do is catch one kid!”
“Yes, but using us as labor bots to catch someone? Isn’t that rather demeaning?”
“No! Of course not! Moon, I hate it here. It’s absolutely disgusting, boring, and- and disgusting! I would do anything to get out of this stink-hole and now my chance is here.” Sun held up his wrists in shackles, “I want these off, I want to wander free, I want to get ice cream, I can’t do anything like that here. Please… for me?”
Moon looked Sun square in the eye, and for a moment, considered going with his gut, then he flat out went against is, “Fine. We’ll take the deal.”
Sun jumped out of his chair and reached across the table, “Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Moony! Yes!” He attempted to give Moon a good hug, but with the binds around his wrists, it was quite hard.
About five minutes later, Vance and Johnson came back into the room and sat down, a neatly folded paper in the deputy’s right hand, “Have you resolved a decision?” Vance grinned, he already knew the answer due to Sun’s expressive smile.
“We agree.” Moon said, monotone as he seemed to be around officers of any kind.
“Fantastic,” The sheriff motioned for Vance to slide the paper across the table between the two bots, “Just sign both your names on the dotted line, please.”
Sun happily wrote his name first, now sworn into the deal, then he passed the pen and paper to Moon. He just stared at it for a few seconds, then picked up the fine-tip pen, and then stared some more. Was he really about to sign his independence away to be free?
Yes.
Moon signed with a reluctant hand and passed the paper back down the table, but not the pen.
“Excellent. It was a pleasure doing business,” Johnson cackled, “Allow Vance to take off your cuffs.”
The deputy unlocked Sun’s first, then went around the table. Moon turned his hands away, earning Vance’s frustration, but then he held up a perfectly unlocked pair of handcuffs, “Forgot your pen.” Moon spat slyly, handing his shackles and the pen to the deputy, who rolled his eyes. Then, the four left the room, two a little more free than they were before.
No one ever reads the fine print…
That was it!! I hope you guys enjoyed! This was just a little drabble thing to get the backstory all tied up before I publish the real deal. This can be found on AO3 here:
