Fazbear gets into some legal trouble that nearly puts them out of business, forcing them to lie low for a while and shut the plex's doors to visitors while things are sorted.
In an attempt not to lose money, Fazbear had the idea to use their daycare attendant as a ‘home care’ attendant. Considering it was already reprogrammed once to look after small children, Fazbear thought, 'Why not?' A caregiver wasn't that much farther off, right? :)
Rebranded as the "Home Care Attendant"(™️)
…
Takes place after Security Breach, Gregory does not mutilate the other animatronics to be able to escape the plex/stay safe until morning.
This AU uses the idea of Vanny being the one to infect Moon with a virus that makes him hostile in the night.
But as Fazbear lies low, Moon finds he’s.. in control of himself again? And it stays that way as they are reprogrammed and fitted for their new job.
Sun and Moon got to coexist with each other without fear, catch up, and grow close again in the couple of weeks it took for Fazbear to get them all sorted.

Cut to one of Ci’s (my insert/sona/personal y/n) online friends seeing this ad for an in-home caregiver robot, ‘for any age!’
They know their friend has been struggling lately, even though she doesn't think so.
So one day there's a knock on Ci's front door and there's a truck unloading this giant ass box???
She tries to make her friend take it back cause ‘omg wtf how expensive was this???’
Said friend says too bad, the company they bought it from was adamant about no refunds, and they didn't need an in-home robot caregiver.
“If you rly don't need it, just resell it.”
…
Ci eventually accepts, at the end of the day, when is she ever going to be able to see a robot in person ever again, let alone own one? In this economy???
Especially as a former retail worker on unemployment, using art as a secondary income.
They had to sign a thick pamphlet of liability forms to be able to use it.
Ci skims and signs (we all hate reading terms, but girlie pls)
Comes with a, concerningly thinner, user guide. It’s as if it were hastily put together or written with the bare minimum legal content needed to ‘sell’ the DCA to the public and generate extra money for Fazbear.
As well as only a singular, fine print, Fazbear branding in an inconspicuous spot on their packaging.
Shit feels sketchy but there are also no refunds/returns.
“The HCA comes fully charged and ready to help you in your day-to-day life!”
That was a damn lie.
…
[Mini drabble for their beginnings below]
Ci squints at the vague ass instructions of this, intimidatingly large, robot that is currently sitting silently in the middle of her living room floor.
“So I just…” squints at the pages, “Wait, why do I have to plug it in if it's supposed to be charged?? Ugh, this is feeling more and more scammy by the second..”
She looks closely at the robot again, its blank sun and moon-themed face and well-built body.
“But it is like an actual fully made robot or- whatever, so maybe not?” Shrugs as she opens the back panel and connects its charging cable to the extension cord she had plugged into the wall.
Lights flicker but don't quite trip the breaker
“Oooo boy.. you take a lot of power. I better go unplug some stuff;;”
Comes back and looks the bot over, wondering and checking with the minimal instructions on how long this “fully charged” robot was going to take to turn on.
“Bro.. They shouldn't have even included these instructions if they were gonna be this vague about them-” eyes widen as she reads down, “ ‘charging can take anywhere between 5 and 15 hours???’ Ughhhh…”
Ci sighs, looking around, then looking at the bot, “You better be worth it,” she huffed, booping its flat nose.
…
It takes halfway into the night for Sun and Moon to be fully charged. And by that time, in the dark/very dim ‘candlelight’, it's Moon who comes out first, Sun's rays tucking in and his hat popping out.
They hadn't been turned on since Fazbear tweaked them to be what they are now. Why waste the power of a currently closed plex on charging animatronics waiting to be bought?
Moon groaned, body's joints stiff from lack of motion. Who knows how long Fazbear left them uncharged.
[[🌙: Ugh.. Sunny..?
☀️: I'm here.. are we..
🌙: Yeah.. I think so.. Oh- huh
☀️: What?? What is it??
🌙: I think I just met our charge.
☀️: Really?? Oh, I wanna meet them too!! Do they look nice??
🌙: That'll have to wait, they're asleep
☀️: Asleep?? Aww…]]
Moon looks down at the sleeping form on the floor in front of him. Hair tousled, cheek smeared with graphite from their sketchbook, as they breathed quietly.
Moon huffed.
They had no knowledge of the person in front of them or what they were like, but it wasn't in his programming to leave someone uncomfortable as they slept.
He unplugged himself from the extension cord and closed their panel. His metal strained as he stretched, flexing his fingers and such before gently and carefully picking up the short human, taking care not to disturb them.
In such a small home, it didn't take him long to find their bedroom. If he had a working nose, it would have wrinkled at the room's messy state.
[[🌙: It's a good thing you're aren't out right now, Sunny
☀️: What, why??
🌙: messy..
☀️: Mmmmm- 😣]]
Moon snickers quietly as he lays the human down in their bed, covering them with their blanket. Ci shifts slightly to get comfortable but doesn't stir beyond that.
On a full charge, Moon takes the time to poke around the home, while getting scolded by Sun about privacy and such.
And after tidying a little bit, at Sunny’s insistence, Moon takes a seat on the bay window in their new charge’s room, looking up at the night sky.
He was a bit in awe; they'd never really gotten a good look at the outside, having been in the 'Plex their entire lives.

Unsure if I will make an actual fic about this AU, but this is the world any art of my sona and the boys will be based in!
Thank you for giving it a read! ♥
