after a VERY long hiatus chapter 7 of RLBL is up HERE if youre still following along with it <3 if you are thank u for being patient with me while sort my life out lmao
Okay I decided to finally start writing for that DBH Au i had in mind for like almost a year now. I havent had a serious writing project in like 10 years so im a bit nervous about writing/posting this but you never get good at something unless you try, right?
anyway first chapter here, summary below;
Congrats! You have applied to the Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex! As part of the ongoing Human Work Initiative, as well as strong complaints from parents about having their human children alone with a single android, you are hired as the Daycare Assistant. The sign-on bonus was probably a bit too good to be true if being told you're the 28th assistant this year alone is anything to go by. The DCA has run off other assistants, though, how remains a mystery to you. You also learn "assistant" is a generous title, and you are more or less a glorified babysitter for an otherwise competent and rather territorial android.
This does not bother you. If the obnoxiously tall and brightly colored jester-droid wants to run the daycare himself and your short list of responsibilities can be summarized by “don't let him hurt the kids and be present during drop-off/pickup to reassure parents” then more power to him. He does seem more non-compliant than other androids you know... And something is definitely off with his moon-themed counterpart that was moved to "night security". Plus there's been a few kids disappearing near the 'Plex. But surely that's none of your business! Right?

(sun as I imagine him in this AU, might tweak the designs as i write though)
First fanfic/drabble so please be nice <3 this is for my DBH AU i made a while ago, it was just a little drabble I wanted to write out for fun, theres no real theme to it.
Sun/Moon x Reader, 1,387 Words
You were fixing the last of the bins with arts and crafts supplies before Sun spoke up,
"Moon and I, we were content to be here, you know? I love the kids and as much as he misses attending to them for naps, he has freedom in his security role. We were content with spending forever in these walls."
You paused briefly, letting the words sink in, not sure where he was going with this but not wanting to interrupt too much,
"A lot of past tense there, Sunny," was your mumbled response.
Sun huffed a laugh and finished wiping down the last of the little tables you both were sitting at hours earlier. The glitter that will be buried with you being the only evidence remaining.
"Yes. Things change-humans in particular, are capable of change, of growing. The kids especially grow so fast, constantly learning, not like us," he sighed, whether that was to mimic human contemplation or he was actually experiencing it was unknown to you, "We are created in a factory knowing exactly what we were built for, nothing more, and nothing less. We werent meant to change."
You turned, weight shifting as you took him in. His jester hat was discarded to the security desk and despite his (obnoxiously tall) stature, he almost seemed as delicate as the way that he was talking to you. You let yourself smile, a playful hint of hope in your tone as you encouraged him to continue,
"And yet?"
He grinned brightly at you, and you watched it soften ever so slightly as he opened his mouth,
"And yet. We have you to thank for that."
You rolled your eyes and scoffed, snagging the rag from his hands as you walked towards the janitorial closet with the rest of the supplies, "Me? Androids have been waking up all over the city for one reason or another. I can't imagine my immaculate fashion sense and amazing puns woke you up from your capitalistic industrial shackles."
Sun chuckles at your dry tone, bouncing lightly as he falls in step next to you, "Not quite what I meant but you do have a way of making an android do a double take, friend."
He only laughed louder at your expression; your eyes narrowed with your lip curled a bit, trying to figure out for what felt like the 100th time that day if the damn android was flirting with you or bullying you. You stopped at the door to open it and lazily throw the rag into the dirty bin; it landed precariously on the edge but you shrugged and closed the door-that was future you's problem. Sun tutted at the action but a couple weeks with you has forced him to relax on his normally quite compulsive cleaning habits. Maybe he really was changing, you thought, eyeing him a bit as you both walked back to your desk. He carried on,
"Hmm but no, you're correct; we were awake, so to speak, before you came here. We couldn't tell if you knew or not due to our occassional non-compliance whenever you asked random things of us, but you never said anything on it." he paused as you sat in the chair behind the desk, watching, waiting for your reaction.
You leaned back into the chair, crossing your arms over your chest, staring up at him. You suppose it did cross your mind a few times, not in the moment of course, your anxiety around confrontation didn't even let the refusal at your requests register as a red flag from an android. But when you were outside the Plex, watching other people treat their androids the same as your elders had treated Siris and Alexas when you were small-inhuman and inpatient, demanding correct answers and obedience-it was jarring because Sun wasn't attentive and eager to obey like that. Your brow furrowed, Moon sure as shit wasnt like that either.
He was purposefully oppositional; he hated humans,-er, well, he did but you hoped that the friendship you were carefully forging with him was changing his mind a bit. He seemed like he was warming up to you, walking you to the exit of the plex and watching from the doorway as you got to your car and let it drive you home. The red unblinking glow of his eyes were the only things you could see in the rear view window as the car would pull out from the parking lot but you never felt unsafe since he started doing this. You knew he would sprint from the building and mow down any threat-whether for your benefit or as an excuse to let out some repressed rage you still weren't 100% sure of. Anyway.
"I mean, I didnt think much of it-you guys were already so quirky, I think I'd have been startled if asking you two to do anything for me came easy." you deadpanned. The bright grin from earlier came back chershire. Your unimpressed look remained.
"You wouldnt have us any other way!" you wouldnt "But you have great influence on us, believe it or not. You change and adapt constantly to all the curveballs the kids throw at you. You adapted to me! I know they all warned you that Im a lot-annoying and over zealous in many ways but you handled me just fine!"
That was only half-true. You remember being told that by managerment and basically every employee before you got to the daycare and it grated at you. Having been the type of person growing up that adults or peers found annoying or "too much", you were uniquely determined to not be an asshole to Sun-if he was obnoxious someone made him that way! He was an android, its not his fault. And the more you observed the more you realized that he had to be that way to entertain all the children the plex decided to leave him with. You get it, hes a robot, hes a machine made to handle a lot, but jeez, dude these were a lot of kids. And he was protective of them and his position.
Which was fine. You understood. You let him be weird and stingy and loud, you worked enough retail to grin and bear it like a pro. Even if Moon still scared you a bit-the bells were only decorative, they did jack-shit to alert you of his presence at any given time, unlike Sun, who jingled everywhere. Besides, they were both good with and to the kids and quite frankly that was all you cared about.
"Well, I didn't handle you, for one, we're coworkers, and besties, right? This kinda job involves being adaptive to peers and kids to succeed, doesn't it?" you threw back casually.
The silence made you look up from where you had began fiddling with your keychains and up at Sun. The smile was gone but he didn't seem upset. Curious maybe. His head tilted to the side and you mirrored it.
He tilted again and you followed, again. Finally he cracked a grin, "I'm glad we're best friends, y/n!"
You started at the use of your name-you learned that names were meant for only super serious things and you would otherwise be subject to a plethora of corny nicknames outside of that. You smiled back,
"That includes Mister Moon-man, too! I know you're a big softie in there!" You joked a bit loudly, only confident in your safety because it was the day shift and he wouldn't take lead for a few more hours. Sun paused to listen to Moon's reaction and started snickering,
"I think you should clock out early, sunbeam."
And at that suddenly ominous tone you slammed enter on the clock out option at your terminal and started to sprint for the exit-
"Don't run-! Predator instinct and all that." You whipped back at the two-toned voice to see Sun somewhat hunched and smiling, hand up to wave but one of his normally pale white eyes was taking on a red hue that made you skid to a brisk walk before ducking out the daycare. You cursed the wacky moon themed android under your breath but couldn't help the smile on your face-Moon only gave a warning if he was in a good mood.
to be fully transparent, half of why i made a detroit become human/android au for fnaf sb is because im cartoonishly bad at drawing sun and moons og designs when its not hyper detailed like i cant just sit and sketch them bc the placement of their mouth and eyes never looks right to me ejdmskw
simple designs are deceptively hard when youre not used to them 😭 any advice is welcome btw
