I don't do reviews normally, but I recently stumbled upon a wonderfully written gem of darkness. A fanfic that captivated me and kept me hooked, drawing me deeper and deeper in with each passing chapter.
The story in question is Three Steps to Obsession by Kassykins over on Ao3. A Five Nights at Freddy's fanfic focusing primarily on a very obsessive, Yandere Sun and Moon. It's a rollercoaster of emotions and plot twists that serve to tell quite a compelling story. I'm not normally a fan of long fanfics, typically keeping to shorter works but this was an unexpected treat. I can't go too deep into the plot without spoiling it as things really take quite a dark turn in the second act of the story.
In basics, the story is told through three different phases. The first act of the fic opens with the reader getting a summer job at the Pizzaplex and building a friendship with Sun and Moon. Building a bond over the summer, keeping in contact with the two via text.
The second act opens on a return to the Pizzaplex the following summer and things take a turn for the darker. The events leaving the reader running and putting the whole thing behind them after a series of events that leave them thoroughly traumatized.
The third act is set years later, the reader trying to put everything that happened behind them only for the past to come crashing back into their life in the worst of ways. Shattering any sense of calm, peace that the reader had found in their life.
The ending chapters of the fic felt so satisfying to read. I was excited to see the reader/protagonist get a somewhat happy ending.
Please be aware to read at your own risk. This story does get really dark and graphically violent in some places, but I 100% recommend giving it a read if you're a fan of dark fan works.
