cross cabins, dec 10th
hunter cross and ryan cross @dxrkenedheights
"Jude, stop kickin' that shit for five seconds." Hunter requested, watching closely at the tired soccer ball that bounced through the air. Sorry dad! It was precariously close to the five stacked crates Hunter was carrying, bottles clinking and chattering against one another as father and son made their way towards the cabin. It was easier to head into Ryan's, and Hunter had to pause on the steps as Jude rushed around him in full speed. "Jude!" but then he trudged in after, meandering straight for the kitchen just as his brother made an appearance from the bedroom.
"Look at this shit." he declared, moving some of the crates from the pile, revealing the array of alcohol and other more exciting supplies. "Bunch'a deliveries to humans got stopped and taken, enough for everyone to get a ton and for Christmas. Something 'bout a dinner, I don't fuckin' know." he grumbled, already searching through one of the crates for a beer no matter the time of the morning. Jude was straight there to the counter, trying to pull himself up to take a look. Can I have one? Hunter didn't even hesitate, another can was taken straight from the crate. "How old was we?" he looked to Ryan, hovering the drink from his son's grip. "Ten? Ah, close enough." it was passed right over after that. "Wanna get everyone together? Invite Beau?" Hunter smirked then to his brother, Jude already rushing off to the couch.
The night is cold and dark, but she shines, almost as if she was designed solely for him. She sparkles and dances, like light reflecting and refracting, beckoning him nearer; her existence sings of promises that he hasn't fully articulated, but he feels them tugging in his soul.

bestie do you have a favorite Mike angst headcanon that you've written (or just come up with but not yet incorporated into a fic)?
A favorite Mike angst headcanon? Hmm. I don't have a particular one that I always go to (besides the obvious mess that is how Mike reacts to Evan's bite).
Although, in my New Body AU, I've thought a lot about different ways to provide angst to Michael's character, like making sure he's thoroughly traumatized by every incident happening in Freddy's once Evan gets bit. A kid goes missing? Mike somehow makes it his fault. A security guard is murdered by the animatronics? Mike's fault.
The bite is quite a mess in this AU, actually. Mike was being constantly bullied into doing whatever these other kids wanted (not to mention the abuse he takes from his mother), and so when Fredbear bites down, Mike does everything in his power to get his brother out alive. He succeeds, but there's that lasting guilt as he sits in his hospital bed. His father is in and out, checking on him before going to sit with Evan, and Elizabeth seems almost excited that he nearly killed Evan. It doesn't sit well, and things get worse when he actually gets home.
This is the AU where Mike murders his mom, and since that happens within the same month as the actual bite, Mike really starts to believe that he's a monster. He nearly killed his brother, and he quite literally caused his mother to fall and die, so his belief is well-reasoned at this point. And his best friend is nowhere to be found (courtesy of the fact that she died three years prior and is currently being rebuilt by his father and Henry), so she can't comfort him.
Mike has nightmares about every member of his family dying from now on. He sees Evan's limp corpse on the floor of that show stage, unmoving no matter how hard Mike cries. He sees the broken body of his father on the kitchen floor, having fallen because Mike forgot to clean up some kind of mess. He sees Elizabeth, dead at the bottom of the first floor stairs because he'd jokingly pushed her, and she was too small to catch herself (Mike is 8 years older than Elizabeth in this AU).
When the children start going missing, Mike sees their corpses in his mind too. He gets this idea that he should've prevented it, believing that everything was his fault. When the security guards start dying, Mike assumes they're taking the job too seriously, and they're going after the kidnapper, but something gets in the way. Mike irrationally believes that everything is his fault.
When Jeremy gets bit, it takes a big toll on him. Mike feels guilty for not being there, instead out celebrating Evan's 15th birthday. He suspects that someone tampered with the animatronics during that week he was gone, and he can't prove it. Scott gives him an employee to train, and he tells Mike to get over it. There was nothing he could've done. Mike doesn't believe that, so he carries on.
The location finally closes, and Mike spends most of his spare time at the hospital with Jeremy, guilty about the fact that the poor man lost an eye to Chica. He'll live, sure, but just like Evan, Mike can't let it go.
He contemplates dying constantly, and Evan's the only one who ever seems to get through to him. Evan's not mad about the bite. He knows it was an accident, and nothing would've happened (in his mind anyway. Oops, added Evan angst) if he had just trusted Mike to get him out again. Sure, it would've been terrifying, but Evan had deactivated the safety lever and gotten water into Fredbear's jaw, so really he blames himself for panicking.
Evan's nightmares have evolved during this time, and he can rarely sleep without someone else in the room anymore. Mike still feels guilty, and he's the one who stays with Evan during those nightmares. Their father has gone missing by this point, and Mike decides that the only things that matter now are his younger siblings.
When Freddy's reopens, Mike is livid. He still has a job with the company, and he works his night shifts the same way, except there's an added issue. Scott says the Classic animatronics are more sensitive than even the Toys had been, so Mike makes sure to get to work half an hour before his shift, to get Cassidy out of the building before midnight.
He ends up faking his death one night after the animatronics can't quite seem to kill him. Cassidy had been locked in there with him, and the animatronics got much more murderous for some odd reason (more on that when I write more of the actual excerpts). Mike vanishes with only a torn uniform and a massive pool of blood to indicate that he'd even gone to work that night.
He believes it's for the best that everyone thinks he's dead.
Now, this whole thing is getting really long (sorry about the long rambling about the New Body AU), so I'm just going to outright say it. One of Mike's worst nightmares comes true when he ends up trying to stop the murders at Freddy's. Permanently. Evan turns out to be the one member of his family that he did not kill, and it nearly destroys him.
To properly answer your question, I love to give Michael extreme guilt after Evan's bite. I don't always let Evan live (in fact I usually don't), but even in cases where it's not Mike's fault, he still blames himself. Michael always turns himself into that self-sacrificing guy who'd do anything for his remaining family and the missing kids. Until he realizes the true horrors of what his father does, that is. Maybe someday I'll explore the possibility of Mike specifically becoming a killer like his father, but who knows? The uneasy alliance with the missing kids to make sure nobody dies again (besides himself, of course), has so much angst potential, especially when I add Cassidy into the mix. She's my stand-in, since I always fail to write siblings that cannot forgive each other for anything.
No, I will not offer any explanation for this.
[Chuckling evilly] All this talk of how Kai's Akumas are wild cards ... And no one else has brought this up? The reason he rarely listens is because he's so stubborn, he'll have a set goal in mind and nothing can shake him. So ... If HM caught him in a vulnerable moment, when he's distracted and weak ... He'd probably be much more open to following orders. ~Merciless (You know me, but I'm not telling who I am -- And this concept may ring a bell to a fellow mod ... )
I want to write an angsty Akuamatised Kai snip! Once I overcome my god given debuff and get the right idea, I will do it!
