Summary
When a position as a nighttime security guard opened up at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex, Eliza Andersen eagerly applied for it in the hopes of getting to hang out with the resident animatronics, especially Roxanne Wolf, who she has a big crush on. Despite her anxiety and awkwardness, the two Glamrock girls quickly take a liking to her. However, Eliza soon finds herself in the midst of a deadly feud between Fazbear Entertainment's CEO, Harriet Emily, and its chief roboticist, Dr. Evan Afton.
Welcome to an AU where Evan Afton (The Crying Child) did not die and ended up inheriting his father's technical genius and resources, going on to revolutionize the fields of robotics and artificial life. As a result, the Glamrock animatronics look and feel like living, breathing anthropomorphic animals rather than machines.
