  Summary

  Does not follow the canon timeline. It's essentially 1995 during the main fic but it's set in Fnaf 3 because I said so.
  Sorry lore enthusiasts (and Scott.) it's 100% not gonna be accurate at all 😭 (Dear God, I'm sorry Scott.)

  Having been friends with Michael as kids, it was a shock to run into him again. Especially seeing as you were illegally tresspassing when you did so.
