Songs of Disarray

• Komi/VOID
• The Songs

Traveling across the multiverse for countless years, Komi's life mission is to make sure the balance of reality remains stable. However, being alive for so long... the Master of the Void finds herself overwhelmed with boredom every now and then.After the stress of her last two adventures, Komi's next stop is somewhere she's been a few times before; the Aftonverse. This time, though, the Master of the Void jumped into this world a few years before the main story events truly begin.Before William Afton, before Fredbear's Family Diner, there was another franchise. Out of pure curiosity, Komi takes up a job as a pianist for the theater. There, she meets the Puppeteer, and finds herself as an observer for another series of tragedies, not too different from the legacy of the Aftons.A FNAC 3 AU Story, connected to a bigger story: VOID

Timeline

story events in this AU

note: Komi, naturally, takes notes and does research on each universe she visits. At the beginning of her time in the SoD universe, she mistakenly assumes it is the same Aftonverse where Charlotte (the protag of VOID) was originally from. It's not until she actually meets this universe's Afton and finds out that the 'Purple Guy' isn't him (as it's Simon Fitzgerald).Songs of Disarray is a mix of both the Candy/POPGOES timeline, with a mix of the FIRST novel of the Silver Eyes trilogy. Creative liberties and all, this is just a project for fun.some of the popgoes stuff is taken right off the fandom wiki lol

Events that have no placement yet (Rambling)

POPGOES Events
POPGOES events go somewhere but since the story of that doesnt directly connect to Candy's or the vision for SoD, only the Bite and MCI will be mentioned. Playing around with the idea of multiple key characters witnessing the Bite of '87 that happens between Toy Bonnie and Jeremy Fitzgerald. That being a universal event that is the CORE of this universe (along with the Missing Children Incident). Also, POPGOES takes place in the UK I think? Songs of Disarray is in Utah, USA lolFNAF/Silver Eyes Events
First, this is how the Aftons will work; William has two sons, Evan and Michael. This William is more like SE's Dave Miller pre-plot twist, however he ISN'T the Purple Guy. Komi is used to the sadistic, mad scientist Afton from Charlotte Bishop's original universe (the protagonist of VOID, her universe has FNAF 1/2/3/4/Sister Location/Pizza Sim/Ultimate Custom Night as being the canon)
As for the Silver Eyes lore, RIGHT NOW, only consider the existence of Remnant and a robot Charlie Emily and a Remnant-researcher Henry Emily as being canon things.The Puppeteer's Fate
He leans really hard into the Norman Bates/"Norm Bateman" character as a coping mechanism, and his really weird habit of venting to Vinnie gets creepier leading up to his arrest. He keeps the puppet hidden in a closet, where he'll hide when he's having nightmares/hallucinations about what he did. I want to keep him alive for a few years, so we have two/three phases of Komi and Vincent's relationship to witness - honeymoon (their overtly "cute" relationship before Oct 13th 1961), co-dependent (they become mutually dependent on one another with Vincent going as far as to manipulate parts of Komi's life, such as getting Glenn to fire her), and toxic (the final years of Vincent's life where he's in prison). Still juggling with the idea of Vincent breaking up with Komi over the phone the night before he dies...
The night of Vincent’s death (he is accidentally killed by a prison mate in the same manner he killed Toni); Vinnie springs to life the very second Vincent’s heart stops; Vinnie’s crying/wailing is what alerts Komi to discovering where he was hidden.Tchaikovsky's Monster (or, the Unworthy Prometheus)
Using the Remnant discovered on the now living Vinnie, Komi begins the process of creating a brand new vessel for Vinnie to start a new life in. Anyone who has known me/Komi for more than two years will know that Komi's complex past has a strong hold over her actions as a character. For example in this case; Her past as Kari Barisol where she was once a porcelain doll that her 'father' Behemo Barisol created a new vessel for. Familiar? Throughout the unknown centuries that Komi has been around the multiverse, she's had time to not only follow her father's footsteps, but also improve on his research. In the past, she has created special kinds of bodies of different types; "Puppets" and "Humans." She used the "Puppet" build when she made a new vessel for Bill Cipher to control (a mistake that dominoed into the plot of VOID), and so she uses this once again when putting together Vinnie's new form.
After the transfer is complete and Vinnie is 'reborn,' Komi begins to regret what she's done. In way, she wante to "bring Vincent back" but understands that Vinnie is NOT Vincent... so she neglects him, which drives him to going to the extreme - gathering new parts (from Vincent's corpse? maybe) to make himself be who he thinks Komi wants him to be. And obviously this freaks her out more, and now with Vincent's Agony within him, he changes himself one final time to "Vivian" and... well, he's out there, and Komi doesn't know where he is!Eriksen Legacy
Chandler and Hoffman reunite; invite Mary to their investigation team, but it all falls apart and Chandler goes insane for whatever reason.
Vivian begins tormenting Chandler; the latter starts to have nightmares again
Chandler is my "if FNAC 4 is about Rowboatics Corp/the 2nd cofounder is revealed to be involved in FNAC 4" test dummy. I don't want to do TOO much with him or Glenn in case my FNAC 4 theories are wrong. However, I'd still like to have a sort of William-Michael parallel between Glenn-Chandler (aka if Mary gets Michael's pain, then Chancy gets his obligations/responsibilities to put a stop to things).
I want to have an older brother/younger sister found family dynamic with Chandler and Mary when they reunite as adults (they barely interacted as kids, only once, probably at Vincent's trial). Like maybe Chandler gets pissed off when he finds out Mary is getting herself involved with Candy's while he and Hoffman are doing their own private investigation, and there's an argument where Chandler (out of anger) blames her for Toni's death. Chandler as a kid saw the Rat Actor as an older brother and was the most upset after his death. He blames everyone - Glenn and Vincent for always being "assholes" to Toni, Mary for simply being there, Richie for not "fighting back," and Komi for "abandoning" him and "running off" with Vincent.Mary's Legacy
Mary in this AU has Dissociative Identity Disorder, so certain things (such as the dream/deepscape, Vinnie hallucinations, and nightmares) will be rewritten with that context in mind. I'm writing based on my own personal experiences with the disorder. It's a way for me to express what I've gone through using a character I already relate so much with (taking from FNAC 3 specifically).
As for her daughter, Marylin, I'm not sure how to flesh her out yet. Right now my inspiration is Heather Mason from SH3, but I'd like to write a strong connection between mother and daughter as a sort of running theme between Chandler and Mary - Family. And the thought of Mary coming to help her daughter burn down the factory is cathartic, a FNAF 6 kind of ending for Mary's story. Despite everything she goes through, the loss of her mother and the tragic deaths at these establishments that she blames herself for, an incident where her little brother and then later her own daughter get seriously hurt by this very same "monster" in her life, and then FINALLY putting an end to it all, I just want her to same some goddamn PEACE man.

About Us

Blackfairy312

We are part of a DID system affectionally named after the musical group Nightcord at 25:00 - the Nightcord System (or just Niigo for short).
This project was something we started in early 2024, after being re-introduced to Five Nights at Candy's 3 specifically. After that, the yearly FNAF resurgence came back in the form of a blue cat and a frowning puppet, rather than a dapper bear and smiling puppet.
This project is a side-project, actually. For the past few years, we have been working on a main project called VOID, which is about... well, the Multiverse. If you're interested... most of the content is on our YouTube page! AND, VOID is connected to THIS project! Neat!

dev notes!

- The Puppeteer's name came to me in an instant. His puppet's name is Vinnie, and if we're going to exaggerate his "me, me, me" traits to the max in this AU, then wouldn't it be funny if "Vinnie" was named after his own puppet master? And it's even better, I think, how it just so happens to be the same name the FNAF fandom gave to the Purple Guy during the days Rebornica's "Vincent Bishop Purple and Toast" ruled as the most popular depiction of the main villain. 2015 was a different time.- Character names and face/voice claims are all mostly references to media that have influenced the system in different ways over the years (good and bad). Some examples;
- Toni's last name "Russo" being the family name of the stars of Wizards of Waverly Place.
- Richie Kennedy's name being from both Richie Tozier of IT and Leon S Kennedy of Resident Evil.
- Chandler and Joey's names being from Friends, Komi's favorite sitcom. Thank our friend Mimi for this idea ⭐
- Brian and Jillian's names are a reference to my least favorite-favorite guy LS Mark.
- Harry Schmidt is named after my totally real father Harry Mason from Silent Hill. This is important.
- Toni is my Aaron Paul-sona. Richie is my Joe Keery-sona.
- Vincent's voice claim being Dexter Morgan now is to lean into the "Vincent is a Norman Bates wannabe" theme. Michael C Hall's performance as Dexter reminds me a lot of how Anthony Perkins played Norman Bates. Also, I can say that certain Dexter quotes are canon things Vincent has said. Mwehehe...

Credits

The big brains

Big special thanks to both Emil Macko and Scott Cawthon. Without either of them, we wouldn't be working on this project! Thank you Scott for creating the FNAF series in the first place, and thanks to Emil for creating the Five Nights at Candy's fangames, and crafting such an amazing story. Emil, seriously, I am SO excited to see where you take the story next and for the new characters and animatronics we're going to meet.
