Five Nights at Freddy's/Ships

= Afton Brothers = 

Afton Brothers is the familyship between Michael Afton and the Crying Child.

Canon
Michael Afton isn't one would call a "good brother," with him picking on his little brother and even leaves him behind on the street rather than picking him up, or looking after him like an older brother should. He enjoys scaring his crying little brother with his red fox mask, and even gets his friends to laugh at him for always crying. Although their father has cameras all over their house and within his crying son's golden Freddy doll, he does nothing to stop Michael's bullying towards his bother.

On the day of the crying child's birthday, Michael has his friends wear masks of the other Freddy mascots as they watch his bother cry at his own party. Knowing that his brother is scared of the animatronics, even though he doesn't know the reason why that is, Michael thought it would be funny to place his brother's head in the Golden Freddy's mouth. What was meant to be a prank goes terribly wrong as the animatronic's mouth ends up crushing the poor boy's skull and gets placed into a coma. Michael was horrified of what he did and tried to tell his bother that he was sorry when he woke up for a brief moment. Before succumbing to his injury and dies, leaving Michael haunted and riddled with regret of what he did.

Fanon
Due to what Michael did to his little brother before causing his death, even if was an accident from a cruel prank that went tragically wrong, this FNAF familyship has some fixed feelings. It is mostly looked into by those who are interested in the origins of the Afton family and the pizza party place their father co-owned. Knowing that the brothers' story plays a key role that leads to the cause of tragic events that befell upon Freddy's. As one accidental death that leads to the violent deaths of many other people, mostly children by their father's hand.

There are theories that the crying child's soul ends up in the Golden Freddy that it "bit" him. Due to Michael's actions towards his bother, fans believe that the crying child has become angry and twisted within Golden Freddy. With Michael working to atone for his past and to stop their father from killing any more people, the Crying Child is believed to have become a parasite and would probably end up killing Michael if their paths were to cross. Just as their father and sister became darker in the animatronics their souls inhabit.

There have been a few AUs that don't have the crying child die at all, or at least have Michael be kinder towards him. There are theories that the youngest Afton son had saw what happened to their sister and wasn't allowed to tell anyone about it. Leading some to believe that Michael's attitude towards his bother would have changed should he learn the possible reason for his brother's tears, years before the events of Sister Location. Or at least days before the crying child's final birthday party, preventing that tragic event that turned their father into a killer.

Just as there are theories to explain the reason behind the Crying Child's endless tears, there are those who have wondered about Michael's reason for picking on his brother. From not wanting to believe that he is a terrible person like he was first made out to be, and that his actions weren't directly towards his brother. With their mother out around, not knowing what happened to their sister and their father spending more time in his room than with his sons. While Michael is told by their father to look after his brother. Along with the fact that teenagers tend to act out and find ways to work off their negative emotions. It doesn't excuse Michael for his cruel actions and pranks towards his little brother, or for causing his death, but there are those who do feel sorry for both Afton brothers. They could see that Michael wishes to do right for what he did.

Among those who believe that Michael's soul somehow ended up in Glamrock Freddy, to explain the humanity Freddy displayed towards Gregory in Security Breach, assume that Michael's essence within Freddy sees his little brother in Gregory. Wanting to atone for his past by protecting Gregory, like he should have protected the crying boy he tormented and ended up killing. Believing that he would make a far better father than a brother to Gregory, through this second chance he is given. Whenever someone calls Freddy a "brother", Michael has Freddy tell them to not call him that. Not wanting to be reminded of the person he once was.

= Glamrock Family = 

Glamrock Family is the familyship between Glamrock Freddy, Gregory, Glamrock Chica, Montgomery Gator and Roxanne Wolf.

Fanon
This FNAF familyship is mostly based on the idea of Chica, Gator and Roxey breaking free from Vanny's control, with help from Gregory, or were never hacked at all, when Freddy meets Gregory and they form a father-son bond. As the other Glamrock Animatronicts become part of their family and help Freddy to raise Gregory. Since Roxanne Wolf has already been featured as a mother figure to Gregory, it only seemed fair to include the rest of the band. From time to time, some like to include the Sunny side of the Daycare Attendant and even Glamrock Bonnie to this family.

Some versions of this ship have the Glamrocks raise Gregory from a baby to a child, before he is discovered by the staff. Who weren't too sure what to make of it, or if leaving Gregory with the Glamrock Animatronics is safe or not. Believing that Gregory would be far better off with a human family than a robotic one. The fear of Gregory being taken away from them is what has the animatronics keep their human ward a secret. While the release of the 2023 FNAF film has another group base their bond on the one that Abby Schmidt has with her Animatronic friends.

= SpringDad = 

SpringDad is the familyship between William Afton and Michael Afton.

Fanon
With William always finds ways to come back through his Springtrap persona and Help Wanted showed him using others to ensure his return, along with the fact that the soul one of the Afton children resides in Circus Baby and there being theories of the Crying Child's soul possibly possessing the Golden Freddy, it has led to the theory of Michael's spirit finding away to lack onto Glamrock Freddy; after another Fazbear establishment was build over the one both father and son died in. Glamrock Freddy saying that "I'm not me" before Springtrap shows up, along with one of the Security Breach endings having Freddy start a fire to burn down Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex helps to support this theory. With Michael dying in an attempt to ensure that his father's twisted soul remains in hell, so he wouldn't harm anyone else, it makes sense that he too would return to ensure it remains that way.

Trivia

= Three Superstars = 

Three Superstars is the friendship between Glamrock Freddy, Gregory and Vanessa.

Canon
On the day a young boy named Gregory walks into the Mega Pizzaplex, the Vanny side of Vanessa's personality was trying to hack the Glamrock Animatronics and only Glamrock Freddy was able to avoid her grasp as he suddenly malfunctioned and shut down during a show. Allowing Gregory to hide in Freddy's chest compartment when he sensed something wrong about the security guard. Freddy is shown to know Vanessa by her security guard role in Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex and believes her to be someone that could be trusted, until he meets Gregory. Who tells Freddy that Vanessa cannot be trusted and can't risk her finding him, despite not knowing why that is Freddy agrees to keep Gregory safe from her as they work to get the boy out of the building. Vanessa is aware that Gregory was still in the building and was also angry at Freddy for crushing, as it ruined the show. To keep his new friend safe, Freddy acts like he doesn't know about the "lost child" when Vanessa found him to be outside his room, and acted like he didn't know how that happened. Gregory watches Vanessa and Freddy talk from behind the current of the aid station and didn't come out of his hiding place until she left. Gregory can only safely approach Vanessa, without the fear of her seeing him, when he is hiding inside Freddy.

As Vanny she gives off an "energy" that keeps Freddy from being able to see her while Gregory can see her just fine, this brief glimpse of her soon leads to Gregory and Freddy uncovering one of the darker sides to the Pizzaplex. As well as them uncovering hidden secrets about Vanessa as they look into Vanny. Some of the game's endings involve Vanessa and her Vanny persona, most of them being bad while one of them is of a happy nature.

Fanon
The nature of this friendship is based on the "Savior" ending, as Gregory frees Vanessa from Vanny and she leaves with him and Freddy. This friendship is also treated as a familyship, as Freddy and Vanessa adopt Gregory and the three of them become a family. With Vanessa serving as a mother or older sister figure to Gregory. With the Ruin DLC showing to not be connected to the canon ending, it got some to think that it follows the "Savior" ending, that is why some Ruin fanart of Gregory have him being accompanied by Freddy and Vanessa as they try to help him save Cassie. While those who also support the Glamrock Family and prefer the Savior ending or merge that ending with the canon one, sometimes have the three leave the Pizzaplex with the rest of the Glamrock Gang, after they too were freed from Glitchtrap's control.

Most versions of Freddy adopting Gregory AU's, after they left the Pizzaplex in one of the good endings, Freddy hides the fact that he is an Animatronic so Gregory won't be taken from him, Vanessa being a human allows Freddy to have help with those obstacles. By making people outside their makeshift think that Gregory is in her care, helps Gregory to build Freddy a new body for his head and takes care of a few other things that Freddy would need to be careful of, outside their shared home. Along with them making sure that Gregory has a normal, happy life after what the three of them had gone through.

Due to the theory of Michael Afton's soul inhabiting Glamrock Freddy, it has Gregory and Vanessa be viewed as the Crying Child and Elisabeth Afton. With Gregory looking a bit like what the Crying Child is believed to look like, and is seen eating a Golden Freddy pop in the Savior ending. Along with Vanessa having blond colored hair like Elisabeth was shown to have in the 8-bit game from Sister Location, making it look like that the Afton Siblings have been reunited. Even though there is no proof to support Gregory and Vanessa having any ties to Michael's siblings. While the theory of Michael's spirit somehow ending in Freddy is simply used to explain the humanity Glamrock Freddy displayed in Security Breach, since FNAF is known for spirit possessed Animatronics and want SB to have its recurring theme.

= Toy Gang = 

Toy Gang is the friendship between Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica, Mangle, Balloon Boy, JJ and the Puppet.

Fanon
Much like FNAF 1 Gang, the Toy Gang was portrayed as a friend group sometime after the second game was released. BB and JJ are often left out, due to fandom's dislike of them. The Puppet is also sometimes left out or treated as the equivalent of Golden Freddy, due to fans preferring to focus on the classic "Freddy/Bonnie/Chica/Foxy" line-up.
