Summary
A standalone story; Set in a post-apocalyptic war era of The Nowhere, two orphaned siblings, Sorrow and Lament, are the sole survivors of the atomic fire bombing in their hometown. Without other bystanders to protect them, the siblings are forced to defend themselves in the ravaged and grisly environment, encountering horrific, grotesque monsters along the way. To make matters worse, they must resist the urge to act on their desires for vengeance as they are on the brink of a monstrous evolution.
(Aside from being a stand-alone story, this novel doesn't involve the main characters, Six and Mono, but rather other canonical characters whose lives were lost in the official games, The Runaway Kid and The Girl in the Yellow Raincoat, as guest appearances/cameos.)

Summary
The motions had become all but second nature by now.
Mono gently switches off the blaring alarm clock. Brushes his teeth with toothpaste that stings just a little too much. Puts on wrinkled little uniform and blazer. Cooks breakfast. Eats said breakfast. Aimlessly watches his Father on the TV. Shuts the front door to his apartment door with a resounding thud as he ambles down the stairs and onto the cracked footpath.
Or
A Little Nightmares school AU where Mono simply wants to live a happy, normal life with nice parents and his friends by his side forever. The universe tends to disagree.
(Updates approx. once a week!! :D)

Little Hope: A Little Nightmares Fanfiction by Terrainian239

Summary
Most of us know the world of little nightmares for it's small nine year old human protagonists such as six and mono, and it's creative yet horrifying monstrous ghouls (if you get scared easily by horror), and parts of the story that may or may not be one of life's greatest mysteries. What if! There was another nine year old protagonist who traverses the twisted world of little nightmares alongside with six and mono. We're about to find out. The boy is a fellow lost child who's been wandering around the nowhere for years. He's encountered many nightmares and met some lost children that came and went, there's little hope in the nowhere, but to the boy, hope is hope.
Note: this is my version of little nightmares so this story won't be completely like the original storyline and is very different. This story will mostly center around my oc character (and six).
The little nightmares franchise is owned by Tarsier Studios and Bandai Namco entertainment.
I own my OCs (The main male OC and other OCs I have in this story).
Here we go.

Summary
Mono is a well known faceless teen influencer online, most only knowing few details about him. Moving around from foster home to home, he eventually gets moved to Pale City. There's one problem however:
He's selectively mute.
Six has grown up with her mother, moving to the Pale City at the age of two. Her mother, known for her ownership of the restaurant The Maw, is a gentle soul who just wants the best for her daughter. Her friends, Arkay and Raine, grew up alongside her, Raine's parents taking over a massive TV station in Pale City known as "The Signal Tower," its old owner having disappeared several years ago due to some unforeseen circumstances. Arkay had been adopted into the family some time ago, his dad, the TV star of The Signal Tower, having gotten into legal trouble many years ago that left the boy scrambling for a hold.
And when a new boy shows up in their school, seemingly quiet and strange, they get closer than they expected to him. Secrets are revealed, and Mono doesn't know how much more he can take before it all falls apart.
|| A Modern AU in which Six, RK, and RCG are all friends and somehow Mono worms his way into their lives. ||
|| Monix-centric ||

Summary
Humanity was a heavy word with multiple meanings, yet to most, it served only as a term to refer to one’s rationality, to their ability to think — which was a luxury in and of itself, as the majority of the world’s population had either died or completely lost grasp of reality, becoming drones for The Tower.
Still — in the vast sea of misery, built by tears of the suffering innocent — a bright beam of red stood tall. His spark glowed brightly in crimson, not only in the essence of the life he himself had spilled, but because he had long lost sight of the things that made him human.
It had been nine years.

A Little Nightmares reimagination, inspired by Seven Year Nightmare, Stranger Things and The Last of Us — With our own little twist to it, of course.
Created and illustrated by me(@paodocinh) and my good friend Towns.

Summary
the world of nowhere is anything but kind
This is a fact with…a painful amount of truth
Where’ve it’s the children who cower and cry themselves to sleep…or the very monsters that make up the horrors one thing reminds true
nowhere is a world build from nightmares…but
What if that didn't have to be the case…
What if there was something…someone that could change it
What if after 6000 cycles that someone returned
someone…who went against everything the nowhere strived for

Summary
Karma is a pain in the butt, ain't it? But it feels so good to see karma hit on people who are known to be monsters or more! Well...what if everything Six did that a monster would do comes right back at her and there's nobody she can turn to for help. Long story short...the time has resetted, everyone who have died are brought back to life (in the game not in the comics), Nomes and Shadow kids doesn't exist anymore, and most importantly everyone remembers what happened before like in previous timelines (not like undertale). But this time everyone decides to stay and stick together to survive. However, who would want to team up and stick with a monster, a psychopath (possibly), a sociopath (possibly),and a traitor? Did I forget to mentioned that Six lost the Lady's power and Shadow Six is still with Six in this story? Oops! My bad~
The Little Nightmares franchise does not belong to me.
Also this book is fanmade, do not suspend me ao3.

Summary
We follow a world where all those nightmares are merely a dream.
It’s still left to be seen. Are we even lost to the theme?
Rhyme & Time feels loss , but apparently. I suppose we can try to seek forevermore.
We follow two lost souls of many surviving a life distinct from such terrors as little children no bigger than a thumb of normalcy.
