This fic contains stories for my AC fan theory challenge. If you wanna know what that is, check out my profile.

So, this is basically a collection of one shots and drabble, based off a list of animal crossing fan theories I found. None of them are connected in any way.

AC fan theory #3: the humans in the town are all Nook's slaves


Nook sat in his shop, smiling happily. A new human was due to arrive in the town soon, so he was feeling optimistic.

A bell tinkled and the human girl in his town walked in. She looked exhausted, blonde hair messy, bags surrounding her light blue eyes. Nook rubbed his paws together.

"Oh, Elena!" He called, putting on an air of polite detatchment. "I see you've paid off your mortgage. Now, don't you think that house is a little small?" Nook saw her begin shaking at this. He continued blithely on. "You want more room, yes? I could expand your house again, if you'd like..."

Nook waited. Elena seemed to be on the verge of saying no. Slowly, making sure she noticed, he poked a gun out of his pocket. If you looked in the window, you wouldn't see anything suspicious. You certainly wouldn't see Nook threatening an innocent girl. You'd see him making light conversation with Elena.

"Do you want your house expanded?"

She wiped away a tear as she nodded yes.

Nook grinned. Threatening hadn't always worked on Elena, but after Timmy and Tommy had their way with her, she'd do anything he told her to.

"We'll discuss payment later, yes?" Nook waved her out of his shop, biting back a laugh.

This was Nook's town, and everyone had to play by his rules. If you broke the rules, there were consequences. That's how he ran things. And everyone had to abide by his rules, including the newbie.

Nook's head shot up as he heard his shop door open and a human footfall inside. He smiled.
