#i’m a sucker for cyberpunk au
Text
Because I haven’t done anything cyberpunk I’m a while, also bc I’m stalling for a drawing. Here’s the questers favorite types of junk food in cyberpunk (and IG any of my modern AUs)
Cuphead obviously likes anything sweet, especially lollipops. He doesn’t really care what flavor but he likes those mystery kinds that randomly pick for him; grape, and strawberry. But he also defaults to eating ravioli cups or cans if he needs a quick meal, or a snack. Or for comfort. Or if he’s just feeling it.
Mugman likes snacking on pokeys. His favorite flavor is regular chocolate and blueberry. Cuphead teases him about that relentlessly. “He likes blueberries so much it turned his nose blue” (A note from my friend @ireallylovepuppies101 ). Also, he really likes sour gummy candies. Like sour patch kids and sour fizzy skulls (I work at a Swedish candy store that last one might not make as much sense to my american friends).
Bendy has a bad habit of forgetting to eat when he’s stuck with a project (as does Holly) so he likes hot pockets. He doesn’t really have a favorite flavor, whatever he can grab at the corner store. He’ll usually eat these as a last minute meal if he forgets to eat dinner. It drives Cuphead INSANE. He also likes any kind of bacon flavored chips or pretzels.
Boris is the one in the workshop that actually remembers to eat. He often has to remind Bendy and Holly to actually eat if Cuphead isn’t there to remind him. Boris is kind of a sucker for Mac ‘n cheese cups or just regular Mac n’ cheese in the boxes. He likes to cut up hot dogs or little bits of ham and mix them in his Mac ‘n cheese for a little extra protein. He also makes sure if that is going to be his meal that he also eat some fruits or veggies with it.
Felix doesnt really eat junk food but he occasionally likes a good vanilla milkshake. He also enjoys chocolate biscuits and cookies. I tried looking up british chocolate cookie brands but I’m obviously not british so idk what’s good. But there was a thing called McVities Chocolate Digestives. I imagine he’d like the lemon drizzle flavor. He also likes Girl Scout cookies. If there’s someone selling them he’s buying their whole stock of cookies. He especially likes Samoa, Thin mints, and Lemonades. He doesn’t eat those a whole lot, they’re kind of special occasion things or comfort food. Whenever he’s feeling nostalgic.
Holly likes lollipops of course, preferring cherry and blue raspberry flavors. But really any flavor will do. But she also likes ramen! If you go into her section of the workshop where she codes you’ll see a lot of cup ‘o noodles cups everywhere. If she decides to cook ramen she likes to cook it with some egg and chopped up onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes to make it a bit more hearty and filling.
Alice doesn’t eat junk food that much. She does like marshmallows, especially s’mores or any kind of chocolate covered marshmallow. But she also likes donuts. >:) (for the people who read inky mystery you know that Holly scared Alice into thinking that eating donuts makes you a bad person.) So she only likes specific kinds of donuts. She loves apple fritters, long john donuts, and crullers because they don’t look like your average donuts. So she doesn’t realize those are actually donuts. She thinks they’re just regular weirdly shaped pastries. No one has the guts to tell her they’re actually donuts.
If you wanna hear other characters let me know!!!!

hi i literally know nothing about cyberpunk but im DROOLING OVER UR DESIGNS…i like do not have the patience or mind to ever do smth like that so its so cool to see other ppl make really cool designs for several characters like wow. i think zane and harumi r my favorite IM OBSESSED.
what kind of things did u use for inspo ?😳
OH MY GOD?? OH MY GOD?? THE CLAM IS IN MY INBOX?? DIES
anyways hihihi sorry it took so long to answer this eeee
Okay so I didn’t actually do that much formal research for it, because anytime i try to do that i feel my creativity and livelyness is sapped out of me (probably one of the reasons i hate school lmao) anyways
It’s actually a really funny (and long) story how this au came to be, so at first i saw the party clone of MK in lego monkie kid (this won’t make much sense if you haven’t watched that show sorry, but also at the same time if you haven’t YOU REALLY SHOUDL ITS REALLY GOOD AND THE ANIMATION MAKES ME DROOL NGL) and i was like yo wouldn’t it be cool if Lloyd had an evil party clone too? and then it expanded to an RGB evil clone au (cuz i’m a sucker for RGB siblings haha) and then i got the idea for nya to be a racer and to have a cyborg gf (cough cough pixal) and i was like okay scrap all the clone stuff were making this a completely independent au because this is MUCH cooler. and yeah, idk where the whole cyberpunk thing came from, i just thought it would really fit into the themes of fighting rings, clubs and races :DD
After that i was a bit busy for a while with school (just like i am now :c) but the brain rot for this AU was still going strong, so I made a pinterest board where i saved just a fuck load of cyberpunk shit that i thought looked cool, and whenever i had time i’d use those to draw the designs! here are some sketches with their references :D (zane and harumi included since they were ur favs! ps zane is my fav too, he just gives off such manager vibes but, hot, HAHA)
(ignore the lines, procreate just fucks up stuff if you change the canvas size and you try to access prior versions of the drawing through the timelapse option lmao)
anyways as you can see not even all of the references are cyberpunk stuff
AND YEAH I USED UR LLOYD AS INSPIRATION, I REALLY LIKE UR ARTSTYLE OKAY MOVING ON
some of the stuff was different and changed a lot through the process, like for example i decided against harumi having the furs because she would never wear them in this AU, she needs practicality in her fighting matches haha. I also changed a lot of lloyd design, cuz i was like “hehe, heelies” cuz zoom zoom, yk? and then u have zane, which was really straightforward coz i had almost exactly how i wanted him to be set in stone in my mind xd
Here’s a link to the pinterest board if ur interested! there’s a bunch of stuff in here i never got to use, so if anyone is interested idm it being used for stuff ^-^
ANYWAYS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SENDING IN THIS ASK, I HOPE IT WASNT TOO LONG AA
#me when cool artist sends an ask#HFBFBFHFH#dies#marsipain speaks#marsipain asks#marsipain art#ninjago cyberpunk au

I’m sure there’s at least one AU that of yours that everyone’s forgotten about except you that you have tons of ideas for, so how about you tell us about that.
Destro's Ghost AU for having ghost worldbuilding in it, especially the OFA ghosts.
Villain Midoriya is out Villain Eri is in and that's why I love the Villain Inko AU and the League Saves Eri AU
Inko Keeps Dating Supernatural Being AU for all the fun urban fantasy worldbuilding and also imagining what Izuku's dragon form looks like with all his boons
Changeling Cathleen Bate because I am a sucker for Non-Horror Eldritch stuff, and it's got Eldritch OFA and Cathleen/Inko
And last but not least, MLA Wins AU for killing off All For One 40 years pre-canon and radically changing the setting to a cyberpunk dystopia

Die Like the Butterfly Shoot With Their Guns.
| {Jasonette July 2021, Week 2, Day 7: Guns} |
Chapter 1 of Sheltered by Darkness not yet Moths to the Flame.
| [Ao3 Link] | | [Masterlist Link] | | [Spotify Playlist Link] | | [Chapter 2] |
———
| Sometimes a family can be a gang comprised of eleven vigilantes, and their AI robot, fighting against the father of one of their own. |
| Or alternatively: after falling through the cracks, they do what they must to survive. And if that means committing crimes in order to bring down the Big Butterfly and all the other corrupt businesses in the city, then so be it. |
———
| Tonight's the night. Half of them will strike one of the Big Butterfly's warehouses that just so happens to contain some fancy new gun tech. Besides, it'll be in better hands with them than the Big Butterfly or his associates. Now all that matters, is that nothing goes wrong! |
| Word Count: 3,322. |
| Warnings/Tags: Cyberpunk/Criminal/Gang Au, Explicit Language/Swearing, Hacking, Breaking and Entering, Theft, Mentions of Bombs and Guns, Mentions of corrupt/shady businesses, Fluff, Gang/Team as family/family dynamics, Found Family. |
———
| A/N: It is Cyberpunk Au time! This is a twoshot, so have a looksy to see if you can find all the snippets of foreshadowing I've set! Also this is mostly Action/Fluff but beware of the warnings regardless. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy! |
| Also side note, Don’t Like? Don’t Read. Also also, please do not criticise any of my writing. This was written for fun and receiving criticism, even in a compliment/criticism sandwich, is the exact opposite of fun. |
———
Rain patters against the concrete, sound mixing with the low hum and high buzz of electricity. The ground is slick with murky puddles that never seem to clean the pavement. Still just as filthy as before, permanently dyed with dried bloodstains, mud stains, electric scorch marks, and far worse. The air is heavy with the smell of cigarette smoke, ozone, and that ever underlying decay that clings to the city.
It's dark—dead of night—but the streets are awash with flickering neon lights. There are a few others haunting the street though most of them are sticking to the areas of light, avoiding the shadows.
Which is where Marinette, also known as the ruthless gang leader Fantôminou, is lurking.
Jason—Red Hood, her co-leader—snarls as he drops down onto the shadowed fire escape beside her. “We've got a rat. Someone's tipped off the big Butterfly and security has been increased around the perimeter. Most likely interior security increased too.”
Fantôminou flexes her glowing clawed gauntlets, “I suppose we should check in with our local pied piper, before we strike, hmm?”
There's a bzzt in her earpiece as the channel is hijacked by the familiar voice of their gang's hacker, Max aka Raijack. “I wouldn't worry about that if I were you, our pied piper has already been contacted. Whoever they were, they didn't reveal which location we were targeting, so it's just a general security increase.”
She hums. “Raijack, link us up with the rest of the strike force.”
“Got it, 'Minou.” He responds, and not a split second later, the earpiece makes another bzzt and there's the faint ping of the rest of the channel being alerted at someone joining.
“Look, I think you could totally pull off the—oh, who just joined the channel?” Adrien, Cheval Mallet, asks in surprise.
“Just me and our anthill tiger.” Red Hood announces, snorting at the glare Fantôminou sends him.
Silence echoes across the line before a scrabble of hushed but excited voices causes a ruckus.
Fantôminou sighs, “I know we're all excited to hit the big Butterfly hard by stealing some of their new fancy gun tech. But let's leave the yelling for when we inevitably set off the alarms!”
“Hey!” Raijack protests. “I'll have you know I have produced a new virus that has a ninety-eight per cent chance of not setting off any alarms!”
Red Hood rolls his eyes. “Yeah, yeah, but you've still not worked out how to get your viruses to deactivate the bombs in the crates yet, huh?”
“I will one day, until then it's your job to stop the bombs from triggering the rest of the alarms!” Raijack counters with a huff.
Fantôminou sighs again, this time with an added sprinkling of are-you-kidding-me. “Red Hood, Raijack. I can and will kick your asses if you do not shut up so we can discuss final prep before we begin the pesticide protocol.”
Bumping shoulders with her, Red Hood snorts again. “I've got nothing against being beat up by someone as pretty and buff as you Minou, you know that!”
“Oh, I think we can all agree to wanting to get crushed by Minou's guns.” Cheval Mallet pipes up once more.
Fantôminou sighs very wearily. “Nevermind, are you all ready?”
Red Hood salutes at her, and despite his mouth being covered, it's easily telling that he's grinning cockily underneath. “I'm ready. My guns are ready, and I've got the bomb defusal kit at the ready.”
“I may be holding my horses but I'm saddled to giddy-up on the go!” Cheval Mallet cheerfully announces.
“This has to be one of your worst attempts at horse puns yet.” Raijack comments, “otherwise, I'm in position and ready to hack on your call, Minou.”
Red Hood exchanges a glance with Fantôminou as silence falls over the earpiece channel. “Hold up, where's Arsenal? Shouldn't he have checked in by now?”
Taking his hand gently, Fantôminou gives it a reassuring squeeze.
“He already did but because you two had your issues getting into position and avoiding the unexpected police patrol, Arsenal had to deal with another issue that popped up which would've threatened our plan,” Raijack informs, sounding nonplussed.
“Well, you don't sound concerned.” Fantôminou points out the obvious. “Has he got back up?”
There's the faint tapping of a keyboard through the earpiece channel before Raijack responds, “Chèvrapide is on her way to back him up, don't worry.”
“Then that's everyone accounted for. Let's rock and roll.” Red Hood orders, dropping from the fire escape and landing in the rain-slick alleyway with ease, conveniently right beside the hoverbike they had stashed here.
Fantôminou hops down after him, except she manages to flip and expertly land in the driver's seat. “I'm driving Jay, you're the one with the guns after all,” she all but states, putting one gauntleted hand up and flexing just to hammer in the point, “I'm close range only right now and you know it.”
Red Hood throws his hands up in mock surrender. “Hey! I'd never complain about getting to watch you drive this beauty of a hoverbike.”
Fantôminou snorts. “Just get on, pretty bird!”
“Well, if you say so, pretty kitty!” Red Hood teases back, vaulting onto the back of the bike behind her. He wraps an arm around her waist and rests the other hand on his sheathed-for-now gun.
She revs the engine of the hoverbike and steers out of the alleyway with practised ease. There's no directions on the hoverbike's holoscreen, but it's not like they need any—the directions to where they need to be outside the warehouse have already been memorised by each and every one of them.”
Down the left street, take the right at the T junction, pass under the flyover street, then take a further two lefts and then straight on until the block of office buildings forming a protective extra layer between the warehouse electric razor wire tipped fencing and the road. Easy.
“All networks in the office buildings have temporarily shut down. As far as the tech will be concerned, it'll look like the networks just decided to not work today.” Raijack announces through the earpiece channel, voice coming through slightly more robotic than usual.
“So no security cams?” Fantôminou checks cautiously, circling like a hawk around the small stretch of street between her and the office building she and Jason will be entering through. The rain has slowed to a drizzle but that doesn't make the circling in it any less mildly uncomfortable, at least inside it'll be dry.
There's the familiar clack of keys once more. “Not quite, they're a little harder to crack than entering in through the backdoor via someone's unprotected webcam in the office. Thank you, Shodan.” Raijack pauses, keys continuing to clack in the background. “Unfortunately, the Big Butterfly's got tech security smart enough to keep the security system on a closed network so I can't hop from webcam to computer to network to cams. However, they didn't account for Markov, suckers!”
Red Hood snorts. “Isn't Markov a little obvious for this kinda mission?”
“Oh, did I forget to tell you?” Raijack says, in a voice that very clearly conveys he didn't forget so much as purposefully neglected to mention, “I recently upgraded Markov, outfitting him with the currently most highly advanced cloaking system. Thanks to some help from Fantôminou's knowledge of cloaking and camouflage fashion.”
Red Hood leans his head onto Fantôminou's shoulder. “I'm hurt, you knew and didn't tell me? I want cloaking guns! Think of how much cooler I'd look with them!”
Fantôminou merely hums in an unamused response. “Raijack wanted it to be a surprise.”
He huffs. “I see who your favourite person in our gang is then!”
“You're right! It's me!” Cheval Mallet cheers, jumping into the conversation.
“Fucking 'ell!” Red Hood curses under his breath. “I thought you were gonna mute whilst getting in position.”
Cheval Mallet's laugh cuts in and out across the earpiece channel. “And when did I hay that!”
“Hacker voice, I'm in!” Raijack interrupts. “Looks like the security system was perfectly untouched by whatever minor error caused the main networks to crash, how lucky. Which is to say, looping is in process, and we now have free entry.”
“Got us a place to park yet, though?” Red Hood asks.
Raijack doesn't immediately respond, but the sound of the garage door connected to the office building opening, is answer enough. “I might.”
Fantôminou snorts. “Thanks, Raijack. Hood and I need to split here right, just until we get past the fencing right?”
“That's right.” Raijack responds, “good luck, and Markov and I will see you all on the other side.”
“Break a leg, or three!” Red Hood calls over the earpiece. “Preferably some else's though!”
Fantôminou pulls the hoverbike into the garage, keeping her gaze ahead. “If I could elbow you without fucking up my parking, I would.”
Red Hood cackles quietly in response, trying to at least keep to the stealth part of the mission plan.
In the blink of an eye, the hoverbike is securely parked. Perfectly hidden in plain sight but easily accessible for a quick and clean getaway should nothing go wrong. And well, if something were to go wrong, there's not going to be any hoverbike left for evidence. Though, that's not to say a small part of Fantôminou's brain doesn't anxiously hate how they're practically sitting on top of bombs ready to blow up at the slightest hint of things going wrong. However, they've been through enough strikes like this for the concern to be mostly easily ignored.
———
With the hoverbike parked, Fantôminou and Red Hood part ways.
Fantôminou heads up through the internal stairwell connected to the garage, whilst Red Hood takes one of the external doors leading to the office building next door.
The stairwell is like any other maintenance stairwell. Grey concrete walls, metal railings and steps. Even Fantôminou's light footsteps clang loudly against the ridged metal stairs. It's cold, just as cold as the garage was and barely warmer than it is outside in the rain. The air is stuffy but at least the respirator hidden beneath the bandana wrapped around her mouth makes it bearable to breathe. Other than the aforementioned clanging of steps, and her breathing, Fantôminou is alone with the ominous silence of a liminal space.
The stairs stretch on upwards for what seems far longer than it should, but eventually, Fantôminou reaches the final steps to the roof entrance door.
The door is unlocked, and so Fantôminou opens it as quietly as possible. She walks out into the rain once more and scrunches up her nose. A quick glance of the roof yields no immediate signs of danger or anything of note, so she continues to the edge of the roof.
Fantôminou rests one foot on the lip of the roof and flexes her gauntlets, lights switching off for stealth. Carefully, she turns around and crouches on the lip, gauntlets gripping the edge and toes of her boots braced against the wall. Bit by bit she descends, gauntlets making it more than easy to stay attached to the wall.
Two-thirds of the way down, Fantôminou climbs onto a window sill. The fence is only a metre below, with a further four-metre drop. No security drones in sight, yet—but no alarms have been triggered yet either.
A shadow drops down the building and over the fence on the other side of the compound. Not a second later is the double buzz of the earpiece signalling that someone is in position.
Fantôminou smirks beneath her face coverings, not one to be so quickly outdone she leaps forwards in a dive—spinning midair as she begins to plummet. Clearing the razor wire fence with room to spare.
She hits the ground in another diving roll, and immediately uses the momentum to throw herself up and run towards the nearest warehouse building. As soon as she reaches the wall, she double-taps her earpiece to send the double buzz signal to others.
A moment later comes the third double buzz, soon followed by the fourth and final signal.
“Markov is covering our air support.” Raijack's voice clips across the earpiece channel, “Fantôminou, you and Red Hood are on opposite ends of the same warehouse. I've unlocked the doors for you. You know the drill.”
“Thank you, Raijack. Entering now.” Fantôminou responds, she slinks over to the warehouse doors and cautiously pries open the now unlocked door.
Fantôminou heads straight for the terminal, and knows Red Hood is doing the same. Slipping Raijack's new and improved virus into one of the terminal's ports. Seconds pass.
“Interface secured,” Raijack informs.
Out of the corner of her eye, she can see Red Hood prowling over to her. She nods to him and taps into the terminal with her gauntlet.
Red Hood readies his bomb defusal kit as she instructs the internal warehouse drones into delivering the goods to them.
The drone, blinking yellow—a sure sign of Raijack's virus in effect—hovers over and drops a large black cased crate before them.
As soon as the claws of the drone release the crate, Red Hood is immediately on it, pulling it open and weeding out the bomb.
They wait with bated breath. Red Hood tinkers away. The earpiece channel is silent as the team focuses.
He hisses through his teeth, and Fantôminou tenses—ready to grab him and run, in the worst case—but he only packs the kit back away and sighs in relief.
He taps the earpiece thrice—signalling success.
Raijack and Cheval Mallet don't respond, so Fantôminou and Red Hood stuff their haul into Fantôminou's Miraculous, for ease of transport, and begin making their way towards the warehouse the other two were hitting.
By the time they reach the nearest warehouse doors, the earpiece triple buzzes. Success, again.
They pause only to exchange a nod between the two before continuing to meet up with Cheval Mallet and Raijack—no rendezvous needed this time so far.
It takes forty seconds to cross halfway to the other warehouse, where they meet the other two along with Markov in the middle.
Cheval Mallet waves a hand and the five of them skulk over to a small shed off the side of another warehouse. He raises his horseshoe weapon and calls out, “Bon Voyage!”
The portal forms and Markov flies through first. The remaining four exchange glances then bolt forwards, racing to see who can get through first.
The blue light blinds them all for a second, despite how used to the power they are.
“Mission success!” Fantôminou cheers breathlessly once the blue fades, throwing her hands up in celebration.
“WOOH!” Cheval Mallet yells, jumping up and punching the air.
Red Hood snorts, “but more importantly I so won!”
Raijack hums, “let's see what Markov has to say about that.”
Markov makes a series of boops and beeps, yellow LEDs flickering. “Red Hood is correct, he won the portal race.”
“YES!” Red Hood crows.
“Oh come on!” Raijack grumbles.
Footsteps and clapping approaches. “Well done,” Félix praises, “but perhaps leave the celebration until after you've all gotten into jammies.”
Cheval Mallet giggles, “Flicks, I can't believe you can somehow still sound pretentious whilst saying something as childish sounding as "jammies"!”
Félix raises an eyebrow, “you say this every time I call pyjamas that. Now come on, I've ordered pizza and Roy, Alix, Luka, Artemis, Kori, and Bizarro are already waiting for you lot, in the lounge, so we can get the party started.” He turns on his heel and walks out of the utility-changing room.
Markov, as the only one not needing to change, shows the tongue-sticking-out emoji on his LED screen and zooms after Félix.
Jason, Marinette, Adrien, and Max all start changing out of their gear as quickly as possible.
“Oh no!” Adrien gasps, half undressed, suddenly remembering something. “We forgot to take the motorbikes back!”
Marinette groans, “I knew I was forgetting something!"
Facepalming, Jason sighs. “We were all too caught up in everything going well for once.”
Max snorts. “Oh don't worry! I anticipated this, all it took was a little hacking into our hoverbikes and now they're on autopilot to one of our empty storage bases.”
“Oh. Well, that's good then.” Adrien says, looking a little embarrassed.
“Yeah… anyway come on, we don't want to keep your cousin and the others waiting any longer! They'll eat all the pizza!” Marinette exclaims.
They all finish changing into loungewear and pyjamas just as music starts to play from the lounge and so frantically, they all dash towards it, trying to shove each other out of the way and laughing playfully as they do so.
They've won a battle, they've successfully gotten in and out with a good haul of gun tech. No alarms tripped, nothing went wrong. Hoverbikes undamaged and on the route home. For once, everything went smoothly. And that, is cause for an evening of celebration.
Leaving the worries of the rat for tomorrow.
———
In a dark observatory with a closed butterfly window, a folder is tossed across a desk.
Papillon glances down at the folder with indifference. He rests his elbows on the expensive polished wood and steeples his fingers. “You said you had acquired information that you believe will interest me?”
The man in a black suit sitting opposite Papillon, smiles patiently. “My informant went through quite the lengths to acquire this. Why not take a look inside.”
Papillon purses his lips, “this better not be a waste of my precious time, Lex.”
Lex Luthor raises an eyebrow in amusement. “I assure you, Gabriel, you will find what is inside most interesting.”
There's a moment's pause as Gabriel waits. Nothing happens. He nods and then opens the folder. He spreads the papers inside in arc across the desk. In the middle of the papers, is the photo of a smiling teenage girl with bright blue eyes, and blue-dyed hair. “Marinette Dupain-Cheng?” He reads out, lips curling into a contemplative frown.
“Poor little girl,” Lex croons mockingly, “missing—presumed dead—after her parents' bakery was destroyed in an Akuma attack. Her name should be familiar to you though, won your one-day derby hat competition at her school.”
Gabriel's fingers still mid-steeple, and he moves one hand up to his chin in thought. “Ah yes, I remember that designer. The one with the feather derby whose design was stolen and copied. That signature embroidery was impressive work.” He recounts.
Lex grins, “yes, however most distressingly, it would seem this up and coming star of a designer has lost her glow.”
“How so?” Gabriel responds, furrowing his brows.
“Well you see, my informant has found… evidence, that our poor little designer here fell through the cracks into the shadows after the loss of her parents and bakery. It's rather obvious that the larvae have taken her as their own, some of their masks and clothes fit perfectly with what we know of her unique incorporation of her signature, as well as stitch work.” Lex explains, waving a hand towards the rest of the photographs and documents spread from the folder.
Gabriel frowns and eyes a few of the other papers with interest. “I see, that is most unfortunate.”
“But.” Lex cuts in before Gabriel can say anything more. “I'm well aware you're plenty familiar with fixing larvae with damaged wings and frayed wires. As such, a strange little cold case brimming with potential for your program, would do quite nicely for your collection, wouldn't you say?” Lex insinuates, rising from his seat as he continues, “rescue the poor larvae, craft it a chrysalis, and nurture the Pupa into something radiant. Not unlike what you did with the Macrothylacia Rubi, and your replacement wife.” With that, Lex smiles smugly down at Gabriel and then strides out of the observatory, not giving Gabriel a chance to respond.
And leaving Papillon to the folder and his musings.

| Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this little fic! Comments, likes, and reblogs are much appreciated! |
| Behind the Names: Fantôminou is a portmanteau of Fantôme (Ghost/Phantom) and Minou (Kitty). And she's called that because I thought the Black Footed cat fit her, and they're nicknamed Anthill Tigers. They also have the highest successful hunting rate! |
| Raijack is a portmanteau of Raiju (lightning dragon) and jack plug (the connect-y bit on headphones into a phone for example) but is also a play on the word Hijack. |
| Cheval Mallet is an evil horse spirit that offers rides to weary travellers and kidnaps them. Yes, there is a reason behind this. It's covered in Chap 2 |
| Chèvrapide is a portmanteau of Chèvre (Goat) and Rapide (Fast). |
| Also feel free to send me any comments with any questions you have regarding this fic, I’ll be more than happy to answer! |

Terrible WIP Synopsis
Got tagged by @pinkfadespirit and @laniardraws (thank you!). I am once again making promises I will not keep. Hit me up if you wanna know more about any of these.
Ghostbusters - Nate and Anders cracking jokes and hunting demons in the next chapter of ‘Not Of Heroes’ (this one is the most likely to actually see the light of day). Also guess who’s back and pissed off.
Yet Another OC Nobody Asked About - Self-explanatory. I gave Ferelden a dumb slut pyromancer, now I’ll give Orlais an actual serial killer. My canon do what I want. Technically part of ‘Not Of Heroes’ verse, though they’re only mentioned in passing.
Blah Blah Symbolism, Something Something Anders - a song illustration for Superhero by Johnny Hollow bc I’m replaying DA2 & it’s very mage rebellion. THE BOIS IN CHARGE CELEBRAAATE THEIR CUNNING GAME OF SWITCH AND BAAAIT-
That One Handers Werewolf AU With No Smut - now with smut. And cannibalism.
You Met Me At a Very Strange Time In My Life - a ficlet I should’ve finished ages ago concerning the details of Samson and Anders’ plan re: Chantry boom.
Rat Wives Rat Wives Rat Wives - a post-canon lurkwin fic. Billy and human!Outsider return to Dunwall after travelling the isles for a few years. Planning stage.
Abbey Of The Everyman Has Gay Vibes And I’ll Die On This Hill - a dying Overseer bonds with a fatally wounded Witch. Coz y’know, same gay hat. Not really sure where this one will go but I’m a sucker for the ‘think who the real enemy is’ thing. Planning stage.
Nothing Stands Between an Angry Cantonese Woman And Her Settled Status. Not Even Aliens. - a long-term original project I’m adding to bit by bit. Bunch of disabled people fight a rich guy with the power of love and a sniper rifle. Rich guy’s wife says fuck you to the dead wife trope. Man in a wheelchair forms a found family with an underage caretaker and a deaf-mute assassin. The angry woman fucks an alien. There’s a robot and it swears. Cyberpunk, post-apocalypse, space opera, weird bullshit.
tagging @jowanmancer @hoochieblues @ocean-in-my-rebel-soul @ryanstormarts @massgrav and offering any passer-by a free chance to summon me to your blog to stare menacingly at your wips like they owe me money. no pressure~

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?
I’m a sucker for a great workplace dynamic, the “trying to be professional while inexorably succumbing to slow burn” trope - also I just find office settings hilarious generally. I love genre-specific AUs! cyberpunk AUs! Western AUs! heist/caper AUs! and the Holy Grail for me, the noir AU (that said, I’m something of a noir aficionado and thus hold noir AUs to an unreasonably high standard, which means there are only a couple I’ve ever actually liked).
T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?
I’m allergic to fluff. I also never like the tendency to disempower one character in a ship - I prefer my ships to meet on equal footing.
W: Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones?
Specific! Weirdly specific, in fact.

Well this is part one of the story based on the AU I decided to make for Cyberpunk where everything the same but Johnny Silverhand was put into cryo freeze instead of dying and he becomes your reluctant room mate. Jackie is still alive in this AU welcome to the Fix it fic
I do plan on make more of these if you guys end up liking this story. I'm a sucker for reluctant room mates becoming lovers.
Also this hasn't been prof read or edited so we all die like real people.
I've changed this a bit since I first made it but hey i like it more like this.
Altira is Valcorian's infant daughter who is now about 1 year and half old.
This is a Johnny silverhand x Male V
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Frozen heart and bullets to the head
Alot had happened since since Valcorian woke up with a parasite Rockerboy in his head and one of those things was Johnny silverhand a Rockerboy legend who may or may not have had his body in a cryogenic freeze for a good nearly 50 years wa finally back in his own body.
When Johnny opened his eyes for the first time in a long series of events it was a very now and strange experience. Everything looked different the man, V his friend and former host wrapped in bandages on a bed didn't help him figure out what had happened.
Johnny had taken about 3 hours getting used it the surrounding of the apartment once again. The last thing he really remembered was getting was saying good bye to Valcorian so why was he now bakc in thsi apartment. johnny had taken the time to have quite a few cigarettes before the mystery man even opens his eyes.
V's eyes opened very slowly as he groaned in discomfort before sitting up in his bed. This resulted in him getting a head spin which almost make him want to throw up again.
This eyes finally adjust to the lights him his apartment he's met with a set of almost dark maroon coloured eyes. He shoots back in bed and hits his head against the wall.
"Holy shit!, Johnny! Is that you?" He yells looking at the man standing in front of him.
"Sure is sweet cheeks" Johnny replys as he takes another drag of his cigarette. It slowly turns into a state of silence between both men as they try and figure everything going thought there minds.
V is the first to break. " is this my mind playing tricks on me again or are you really back in your body?"
Valcorian Vilus, you really think I'd be here is i wasn't " Johnny contemplates what to say next. "Val.. thank you, for you know getting me out"
V laughs as he sits back up fliching at the pain" I don't know how you got here but you were in a freezer when.. when Jackie and I found you anything after that's kinda a blur, fuck is Jackie and Takemura alright!"
A V shoots up from the bed a shot of pain courses thought his body. V's hears the familiar ringtone of a call come thought . "I got to take this" Johnny walks away before having a look around to see if he can find anything that could be of uses to him.
V anwsers the call with the name Takemura showing about it. "Takemura! are.. are you and Jackie both ok?" V's nerves were out of the roof and he was kind of worried.
"V.. im glad to hear from you, are you well. I woudl liek to meet at Tom's diner" the man on the other line made V smile.
"Im alright Goro just a little sore, im glad to hear that you are alright, scared me half to death" Johnny looked over to V from his spot on the lounge chair.
"Is that Saki Scum?" Johnny called out, V glared at Johnny before going back to talk with his friend.
Takemura went quite for a second "Is that Silverhand?" V let out a sigh before he begin to get up. " Yea it is, um Goro when you get a chance can you Get Jackie or Misty to call me I need to hank them for looking after my daughter"
Goro gives a hum of approval "I will do them know, see you at Tom's diner" wirh that Takemura hangs up.
"Let's get this day over with" V mumbled to himself. Johnny continued to watch V as he made his way into the bathroom and disappeared for a good 15 minutes, Johnny got up and made his way over to he door. "You all good in there shit for Brains" he yelled as he slammed his fist against the door.
A whimper came from inside the bathroom, Johnny opens the door to find V curled up on the floor of the shower. "The fuck happened to you" V let's out another whimper as he musters up the energy to call our to him. "Help... please"
Johnny lets our an annoyed groan as he walks over and turns the shower off and picks up the young man on the floor.
"Your lucky your the one who got me out of the freezer otherwise I wouldn't give two shits if you were drowning in there V" V crack a small smile as Johnny places him on the bed and wraps the sheets around him. Valcorian let's out a small thank you too Johnny.
"Yea, yea kid whatever. Don't go to sleep just yet let get some fluids into you" V's head looks over to the man who is now in his kitchen looking thought his fridge.
V lays his head back down on his pillow and he starts to dose off a little. He feels a tap on his face that makes his eyes shoot open.
"Relax" Johnny says before he moves V into a sitting position and hands him the cup of water. "Drink up, then you can go to sleep" With that Johnny goes to move away from V.
V grabs Johnny by the arm before looking up to him. "Please, I... i dont want to be alone.." V's lips tremble as he holds onto Johnnys arm.
" alright scoot over then princess, if I've got to be your knight in shining armor you have to share the bed" V moves over letting johnny move to be on the bed, he take a few sips of the water in the cup and decided to just scull it.
"You will make yourself vomit and I'm not having you chucking all over me" johnny growls and he grabs the cup for V's hands.
"Now lay down and go to sleep, I'll wake you if something burns down ,breaks in or if Altira comes home with Jackie or Misty, now go to sleep Valcorian " Valcorian nodes and pulls the bed sheets up to his chin, he snuggles into his pillows
"Thanks Johnny, it's good to have you back"
"Its good to be back"
eventually both V and Johnny falls asleep.

tog/khunbam fic rec
this is for @cannottranslate because you asked for it and i am grateful for the excuse to make a fic rec post
i expect this will be a long post so i’ll put it under read ↓
i’ll be leaving my own thoughts and comments under each fic (im sorry in advance for rambling too much)!! if you want the full summary and other info please click on the link provided lol
!!webtoon spoilers beware!!
♡ = one of my favourites
canon timeline
(these will be the ones that are set in the canon world and follow major plot events, even if there some changes in the details and relationships)
♡ deep sea blue by Feyren ♡
please read everything written by feyren!!!! lovely prose, wonderfully written khunbam emotional tension. khun braiding his beautiful hair accompanied by symbolism and perfectly crafted metaphor. bonus earrings.
♡ hollow moons by NoteInABottle ♡
please also read everything by noteinabottle!! equally lovely prose, wonderfully written khunbam emotional tension. khun wearing earrings and giving them to bam, accompanied by lots of symbolism and perfectly crafted metaphor. you could probably consider this a companion fic to feyren’s deep sea blue. both of these fics gave me a Thing for khun’s earrings (>_<;)``
take my hand (take my whole life too) by RadiantAshe
our dear ashe has written lots of great stuff but i think this is my favourite!! so much khunbam softness, very classic s3 vibes <33
Chestnuts at Nighttime by khunfounded (ongoing)
khun with a cat who loves him very much, and vice versa. that’s all the explanation you need. this fic overloads my heart with cute soft fluffy feelings!!! (bonus khun and bam dolls with little hands made of velcro so they can hold each other’s hands (ʘ‿ʘ✿) please i can’t take any more of this, somebody help my heart is gonna explode)
a thousand paths to you by LiannaAila
set during the time of khun’s coma. bam travels to a parallel universe and meets an alive and awake khun. this fic is exactly what it says it is and it’s so lovely <3
oh no he’s hot (and other earth-shattering revelations) by Bird_of_Dreams
tldr; bam being thirsty over khun
khun aguero agnis and his growing competency kink by chuuyaya
tldr; khun being thirsty over bam
motion by smokeandwaves (rated Explicit)
set during hell train, khunbam focused. this one is really popular in the fandom!! it’s well written, and if you consider smut a genre i would say this is the best one in the tog tag. lots of emotions, and a wonderful flow of feeling!! also it has a few sequel fics in the series, ‘obedience’ in particular being all about sub!khun,, which is,, (*ﾉωﾉ)
sometimes when i look into your eyes i pretend you're mine by agueros (minamis)
residents of the tower ship jue viole grace and khun aguero agnis and write fanfiction about them (i love these types of fics lmao)
From: Khun by AngrySheepProject
and To you who lies with my heart under the sea by Strawbellie666 (ongoing)
khun messaging bam’s pocket when he thought he was dead in s2
canon divergence + future canonverse
(future fics means it’s set in the future of the current canon, which at the nest arc rn)
♡ A World Without You by Breaking_Formation ♡
this one might be my favourite out of all of them. i know it says major character death but it happens in the beginning and there’s a promised happy ending so don’t worry!!! this one is a beautiful 20k word masterpiece.... seriously..... this fic is set after the nest arc, it has lots of Plot and plays around with the world and the lore of the Tower, so it’s already fascinating that way, but the real heart of the story is in the emotions!! if you love witnessing khun’s endless devotion to bam, this is the fic that shows you that devotion reflected right back at khun. it might bring you to tears :’)
♡ Our Hearts Are Made of Stars by Ruinous ♡ (ongoing)
out of the 5 or so other time travel au fics in the tog fandom, this one is definitely my favourite!! time travel aus are all super fun to read, but this one stood out to me especially because it hits all the right spots!! it’s written well and i love the level of foresight, and the emotions detailed into this, it really feels like the friendships and bonds are at the heart of this story and all the fighting stuff will turn out just fine, and everything will be ok :)
♡ enough by Feyren ♡
future fic, set in a cocktail party on the 87th floor. this is so well written!!!!! again, please just read everything written by feyren. the prose is wonderful and everything going on in this fic feels so well-crafted and carefully executed with just the right amount of subtlety in all the emotions. i think it’s gorgeous.
fire and ice by soundscape (ongoing)
set vaguely in the future. still ongoing, and the story feels like it’s just started, but very intriguing plot!! premise is people trying to separate khun from bam + the team trying to deal with shady fug plots
dig down deep by milkywxy (ongoing)
this one is a plotty one!! diverges from canon at the hidden floor arc. bam decides not to let rachel go with them. im super interested to see where this story goes!!
where the current leaves us by macrauchenia (ongoing)
this one is a Plotty one, still in the early stages of plot development but the premise is super interesting!! basically khun takes bam’s place in the bubble with rachel, during the administrator’s test on the 2nd floor. i’m excited to see where this story goes :D
special mentions for “bam climbs the tower” remix concept fics that you might like to check out (this is for you dango, since you said you like togverse canon divergence :D)

Second Chance by Shadow_to_rant (ongoing, time travel au)

(please also check out chuuyaya’s other fics if you like khunbam aus!!)
if there's anything in this life ive been waiting for (its you) by trueaguero (ongoing)
fascinating au where everyone is outside the tower and the tower is part of history. perhaps you could call this a “post-tower au” ?
if my heart was a house by The_Winged_Warrior

hope and legacy by chuuyaya (figure skating au)
♡ jump then fall (i'll catch you) by agueros (minamis) ♡

Okay so I'm making my way through your masterlist and I'm in love?? Like let's start off with Winter's Child- a masterpiece. You make Sansa a loving and relatable character and interweave the powers into cannon in a way that actually makes cannon make more sense (preconceived biases and such). Jon and Sansa's relationship is SO SWEET and they way they bonded was absolutely adorable (and the backstory with the houses and the powers they have make so much sense) 1/3
(2/3) Neon Rain literally the best Cyberpunk AU! I've ever read. Like what you did with the world building?? The stark class differences (haha see what I did there?), the choices in SOUND, and I could FEEL myself there! I love the family dynamics between the Starks and I'm loving the little details you're dropping with the Greyjoy's , Jon's parentage, and all of the medical procedures. Jon is dramatic af and I love it and Sansa is a bamf AS SHE SHOULD. Nothing but love for this
(3/3) A Past Worth Having has a special place in my heart. You build up this setting like a tapestry, just seeing more richness and depth the longer you look. I'm proud of Sansa for holding her composure, just FEELING in the angst that the older Starks feel at her return, and loving the relationships with Robin and the rest of the Starks + Jon Arryn. The detail that you're putting into the investigation/Oberyn is awe inspiring and I can't wait to see what you do next with the trial + Jonsa
Haha thank you so much!!! This is such a sweet ask to get! My response is under a cut, because this might get kind of long! (lots of my own meta below, bc i accidentally had a lot to say, haha)
With ‘Winter’s Child’ I’ve really enjoyed weaving in fantasy elements to the world because I like to look at stories and pick at loose threads until they unravel and asking ‘what if?’. I thought it would be a super interesting concept to take a character like Sansa, who in ASOIAF is exactly what she is supposed to be as a noblewoman of her class and conforms very well in that role, and put her in a position where she was essentially a societal outcast in a lot of ways! In WC, Sansa has a lot of similar coping mechanisms to ASOIAF Sansa, in that she sort of romanticizes society to avoid thinking about how absolutely awful it is. In ASOIAF, Sansa holds tight to the notion of knights and chivalry and courtly love to cope with the fact that she essentially has no control over her future and, as a woman, is basically property. In WC, I have her really struggling to make herself into that perfect lady and using that as a sort of shield to the fact that, without a gift, there isn’t anything she can do to improve her lot in life. Sansa has these ideas about becoming a perfect lady and hoping that being perfect in other areas will ‘make up’ for what society perceives as deficient about her, but is more jaded than ASOIAF Sansa due to her age and her earlier exposure to the ills of society. So you get a Sansa who gets along better with Arya and Jon as a result, in part because she’s had that exposure to what it’s like to be an outcast in society. I think that the best fantasy has a really strong emotional backdrop (a really great example is ‘Fruits Basket’ which starts by hooking you with this wacky, fun premise about people in a family turning into animals when hugged by a member of the opposite sex, and slowly builds into a point where you can see that the family ‘curse’ is a representation of generational and familial abuse- of bonds that should be broken, and of bonds that may kill us even as we cling to them- it’s extremely complex and rich and if you haven’t read or watched it, I can’t recommend it highly enough), and so while I really love writing about the fantasy aspects, and writing scenes where Sansa does really cool things with her ice powers, the core of the story is really about Sansa coming into her own, and learning that she was a person who was worth something even without any sort of gift. Sort of overcoming societal stigma and realizing your worth and forcing others to see it. It’s so much fun to write, but i’m stuck at the moment, because i need to reread the books, and my roommate is borrowing them right now haha!
God, APWH is like, indulging my inner world-building suspense-narrative loving writer persona. It’s literally my all time favorite trope- which is of someone growing up to find out that they’re a long-lost somebody or have family they never knew about- combined with a lot of research on trauma (which i’ve been doing for academic and other reasons for a while) and a lot of slowly growing psychological horror courtesy of Petyr Baelish (trust me, it’s going to get WAY more intense). There are so many pieces of media that I love, but I think that GRRM has so many characters and such a well fleshed out world that it’s very fun to dive into his worlds and create something there. Inherently, I love a slowly unraveling mystery and morally gray characters, and this is allowing me to indulge in both!!! World-building is my favorite, because i tend to be fairly detail oriented, and i’ve been laying bread crumbs in so many places throughout the story to hopefully build up to a decent conclusion! I know sort of how it ends, and I think people are going to absolutely lose their minds if I execute it correctly. We have a few chapters to go until we get to anything in the semblance of a trial- there’s some more emotional aspects that I think need to get addressed first, and so I’m so grateful that people are so supportive of being willing to wait for the Jonsa, because they really start spending a lot of time with each other during the trial and prior to the trial (i’m a big believer in bonding via long car rides and so there’s a lot of that!). I’m just so humbled and awed by the response to it- I never dreamed that people would enjoy the story this much- when I started it, I was writing a light-hearted family piece that wouldn’t be too long, and, uh, it kind of evolved from there. Clearly, I am not good at keeping things concise haha.
I left Neon Rain for last, because your comments on this one really made me smile! Of all of my stories, oddly enough, Neon Rain is actually the most deeply personal for me, and I’m just so flattered at your kind words! I spend a lot of my time thinking about the flaws inherent in our society, and without getting too detailed, Sansa’s experience with a family member struggling in the medical system is not unfamiliar to me. There’s a weight that comes with the realization that a system that is supposed to care for people is based on capitalistic ideals of profit maximization, and as someone who has experience working in the healthcare system- no matter how bad you think it is in the US, I can promise you it’s actually worse.
Neon Rain actually just started out as a series of mental images from listening to music that I had to get down on paper, and evolved from there. I actually really love the ‘soulmates’ and ‘class differences’ and ‘mastermind art thief’ tropes, but am incapable of writing fun stories without thinking about the reality of those tropes (see APWH for another extreme example of this haha), and so as I was writing and trying to capture this mental image, the rest of the world began unfolding around me. Jon is different because of a different upbringing here, and so is Sansa, and to see the formerly idealistic Sansa become so jaded by the time she meets her soulmate is just catnip for me. You have this interesting dynamic between them, because Jon wants nothing more than to have Sansa in his life, and give her everything she wants and needs, but where the old Sansa (who was arguably middle-class and somewhat naive, as financially secure teenagers understandably tend to be) would have swooned over that, the Sansa who meets Jon when the story begins is seeing the world and all the unfair and unequal systems in it. She can’t just live happily ever after with him right away- there’s a sense of guilt there, of sansa not feeling like she deserves nice things, and there’s also Sansa’s deep sense of compassion and kindness that won’t allow her to just live life as the well taken-care-of girlfriend of a wealthy man, because she isn’t able to just put on blinders and pretend that all the injustice in the world around her doesn’t exist, simply because it wouldn’t affect her that way anymore.
I think that the core to writing Sansa, for me, in any universe, is that she is a kind and compassionate person who is capable of feeling sympathy towards even the people who have done horrific things to her and her family- that emotional awareness and empathy is a harsh thing to have in a world like Neon Rain, and in our own world, honestly. I’m so glad that you appreciate Sansa’s BAMF-ness in the story- I think that her chapters demonstrate that she is capable of doing extraordinary things when she’s doing them for people she cares for, to be kind (The scene where Alayne helps Robin down from the eyrie is most indicative of this I think), and so in this world, I just love having Sansa be a complete badass out of necessity. Also, it’s fanfiction, and I really wanted to give Sansa a cool motorcyle, because no one else was gonna do it!!!
Also, my characters like to run away with me, and before I knew it, Rodrik Greyjoy had a huge adorable crush on Sansa in the story that I immensely enjoy writing. The Greyjoys are fun because they’re all absolutely insane, and i’m a total sucker for ‘gruff dangerous character is completely a sucker for the kind sunshine-y character’ trope.
God, this accidentally got really long??? I’m sorry- thank you so much for such a kind ask!!! I love hearing what people think of my stories, and this was so sweet :)

building on that anon's idea: cyberpunk! au in which a city is in the grasp of a crime syndicate run by a dangerous man named Muzan, people have been disappearing into the underbelly of the city, never to be seen again. It's rumoured that Muzan has been using those people to build super-enhanced soldiers in his own bid for perfect immortality, but a certain group of vigilantes known as the Pillars get in his way time and time again... 👀 - 🔥
The way this is worded sounds like an episode of Scooby Doo...
BUT THIS SOUNDS INCREDIBLE!
(also I’m a sucker for cyberpunk shit so I’m happy to see people joining in on this!!)

I was tagged by @angelwhispersunknown and @onlymeandlife (thanks!)
Favorite color: Mmm I want to say black because it's like 70(?) percent of my wardrobe but also a sucker for pale blues/pink and cherry red (think 50s cars or appliances)
Three favorite foods: That's a hard question, there are too many 😅 I'm going to have to say really good pizza (with a wood-fired crust, none of that frozen stuff), homemade pirogi and risotto with mushrooms.
Song stuck in my head: Makes Me Feel Better--OnenO and Slavoj McAllister
Last song I listened to: Assassin by Au/Ra
Last thing I googled: "canvas UMN"--trying to check grades and boring school stuff
Dream trip: England or Ireland to go look at old castles--currently studying Medieval manuscripts and it'd be fabulous to see some of the really well known ones in person.
Time: 10:42am
Last movie: Recently re-watched the John Wick series.
Tea or coffee: Coffee definitely. I like tea but coffee usually wins out--especially if there's chocolate in it.
Last show: Life in Color on Netflix, needed something quiet in the background (and David Attenborough's narration is always so relaxing <3)
Currently reading: The Omnivore's Dilemma--been meaning to read it for a while and just never got around to it.
Currently watching playing: Cyberpunk 2077.
Sweet, spicy, or savory: I have a big sweet tooth--or more than one honestly. I used to work in a bakery and never really got out of the habit.
Tagging @shinycorvidae @solo-net @darkendkurai and @faepunkprince if y'all are interested--no pressure though <3

I have four Goro x Vera fanfiction projects I’ll be working on in April-May.
In This Life ( And The Next ) - Soulmate AU Where both Vera and Goro know they’re each other’s soulmates, but Goro’s disgust at her mercenary background and Vera’s unyielding hatred of the corporation he serves, as well as her disappointment that her soulmate is an Arasaka bootlicker, makes it impossible for them to get along.
( Lots of angst and a steady slow burn that won’t drag on for thirty chapters. It’s mostly an Enemies to Friends to Lovers sort of thing because I am fascinated by soulmates that don’t immediately fall for each other at first sight or don’t always get along. )
Afterlife Cafe - Coffee Shop AU is in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, where Vera and Jackie work part-time as mercenaries and baristas at Rogue’s coffee shop, The Afterlife, the only cafe in Night City famous for its use of organic ingredients to make coffee, tea, snacks, etc. Goro Takemura is a regular who goes to the Afterlife for its tea and a chance to speak to the quiet, purple-haired barista who speaks fluent Japanese and gets his order right every time.
( Not the usual cute and quirky coffee shop au because Night City is terrible, and the baristas are forced to defend themselves and their customers whenever a gang war breaks out in front of the cafe. However, it’s not all doom and gloom because I’ll be focusing on Goro and Vera’s growing relationship. Also, I’d love to see more coffee shop aus in the cyberpunk universe! That’d be awesome! )
Stray Dog Among Wolves - Bodyguard AU. In which Vera is the favored bodyguard of Yorinobu Arasaka. Unbeknownst to him, Vera struggles with her hatred towards the corporation that wiped out her entire nomad family and stole her away when she was a child to mold her into the perfect weapon. For years, she has blended in and plots to use the Arasaka civil war to make her escape. Goro Takemura, the right hand of Saburo Arasaka, is the only one who sees right through her facade and vows to expose her. But when Yorinobu murders his father in a fit of rage and frames both bodyguards for his death, the two must set aside their differences to clear their names.
( I honestly don’t know if I’ll ever write this because I have a feeling that the fic will be at least sixty pages long due to political intrigue, Arasaka family drama, Yorinobu being a hot mess, and Vera being tired as hell of the constant bullshit she finds herself in. Will have Enemies to Lovers because the sexual tension between her and Goro is out of control. )
Running Backwards - Next Gen Time Travel AU. When an accident thrusts Hikaru Takemura in the year 2077, she is forced to help her unknowing parents expose Yorinobu’s crime. But it’s hard trying to bond with two people who are nothing like the loving parents she left behind especially when one of them has an expiration date. Honestly, how the hell did they manage to live this long to conceive her?
( I’m a sucker for time travel aus and I wanted an excuse to show off my newest oc Hikaru Takemura. The only child of Goro and Vera, and a hardcore Silverhand fan. )
#solo musings#ooc stuff#pet projects#otp: two souls indivisible#I need to work on one thing at a time#I'm strongly leaning towards working on the cafe au#because I want an excuse to write about tea#anyways you all can use my ideas to write your own fics if you want! 8D#They've been rattling around in my mind since early January and I needed to talk about them#oh and Hikaru Takemura is another oc I've been working on#( .vera x takemura. )

Thank you for the tag, @bl--ankhaeji !! Love you hun and sorry this took so long<3
(btw, I’m basically giving mini descriptions, which I suck at, so please give these a read even though these descriptions will do nothing for them lol)
To Call You Mine || Part 1 (Kun) : I definitely did not write this on a complete whim when I saw THAT photo of Kun in that blue suit (Pictured at the top in my fic). He just looked so pretty, I couldn’t resist haha. Anyways, in short, it is about the daughter of a wealthy business conglomerate being in love with her strict, business-like assistant, Mr. Kun himself. While it sounds extremely bland, it gets a little ~~~spicy~~~ by the end after a few glasses of wind and crumbling inhibitions, so give it a read if you want. It is also part one, so I will be releasing part two soon!!
Muse (Johnny) : I like this fic because it is about photographer Johnny! This fic deals more with image portrayal and self love, so the thought of this one warms my heart as I think a lot of us need more self love in our lives haha. Let’s just say that Mr. Johnny leads us on our journey to accepting ourselves as we are.
Royal Flour (Jeno) : A three part series that I keep putting off, but I do have a part one! Issa little rough, but it’s about a small baker in a sect of a large overarching kingdom owned by the royal family. Jeno is the prince, as he should be, and he just can’t seem to take a liking to any of his potential suitors. Could the worlds of royalty and peasant class potentially collide harmoniously? Tbh, Idk, but read it to find out ;) Honestly, a sugary fic with super duper fluffs. Hope you give it a read :)
My Baby Don’t Like It (Jaehyun and Mark) : Another three part series that I only have part one for, are we noticing a trend yet? I like this fic because I tried developing the dynamics between characters a little more compared to my other fics. And tbh, there be some dramatic ish, because why not lol. Its basically about a messy ass triangle between reader, Mark, and Jaehyun with mini Jeno holding it all together. And trust me, you want to read this one for baby Jeno :D
Connected (NCT 127) : Finally, this is my only running series that I actually have gasp three parts to, albeit one of them being the prologue... Anyways, with cyberpunk as a theme of interest rn *cough* Cyberpunk 2077 *cough* I wanted to bring this series back to light because I am an absolute sucker for cyberpunk aus and themes. I don’t want to reveal too much, but basically the city and world have gone to shit. Society is in ruins and normalcy isn’t quite... normal. Rising underground group NCT is setting out to regain their country, but it seems like a certain elite force can’t let them have it that simply. Join me for the ride as chaos ensues:)
I kinda have no one to tag, so if you are a writer who sees this, feel free to do this!!

Can we ask stuff about your aus? I’m really interested in your squad c and cyber aus!!
Oh HELL YEAH I'm always down to yell about my aus (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧ I have a lot more written about the cyberpunk one on my blog right now, but squad C defo has more of a plot.
I'm assuming you found all the deku variations? Theres lot more cyberpunk stuff in the "bnha au" tag on my blog. But ask away!
Side note: both these aus have a similar style of "higher power is controlling super powered kids" because I'm such a sucker for that kind of stuff. Cyberpunk it's Endeavor Labs and squad C it's a part of the government that are the antagonists.
But yeah if you have any specific questions I'll definitely be happy to answer them! I am working on timelines/in depth summaries for my favorite aus but they take me a while lol hopefully I'll get them posted soon!
#thank you anon you have brought a spark back to me#bnha au#cyberpunk#squad c#squid words#ill try to make more in depth summaries and hopefully youll see them#someday ill actually WRITE#but today is not that day

rp and art friend(s) search
i don’t really use tumblr (this is my acc from like 2014 lol) but toyhouse feels a little dead lately and i’m unfamiliar with dA so. i am here to search. info below the cut:
-i live in est timzeone and reply around 1 or 2 times a day usually, in third person past tense para style. sometimes more depending on how busy i am. i rp using discord.
-that being said i’m 18+ but comfortable rping with minors so long as we don’t do anything nsfw. but anyone below 15 i wouldn’t feel that comfy with.
-i am looking for both 1x1 or group. i am picky about groups because i don’t like huge groups but if you have one i will be willing to check it out and let you know if i think i’d be a good fit !
-i mainly RP OCs, i have some in my head but am just as willing to create OCs for the sake of RP. some fandoms i might be interested in RPing include: maplestory, fire emblem echoes/heroes, and FFXIV (i haven’t finished the game yet though so please bear with me). ask for more details, don’t be shy!
-not a requirement for the most part but. HUUUUUUGE plus if you are into making art, specifically art of ocs. i’m an amateur artist (started drawing last year) but looking to improve, and i’d love an art buddy to share designs with and stuff. i’m really not big on using faceclaims, anime or real person, but i can work with it i guess.
-i’m a huge sucker for fantasy AUs and urban fantasy/cyberpunk settings. modern/slice of life is harder for me but i can try to make it work too. i don’t have exact plot ideas though, so if you bring some to the table i’ll love you.
-MELODRAMA. i fucking love melodrama and angst and romance and all that jazz.
-please be literate and understandable, and write more than 2 paragraphs on average. i need some stuff to work with when i reply!
-above all i am kinda looking for a friend, someone i can chat and hit it off with....i will reply to chat stuff more often than RP posts, of course. it’d just be nice to meet someone who is enthusiastic about the same things i am into! i am a little shy though so it might take a bit for me to open up.
so yeah. send me a message and i’ll send you my discord so we can chat more :)

I & M for the fanfic asks, please and thank you! <3
Thank you for the ask!
I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?
In reading, I’m such a sucker for slow burns, arranged marriage, romantic misunderstandings, all that super romantic stuff. But I’m incapable of writing a slow burn. The characters just don’t wait.
M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?
Well, there’s a vampire AU that’s not really back- and more frontburnery, there’s a fenhawke fic where it’s about building trust and non-sexual intimacy and they don’t have sex until way way later (I know! how on Earth?), some magic realism and magic cyberpunk, there’s that original shifterwolf novel and then there’s a little secret here and there... And what I really want to do is more exchanges with original stories.
