#ngl I’m scared lol

[morkiemcfly]

I’m super conflicted on the Zelda movie announcement. Like, the series is so fantastical and even downright strange and has sooo many elements that would just work a lot better in animation. However there’s also a lot of elements that could also translate well into live action IF they do it right. Apparently Miyamoto and Nintendo are going to be super involved so maybe they’ll surprise us. But the live action is really going to make or break it.

Night City Crawlers (Cyberpunk 2077 x The Lost Boys AU) Poly!Lost Boys x Fem!Reader

A/N:Hi! I wanted to make this au because like I love cyberpunk and I thought the boys would fit really well within the universe. I’m ngl this is really self indulgent lol. I’m gonna have 4 more parts where each chapter is about the growing relationship between reader and each boy.

Pairings: Poly!Lost Boys x Reader

Word Count: ~3k

Warnings:Mentions of poverty (Reader lives in their car), cursing, reader is mentioned to have a cybernetic metal leg but there’s no other physical descriptions beyond that, Paul gets bullied a little, lmk if I missed anything else!

It was a gloomy day, fucking humid, but gloomy. It had been raining off and on all day. Rain soaking every surface in Night City. If you actually had your own place you’d be inside, but considering you were still living out of your truck a year after leaving the Aldecados you didn’t have it in you to stay in your car all day. So here you are, at night, walking along the boardwalk in Pacifica. Rain and sweat coating the skin that was exposed.

You leisurely strolled, soon coming up to a group of men standing around a console for a defunct roller coaster. Two of them were bickering. “I thought you said you knew how to fix it!” A tall blonde whined, hair teased and set in every which way. “I do! Will you get off my dick?!” A short blonde with curly hair shot back, shoving the taller one.

Two other men stood nearby, one a tall broad brunette he seemed to be amused by the other boy’s actions. Lastly a platinum blonde stood away from the rest, he leaned on the platform leading up to where one would get on the roller coaster. A cigarette hung from his lips.

While you got closer you noticed strange symbols on their jackets, all the same. You averted your gaze as you got closer, not wanting to cause any trouble ‘cause you couldn’t keep your eyes ahead of you.

You thought you were out of the woods as soon as you passed the only man keeping guard.

“You’re a long way from home, little girl.”

You turned around. “Excuse me?”

“Your jacket, it says Aldecados on it. What’s a little thing like you doing in Night City?”

The blonde dropped his cigarette on the ground and stomped it out before taking two steps towards you. His voice got the attention of the other men.

“Fuck you, you look just as old as me, dirt bag!”

He let out a breathy chuckle and smirked, clearly amused by your reaction. “Oouuu~ feisty~” You looked up to see the two blondes bickering at the console with their eyes trained on you. The small one smiling as he sized you up, thumb held up near his mouth. “Hey, hot mama! How’d you get the cool leg?” The wild one called out to you, drawing attention to your metal cybernetic leg, one you customized with car paint.

“It got blown off by a raven shiv a few years back.” You explained. “Hell yeah! That’s badass!” You shifted in place from the compliment. “Thanks.” You huffed out.

Your eyes went to the Brunette who had yet to say anything, he simply looked at you with an unreadable expression.

“You think you can fix this for us, babe?” The small one asked, pointing to the console. You thought about it before hesitantly nodding. You didn’t doubt your abilities, but you needed a moment to weigh your options. These guys were kind of fucking strange, just like the rest of Night City, but you weren’t explicitly threatened by them.

You walked up to the console, after plugging yourself in you began hacking. In your trance you didn’t notice the men huddling around.

“You think we should invite her?” A voice said it belonged to the smaller man.

“I think so, she’s hot.” The wild one spoke up, chuckling after his statement.

“Paul only wants her in ‘cause she looks like one of his BD girls.” A deep voice you haven’t heard before said.

“Hey! That’s not true!” Paul you assumed, whined

“He’s right, Dwayne! She looks like one of his favorite joytoys!” The small one retorted

You almost had to restart hacking the console because you were being nosey and listening in on their conversation, but it was the most amusing thing you’ve ever listened to.

“I don’t even pay for joytoys dickhead! You know that Marko!” The men simply laughed at Paul’s reply.

“Yeah! Cause you’re so ugly BD girls are the only ones you can get!” Marko replied.

At this point you were done unlocking the console and turned to see Paul lunge at Marko, but he quickly dodged Paul, too quickly, like he phased out of reality and reappeared. You had gotten into scuffles with Tyger Claws plenty of times so this kind of tech wasn’t new to you, but what Marko had was on a whole other level.

Paul quickly turned to see Marko running away at a human pace. Paul almost disappeared just to show up in front of Marko. Marko, laughing the entire time, “tried” to run away. Paul simply reached out to grab the collar of Marko’s highly embellished jacket to bring him into a headlock.

You watched in amusement as the two bickered back and forth, your lips quirking up into a smile.

“What do you say, girly? Wanna join us?”

You nearly jumped out of your skin at the proximity of the voice. You turned around to see the platinum blonde standing face to face with you. You whipped your head around to look at where he was previously standing only to see the brunette shoot you a wink. There’s no way he could’ve gotten this close to you without breaching your line of sight… unless he also had the same chrome as Marko and Paul.

Looking back at him he had a smirk stuck on his face.

You took a minute to weigh your options.

There’s no way you could fight or run away from them, they would slaughter you before you even had the chance. You had no idea what they wanted with you, they could be looking for sacrifices for all you knew. And lastly they were weird! Freaks even!

“I know what you’re thinking.” He said while he watched you wrack your brain. You audibly gulped. “Y-you do?” You wouldn’t be surprised if he could somehow read your thoughts, as impossible as that may be.

“Not literally, my optics can sense your emotional state.” You visibly relaxed.

“Obviously my boys took a liking to you, and you don’t have a tribe anymore.” He said while taking a gloved hand and flicking imaginary dust off your jacket.

“I’m just an ex-Aldecado, I can’t give you anything.”

“Well sure you can, you worked on all kinds of things in the Badlands right?”

You simply nodded.

“We have some bikes that could use some metinence.”

You thought for a moment, but were brought out of your haze when you heard yelling.

“We told you rats to stay out of Pacifica!”

“Shit! VDBs!” Dwayne yelled before running away with Marko and Paul in tow.

“Think about it.” He told you before running off with his pack. The Voodoo Boys ran after them as they let off their guns yelling obscenities. Within the commotion you made your escape.

—

A day passed since you last met the strange men in Pacifica. You now sat at a Takoyaki stand in Japan town, chin resting on your hand as you zoned out thinking about your strange encounter. You mindlessly took a bite out of your food. As you chewed you received a call. The caller ID read as unknown. You pondered who it could be, you didn’t know many people in Night City as is, but if you didn’t pick up the curiosity would eat at you.

You accepted the call. Your optics flashed blue before an image of the platinum blonde appears.

“Oh… it’s you.” You greet..

He smirked. “Don’t sound so excited.”

“I’m not.” You deadpanned

“So, did you think about my offer?” He asked, you took note of how eager he was for you to join his band of degenerates.

“I don’t even know your name, why should I even trust you.” You took another bite of your food, synthetic octopus and dough filling your mouth.

“What, you think I’m gonna whore you out like some joytoy?”

“And what if you do?” You responded with a mouth full of food. “I’m just saying, you guys are a little too pretty.”

He laughed at that, a hearty laugh filling your ears making you smile. “You really think I’m a pimp?”

“Well, you called them your boys… and I’d probably throw some eddies at the little blonde one if I had the cash.”

A broad smile stayed on his face as he shook his head, you didn’t want to admit it, but you liked the banter. “I’ll be sure to tell Marko that, anyway, think about my offer and make up your mind before night fall. Once you do come to the location I’m sending over by 9 sharp.”

“What do I get out of this?” You asked, before you even made a decision you needed to know what you were getting into. A life of squalor was much more promising than accidentally becoming a slave to psychos with chrome you’ve never seen.

“Well, if you come you’ll find out. Don’t keep me waiting, doll.” He shot You a wink and promptly hung up. Soon after you received a text.

“Here’s the location”

Your gps marked the outskirts of Corpo plaza just bordering Heywood.

Later you received another text.

“Tell the guy out front you need to talk to The Lost Boys, he’ll let you in. Remember, I don’t like to wait ;)”

Sighing you paid the food stand owner and got up to go about your day.

—

9 finally rolled around after what felt like an eternity. You were oddly giddy at the thought of seeing all the men again, but you weren’t sure why.

The location took you straight to Valentinos territory. You kept your head on a swivel as you looked around. Passing El Pinche Pollo, two Valentino’s sized you up. You kept your gaze straight and held your head high, as long as you looked confident and minded your business you were sure you’d be left alone. During your short time in the city you’ve found that the Valentinos were the only gang that had respect for others, unlike Tyger Claws and worst of all, Malestrom.

Soon you stood outside of the exact location. Bright pink fluorescent lights illuminated the small alley. ‘Six Shots’ the lights spelled out, along with a pair of lips and 18+. Oh god, you really were about to sell your soul to a pimp.

A cough interrupted your thoughts. You looked up at the bouncer, he simply quirked an eyebrow at you. You could still back out if you wanted, pretend none of this even happened. But you decided to go through with it anyway.

You cleared your throat. “Uh, I needa talk to The Lost Boys.” He silently looked you up and down. After he was satisfied he stepped to the side, “Go to the back and take the elevator down to the basement.” You nodded and walked through the door.

After crossing the threshold your jaw dropped. Bodies were crowded together dancing alone or grinding up on each other. Platforms were suspended in air as various scantily clad men and women danced along with the pounding music. The mix of alcohol, sweat and sex swirled in the humid air, it was intoxicating.

You braced yourself as you pushed through the bodies. On your way to the back you couldn’t even count how many times you were groped, prodded and grabbed.

After barreling through the bodies you reached the back doors where another bouncer stood. His eyes flashed blue and your own optics notified you that you were being scanned. “The Lost Boys?” He shouted over the music. “Yeah!” You responded. He nodded and let you back. Once you were in the back you let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding in, the music was now muffled.

You were now standing in a corridor face to face with an elevator. You looked left and right and saw doors on either end, most likely for the dancers you thought. You pressed the call button for the elevator and entered once it came.

While it made the descent you began toying with the frayed hem of your shorts, the weight of what you were doing just now dawning on you. Now you couldn’t back out anymore, whatever happens happens and you have to deal with the consequences. If you do die at least it won’t be under usual circumstances you thought, getting your skull crushed in by an Animal could be far worse.

The elevator made a ‘ding’ once it reached the basement. Once the doors opened your jaw dropped, you weren’t sure what you were expecting but the place was a lot nicer than you thought. Once leaving the elevator you stepped into a large living space, the middle dipped in to house a pit filled with coushins and blankets. Right in front of the pit a large TV was anchored to the wall. To the right of the pit was a kitchenette and bar, where the small blonde happened to be. He was cleaning a cup until he looked up at you and smiled. “You came!” He seemed incredibly happy at your presence.

You gave him a small smile and raised your hand up to wave, it was by far the most awkward thing you’ve done. He cupped his hands around his mouth. “YO! DAVID! SHE’S HERE!”

You waited for a moment until the wild blonde came running out with the platinum blonde and brunette following behind.

“Babe!” Teased hair came bouncing towards you. He stopped in front of you and smiled, teeth showing. “Uh hey, how’s it going?” A smile was brought to your face, his attitude was contagious. Before you could answer, the platinum blonde pushed him aside. “Excuse Paul, he has a little crush.” You looked at Paul and watched him pout as he stood aside.

He extended his hand to you. “I’m David, and these are my boys. You already met Paul.” You shook David’s hand and shifted your gaze to Paul once more this time waving at you prompting you to wave back. “This is Marko.” David took back his hand and stepped aside revealing the curly haired man. “Hey.” He said, sizing you up again, you felt hot under his gaze. “Hey! Stop that!” Paul spoke up. “Stop what?” Marko responded. “You’re undressing her with your eyes!” Paul moved to shove Marko. “Awww, scared I’ll take away your girlfriend Paulie?” He mockingly cooed.

David let out a sigh and shook his head. “Sorry about them, they’re a little rowdy.”

“Shut up!” Paul shouted as he started grappling Marko. The smaller man laughed as he successfully riled up his partner.

You watched as David’s agitation grew. He huffed out air through his nose. “Dwayne, stop them.” The large brunette simply nodded and moved to the pair. Grabbing them by the back of their necks he pried them apart. Paul continued to reach for him and Marko stuck his tongue out and continued to mock him. “If you don’t cut it out I’ll break your necks.” Dwayne said as he tightened his grip on the two. Both quickly relented, reaching for his grip on them as they whined and sputtered out apologies, satisfied he smiled and released the two leaving them to crumple on the floor. David shot the taller a smile. “And this.” Dwayne strolled over to you and David. The blonde slapped a hand on his shoulder, “This is Dwayne.” He held out a hand to you. You shook his hand and looked up at him. You were startled at how beautiful he was. Dark narrow eyes rimmed by dark lashes looked down at you. You suddenly panicked and looked away, heat rising through your body. Dwayne noticed your reaction and chuckled, releasing your hand.

“So, let’s talk about our arrangement. Marko, get us some drinks.” You looked at Marko who was still writhing on the floor. “Got it!” He slowly got up and cracked his neck. “I’m good.” You looked at Paul and gave him a worried look. David and Dwayne walked over to the bar where Marko was working. “Hey, are you okay?” You gently nudged Paul as he lay on the floor. He opened his eyes and gave you a goofy grin. Smiling back you reached out a hand for him to grab, quickly he took it and stood to his full height. He kept his hand wrapped around yours as his blue eyes bore into yours.

You heard a snort. “I think I can see the hearts in his eyes.” Marko commented.

“Alright, Casanova.” David stood up to seat you by the bar. Once sat he cleared his throat. You could’ve sworn you heard Paul whine as well.

“What you get out of our arrangement is a safe place to sleep, protection from all of us if you ever need it, a cut from whatever missions we go on and whatever else you want, doll.” He smirked at you before grabbing the glass cup and downing it. You didn’t miss the suggestive tone as he finished listing the perks of joining them.

You cleared your throat trying not to think about what it would be like underneath Dwayne. “Uh, and what do I have to do?”

“It’s easy really, do some maintenance on our bikes, come on missions with us and most importantly…” he trailed off and held eye contact. “Give us your complete loyalty.” You looked back at David, his gaze staring straight into you.

Without thinking you immediately answered. “I’m in.” The corners of David’s lips quirked up while Paul and Marko cheered.

You grabbed the drink that Marko placed by you and downed it in one gulp, you were spurred on by the energy in the room. You received firm slaps on your back from the boys.

“C’mon boys, let’s go celebrate.” David caught you and the boys’ attention before they broke out in cheers once more. Paul wrapped an arm around you as you all piled into the elevator. “Welcome to your new life, mamas.” Paul said directly in your ear.

It was the last thing you remember before the rest of the night became hazy.

I really love your art! your style is so pretty, it's like eye candy fr. you're such a skilled artist! also, I wanted to mention that I saw a couple of your thoughts posts and I wanted to suggest possibly investing into a journal to write them down into instead—I've found it helps to get the negative thoughts out, and then you're not broadcasting them to random strangers on the internet. not trying to throw shade, just genuinely concerned for your mental health. I really do enjoy your mha and genshin art, and it makes me happy when you post it! I love how you added both kaeya and klee in your recent contribution to the barbie meme lol. I hope you're having a good day, and if not, I hope things start looking up real soon! stay safe, and don't be too hard on yourself, alright? you're an awesome person 🩷 this is your sign to keep going

Hello!! Thank you so much for the kind words, I’m happy you like my art :))

Regarding the comment abt my thoughts posts – aw thanks for your concern! But first off, it’s actually been a while since I posted those (I checked and I think it was more than a year back? same w my mha art tbh– either you’ve been following for a while or you must’ve scrolled a lot LOL either way I’m impressed.) and I did delete a bunch of older emo posts and shifted some stuff to a more private blog, cos I realised it wasn’t too healthy to post everything online.

And I do have a journal!! It helps me a lot to get my thoughts out of my head and reason through emotional issues. I highly recommend keeping a journal too (even though I haven’t updated mine in a few days lol).

As for why I have the tendency to post more personal thoughts online… sometimes I want to share about smth ppl might find relevant, and sometimes I simply want the space to quickly vent about things that I can’t share with people in real life (for whatever reason). And I only do it cos I know I’m a small account (half my followers are bots) and it doesn’t really “endanger” my reputation and all that.

It’s a bit like shouting off a mountain or into a void, except sometimes the void speaks back and is kinda somewhat decent to you.

And occasionally people have replied!! (not on Tumblr tho lol) to share help/advice/support, which has been really nice.

But yes, I’m aware venting on the internet is probably not the healthiest and can be potentially dangerous as well. Also maybe it’s a bit of a turnoff if an artist you like keeps complaining about how miserable they are lol.

Don’t worry I’ll be sure to keep to myself more since my account is growing a bit, and draw a line between how much and what I share on the internet. I’m aware of Internet safety!!

…but just wanna say I’m probably not gonna stop random posting about unimportant things in life like how horrible my sweaty palms are lol they’re the literal worst FRRRR 😭😭
