#CYBERPUNK 2077 AND SMILING FRIENDS HELP

[reirei-123]

Johnny Silverhand x Reader

Summary: Johnny Silverhand has a change of heart. Takes place after the events of Cyberpunk 2077, Johnny has his own body.

Johnny had always thought of V as his only real friend, and he was glad that he had a real body now. He has something to tell them. But damn were you always busy. He called you, but you weren’t even picking up the phone. So much for this friendship.

A few days passed.

“Johnny… I’m so sorry, had too much people talking to me..”

“Never thought you would be the type to be so busy, V.”

“Ever since we stormed Arasaka, things have definitely changed.. it’s weird though, why haven’t you brought back your band?”

“Not my thing anymore, V.”

“How about you come to my house? Lets chat.”

“Will be there in a few.”

Johnny arrives at V’s home. Damn, it was quite the upgrade from her old crappy apartment. He was living with her, hell even stuck inside her brain for gods sake, so why the hell was he getting nervous?

“So… V, how have you been doing?”

“It’s definitely a change, dealing with all these clients, but then again, I have the freedom to do whatever I want, so its not all bad, better than working for other people, I suppose.” V was absolutely joyous to see Johnny again, smiling at him pleasantly.

“I missed you.”

“I.. missed you too Johnny.”

Damn it V… if you know what you did to me.. why the hell do I feel this way? Don’t want to ruin what we have… don’t want to make a mess out of another friend I have again like I’ve done to everyone in the past. But.. think I’ve changed.

Little did he know, V felt the exact way.

Johnny holds her hand softly and looks up at her.

“V.. I know I wasn’t the best person in the past, but being with you has helped me become a better person. And I think I can say that I’m so in love with you. I love everything about you and I would do just about anything for you. I.. can’t imagine a future without you and the thought of that scares me. Loving you is one of the most effortless things I’ve ever done.”

“Johnny… I feel the same..”

Johnny reaches out to you, pulling you close into a hug. He rests his cheek on your head, taking a deep, calming breath. His hands rub your arms, caressing your skin gently.

“Can’t get rid of me now, you’ve gotta let me take you out on a date first, right? I wanna go all out on this. Make it a night you’ll never forget. How does that sound?”

“Sounds good.”

Hey! Would you be able to do a SGW Alphabet for Sandayu Oda from Cyberpunk? Either him or Goro Takemura. Thank you!

no worries !! I've never wrote for either of these characters so please do excuse any inaccuracies. thank you so much for another request :)

GORO TAKEMURA || SFW Alphabet

CYBERPUNK 2077 || 1.4k Words

A: Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Takemura spent the majority of his life displaying honour and loyalty, proving the willingness to protect his employer in order to move up the Arasaka ranks.

So he's not really one for billboards with your faces on, he is much more comfortable providing quiet and subtle acts of his loyalty, making sure you're safe, relaxed and feeling okay. Offering you tea or some breakfast the moment you're up. Making sure you are equipped with everything you need for the day ahead.first to make you smile every morning and every night before you rest.

Whereas when it comes to the man himself, he values intimacy, being transparent with one another, savouring those moments where it feels like the two of you are the lone couple on earth.

B: Best Friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

You could trust him with your life, your deepest secrets, and he'd always offer a pragmatic, if sometimes blunt, perspective on your problems.

Though he's not your average Panam or Kerry, he's your rock? Always there and unchanging. He's not exactly one for spontaneous adventures or risky outings, but he would be willing to help you plan the takedown for a multi-billion ED corporation and then be there for you when you mess it up.

C: Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

He might not initiate them often, but when he does, it would be a gesture of trust and a way to offer comfort and closeness. Think less of playful snuggles and more of a serious, almost protective embrace.

D: Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Of course he can cook, it's rare your see him eating fast food, and when he does, he's it's harshest critique. He enjoys cooking, it something he can bend the rules a little with, try new things and spice it up.

The cleaning too, he weirdly enough enjoys ironing and tidying. He never lets it get to certain level of messy, tidying is simply just a part of his routine.

E: Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

No lengthy explanations, no crying, no emotional outbursts. There'd be an unsettling amount of formality like he's in some sort of business transaction.

F: Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

He hasn't really thought about it, plus he couldn't really care less about it. He doesn't understand why so many people see it as one of the most important stepping-stones in life.

"Foolish Western sentimentality." He preaches.

G: Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Again, he's not the cutesy kind of gentle, it's hard enough to imagine holding eye contact him for over 4 seconds never mind imagining him cuddling up to somebody.

HIs touch is never harsh, never around you.

H: Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are they like.)

A lot like cuddles, he doesn't really initiate them but never rejects them. He prefers to be hugged straight-forwardly, after a long day.

I: I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

He's a man of few words, so don't expect a lot.

It's hesitant yet delivered with an intensity and sincerity he applies to everything. It's more of a declaration of loyalty and commitment, a promise to protect and cherish, rather than a romantic outpouring.

J: Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they get jealous?)

He's neither jealous nor insecure, once you both promise to commit to one another, he completely trusts your words and expects you to do the same.

K: Kisses (What are their kisses like?)

They wouldn't be sloppy or overly passionate, but rather a careful, deep expression of his feelings once he commits to them.

L: Little ones (How are they around children?)

Uncomfortable and unsure on how to act around them. He's aware that he's not the most approachable and he does honestly try his hardest to not seem it

M: Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

He's always up before you, there's never been a moment where you've woke up and he's still out like a log.

He's swift to offer you a drink, food, a bath running, Goro has it all prepped.

N: Night (How are nights with them?)

Unless he's out on a mission, he usually in bed pretty early and sticts so a routine. He's willing to watch a TV show of our choice until you fall asleep, if he's not staying.

He cooks, every single night. He always cooks something different each night, and never fails to impress you.

O: Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they spill everything all at once or slowly reveal things with time?)

It's gonna take a while, a long long while.

It starts with small stories from his childhood, harmless. It's rare he exposes his feelings, so you've got to assure that you're going to stick around.

P: Patience (How easily angered are they?)

He's as cool as ice. His patience never runs thin, sure he can act 'impulsively', but these 'impulses' have really been very delicately thought through.

Q: Quizzes (How much would they remember about you?) Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Everything. No doubt.

He'll always find a way to weave it into conversations and dates, even small things like how you dislike a certain shade of blue.

R: Remember (What is their favourite moment in your relationship?)

To put it into simple words: He's the type of guy to scroll past a star sign reading on social media, but scroll back up to check your moon, sun and rising for when mercury is in retrograde.

S: Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Like Meredith - You're safe, no need for explanation.

T: Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

He doesn't tend to struggle when it comes to planning events, he's quite naturally thoughtful and transparent.

Throughout his day he'll notice things and often think of you, these things he doesn't fail to forget.

U: Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

When it comes to comforting you, he gets awkward and hesitant. Even after years of being together he'll still stutter and slighty panic when you show a large wave of emotion.

V: Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Not at all, as long as his clothes are clean, ironed and fresh. His body is washed and able, he's not bothered.

W: Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Takemura dedicated his entire life to his line of work before meeting you, it was his objective that he was dead set on. Whether he has you or not, this man will always find something or someone to dedicate his life to. It really means something if you or one of those people.

X: Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

I'm not so familiar with Takemura, so please do forgive me if any of these are a bit out of place:

He holds no mercy during board games, you best bet you will be paying rent EVERY single time you land on his monopoly property.

He listens to Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and is quite keen on Franz Ferdinand.

He lets you cut and style his hair whenever it's due.

As much as he'd deny it, he's a sucker for a chick flick. You watched Mean Girls one night because you thought he'd fallen asleep, you're about an hour in and turn you head, his eyes are widened and immersed.

Since then, he'd suggest watching 10 Things I Hate About You, She's the Man, 13 Going on 30, purely for YOUR entertainment... not his. Not one bit.

Y: Yuck (What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)

Mess, especially if he's just cleaned up that particular area. He appreciates a partner that shares his value of clenaing up after yourself.

Z: Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)

Not sleeping.

ROUND 1 MATCH 10

Edelgard propaganda:

“to summarize, she started a war but she was right. maybe her means weren't the best, but I'll always support my wife to tear down the church and end fodlan's reliance and discrimination on Crests”

Judy propaganda:

“Judy, my darlings, is gorgeous, brilliant, passionate, and loyal to her friends. She cares about sex workers and will do her damnedest to protect them from being exploited when the opportunity arises. Too bad, boys, but she's only there for us girls, and I'm so so happy she is because she's just my type, too ;) She has the kind of voice that makes you want to call her before a dangerous mission just to hear it, to reassure you that all will be well because she's waiting for you to come home. She dreams of a better life and will follow you out of this corporate hellhole of a city, and seeing her smile is worth every bit of pain you've gone through together. She'll take you diving, help you look in people's heads, and is just the best thing about Night city.”

PART II

This is the chapter II of the series I'm doing, hope you enjoy it!!!

Ren's path

Ren's alarm clock jolts her from her slumber at the crack of dawn. 

"Good morning, Heywood," Ren murmurs silently as the city that never sleeps greets her with its endless car honks and the constant waft of filth that haunts the city. Ren had a childhood marked by tragedy on the streets of Night City. When she was just a child, a ruthless cyberphycho killed her parents in a senseless act of violence. This tragic event left Ren orphaned and traumatized, struggling to survive in the shadows of an unforgiving city. 

After the tragedy, Ren was taken in by the Heywood district, which became a kind of maternal figure to her. The people of the district rallied to care for the orphaned girl, providing her with support and protection in the midst of Night City's cruelty. Although the city could be a dangerous place, Heywood offered her a refuge and the opportunity to grow up in a safer environment. 

Throughout her childhood, Ren developed a strong will and unwavering determination to face the challenges presented by the city. The loss of her parents and her experiences on the streets shaped her character and drove her to become the brave and determined bounty hunter she is today.

 As always, her routine begins with a rigorous morning workout. Hand-to hand combat and target practice keep her peak in condition. After a refreshing shower, Ren dons her hunting suit and prepares to head out into the streets of the Night City. 

As she rushes down the apartment building's stairs, she decides to make a quick stop at the neighborhood cafe, where she often runs with her friend Max. Max, a skilled hacker, has been her friend for years, and although Ren is unaware, he secretly harbors deeper feelings for her. 

Ren enters the cafe and finds Max at his usual table, surrounded by electronic devices and cables. He looks up and smiles when he sees her walk by in. "Does Nigh City's bravest bounty hunter need her morning caffeine fix?" Max quips as he gestures to an empty chair across from him. 

"Wel, you know I can't start the day with a decent cup of coffee," Ren replies with a smile. As they enjoy their drinks, they discuss her upcoming mission, and Max offers some technological advice that might come in handy. As they chat, Max can't help but feel a mix of admiration and unrequited love for Ren, emotions he carefully keeps hidden. Knowing the past of Ren. 

After bidding Max goodbye, Ren readies herself to face the day's challenges and head to the underground bar where her next bounty awaits. The city never stops, and Ren knows it better than anyone. 

The underground bar, known as "The Neon Shadow", is a clandestine meeting place where hackers and criminals rub shoulders in search of valuable information and secret deals. Ren meticulously prepares for the mission. 

Before entering the bar, Ren syncs up with Max. 

"Are you there already?" 

"Yes, Max, I'm starting to smell the stink of poorly places chrome in these sons of bitches'flesh," Ren's murmurs as she scans the crowd in the underground bar, her cybernetic eye discreetly analyzing people for clues. 

"Be careful this time. I don't want to pick you up again by your pretty hair to take you to see Viktor," Max responds, concerned in his voice. 

"I don't think Viktor has had time for me lately. He's too busy with another patient," Ren sighs. "I should go check on them. Misty must be devastated by the loss of Jackie. I didn't know him well, but I know he was one of the best Valentinos. Have you heard the news about what happened? I don't know how they got themselves into that mess."

"And I hope you never find out or you'll end up like them," Max warns. "I don't know how his chum survived. People say he's turned into a cyberphycho"

"Well, I'm going in," Ren concludes as she is prepared to confront Arachnid and the uncertainty that looms over the mission. 

As she scans her surroundings, Ren notices an individual who seams unusually nervous and avoids eye contact. This could be Arachnid. She discreetly scans him and confirms his identity. 

"Max? Confirmation?" Ren asks happily knowing this man was scared to death. 

"Bingo" 

"Why is it that the ones with the toughest nickname turn out to be the most terrified, Max?" Ren whispers through the holographic device. 

"I don't know, all I know is that lately, you've been way too lucky. I swear, I sense something bad, like in those old space war movies."

"Max, it's Star Wars please! A little more retro culture. And yes, I also have a feeling that something bad is looming over us, chum, karma can't be that good to us, or that's what Misty says. But as long as we enjoy this mediocre place and make some eddies."

As Ren and Max exchange these words, Ren can't shake the feeling of impending danger. The dimly lit bar, filled with shady characters and the buzz of clandestine deals, only adds to the tension in the air. Ren takes another sip of her drink, her eyes constantly scanning the room, alert for any sign of trouble. 

Meanwhile, Max, back at their safe virtual hideout, keeps an eye on the bar through the security cameras, ready to assist Ren if things take a turn of the worse. He knows that Ren's instinct is usually spot on, and he's prepared to act swiftly to help her in any way he can. 

Max is a tall, lean man in his late 20s with a hacker's signature edgy style. He has shaggy dark hair that falls messily over his forehead, partially obscuring his sharp, intelligent eyes. His pale complexion is a testament to countless hours he spends in front of computer screens. Max often sports a black leather jacket adorned with various cyberpunk-inspired patches and a t-shirt featuring obscure references to old-school pop culture. 

A pair of stylish augmented sunglasses, which he often pushes back onto his forehead, adds to his mysterious and slightly rebellious appearance. Max's fingers are agile and nimble, well-suited for intricate keyboard work. He's always seen with a holographic device, constantly fiddling with it to access information, communicate with Ren, or hack into systems. 

Max's personality is a blend of tech-savvy brilliance and a quirky sense of humor. He's fiercely loyal to Ren and would go to great lengths to protect her.  Despite the dangers of Night City, Max maintains a cool and composed demeanor, but there's a deep sense of concern for Ren beneath the surface.

Ren positions herself next to the bar in the filthy and repugnant bar to speak quietly, without drawing attention with Arachnid. A few words could be enough to apprehend him without any problems, as he was alone according to Max's observations on the security cameras.

"Arachnid, do you think you can escape this? You're surrounded, and there's no way out."

"Oh, Ren, you've always been the tireless hunter, haven't you?"

"Oh, what a surprise, how do you even know my precious name?" 

"Of course I know it, how can't I know one of the legends of Hellwood? Ren the bounty hunter, even though that's not your real name..."

"For you and all this scumbag yes, It's Ren, nothing more and nothing less, just Ren. And now with the deal..."

"Let me tell you, you don't know who you're dealing with. I have influential friends in dark places."

"Your threats don't impress me, Arachnid. You've committed crimes, and you'll pay for them. There's no escape."

"You know something, Ren? You might be right, that there's no escape. But that doesn't mean I'm the only one with secrets to hide."

 "Speak, Arachnid. You don't have much time."

"Maybe you're right, maybe not. But there's something you should know before I hand you over. Night City is about to change forever, and not in the way you imagine."

"What are you insinuating, Arachnid? Speak plainly."

"You'll find out soon. I can't reveal more. But keep in mind that nothing is as it seems in this city."

Suddenly, a police patrol surrounds the place, and all the scum in the bar flee for their lives. Of course, everyone had a record, not even the bartender was clean. In cases like this, the NCPD doesn't get involved; they know how dangerous these people can be, especially cyberpsychos, and it wasn't a good night to call Max Tag, they were a pain in the ass, even for the NCPD.

"This is the end of the road, but I might come to visit you in prison and maybe bring you some flowers,"

Arachnid, though with a defiant expression, knows he's cornered. The police surround Arachnid, handcuff him, and proceed to take him into custody.

"Thank you, Ren, you should work with us more. You're really good at this, chum," says Watson, Ren's partner who gives her the toughest cases of the police.

"You're welcome, chum, but you know I don't get along with the NCPD. Too much corruption, even more than in this dive of a place."

"Not all of us are like that, Ren, you know it."

"I only do it for the eddies, Watson, and because I don't let down my lifelong chums."

"Goodbye, Ren, and thanks again. They'll transfer everything to you tomorrow without fail."

Ren nods and watches as Arachnid is escorted out of the bar. As they take him away, Arachnid glares at Ren with resentment and unfulfilled promises.

Ren observes the scene with determination, knowing she has fulfilled her duty. As the police move away with Arachnid, Max approaches Ren.

"As always, a job well done, chum."

"Yes, Max, but I can't help but think about what Arachnid  mentioned earlier. Night City is on the brink of change, and we don't know in which direction."

After the mission, Ren and Max find themselves outside the underground bar, where the night in Night City is still alive. Max looks at Ren with concern in his digital eyes.

"Ren, would you like to grab a drink? We could celebrate another job well done."

"Not today, Max. Today is the day when everything happened." sights deeply

Max nods, understanding the reference to the tragic loss of her husband.

"I understand, Ren. If you need anything, I'm here."

Ren bids farewell to Max and walks away from the bar, lost in her thoughts. As she strolls through the illuminated streets of Night City, she takes a small photo of her husband from her pocket. She gazes at the image with nostalgia and affection, reminiscing about the happy times they shared.

late night writing ideas bc I can’t sleep :D

tw : violence, blood, death, killing, broken glass is used as a weapon one time

concept belongs to me, decembermoonskz (2023) all rights reserved do not repost, copy, translate, or take reference from this.

chan is a bounty hunter that’s a part of a underground guild of sorts. he’s one of the best and so of course he’s one of those super expensive “high-end” type assassins. you know he’ll get the job done and leave without a trace of anyone knowing it was him.

his hair is half black and half white, his eyes are a piercing teal and he always wears his mask on the job—the white cheek-splitting smile on the mask being the last thing his victims see before they die.

this universe is like kinda futuristic, kinda cyberpunk 2077 vibes for the world setting but idk the game and its world in-depth so it’s just like that overall vibe. and chan has like a microchip that all other bounty hunters get and that lets him like see things through a lens sometimes and have like access to like heat vision and night vision without the goggles and stuff. also he communicates with felix who’s like a hacker slash intel dude.

in a specific mission he encounters mc (kinda going with a fem-presenting mc in this case rn but I’m still using they/them). so mc is the child of a mafia head, they hate their father and their family has been nothing but strict with them, and they wanna like marry mc off to another mafia family or some shit.

anyway so chan’s target is the father not mc, but during the job it gets a little messier than normal and his mask gets pulled off by a mafia goon who nearly strangled him but surprisingly mc helps by stabbing the goon in the shoulder with like a broken glass shard and that helps chan fend the goon off and kill him.

but here’s the thing, uh oh, mc has seen chan’s face, his whole face. which, there’s not like any law or like punishment for, but it’s a part of chan’s code personally to not let anyone see his face when he’s on the job. he only lets his mask down around his friends and/or when he’s alone.

they both just kinda stare at each other, it’s as if this whole thing hasn’t happened and it’s just the two of them. no bloody corpses, no sounds of people yelling, no banging on the door to try and break through to see what’s happened. they just stare, it feels longer than the probably five seconds that it actually was. but chan knows better and he knows he should kill mc, he can’t have any witnesses to what he’d just done, and yet, he can’t bring himself to do it.

for the first time in his life, he hesitates to go in for the kill.

so instead he runs to the window he broke into and jumps out of it, mc runs to the window but he’s already disappeared, they wanted to thank him which sounds odd, but they really hated their father and hated how they were treated in this family but they couldn’t see a way out. now though, he’d just inadvertently given them one.

now all mc can think about is the black and white assassin with eyes as piercing as a wolf’s but also the softest shade of sea glass they’d ever seen.

Secure Your Soul: A Cyberpunk 2077 Fanfiction

This fic was previously published under the title "Before the Event Horizon."

Summary: Six months ago, V's boss at Arasaka ordered her to assassinate his rival. Instead, with the reluctant but invaluable help of her old friend Jackie Welles, she pushed them both off their thrones and claimed one for herself. Now the new Director of Arasaka Counter Intel has a problem. She's uncovered information that indicates that Yorinobu Arasaka, the heir apparent to the Arasaka dynasty, is a traitor. But without solid proof, she's forced to take matters into her own hands. An AU in which Corpo!V never leaves Arasaka.

CHAPTER ONE: BALLAD OF A POLITICIAN

[read on ao3]

V’s eyes were glued to her leftmost monitor, incessantly rereading the international regulations on lunar base licenses. Her right monitor displayed the bios of every member of the European Space Council; her center refreshed every two minutes with the latest reports from Frankfurt. Assuming the lead she needed existed, it was buried in one of these places. A regulatory loophole, a bribe or blackmail opportunity of a key council member—if there was some potential solution, she would find it.  

Without thinking, she opened her drawer and inhaled a cognitive booster. An hour had passed since her meeting time with Jenkins; she wouldn’t be able to put it off much longer. But if she couldn’t present an alternative idea to save the lunar base licenses, she knew he’d go through with his deep clean of the entire Space Council. V was unlikely to shed any tears over a bunch of useless bureaucrats, but Jenkins’ plan was a stopgap at best. They’d gain about a week, and lose more eddies in the cover up than that week was worth.

V used to admire Jenkins’ ruthless efficiency, but ever since Abernathy had fucked him over, he’d gotten careless. A stupid emotional reaction.

V’s fingers hovered over the keyboard, willing herself to come up with some new angle to try, when her stomach gave a sudden lurch. She brought up her biometrics panel on her optics display. Heart rate: elevated. Cortisol level: elevated. Daily intake report: 865 calories below optimal. It occurred to her that she hadn’t eaten since breakfast, and she’d just taken… she counted the empty containers…  four cognitive boosters in the last hour? When had that happened?

She didn’t have time to consider it any further because another lurch forced her to run to the bathroom and vomit all over the fancy black marble sink.

—

She received a call just as she was ridding herself of the last bits of her breakfast. She hadn't intended to answer it right then, but the rocking motion she made as she was throwing up caused her optics to register her eye motions as an Accept Call signal. Which meant one of her confidential informants got an earful of vomit noises.

"V," said Jackie Welles. "Are you all right?"

"Fine," V gasped. "Just needed a breather."

"Sounded like you just blew your guts airlock."

V wiped the leftover vomit off her mouth and frowned at her reflection. "Yeah," she admitted. "I barfed."

"Job's gonna kill you.” The translator in her brain had shifted the conversation to English, but it alerted her that Jackie was using Spanish. She'd have guessed so anyway. He tended to do so when he wanted to make a point. A fairly ironic point coming from a street merc.

"Yeah," V said. "Maybe I should've gotten a safe one. Like you did."

"Hey, at least I always know who's shooting at me. Sometimes even why."

V was about to respond, when one of her coworkers walked into the bathroom. She didn't recognize him, but that was no surprise considering the size of Arasaka's employee count. When he noticed her situation, he paused at the door and stared as if unsure whether he still wanted to come in.

V felt the urge to yell at him, but that was absurd. Defensiveness in a moment like this would only make her come off as even weaker. She forced herself to smile in an imitation of graceful humility.

"Sorry about the mess," she told him. "By the way, if you go to the café on level B2, don't order the burrito."

The man nodded politely before walking into a stall.

"Bad burrito, huh?" Jackie continued.

"Look, Jack, is there a particular reason you called me?"

“Damn, V. Just checking in on you. No need to get all annoyed about it.”

“I’m sorry. Just caught me at a bad time, that’s all.” V exhaled, her muscle memory leading her through the neuromotor relaxation exercises she'd learned from her life coach at Quantified Satori. “We had a leak. My boss called. Dragged me in because we had to intervene. Everyone at Night City HQ is on edge.”

“But no way you’re fucked, right? You’re the one who fixes other people’s shit.”

V nearly laughed. “If you work in Arasaka Counter Intel, you’re always fucked.”

She checked the clock on her optics. The Council would convene for the vote within the next fifteen minutes. Her time was up. “Listen, gotta go. Work won’t do itself.”

“Good luck,” he said in Spanish again, then hung up.

V took a second for one last round of the exercises, then headed out.

—

She pretended to ignore the fact that everyone in the hallways was talking about Frankfurt, but, in reality, she listened eagerly. It was as good an opportunity as any to keep her finger on the pulse of NCHQ's emerging consensus on the issue. Most of what she heard was speculation and complaints, but even those details had value. Most importantly, the general chatter confirmed that Jenkins’ reputation had tanked as much in everyone else’s eyes lately as it had in her own. Not for the first time in the last few days, she wished she’d attached her name to someone else, and she nearly cringed when she overheard someone refer to her as “Jenkins’ girl”.  

About halfway to Jenkins’ office, a voice called out to her, “Hey, V. It’s been ages. It’s me, Frank. We met during Icefall. East coast, remember?”

He did look familiar. He’d grown a beard since she last saw him, and he’d installed some new cyberware, but you don’t easily forget an agent you used to do fieldwork with. Despite her tight schedule, V slowed down. Frank Nostra was Spec Ops, and there’d never been a better time to expand her circle of alliances.

“I didn’t know you were in Night City,” she said with a slight lilt. “How’ve you been?”

“Ah, you know how it is,” he continued texting as he spoke to her, but V knew better than to take that as a slight. More likely he was too busy to slow down. “A week ago I was still in Cape Town. I heard you’re in Counter Intel. Must have a shitshow on your hands right now after Frankfurt. Jenkins is your lead, right? Is he what everyone says he is?”

V decided to play it coy. “What does everyone say about Jenkins?”

“That he’s effective. Like any psychopath. Apparently, he’s gotten a little crazier lately.”

“Well,” V said. “He’s in an unfortunate position. He thought the director was planning to greenlight his promotion when the Japanese arrived, but she decided against it. I suppose he interpreted that as a betrayal. Even the best of us have been known to crack under that kind of pressure.”

Nostra stopped texting just long enough for her to tell that her insubordination had been noted. “I work for Director Abernathy, actually,” he said. “She’s really good. Came up with the whole Cape Town ploy on her own.”

“She is,” V agreed. “I’ve always thought she was an intelligent woman. You’re lucky to work under her.”

Nostra put his phone away for the moment. “You know, V, Spec Ops is always looking for new operatives. With our history, I could put in a good word for you, let Abernathy know if you’re open to a change in position.”

V smiled. “I’d appreciate that, Frank. I think it’s a good time to explore some new career opportunities.”  

“Ah, you do, don’t you?”  Nostra asked, his eyes narrowing. “Of course, Abernathy’s looking for the right candidate. Someone who knows how to appreciate being pulled screaming out of a raging dumpster fire.”

In a way, she envied him that lack of subtlety. He could only afford it because of his advantageous position over her. Still, even with a rotten hand, V always found this game exciting. “Of course. I think you’ll find working under Jenkins for two years has given me a lot of insight into his worldview. I’d happily share that with Abernathy.”

Nostra was already back on his phone. “Well, then I think we have an agreement. Nice seeing you, V.”

“Nice seeing you too, Frank.”

V walked away, now running later than she could excuse even in the most severe circumstances. Well, pretty soon it wouldn’t matter anymore. It’d be good to be back in the field again. The boardroom intrigue had its own appeal, but she’d been sitting in a desk chair so long that she felt eager at the thought of physical action.  

She passed through the security scanners in front of Jenkins’ door, and stepped into his office.

tldr: this is my main blog. it's mostly for the characters taking up space in my head where my brain's supposed to be.

(also it's probably.. not great on desktop, idk, i'm a mobile user)

💕💓💞✨ლ⁠(⁠・⁠﹏⁠・⁠ლ⁠)

my fanart stuff is @space-enbies-inc // when i rb posts i tag the media and characters involved. i don't trigger tag anything at the moment, but feel free to ask if you want something tagged. content warning and etc under the cut

updated january '25

content warning: nothing extreme enough to piss off tumblr, but there is very suggestive art at times and general "horny about that old man" vibes. occasional eyestrainy art as well

slurs (usually about lgbt+ people), discussions or depictions of homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, ableism, racism, classism, sexism, and probably some other bigotries tbh.

canon typical content (like gore, death, incest jokes because rnm cannot help themselves). loads loads loads of mental health related things, suicide, self harm, smoking/drinking/drug use and addiction, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, ocd, adhd, autism, overstimulation, meltdowns, dissociation, gender dysphoria, and maybe some other stuff that's not coming to mind? idk for sure.

basically if something happens in the shows/games/whatever i'm into, it can show up on this blog.

i do not ship rick and morty together but a lot of ship art kinda flies under the radar and looks innocent so it's possible that ive reblogged r1ck0rty before without realizing. lmk if you notice a post like that on here?

i do ship jerrick and rickcest and like to reblog that kind of stuff. i don't consider those ships to be incestuous but i know that some people do so i figured id give you a heads up.

Yesterday I did the"suicide ending"in Cyberpunk 2077 and I'm going to talk about how it LITERALLY DESTROYED MY SOUL AND MADE ME CRY FOR 20 MINUTES STRAIGHT.

It's such a heartbreaking ending, everything about it hurts so much: the little dialogue between V and Johnny as they talk as they have been friends for a lifetime, the messages the other characters send you at the end, who can't belive what happened, who is angry, who is just desperate and misses V, and the fact that we get to see our V and Johnny from an external point of view, we see their expressions, they way they look at eachother when they say their last goodbye and it just--

What hurt the most was that Johnny didn't oppose to V's decision. I feel like he thought about the useless risk that they were running into if they tried to enter the Mikoshi and understoond that it wasn't worth it. They weren't sure if it would have helped them, if they would have made it out alive somehow, so Johnny preferred to die with V, by V's choice.

Not to talk about how their voices sound, their tone is almost affectionate, as if they are going to face their death with a smile because they have eachother, because they have been friends no matter the absurd situation they were in.

It literally killed me so I AM GOING TO DO ANOTHER ENDING BECAUSE I REFUSE TO LET THEM DIE LIKE THIS

[fereldanwench]

🩺, 💴, 👁️

Oohhhh, well, this is a fun set. (I hate that I don't have :bongocat: emoji on Tumblr, but pretend like there's :bongocat: here.)

🩺- Viktor Vektor

I have unfortunately completely dropped the ball on keeping up with this little story (although I have like 80% of the next chapter finished, I just need to remember how to make the words go), but Valerie and Vik actually sort of dated in the months before the heist. So a core memory? How about a snippet of the very rough draft for the fight that ends it. Context: Valerie was dealing with the anniversary of mom's death, which is a Complicated™ thing even 14 years after it happened, and Viktor just does not know how to handle things he can't immediately fix himself. (Also, he has intimacy issues and if Valerie isn't getting emotional support, she needs to at least be getting off. Particularly at this point in her life. (Sorry, Vik, lmao.))

“I’m just not good at the feelings stuff.” He forced a conciliatory smile. “That’s more Misty’s department.” “Maybe I should go date her instead.” Valerie dropped her arms. “You know if you just wanted a fuck buddy, you could have said so instead of pretending like you actually give a shit.” “Now wait a damn minute. I haven’t even tried to get you into bed.” “Right, fair point, actually. I’m practically throwing myself at you and you say just want to take it slow? So no sex, but I also can’t talk to you when I’m having a shit day–What are we even doing?” “Getting to know each other?” Valerie scoffed. “You won’t open up about anything other than boxing and beer, and when I try to let you in, I get stonewalled with ‘I’m not good with feelings.’ How exactly are we getting to know each other?” Her brow softened, and she looked at him with something worse than anger: pity.  “Maybe this was a mistake,” she said quietly. Viktor felt his heart sink into his stomach.  “You know, Jackie said this was your thing. You just bolt as soon as you realize someone isn't as perfect as you think you are.” Viktor had never seen her go so cold before. He closed his eyes. Fuck. “Nice. That’s very nice.” She grabbed her jacket and walked in slow, measured steps to the door. “Guess you should have listened to him then.”  “Valerie, wait, it’s one in the morning. Don’t leave like this.” “Good night, Viktor.”

💴- Hanako Arasaka

It's kind of a cop-out answer because DUH but also I just haven't really explored much of Valerie's relationship to the Arasaka family because I am very intimidated by getting their characterization right: but I mean, helping Goro essentially abduct her and then sitting across from Hanako fucking Arasaka in that derelict apartment for 5 minutes before a bunch of 'Saka elites charge in is gonna stay with Valerie for a loooong time.

👁️ - Sandayu Oda

Kicking that man's ass all over that Japantown warehouse thingy during the parade. Sorry, Sandayu. SORRY, GORO. I'M KIDDING. WE'RE ALL FRIENDS HERE jfc

Similarly to Hanako, I've yet to actually really flesh out the details for the kind of relationship Valerie has with Oda so the canon events are what stick out to me the most. And I think those memories tend to actually revolve more around Goro than Oda, like remembering how Goro made it a point to stand between Oda and Valerie when they first met and how he begged for her to not kill Oda.

But I think they become friends eventually, and to that end, Oda showing his support to both Goro and Valerie when they go to find Yorinobu probably plants the seed for that friendship to start growing.

Welcome to FourtyMART, your one-stop-shop for some real goofy bastards, at equally goofy bargains!

FourtyMart - Independent Multimuse RP Blog by @transitpresident - Multifandom - Semi-Selective - Lit to Semi Lit - 18+ Admin

Rules, extra info, and characters below the cut.

FourtyMart is a warehouse home to a handful of colorful characters that you- yes, you!- can potentially interact with! Here's a few! (Images still in transit from our distro center...) CHSR GT#40 - he/him/his Ground Telecom Unit #40 - Channel Fourty Showrunner The face and main physical workhorse of Channel Fourty, CHSR does his job with style, quality, and a smile on his face. As an android built for the purposes of television journalism, he’s perfectly engineered with all aspects of that task in mind, especially his “top-of-the-line” social skills, which grant him a friendly disposition, a curious nature, and a kind desire to help others, especially if all strangers are just future friends. This loyal hard worker sticks to his allegiances and his work, always toting around his equipment should a prime opportunity to create content arise. Despite his high-tech nature, he still does have a lot to learn about others, the world around him, and himself, all of which he’ll discover through the viewfinder of his cameras and the lenses in his eyes. Tanfour - he/him (she/her determinant) Kevin Fouris-Tan - Fouris Variant #35 - early 20s A mall-based wasteland fixer from the SF Bay Peninsula with the tenacity, spite, and gay audacity to do whatever he can set his mind to, for better or for worse. With a well-stocked collection of questionably-acquired goods, he distributes, trades, and otherwise sells weapons, vehicles, garbage, knickknacks, and information. He claims to be able to sell anything- which may or may not be true, and whether or not you'd actually like to buy what he's got will depend. Other than be the guy offering you a steal for a crate of corned beef, he’s known to be resourceful and he’s got a knack for making things work- old cars, computer rigs, fashion statements, blatant lies- even if they do end up being held together by twine and duct tape. While he’s decent enough to tolerate in passing, it’s only up to you if you’re willing to stick around for his smug and mildly sleazy attitude, bad and snappy comebacks, ill timed pop culture references, and blunt personal statements. (Note: Tanfour's got a handful of AU variants, including but not limited to the realms of Valorant, TF2, Overwatch, and Cyberpunk 2077. See below for more fandom info.) Mols - she/her/hers 2017 Tesla Model S P100D From a far-future world where cars have outlived humans and have taken on humanoid-android forms, Mols is a laid-back, clever Tesla with a love for lazing about and enjoying the simple things in life. Despite her usually calm nature, she is prone to sparks of excitement- and she's quick in more ways than one. Quick to call things out as they are and even faster to run away from trouble thanks to her swift acceleration speeds, she's the queen of "if it sucks, hit the bricks'. President Tanner - he/him (she/her determinate) Jason Carson Tanner - Tanner-Markov Variant #14 - late 30s The 'eternal president' of a small, heavily militarized but extremely glamour-coated nation-state, President Tanner is a mostly-benevolent leader of his tech-forward and economically successful light-cyberpunk country. Though polite, he's known publicly for having a bit of a fun side, as he very much indulges in his assorted vices and is known for being more approachable than most world leaders- but under his layers, there is no doubt an ability for cruelty and a swath of dark secrets. His words are weaselly, sweet, and long, but all to hide the true meanings of what he has to say.

For now, this is our current selection- but as we stay open, new arrivals will be available in-store! Before grabbing your cart, your membership card, and gearing up for free samples and bargain hot dogs, please go over the rules of our establishment!

Rules

- Please don't hassle me for any responses. Turnaround time will vary due to my fluctuating life.

- I aim for literate and semi-literate responses and prefer not to do one-liners. Length will sometimes matter depending on what you give me, so I'll either match length or just do what I can. If you don't give me much to work with, I may not be able to give a longer response

- No unreasonable "godmodding", if for the sake of your plot, you need my characters to go somewhere or do something, that's fine, but don't just make him do things that I haven't made him do. "Unreasonable" is at my discretion.

- If I am uncomfortable with something, I will contact you, and you should do the same! However, I still do reserve the right to end communications if I feel the need to do so for my own well-being, with only a follow up message afterward.

- "Dark" or suggestive topics aren't off limits, but please communicate this to me beforehand and I'll decide on a case-by-case basis. Any suggestive situations especially must be outlined explicitly beforehand (and don't even think about it if you're under 18.)

- If you want to stop RP, no problem. Just let me know.

- Multiship is allowed! Just talk with me- but I have many characters that would like to have a relationship build over time, rather than just have an instant ship.

- Feel free to PM me either here or @transitpresident if you want to plan things out or ask questions or give context, anything really! If you want my discord contact or want to RP there, PM me for more details. Multifandom/Crossover Info - Many characters have alternate versions, some even specifically tailored to certain fandoms. CHSR, Tanfour, and Prez especially have these, so if you reach out to RP with a character from a fandom- we can arrange for an AU version of them to meet! And even if they don't have one for your source, I don't mind interacting at all! Current Familiar Sources (off the top of my head) [* indicates there are alts available]

Overwatch*

Valorant*

Cyberpunk (2077/Edgerunners/RED)*

Pokemon*

The Stanley Parable

Portal

Splatoon*

Evangelion

Detroit: Become Human*

Houseki No Kuni*

And more! Just PM me! Plus, I have variants that are just generally compliant for specific settings, like modern ones, fantasy, etc. Feel free to ask! Thanks for reading through, and enjoy your time here at FourtyMart! - The Manager

[ghost-proofbaby]

Hi! I saw your 1k post, congrats!! I was wondering if I could get a ship and song if that's okay?

♡ sunset orange: tell me a lil about yourself, and i'll ship you with one of the characters i'm writing about this time around and give you a song that would be "your song" for the two of you!

I'll try to keep it short but hopefully give you enough to work with! I would say I'm fairly alternative - I currently have purple hair with a neon pink fringe (I've had pretty much every colour at this point, last colours were acid green and purple for Halloween, blue in the summer, etc), I have a few facial piercings and currently working on getting more tattoos. At the moment I have a finished half sleeve of anime/gaming/manga characters, a big thigh piece of one of my favourite anime characters and a few small random ones (faves are a cartoon skeleton with a party hat and a reference to My Chemical Romance because they're one of my all time favourite bands). As youve probably guessed I love all the stereotypical nerdy stuff, I'm huge in to RPGs (currently replaying cyberpunk 2077!!) and general story based things I can get lost in. I work as a mechanical engineer which is basically a fancy way of saying I do a lot of maths and problem solving. I LOVE going to concerts, music wise I listen to pretty much anything but at the moment I'm leaning more to heavier genres like nu metal (mainly stuff like Korn, Deftones, System of a Down, Sleep Token) as well as classic bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, etc. but I'm an absolute sucker for bands like Pierce The Veil, Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, Blink 182 and some classic trashy 2000/2010s bangers. I have a tendancy to ramble (clearly) but I'm usually quite shy and awkward around people until I'm more comfortable with them.

Thank you so much!! Obviously no pressure and I hope you have a lovely day/evening 💖

okay first of all... can we be friends? i think we're friends now. it's done, i've decided it. <3 you literally sound like such a goddamn cool person in all seriousness.

which is why it's no surprise that i ship you with eddie munson.

you probably know the drill by now, but please, let me explain.

when it comes to eddie, it's just a bit obvious, isn't it? you literally described yourself as his dream partner. someone who shares his music taste, someone who is just as nerdy as he is. you're incredibly badass with your dyed hair and tattoos, and from the moment he met you, he was a little bit intimated. but then he talked to you, and he was just an absolute goner. because you weren't intimidating, you were bright and wonderful, you were sweet and kind and god - yeah, he was a goner after that first conversation, especially when you just laughed gently after he made an absolute fool of himself. he'd love to help you dye your hair, and if you ever asked him to help you decide on a color, he would take it very seriously. at some point, you might even convince him to dye a matching strand, who knows? he'd love to spend his days laying in bed with you, the two of you taking turns pointing out each other's tattoos and listening to all the stories behind them. he'd love to hear all of the lore behind your favorite games and animes, just watching your rambles with big eyes and a lopsided smile as his chest fills up with so, so, so much love for you. he'd always be in awe of the way he finds you so much smarter than him, not understanding a word of the math involved in your job but just happy to see the way you explain it all to him with such passion. he's your shoulder to lean on whether it be a good day or a bad day, he's your number one supporter through it all. if you ever flipped the script on him and started gushing about his creative talents, how it makes his mind just a wondrous as yours, he'd get extremely blushy and shy in a heartbeat. secretly, though, he loves it. he loves being in love with someone who appreciates him just as much as he appreciates them. and don't even get me started on the music - you'd expose him to bands like Pierce The Veil, Fall Out Boy, and of course My Chemical Romance, and he'd just be a fiend. he wouldn't hesitate to buy tickets to those shows with you. get tickets now, figure out how the hell the two of you would get there later. it's all a little different from what he usually listens to, and he'll still love his classics like Metallica, but he loves them because you love them. because every single one of those songs somehow lead him right back to you, the best part of his life.

especially emergency contact by pierce the veil. it was the obvious choice for your song, considering you're the one that has had to come pick up eddie from the ER far too many times when he hurts himself doing stupid shit.

1k celebration - requests for this are now closed, but you can still send in general requests! just check out my rules first <3

They just don't make hyper-fixations like they used to

I'd say I should "hyperfixate" on my craft but my craft is just video gaming these days no motivation for anything else. Photo mode just so happens to be a joint thing with my new hyperfixation, Cyberpunk 2077 but cyberpunk is a very taxing hyperfixation the mods, already have my startup screen lagging and I felt I only downloaded like 3gb of mods?

Anyways um yeah I'm still breathing ig maybe I should actually do something on the weekend. A "purpose". I do a job I find "helpful" (helping older ppl) but once I clean up I'd rather just go home, I go home and then I'm sitting at home listening to my mom yell about shit or yell at me then I game to focus on anything else, or sleep and then I sleep and dream about stupid shit like nightmares or what I wish for? I don't really know.

Also I have like 20 cavities but haven't done shit about it *old cringe white guy smiling* like wtf ??

Cowboy bebop, Naruto, Rick and Morty, cyberpunk, samurai champloo, amvs, (idfk) Tokyo ghoul, I just don't fucking know anything

Idk maybe I'm just pressuring myself to have a "purpose" but maybe I should just be happy I'm alive and can even breathe a little longer. Especially the way the world has been looking. Everytime I think about having to get up to work I always have these "existential thoughts" ok bye

Edit: and my phone is glued to my hand or something. I LITERALLY PLAYED "MASS EFFECT" SO I COULD FEEL POSSIBLY WHAT PPL APART OF THE FANDOM FEELS SND I FELT LIKE A "PANG" OF INTEREST AND THAT WAS IT. Is there a correlation to me self diagnosing myself as adhdautistic? So many questions. I just watch tv shows just to pass the time mostly, most movies are just so formaliac, I have a hard time fully enjoying something. Ig if I watch with friends but still. I find myself mostly watching comedies on my alone time, Bob's burgers is just classic, and Rick and Morty still funny but I've watched it so many times. I have been making yt videos lately but then I have to remotivate myself to make yt videos again and I feel I only be having energy just for the gaming part so I stream stuff. (And i enjoy it) but then the depression sets in(or the other shit) and then I get upset that streaming isn't going to do anything for me (I'm never making it out the hood) not like I hate the hood but I don't exactly love it either,

Maybe this is just the disease of the impostered black "creatives" I don't fucking know

-----

When he wakes up, he doesn’t notice anything off at first.

Only when he rubs his eyes, stretching his arms, that he notices his shoulder hitting something that was on the couch behind him. His eyes find a naked thigh, and as they travel upwards, they meet curious eyes. He snaps out of his drowsy state, hitting his knee on the edge of the table before he hisses, addressing your now awake form. “How- how long have you’ve been up?” He stutters, not prepared to interact with you yet.

“I’ve been in a conscious state for 5 hours, 32 minutes, and 51 seconds, Master.” You answer, voice nothing like he’d have imagined. It’s soft, and gentle, almost shy- making him blush involuntarily.

“I uh- you could’ve woken me up..” he mumbles, averting his gaze to instead check some stuff on his laptop, making sure everything runs smoothly. His interface shows some errors here and there- stuff he will need to correct later. He unplugs the cables connecting you to his stuff, before awkwardly removing the other end from you.

“What is my assigned task, Master?” You ask him curiously, as he stands now, scratching the back of his neck.

“Uh yeah, uhm..” he starts, feeling weird talking to you like he will in the next sentence. But you’re at the start of your life basically- the clearer he makes his commands, the better you learn. “First of all, don’t uh.. don’t- ah no, I need to phrase that differently..” he mumbles, as you lean your head to the side a bit in question. “Okay- change admin title from ‘Master’ to Jungkook.” He says, and you look at him for a moment, eyes changing color for a second as your system changes the setting he wants you to. He notices one of your eyes glowing a bit dimmer as the other, something he makes a mental note of.

You nod after a moment. “Change completed, Jungkook. Would you like to assign me a task?” You ask, and he smiles now.

“No. But I’d like to ask you if you’re hungry.” He grins. You seem confused, as he continues to smile. You begin to note note that you like this expression on his face. It shows a positive emotional state. “A friend of mine, Taehyung, prepared some stuff you can eat. Gotta be careful with food first to not upset your stomach.” He says, suddenly growing excited at the fact that you’re awake and alert like this. Only when you get up does he finally realize something, instantly rushing towards you to hold the blanket up to cover you. He had taken off the sweater he'd given you to properly connect the cables, legs bare since he'd had to take off the sweatpants as well as to not have you overheat while uploading everything, now nothing hiding your bare body. “Aish! I uh- oh God uhm..” he mumbles, running towards his bedroom to retrieve a new shirt for you to wear,as well as some shorts. He’d totally forgotten about that.

“Wear this, we uhm.. we can buy you proper clothes later.” He says, and you nod, slipping into the shirt of his before putting on his shorts. They slip down your hips easily, and he can see you struggling for a moment, fingers visibly not moving the way you want them to. It's normal; you still need to calibrate some stuff. “Let.. let me help.” He mumbles, letting go of the blanket to tie the shorts a bit tighter around your hips at the strings.

You’re unfazed, face almost innocently clueless as you watch him. He feels weirdly protective now, helping you into the kitchen for you to sit down so he could prepare some food for you. “Just a small portion, okay?” He says, as you look at the bowl of soup in front of you.

“I could’ve consumed it in a cold state as well, Jungkook. There was no need for this amount of extra effort.” You say after having him heat it up for you. He waves it off, smiling kindly.

“No no, it’s nothing. Don’t worry about it okay?” He says, and you nod at that, slowly bringing the first spoonful of your food towards your lips before eating. You don’t even notice you’re beginning to cry.

“Hey hey- did you burn your tongue? You okay?” He worriedly asks, reaching out as you shake your head.

“I don’t know why I’m crying- I’m sorry Jungkook.” You say, as he simply reassures you yet again. Whatever you’re feeling right now must just be overwhelming you, he thinks. You probably can't remember, but your body definitely does.

That’s why his voice is soft with his next words. “Its alright.” He says. “I’ll take care of you from now on.” He promises.

And he really makes sure he keeps his promise.

While you’re filled with technical and theoretical knowledge, able to download data whenever you please, you clearly still lack actual hands on experience, even after a couple of days after having woken up. It really shows to him too after some days of living with you; you’re still a bit clumsy, not quite used to your limbs working so smoothly. You’re also very easily confused, frustration not something you’re used to feeling. Pouting is an involuntary response from you in those moments, and Jungkook has to admit you look absolutely adorable.

However, some genuine problems arise once he notices your lack of energy during the days. A week, and nothing changes- making him run a throughout check of your hardware using his own software tools. You’re sitting next to him on the couch, as he moves a bit of hair to the side to connect a small cord to the port right behind your ear. He’s very gentle, you notice; treating you very kindly, although his social skills clearly aren’t very well developed.

He clicks his tongue as he looks at something on his laptop, chewing on the inside of his cheek as he seems serious. You’ve run a datasearch recently, and have come to the conclusion that by the countries standards, Jungkook lands a bit above the visual norm. To you however, it feels as if he’s on top of it- but then again, you’ve only met him so far.

“Just like I feared..” he mumbles, and you look at him. “Battery’s fried.” He says. You can see on the interface on his laptop that your battery capacity is at a mere 34%. ‘Battery’ just being a simpler term for the energy system your body has- something similar to the human blood pumping through your veins, cells picking up the necessary nutrients and such. It's a complicated body mod that not many people get, but its a standard for androids, who lack a biological heart. “I don’t wanna make it worse, and Yoongi isn’t in during the weekend.. so I guess we’ll go for a small journey?” He says, smiling encouragingly at you. “I uh.. that’s a question.” He mumbles amusedly, but you only seem confused.

“What are you asking me, Jungkook?” You ask, and he smiles, disconnecting the cord.

“I’m asking it you’re okay with it.” He says. “Listen. You’ve got free reign, okay? You can decide whatever, I won’t be mad or punish you or.. whatever, alright?” He says, a hand on your shoulder.

And there it is again; the pout of frustration.

But its alright, he thinks, helping you downstairs and to his car. He helps you buckle your seat belt, driving to Yoongis garage, where he knocks on the metal door close by to alert anyone working. “Yoongs? Tae?” He calls out, and after a moment, an android walks up to the both of you. Your system doesn’t say if he’s scanning you or not- but he must be, with it being almost an instinct to all androids. You do it for sure, main data filling your mind as you nod. A shorter male walks in, smiling a bit as he taps the table close by.

“Got your text, already prepared some stuff. Take a seat, yeah?” Yoongi says, and you look at Jungkook first, before sitting onto the metal examination table. "Its nice to meet you." He mumbles before going to work.

“I’ve made sure Holly stays in your office for now.” The android tells the man named Yoongi, who you assume is his master. It doesn’t make sense however, as his system info shows no master registered- technically, he’s without one.

“Thanks Taehyung.” Yoongi says, working on some spots on your spine where he connects some small tubes. “You may feel a bit uncomfortable now, I’ll try and make it quick. I’ll be changing your main temperature regulation and nerve fluids, that should help your energy system get back on track. They were probably expired anyways- you gotta remind Kook over there to make sure you change them yearly.” The man explains, as You nod, before looking at V. Or Taehyung, as Yoongi calls him.

“You seem confused.” The android asks. “You can ask questions.” He says, and you nod.

“Your registered name states your name is V, but you’re not under any Master or Organization.” You say, as Taehyung sits down next to Jungkook. “How so?” You ask, whining a bit when Yoongi hits a nerve in your back. Jungkook seems to react too, but holds himself back, simply smiling in empathy as Yoongi mumbles an apology.

“I have chosen my name myself. And I am technically a Nomad. Androids don’t all have to be under someone’s command. You could say, I’m under my own.” Taehyung explains.

“You’re free too, by the way.” Jungkook explains. “I’ve only set my name as your uh.. owner, to mare sure you’ve got insurance if something happens.” He says. There’s a dog suddenly running towards you, first greeting Jungkook and the other android, before the small poodle puts his tiny paws against your shins, looking up at you.

In a moment of pure intuition, you place your hand onto the excited animals body, letting your fingers run over the soft coat.

“Its nice, isn’t it?” Taehyung says, and you nod.

“Jungkook.” You say, and he makes a sound to tell you he’s listening. “I like this. Can I continue this task?” You ask, and he chuckles.

“Anything you want.” He chuckles, the puppy happily barking as if to agree.

"Alright, pump is running. Try not to move much yeah?" Yoongi says, and you nod. "Taehyung, come on over here, I can use the spare time to look at how your bug is doing." He says, as Taehyung nods, sitting down next to you on the table where Yoongi connects him to a computer close by.

"A bug?" You ask, and Taehyung nods.

"I've helped identifying an issue with a costumer a few days ago, and accidentally got infected with a virus." Taehyung explains. "Yoongi-hyung has been treating me for it." He says, as the older male types away. Jungkook grows interested at that, walking up to him to look over his shoulder. Taehyung uses the moment of privacy with you. "If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me for advice. Adapting to this life can be very confusing." He says.

You look at him for a moment, before you nod. "I remember we met. But I can't access the full memory." You say.

Taehyung nods. "A lot of it has probably been corrupted due to the damage you've endured. The me you've met before however is not the me I am today." He explains. "And I'm sure the You I've met back then is not the You I'll be getting to know from now on." He says.

You look at your hands, still a bit scratched up. "I'm confused." You admit. "There's no benefit in rebooting and taking care of me like that. I'm wasting materials and resources." You say.

"In a logical sense, maybe." Yoongi says, walking up to you to check up on things. "But some things don't have to be logical. I've taken Tae in for example when I barely had any money. There was no reason to keep him- but I did it anyways." He says.

"But why?" You ask, and yoongi shrugs.

"Why not?" He explains. "He's a good companion- I've made the right decision, and I'm sure Jungkook made the right one too."

Jungkook nods. "You can take on tasks in the future if you want to." He says, and you sit a bit straighter as you grow excited at the prospect of being useful to him.

"In the future young lady-" yoongi says as Taehyung makes sure you stay seated as to not disconnect the tubes by accident. "-for now, let's make sure you recover first." He says. A ping alerts them, and Jungkook walks over to Taehyungs side to check.

"All checks came back clear." He says, helping Taehyung to disconnect himself from the computer. "Bug free." He says, patting tae on his back. You look at him before you avert your gaze, pouting. "What is it?" Jungkook asks.

"I'm happy." You say. "Why am I happy about i" You ask, and Jungkook just smiles.

"Because you're just sweet like that." He says.

[ahjustroza]

Do you have any hcs abt Last Legacy modern au?

Sorry for the wait! I just write very slow 🥺😭 btw I am still writing other requests! I'll post them as soon as I finish writing ✨😌😏 And YES I still take requests😏😏😏

Lol btw I haven't played the catboy Felix tale yet but found his delicious CG. Also, there might be typos etc. My dyslexia was a hoe for the last couple of days (･_･

Last Legacy Modern Au Headcanons

Sage

Lmao the first time you went to his place you faced with an ancient-looking old computer that he found in a garage sale

"It still works"

"Sage with its monitor alone you can heat your entire house in winter"

"Aye, but I don't have to use that to get heated if you catch my drift."

Let me give you a concept: thrift store dates

You took him to a thrift store once and thought it might be fun

But at the moment you entered the store Sage found a damn fake fur jacket and gold sunglasses

He will buy anything with a famous brand logo and say it is original and is an antique

But he'll only do that to annoy people

Mostly.

Sage cares about his looks but doesn't go crazy about it

Before dating you he just lived his life like a street kid like in cyberpunk 2077

Sage and Tulsi grew up in slums and then Sage got an apartment so that Tulsi could grow up in a safe environment

He didn't go to college but made sure that Tulsi did

Sage basically works as a mercenary in the modern au as well

He travels a lot and has to disappear for a looong long time

Tulsi is used to it but you aren't

Once you two are in a relationship and he feels ready to settle down he might get a job closeby to your shared house

You made him realize that he needs his family around him

And now he is not alone to carry all the burden by himself

He knows that if he can't make it in time you will be there to help out Tulsi or take care of all the work for him

He feels lighter around you

Also, he makes many people jealous on the streets lol

Whenever you two are on a date no one can believe that you, a literal divine being, could look at a Boku no pico catboy maid-sama man like him.

He is also jealous of you

But never possessive

He likes to send you out of context memes in the worst possible times ever

Like you got Luigi and Mario animations, doing the waltz, with the Britney Spears' Toxic song during the busiest hour of your shift

He also texted "This us"

The audacity

Sage would also LOVE video games

Especially Final Fantasy games

But he suck at playing them so he makes you play instead

And he'll give instructions too

"I saw a checkpoint in the other room babe,"

"Love, I gotta run away from the boss right now."

"It's not the boss, bosses have their boss rooms. This is an obstacle"

Sage also suck at filing taxes

So good luck with that

I can see Sage having PTSD treatments because of his traumatized childhood and the life he had to live until now after settling down with you

You convinced him to go to therapy and Tulsi backed you up

So he will take medications every day

At first, you had to remind him a lot, but then he just made it an addiction and now doesn't need reminders

He was never happier and finally had a taste of a healthy and caring relationship with you

He is also not so terrible with putting the IKEA furniture together.

Felix

He got expelled from Harvard.

Then his rich father had to convince the headmaster to reconsider the decision and Felix ended up with suspension instead smh

Felix's grades are great but he has disciplinary issues

I can see him majoring in criminal justice and mortuary science

Or maybe just mortuary science

Escell was very disappointed in him.

He is also famous for dating with the valedictorian among Harvard graduates

Then they broke up and you yeeted yourself in his life

Or he yeeted himself to your arms

He literally dramatically fell one day and you happened to be close to catch him

Then the Titanic music played in the background with the slow summer rain fell down to your heads

You are hot so he was flustered

Like he internally screamed when he fell in your arms

Or shall I say fell in love?

You two then started as friends since not too later he found out that he might actually have a chance with you after you mentioned your love of video games and romance books

After starting to date he confessed that he has an AO3 account asddgf

Rime was a burden too

He was the one who broke Felix's heart

But still wanted him to only love him and him alone

Then you were like

"Hoe listen to me..."

Rime hot

But no

Felix cried until morning the day you fist fought Rime in the grocery store parking lot

AAHGDHFA

Scylla secretly approved your determination that day and watched the fight afar

Escell got drunk and Florian came home the day after for everyone's explanations

The deeper your relationship got the more a part of his family you become

I mean every Friday it was now a routine that Felix and you attended family dinner

No one even asks anymore they just put your plate down and Escell hides his most expensive wine bottles from everyone

Felix is not good to live in his own house though

He always lived with someone in the house so he wasn't alone

Ever.

When you moved into the same house with him Felix was relieved

You two will be emos together and watch fifty shades of grey movies during the quarantine

Please ask Felix if he thinks the movie is interesting, he will avoid you all day long

Then become a blanket burrito at night lmao

Oh btw he might tell you random facts about mortuary

Like you are in the shower and he comes in to brush his teeth

Then he'll tell you a fact you didn't have to know then leave

"Truly fascinating, if you ask me."

He is also the type to text you from the other side of the room

Or call you from the other room to ask you if you can bring him something to eat

Felix would also love to go to the farmers' market too

"Finally some quality food."

Whenever you two go on a vacation together

lmao someone ALWAYS takes his hand and reads his palm

Only to be ended up getting scolded and getting a proper palm reading from Felix

Anisa

Call her and ask if she wants drive tru

"Love, it is thREE IN THE MORNING, I have work tomorrow-"

"So two? Or nah?"

"Get a coffee."

Actually, she wants a cookie but won't admit it

She knows you'll get her a cookie

You always get her a cookie with coffee

Anisa might be a great investigator if you ask me

If not a detective or a police chief or lieutenant

But I think she would work in law enforcement

Or she might also start her own company and rise as well

Unlike Sage and Felix, Anisa will not live in the same house with you before she decides to settle down for good

It's not because she doesn't want you around her

But because she is always at work and doesn't want to leave everything to you to handle at home

But she is always with you on her day offs

Will call you once a day at least

Text you during her breaks or whenever she can

If you can show up at her workplace during the lunch break she will take you to the nearest coffee shop

"Their coffee is not nearly as good as yours, but among other shops, this is the most drinkable one."

She will spoil you during your dates!

She likes to see you smile and will do anything for you to have a good time with her

So expect sweets, movie nights, amusement park dates, or just traveling during both of your yearly week/month offs/breaks

She won't admit it but likes it when you try to match your clothes with hers

She will know your favorite everythings lol

Take her to a dinner date and she will be so happy and feel spoiled

She will let you paint her nails

Let you get all the hot water in the shower

Will let you wear her clothes

Pillow fights are allowed every now and then

When she gets sick she'll try to power through but likes it when you baby her

Whenever you get sick she will try to not fuss over you but every 15 minutes she'll ask to take you to see a doctor

She is a cereal gal

You might have to drag her to bed many nights because she will take work at home

Oh my god, do play dungeons and dragons with her

If you visited somewhere she has never been she will ask a lot of questions about your trip

Likes to binge a tv series you two found online

Also enjoys just silent but comfortable moments with you

When you read your book she will gaze at you

All heart eyes

Will put her favorite picture of you two as her profile picture in her social media accounts

Will like your every post

ALWAYS TEXTS BACK TO YOU. ALWAYS.

Never leaves you on read/seen

She will either give you a proper text or just let you know that she is busy at the moment

Also if you come home later than her she will ask if you want her to prepare anything special you want for dinner

otherwise, she'll do dishes that you both like anyway

If she is late, she'll call you to ask if you need anything from the grocery store, etc.

WIP Day

Tagged by @derelictheretic aka, a precious bean

And to the surprise of absolutely no one, I'm workinv on the latest chapter of my Cyberpunk 2077 fic.

“So, who did you mean?” 

“Oh-” V stutters, somehow not expecting that question. Not quite as embarrassing as when her hookup or Barry mentioned Johnny, but it always takes her back when he’s brought up by anyone not privy to her situation. Surprised by how many times it seems to happen. 

“Yeah, V, who did you mean?” Johnny’s voice rumbles from overhead, playfulness in his tone. Smug bastard. Obviously, she can’t explain to Panam that she has a feral brain mold. 

“There’s just… a guy…” 

“A guy?” Panam raises an eyebrow and V doesn’t miss the suggestion in her eyes, the lilt in her voice. 

“No, no, no, no,” V denies emphatically, shaking her head and hands at a snickering Panam. Johnny cackling overhead. 

“Keep it up, gonna start thinkin’ you have a crush on me, V.” 

“Fuck clean off! Look, I didn’t mean like ‘there’s a guy’,” she fries her voice and tosses her hair back with exaggerated flair; “I meant like, ‘ugh, there’s a guy… blegh!’”  She groans and sticks her tongue out, pretending to blow chunks. 

“Sure, whatever you say,” Panam relents, smiling a little to herself as she holds her hands up in mock surrender, “so you and this… puke guy - live together?” 

“Yeah,” it’s not like Panam will ever see her one person apartment, “Neither of us really wanted it, sort of just got… forced into it. Were at each other’s throats at first, screaming matches, and hurling insults just to see who could hurt the other person more.” 

“Wow, sounds awful.” 

“Yeah, first thing he did when we met was call me a whore,” V shares, laughing a little at the admission. She keeps out the details of the assault and suicide baiting, Panam might think she’s truly deranged for forgiving that. 

“Christ, really?” 

“Mmhmm.” 

“Actually,” Johnny cuts in, “First thing I did was call you Samurai and tell you to burn the city down.” 

“Then you called me a whore and tried to kill me.” 

“Always got to focus on the negative, don’t ya?” 

“So, what’s it like now, you and puke guy friends now?” Panam asks, shifting to her side to face V more directly. The merc doing the same, the women now laying on their sides, facing each other, closer now- beers mostly gone. 

“Uhh,” V trips over the question, one that’s been rattling around her own brain…

“Yeah, V, you and him friends?” 

Her peanut gallery is not helping. 

“Friends is a strong word… But, I… like him more than I expected,” V stutters over every word, something feeling entirely too vulnerable in that admission. Almost wishes she’d just said they were friends. That what she just admitted may sound- worse or too much. Just grateful she’s looking at Panam instead of Johnny.

Tagging: Everyone reading this! Do the thing!
