💡BG3 Companions in Cyberpunk 2077 //AU

just a fun lil personal HC i did at 3 am. Read each's quick stories below cut!

Aight here goes, sorry for the mess

💡Gale being a netrunner on a borrowed time since his cyberware is eating himself alive. His fixer (while also being his ex-lover) offered only one solution to his demise; sacrificing his corrupted virtu to temporarily cripple the Blackwall

💡Astarion, once was a big-hit lawyer and disappeared for a decade, re-emerges as one of the left hand for a big name in politic circles. Rumor is this politician used a few trusted of his people to 'house' an important experimental cyberwear to later be taken back and improved…

💡Wyll, son of Mayor Ravengard. While father wishes for him to continue down the politics, Wyll thinks it's more of a direct help to jump down on the streets directly, thus becoming an Edgerunner. Rumor has it he had dealings with people within Militech that granted him techs

💡Shadowheart, One of Arasaka's top agent. Her, being under Arasaka's teachings and guidance has little to none care for her selfish needs--that is until she was disconnected from their mainframe. Tasting the freedom and truth of her past, SH wanted to uncover all of it

💡Laezel was trained, Sponsored and backed by the Militech, she aimed to be the strongest living weapon of all times. Though, things didn't go smoothly once her implant was caught malfunctioned. She aim to regain control of her might, and refrains from being thrown away by the megacorp

💡Karla was a bodyguard of an NC political figure, then was betrayed and sold to a megacorp as a subject of experiment, and eventually broke out from there. The tech she gained DID enhance her abilities, but at the cost of it overheating and eventually gave her health problems

and a little bonus, my own Tav

💡Mira's family had been loyal to Arasaka for decades, she had also fell into the corporation hole. Until everything fell apart, Arasaka revoked everything and her family ruined by the megacorp, she sought other ways of survival and making her own name in Night City.

And of course, my durge Ian who's probably far mor familiar to some of you in cyberpunk than in BG3..

💡Ian, an Ex-Netwatch Netrunner. Retired from NW due to a lifethreatening incident involving a megacorp and now he only netrun for his small group (with Zil & Fiona) to quietly plan revenge

Fic title: Non-compliant Weapon (Rexobi, Murderbot AU)

(regarding this fic title meme prompt)

Ok, there’s two ways this could go. One, the slightly more predictable path of some flavor of reincarnation AU where the Jedi Organization (some kind of meddling well-intentioned doctors-without-borders type group) has gotten neck deep into several volatile disputes and need help, so they’ve gotten a generous donation of sec-units from, I dunno, Palpatine Industries (Insidious Industries is more fun, but a little too on the nose). Of course, these sec-units come with pre-programmed sabotage routines up to and including Order 66, and of course sec-unit Rex manages to wriggle around those.

The more interesting idea I had was a bit...messier.

The plunnie starts with the notion that for a full three hot seconds, some megacorp in the galaxy decided that clones were the next big thing and just mass-produced a whole bunch of them. There was enough outcry that the project was scrapped, the company went broke, and the clones were shoved in cryostorage to become someone else’s problem when all the lawsuits were done. Shortly thereafter, sec-units became a thing because that skirted some all the nasty ethical issues.

Decades if not centuries later (...I have no idea when the Murderbot books are supposed to be other than The Future), whatever megacorp bought up various assets discovers they have a bunch of illegal product sitting around frozen in a warehouse. It turns out that the cheapest method of disposal is actually to thaw them and toss them a small agro planet to colonize (the potential fallout if they just space the clones or keep them in a basement somewhere is just too high for profit margins, much to the relief of everyone else).

And that’s how Rex and his brothers end up thawed, with some nice genetic repair work, on a brand new planet all their own, and no idea wtf to do now since they aren’t expected to just fight something. Since Rex is one of the more restless clones, he ends up doing resource management, taking surplus out for trade and scrounging interesting stuff to bring back. And one day he walks into some space!army surplus store to discover in the back there’s an old sec-unit and its cubicle. Rex starts off feeling weird but wildly sympathetic to this deactivated fighting unit, only to become REALLY creeped out when he asks in passing about it – and learns its being kept around for eventual spare parts.

Rex is not okay with this. He dithers a bit, but ends up purchasing the whole unit and brings it home.

Cody gives him a bit of hell, but he gets where Rex was coming from, so he sort of resignedly welcomes their new sec-unit: [some clever punning/l337 speak version of Obi-Wan Kenobi].

So it turns out that this sec-unit is defective. It’s good at fighting, but it doesn’t like to fight. It talks. It talks a LOT. It’s astonishingly good at negotiating.

It also flirts with everyone except for Rex, which Rex is absolutely not put out about in the least. Really. He’s not irked. It’s a good thing. This damn thing comes out of the box flirting, that’s disconcerting so it’s kinda nice that Rex doesn’t have to put up with that – especially since it’s quickly decided that since the sec-unit does talk anything in circles, it’s most useful going with him to help him barter. And hopefully keep him out of trouble, though Cody is the only one to say that, the bastard.

Since this is a Murderbot AU, that means it turns out that there’s actually something Very Valuable on the clones’ new homeplanet, and at some point they’re actively defending themselves and/or having to diplomat with hostile bodies who are Not Impressed that a sec-unit is one of the main negotiators.

(It helps when things go pear-shaped, of course, since said main negotiator can dish out and take some extreme damage. So that's not too different from canon.)

Things finally settle down, Rex and Obi-Wan return to venturing out on the regular, until one day – probably after some spectacularly vicious flirtation with someone trying to kill them – Rex just blurts out, “I have never been able to figure it out. You will flirt with anyone and anything, the more hostile the better.”

“It’s a wonderful distraction tactic.”

“Oh, I’m aware. You specifically pick out pet names to enrage people.”

“It’s hardly my fault the Duchess didn’t like to be addressed as ‘my dear’!”

“It kind of is, but…” Rex hesitates, then shrugs, still not looking at Kenobi. “You have never once flirted with me.”

Silence. Rex sneaks a few glances, and Obi-Wan is refusing to look back at him. Finally, when it’s clear Rex will play the waiting game, Obi-Wan just shrugs right back. “I don’t know how to do it sincerely. Flirt for real with someone I like.”

Rex goes through several stages of oh with embarrassing speed. He twists around to stare. “What – but – even from the very beginning?”

Obi-Wan continues to not look at him. “I might have been...less unaware than my prior owner believed.”

Rex blanches, well recalling his own long time in stasis – a cold, mostly dreamless state of unconsciousness. The notion of being even somewhat lucid across those long decades is nightmare fuel even before considering the indifferent way the guy at the store had talked about spare parts in a box.

Then there are super-awkward cuddles, eventually leading to some kind of queer platonic aro and/or ace ship happily ever after. ^_^

Thank you, this was a fun challenge!

Artwork of Sy that's not related to their AU counterpart in the funny Italian food tower game, but is still technically related to the funny Italian game via referencing it.

I haven't talked about it much on Tumblr, but I'm making a video game with Pizza Tower-inspired gameplay called Revolt of Rainbow. It features Sy as the protagonist, one of few flesh and blood humans who ends up transported to a world of animated characters made of ink, paint, etc.

It has a Sonic SatAM-style premise where the bad guy already won—The colorful cartoon characters all contrast rather harshly with the grueling plutocracy they're forced to live under after one particularly ambitious character assumed complete corporate control of the world.

Sy gets caught in the middle of the conflict between the establishment and a small underground resistance movement when they happen upon a powerful tool of creation that manifests as a giant, magic paint brush.

They agree to help out the resistance both because it's the right thing to do, but also, in order to find their way back home, they need the power of *two* tools of creation working together, and it turns out, the guy in charge of the massive, tyrannical megacorp has one ripe for the picking.

Mallory, meanwhile... I imagine she'd be the protagonist of a post-canon, free DLC campaign. Sometime after all of Sy's business is done and dusted, she finds her way in the animated world while it still recovers from all the damage the megacorp did to it.

Completely coincidentally, Mallory ends up carving a cyclone of calamity through some lingering loyalists to the old rule, unintentionally helping the world's transition to a freer existence.

I drew Sy and Mallory together not just because they'd both be playable characters, but also because I imagine they'd have a similar dynamic to Peppino and Noise—Sy being the grouchier, more downbeat person constantly annoyed by Mallory's more zany, unhinged, out there personality.

One key difference, however, is that Mallory wouldn't actively antagonize Sy. Her sheer presence just kind of bothers them—They're already a bit of a hater, but they especially would dislike someone so loud, full of so much energy, and so... authentic. As a scene kid through and through, Mallory loves a lot of things other people might find deeply embarrassing, and Sy isn't able to understand it at all as someone harboring a lot of internal anxiety about being ridiculed.

Diversity win! The mad scientist that tortures people for an evil megacorp is nonbinary and bisexual! Kada is intelligent and loyal, but extremely intense, stubborn, and self-destructive. They have two husbands and they only like one of them. They enjoy binge-drinking vodka, binge-drinking hand sanitizer, being protective of their adopted daughter in an AU, raising exotic house plants, and binge-drinking more vodka.

Redeemed Recombinants AU.

A soldier's duty to disobey an unlawful order is greater than his duty to obey a lawful order. That doesn’t mean it’s an easy thing to do. Especially when the survival of your species is on the line.

Yet you have an imperative, and obligation, to resist any order which is illegal or immoral. If a government military enshrines that into its codes and laws, how can any good soldier, sailor, marine, and pilot, not do the same, even when acting as a mercenary?

Warriorship is never its own virtue in and of itself. Only righteous service gives a soldier's life meaning, not just the ability to take life. It must be with purpose.

Each of the Recombinants knows this in one way or another. The pain and doubts they may have had were all drowned out with more violence, with drugs, alcohol, sex, but it is always there. Each time they have to hear the sobs and pleas of the Na’vi, it only gets worse. How many times can you tell yourself its ‘for the greater good’, when you are committing the same acts you once enlisted to stop?

“A Good Soldier exists to protect those that cannot otherwise protect themselves.” was what someone told you once. Can you even remember who it was? Did the RDA delete it from your mind, or did you invent it? does it even matter anymore when you’re given a brand-new body to live in?

We have to live with our sins because we only get one life to live. But what if you could get another chance? Would you do it all the same?

Colonel Miles Quarich and his Recom soldiers will never see themselves as part of the Na’vi. But they are not human anymore. They all toe a line that makes them separate from their original species, just as they toed a line that made them forever stand apart from the civilian populace they once came from.

Pandora is not their home, it is a second chance for humanity. But a second chance means being able to do better, to be better people. This is what eventually puts them into conflict with the RDA. The company is just doing the same things to Pandora that destroyed Earth. They couldn’t give less of a shit about saving humanity if they tried.

The companies and governments may sell the lie that it was people enjoying a slice of pizza, having air conditioning, or a TV that killed Earth. Thats all bullshit. it was the megacorps, the greedy politicians, the fortune 500 billionaires cutting down entire forests, enslaving the poor in inhuman working conditions, and polluting the planet; all to make an extra buck and have another McMansion that they would never live in. They were the ones who fucked the Earth to death. Not average folk just trying to get by, who now have to pay the price for the avarice of the wealthy fat cats who did everything in their power to make sure nothing could be done to slow or reverse the damage, until it was too late.

Then they left the world so screwed up that the only option which followed was constant war over what little resources were left, and then taking the nearest habitable planet by force.

Now those same greedy bastards who ruined the mother world are doing the exact same bullshit on mankind’s last chance at survival. They know exactly what they are doing, the greedy bastards can only see the universe in the sense of ‘how can it make me richer?’, because that's all that matters to them. At what point does it stop? It only stops when someone stops it themselves.

The Recombinants could be the ones to put an end to it, more so than Sully and his people. The recombinants can give the humans of Earth, and any other newly minted Recoms, a third option beyond going native, or sitting back to die.

All it takes is the courage to finally stand up and say ‘No’.

============================

This is the product of me enjoying the concept of the Recombinants way too much (and Recom Quaritch having way too much charisma and little redeeming moments). I don’t think I will ever do much with this, but perhaps someone else will enjoy reading it and do something with it if they enjoy it (you have my full blessing). Below I will include some random ideas related to this entire topic.

*Recoms escape with any scientists, engineers, soldiers, or civilian staff who is willing to come along and is sick of being corporate puppets and committing atrocities on the native populations of Pandora. They want to stop the violence, but don’t want to abandon all the scientific and social progress humanity has made, like those they see as going primitive like Jake Sully. Sadly, the RDA will seek more violence to keep this mindset from spreading to anyone else.

*When the Recoms engage former allies they will give them one chance to disengage, or drop their weapons and surrender. Those who do are treated respectfully and given the option to join, or be sent back to the RDA with a few broken bones (to take them out of the fight for a while, since the rebels don’t really have the capacity to care for prisoners long term). Some accept, some are spies, and others don’t care, they are in this for the money.

*Recoms, humans (and maybe even Na’vi interested in technology) finding cave networks to set up secret hideouts to hide from RDA air patrols and hostile wildlife. Using a combination of skills and equipment from both species they make it livable and can seal off sections ot be breathable for the Na’vi or humans.

*Recom Rangers coming about as result of cooperation with the Na’vi, and applying the skillsets of both species to make them better able to use technology and the native biology of Pandora to their advantage.

*Scientists and botanists within the Rebel Recom hideouts working on medicines that can benefit the Na’vi and improve relations with them, while also experimenting with foods that both species could eat, and thus better share the land.

*Recom vs Recom combat as the RDA brings in crueler mercenaries to hunt down the rebels. The Rebel Recoms have to fight their own dark mirrors and see what they could have been if they’d lost their souls to corporate greed.

*Rebel Recom hideouts tend to be far more energy efficient and sustainable than anything the RDA makes. It is out of necessity (since they don’t want to be leaving smoke trails from burning oil or coal like the RDA does), and because they want to actually have a better start for humanity one day.

*Na’vi who join the Recom Rebels will be taught their ways, and learn more about humanity than just the negative picture the RDA gives by stripminning the planet. Some may find an enjoyment in the stories the humans brought with them (with some even comparing the Recoms to ‘Frankensteins’, it seems even aliens make the mistake of not knowing that name is for the Dr. not the creature). But music will be what truly starts to be shared among them, as it proves to be a universal language.

*Sometimes the rebels will have to raid RDA facilities of convoys, and try to limit casualties as much as possible. They are there for the supplies, not to slaughter people. But the RDA will adjust the numbers to make the rebels less appealing to anyone who may have sympathies to their cause.

*Recoms tend to find cave networks full of oversized insects, and have to go in to clear them out to make it livable for rebel hideouts. There is a near constant stream of ‘bughunt’ jokes going on. Sometimes the networks can be too small for a Na’vi sized soldier, so a human volunteer will have to go in and clear out the remaining bugs before the cave is safe for habitation.

*Some Na’vi tribes end up siding with the Recom Rebels for a variety of reasons. Be it because they like the idea of a more reliable food source thanks to hydroponics, medications to aid those with disabilities (be it from injury, sickness, or from birth) among the tribe to live without pain or constant discomfort, or even be able to regain some mobility and independence. The rebels quickly end up being called the ‘Moonwalkers’ (much to the amusement of the humans and recoms) by allied tribes because they only ever want to walk freely at night, when they know there are less RDA patrols and drones out.

*Not all such encounters with the Na’vi are wholesome. Many still remember what the Recoms, Humans, and RDA did to their lands, people, to the natural world. They still consider the rebels as enemies, even if they fight the corporation. The Rebels try to follow ‘only fire if fired upon’ rules of engagement, but sometimes things get crazy, and they have no interest in dying.

*Eventually, the Recoms might be given a chance to swap back to a cloned human body thanks to the transhuman level tech involved in avatar control and while some will take it, others wont. Their Recom body is their true self now. They are different than who they once were, and want to move on from that past to a better future.

The Expressions of a Trapped Mind

AU By Maea.

Feel free to add ideas for canon characters (with consent of course) and I will look them over!! For the most part this goes over Krogan, however if you would like to add ideas for characters like Viggo then feel free to do so! Au is under the cut and trigger warnings!

Tags: @ziggityzigg @duoatomica @amyrafiercebladeartz (y’all like the weird crap I come up with also this came to me in a dream.)

TWs:

- Non-Consensual Medical Experimentation

- Non-Consensual Drugging

- Human Experimentation

- Self Harm

- Governmental Abuse of Power and Corruption

- Talks of Severe Mental Disorders such as the following: Disordered Eating, Stockholm Syndrome, Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder, Extremely Graphic Anxiety Attacks

- Other Potentially Disturbing Content such as: Blood, Gore, Violence, Cannibalism and Body Horror.

DISCLAIMER: This AU will also contain a much darker take on a NON-CANON related world of How to Train Your Dragon there is still Dragons and whatnot, however characters like Hiccup are going to be quite different. I will block users and/or delete any comments complaining about this AU being “too different” from canon or character being “out of character”. Because I frankly do not care.

If you find any of the above topics disturbing and/or triggering then PLEASE avoid this AU. Thank you for reading this.

Setting

Post Modern, High Future. Timeline wise, this AU would take place roughly two years after How to Train Your Dragon 2.

Important Characters:

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III: (CEO of PSI (Primordial Solutions Incorporated) and Lead Scientist on Code: UMBRIS, which began as a study of a new drug charmingly called Umberglass. Human testing has just commenced with Subject 001-KR.) Son of Stoick The Vast

Astrid “Valkyrie” Hofferson: Fiancée of Hiccup, CEO of Greater Holding and Management ©

Stoick “the Vast” Haddock: Emperor (and Dictator) of Veritima, once known as Berk in the history books, but after the Haddock Ascension and Overthrow the name was changed to a more fitting name of the warlike Iron Fist of Dragon Masters

Subject KR-001 (Calls himself Krogan.): Prisoner of War. Captured during the Battle for the King of Dragons. Originally owned By Drago Bludvist, now belongs to Primordial Solutions Incorporated © due to a sell off by the Greater Holding and Managment ©, the megacorp that owns most prisons. CURRENTLY 2 YEARS AND SIX MONTHS IN TESTING.

Information about the AU

Dragons Exist. They are extremely common, and are in fact the main portion of this AU in its entirety. Dragons are used for everything. Bioengineering, weaponry, and as day to day pets.

Drago Bludvist attacked the nation of Veritima (Otherwise known as Berk) (2790 AD), wherein his forces were overthrown and he was killed. Most of his prisoners were taken into the Veritima Prison System, owned by Greater Holdings and Management, who would distribute said prisoners and warriors of the warlord into districts that would fit them depending on how dangerous they were.

KR-001 was taken from the Ricter District Facility, a high security prison that dealt with the most unstable and violent inmates and prisoners that had issues socializing and tended to be aggressive towards handlers and staff members, and was Procured by the Nation’s Leader’s Son, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III.

KR-001 was captured during the Battle for the King of Dragons, a year before the Great Massacre (2789 AD). Hiccup Haddock Procured the man himself and placed him in the Ricter Facility due to the man’s quote “Prickly” nature.

Umberglass is not, in fact a drug. It is called that to the public. It is an injection of a fluid that contains a mixture of experimental gene-altering nanobots and Dragon DNA, with a base of Lycanwing Venom so the Dragon DNA sticks to the more human genomes that are being manually altered by the scientists from the outside of the body.

Cybernetic prosthetics are extremely common for body parts that are considered “broken.”, although sometimes they are used for looks.

This AU, for the most part, focuses on Krogan.

Month(s) One-Six.

Krogan is brought into the lab on February 1st, 2792. He is aggressive and mean to staff at the Ricter Prison where he came from, so he is bound with a straight jacket, a blinder and a muzzle.

He likes to use his teeth, apparently. He is injected on February 1st after being sedated due to not sitting still long enough for nurses to deliver what Hiccup had told Krogan was “medication.”

Hiccup’s voice seemed to enrage the man to no end, made him want to scratch his eyes out of their sockets, but all he could do was growl and snarl at the other man.

Krogan is left alone for the rest of the day to wake up again so Hiccup has an awake and not groggy subject to test on.

___

On February 3rd, Krogan’s appetite has seemed to increased. He is oddly calm. The Lycanwing Venom is Taking Effect.

___

Stage one of Gene splicing began on February 4th as, Krogan’s lycanwing Genomes are now steady enough to continue with further protocols.

On March 5th, Krogan has gained about five pounds. His body is hoarding food and his hormones are starting to go completely out of whack, quite similar in a manner as if he was carrying offspring.

Aggression had spiked a few days prior, which ended in lower intern, when coming to provide him with his food being injured and mauled. They lived, however they needed permanent facial prosthetics.

Feeding must be now be done through extremely minimal contact with the newly dubbed Subject KR-001

___

(March 14th) It broke the viewing glass. KR-001’s Strength has increased to almost double, if not triple its original strength. Glass was successfully replaced with an electrified ceramic-coated glass that is several inches thicker.

KR-001 has left it alone for now.

Genetic Changes have began to finally appear. KR-001 has experienced some growth of its limbs and its extremities. A stubby tail and claws are all we can make of the initial changes.

It cries and begs to be let out. Do not let it come out.

___

(May 2nd) Subject’s weight has increased by a surprising amount. KR-001 Started at 340 pounds and is now up to 359 pounds. Hunger has seemed to be constantly bothering it, as well as it weirdly beginning to try and dig holes in the tile of its cell near the doorway.

As of right now it has been entirely unsuccessful except in bloodying its fingers on the floor and wearing its new claws down to nubs and/breaking them off. Proper protocol has been incited. Subject has been given The Mittens to stop it from scratching or hurting itself.

Tail is longer. Around six feet long. Has a sharp venomous barb on it, which has been capped to stop KR-001 from injuring staff or itself with the neurotoxin contained within the barb.

Subject’s nose has been modified to be larger and more prominent. Sensory organs are supposedly growing stronger.

It has not stopped crying for over a month.

(June 3rd) KR-001 has eaten a member of security. A group apparently got drunk and unlocked the door, only to have a situation as it lunged and ate Davin S. Morris alive. Davin was too far gone by the time help was able to get to him. Cause of death was most likely caused by KR-001’s teeth and jaws biting through his skull and severing his spinal chord from its brain stem.

Subject is up to 600 pounds. It has grown taller, going from 8’2” to over 9’0” closer to 10 feet (actual height is 9’11”) tall. The tail is around the same length as it is tall.

KR-001’s claws have grown back.

(July 14th) It has finally stopped crying after punishment was implemented in the form of a shock collar.

KR-001’s limbs are once again longer, though only slightly, and so are its torso and its neck. It seems to prefer moving around on all fours, and has seemed to have lost a bit of mobility in its wrists. The opening to its mouth is far wider

Subject has been extremely docile. Shock collar is unneeded but remains in place. It has began to talk to itself and chew on its own limbs and the walls. They have been replaced with padding for KR-001’s safety.

KR-001 has lost some weight, and is down to 590 pounds.

Subject has stopped eating on (July 10th) and refuses to eat any food given to it. Heads have agreed that partially sedating the subject and forcefeeding it will fix the problem.

It has gone over without a hitch.

Year One

KR-001 has become a partial success. It still refuses to eat and protocol of tube feeding it has remained the same. It is tame enough to handle with no issues of being bitten or needing to be sedated.

At Night it screams until its throat is hoarse and during the day, it speaks to itself in seemingly meaningless chatter. Hiccup has grown annoyed with this factor and shocks it any time it tries to proceed with the unwanted behavior, though it does nothing to stop it, only sending it back into week long spirals of sobbing and screaming to be let out.

It has began to draw on the walls.

KR-001’s body has twisted in unnatural ways. It has lost most of its toes and has became digitigrade with the three that remain. It can no longer stand on its legs for extended periods of time. Its tail has grown a straight, hairy drape running down the tip of it, and its ears have become sharp and batlike. KR-001’s eyes are extremely sensitive to light and its vision has rapidly been growing worse in the last few months.

Current.

KR-001 has refused to eat for more than two years. We have replaced its stomach with an artificial one and equipped it with solar panels. It can now simply eat using the UVB light provided to it in its room.

Its eyes failed on March 4th, 2793. They have both subsequently been replaced with new, better ones equipped with state of the art heads up displays that will give it everything it wants to know.

KR-001 Kept breaking its own arms somehow and would not let them heal. Panels from the somewhat internal solar panels have been included into the panels of its new cybernetic arms, meant to be exact duplicates of its old arms.

It can stand on two limbs again as normal as of recently, there is no reason why it has developed this ability again.

Its teeth are all razor sharp. It will not stop scrabbling at the window even if it shocks it. All the electricity seems to do is piss it off.

(December 4th) It broke the glass again. This time it escaped into the real world. We do not know where KR-001 has gone.

Krogan had successfully escaped. He didn’t even want to, not at first, he liked it there. At first. And then he started to spiral again. He looked for normalcy despite his horrifically mangled body. He was far too identifiable to stay in the city and he knew this, so he fled to the countryside, and then into the forests.

He was safe, or at least he hoped so. No more artificial lights. No more shock collar, no more electrified glass. Everything was as it should be. He was okay. He just needed to find somewhere to live.

Shinigami in the Silent Ward AU

At first, I wasn't planning to include Shinigami at all in this AU. But after some conceptualization in my head, I think I've got her role in the story down pat!

Shinigami isn't necessarily a character, but moreso an omnipotent force. While the megacorp's underground cult worships the god Amaterasu, Yuma prays to Shinigami in contrast. It's a practice he's performed ever since he heard the myth from fellow WDO members that the god of death watches over all detectives, giving them the strength and conviction to find the culprits they're searching for. The more a detective encounters death, the deeper their connection grows to Shinigami.

After the events of the Amaterasu Express Massacre, when a cult member disguised as one of the detectives set many of the drugged investigators aflame to protect his god from the plague of outsiders, the surviving Yuma exits the train with death clinging to him from all sides. That night, in the safety of the Furio home, Yuma prays to Shinigami once more, wishing for the strength he needs to see this mission through to the end. His cry for help does not go unheard. In his sleep, he's granted visions of an uncertain future, painted in unfamiliar colors. He doesn't know it yet, but in those moments, he's viewing the world through the eyes of a bedridden Makoto, weakened from losing half his spirit and using up all his power. And so, every night before he sleeps, Yuma prays, then gains visions of this mysterious man in his sleep in return, learning more and more about the cult as he does so. While the other detectives, including his own adoptive father Yakou, think Yuma is just having guilt-ridden dreams as a result of the massacre, one survivor knows better.

Vivia Twilight is all too familiar with the god of death Yuma prays to, for he worshipped her back when he was only a child. He wished for an escape from the cruel world he was trapped in under his abusive parents' roof. But the escape he was given wasn't the gentle cradle of death he had hoped for. Instead, he was cursed, plagued by unending visions of vengeful spirits and lost souls stuck in the mortal plane. They cried out for salvation, but Vivia could only listen. He endured the wails for his whole life, leading up to this point in time where Yuma claims he's been given a gift by Shinigami. Deep down, a burning rage sleeps within Vivia. But he keeps quiet, opting to observe Yuma and wait for the right moment to arrive. The moment when Vivia can tear down Yuma's beliefs and make him see what he sees, even if the only way to truly understand is for Yuma to die.

#shinigami is a bit of an asshole for this au #her thought process with vivia was #'hm lets make this child appreciate his life by forcing him to see ghosts for the rest of his life so he wont want to end up like them'#and it kinda worked but also backfired cause now vivia hates her and anyone who prays to her #yuma got real fuckin lucky that she likes him because hes supernatural and has ties to the cult of amaterasu #cause shinigami wants him to destroy the cult from the inside out #amaterasu and shinigami arent on good terms as gods ill say that much #silent ward au #master detective archives: rain code #rain code #rain code spoilers #yuma kokohead #vivia twilight #shinigami

DrakeNieR2077 | DRAKONIA -

Drakonia, stemming from draconian, is a black metal band created by Legna as a way to protest against the mega-corporations and singing anti-capitalist rhetoric to empower the voices of the people. The name is a mockery of draconian or draconian law, meaning excessively harsh or severe. At the time of its formation and the political landscape, many megacorps were viewed as entirely ruthless and money-hungry.

Artwork (c) Julia C. | Bioswear - 2022

Angelus is to Alt Cunningham, but only in that she’s a Legendary Netrunner and created the AU equivalent of Soulkiller

Michael is to Johnny Silverhand and serves a similar role mixed with his DOD3 character

Legna is to Kerry Eurodyne, but less Camp and is meaner

Gabriella is to Rogue Amendiares, a legendary Fixer and owner of Afterlife (name unchanged)

#my art #drakenier 2077 #drakenier2077 #some of these designs were real shots in the dark nil #ngl #like Michael I’ve never seen a human Michael but he’s decidedly dad bod from now on #legna’s design that was already in existence #was so boring that it wasn’t worth using lmfao #drakengard #drakengard 3 #cyberpunk

five fic friday

Some more long bois this time, I guess, with one little fic, and a bonus entry.

Extended Courtship (20K, M) by @things-with-teeth - I had forgotten about this one and found it in my phone browser tabs, and on re-reading: it really is one of my absolute favorite post-S1 reunion fic. There's so much about it that I wish I had written tbh. We love a growth arc. (the crew having A List is one of my favorite things of all time.)

A love that won't stand still (231K WIP series, E) by @sassygwaine - I CANNOT BELIEVE I haven't listed this one before. Modern AU; Ed is a retired enforcer, Stede works for his dad's megacorp. Suspenseful, romantic, thoughtful. Also: the album Bleed Out by The Mountain Goats in fiction form. I have cried reading this probably more than any fic I've read, mostly because of the trauma recovery stuff, and because the Ed/Stede relationship reminds me so much of me and Ryn that it makes my heart ache. There's only one chapter left afaik, so this is a great time to read if you haven't already!

Prize Every Time (46K WIP, E) by @elapsed-spiral - modern AU rival amusement parks, of all things. Friends to lovers/enemies to lovers, You've Got Mail style. The tone of the emails is really delightful, and the transposition of the dynamic to the very low stakes tiny amusement park setting is funny.

Transformative Work (41K, E) by @mia-ugly and @pinehutch - a very curious entry in the post-S1 genre; Frenchie is the narrator, trying to "write a bit of fanfiction" for Blackbeard, to imagine a better ending. He gets some help. Some of it is very funny, some it is angsty, some of it is tender. (Ivan's fanfic is some gorgeous lyrical stuff.)

but that's none of my business (1578, T) by @chaotic-neutral-knitter - just a fun little fic wherein Lucius suspects that Blackbeard, newly arrived on the Revenge, might actually have a thing? for their captain?

bonus round, because it thoroughly melted my brain but it's so extremely ymmv that I feel like it needs to be recommended separately: Water Flowing Underground (22K, E) by @gaypiratebrainrot - yes, THAT fic, the schroedinger's rpf about a pair of actors named Stede and Ed cast as gay pirates named Gentleman Pirate Rhys and Taika aka Blackbeard. First of all, the writing is stunning. Secondly, heed both the tags AND the author's note. The questions of identity and transformation and fiction and, mannnnn, I dunno, it just lives in my head rent-free now. So I guess that is also a warning?

#fwiw as a person who is Tender Babby about bad endings it didn't hit me in *that* way #and altwss also lives in my head rent-free #the way I wish I could share it with Ryn (sigh)#ofmd #ofmd fic #five fic friday #this week is special because six fic I guess
