I never posted this here… Shame on me really, since cyberpunk (as a genre) is my fav thing and robots/cyborgs are bae!
Was absolutely floored by these phenomenal pieces and started writing, then Cylin jumped in and bunch of the @continentcakeshop peeps and then ✨magic✨ happened (and now there’s even MORE amazing art on the way too!):

“Almost in position. How’s everything looking on your end, Scorpion?”
“Five by five from here,” rumbled Eskel’s voice in Lambert’s earpiece as he crept along the darkened corridor, sword at the ready for any unexpected surprises.
“Don’t forget it’s the second hall on the right, not the first,” came Geralt’s deep monotone.
Lambert blew a raspberry into his mic, “This ain’t my first fucking rodeo, Roach. Tell me something actually useful - like how you’ve got our exit plan secured already.”
“Your exit is clear. Still don’t know why you got to pick the call signs.”
Was it just him or did Geralt sound fucking petulant? Lambert grinned as he glanced around the corner to find the hallway empty as expected. Priceless.
“Scout gets to pick the call signs. Paperweight shuts his cakehole, Roach,” he chirped back over the line.
“I don’t understand what you see in that show,” Geralt grumbled. “I should block it from all your access points.”
“Gotta respect the classics, dontcha? Well, present company excluded of course. Yet again you’re the exception to the rule. Wouldn’t even be on this mission if it wasn’t for your broke ass. You’re just lucky you didn’t scratch my bike or I’d sell you component by component to the scrappers to put it back to rights.”
Not that he ever would, not really. Not after what Geralt and Eskel went through getting him out of that place; the price they’d all paid, the shit they had been through together since.
But Geralt didn’t need to know that. The so-called White Wolf had a big enough ego as it was.
“Mybike,” Geralt growled through the line.
“I’m sorry - and just whobuilt the damn thing? Not even getting a cut of this job either with all of it going to pay your repair tab. Y’know, I could be the one sitting at home in my PJs, minding the screens and eating ice cream out of the carton. But no - you had to go fuck up that milk run and get your servos blown to itty bitty bits. ”
“Didn’t fuck up. I - ”
“Would you two zuiger-brains shut the fuck up? I’ve got movement down here,” Eskel cut in, a sort of fond annoyance in his voice Lambert was well used to by now.
“Roach?” Lambert said, suddenly all business. “Give me good news please.”
“Stand by,” Geralt replied. “Pulling up the feed now.”
Lambert chewed his lip, hoping this plan wasn’t about to go tits up like the last one.
Oooooo I love cyberpunk AU’s. Will read this one for sure. And the art is
@cylin-aka-ankamo is just so damn talented, isn’t she? i am in awe of her brain. when i saw this piece it was like a whole world just snapped into place and i had to write it down…

What do u get by combining ancient china with modern AU WangXian ? Cyberpunk WangXian AU !
I’m planning to do a full AU of this idea I had one lonely night, but there is something called “virtual classes” that literally consumes all my non-existent time, maybe one day I’ll have time to plan this a lot more.
Just wait for me cuz I’m SO slow ahh
WHOA BB. I’ve been thinking about a badass Cyberpunk AU like this and I’m glad to see it!!! May I add this to your visual repertoire:
Cyberpunk Classic of Mountains and Seas 山海经| Lei Alucard, Anti-General
OH MY– G O S H HOW THE FREAK DID I MISS THIS ?! This is so COOL and gives me many visual ideas ! my ideas of ambience were a bit vague and this certainly improves everything, thx sm ! <3

This is my art entry for @ravencyclebigbang along with @mletart who wrote an amazing story and @static-abyss who beta-ed the story! I can’t explain how thoroughly pleased I am with how everything came together.
Our entry is a cyberpunk AU where the dreamscape is a virtual playground.
But the cost was higher than anyone would’ve expected…
Than he would’ve expected…
Parts of everyone laying on the ground, armors and weapons, burnt or covered in ice or roots.
The arcane war left no winners, but it left a couple survivors, including the last trollhunter…
He held the helmet in his hands, one of the few pieces that was left almost unharmed. The purple helmet brought back memories of when it was forged…and for who. That old vespa, a wholehearted gift from his first father figure, and Claire…the last person he expected to leave him alone in this desolate world.
The year is 2077. London is celebrating its centenary as an independent city state. One that feeds the darkest of humanity. A place where the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.
Somewhere hidden in the streets is a mercenary known only as Snow, who is contracted by the Merlin Conglomerate to zero the heir to the Pitch Corporation - Baz Pitch.
One less Corpo is a win for London, but will he do it?
This is not a story about saving the world. It is far simpler story of a man trying to save himself.
Happy birthday mama @moonlit-stargazer. I know you haven’t been too into the fandom as of late, but know that even with our wildly differing interesses you are still a beloved member of the server and part of a precious circle of friends. That today will be a wonderful day for you and may it be filled with many good surprises!
Kennyo believed in karma. He believed that with doing good came good, and that being bad would always bite you in the butt. It was a simple concept, in general, and in general Kennyo didn’t find it hard to differentiate between good and bad. It wasn’t all so difficult in his opinion, once one figured that in general, there was no harm done when extending oneself for another, and that harm came from keeping to oneself and to their own interests. It certainly helped with his citizen credit score, but that was beside the matter, and to Kennyo only secondary, for he barely used his credit at all for anything, having long found a way to separate himself from the system.
Your S3-R0 model android comes with full auto repair capabilities ;)
[Image description: Sero as an android. He sits on a table, his legs half dissembled, seemingly his own doing. he’s wearing a pair of black shorts but otherwise you can see all the segmented plates of his body. His face, hands, and torso seem to have a skin-like covering, though you can see seams all over his body that glow yellow-orange, at his joints and around the edges of his face-plate. His arms from shoulder to wrist are more obviously metal though, with his shoulders and elbows exaggerated ball joints that resemble his tape shoulder pads and canon elbows. One of his legs ends at the knee, and the other is missing it’s foot, with the shin stripped down to it’s interior structures wrapped with wire like ligaments. He looks off to the side, cheerfully holding a pair of wire cutters aloft. End description.]

I honestly wasn’t planning on uploading this until much later this year, but with everything going on in the world… with all the stress and anxiety surrounding the virus and our lifestyles getting turned upside down… Everyone deserves a place to escape. Reading has always been mine. I hope to give that small moment of reprieve to you <33
