    Summary

    NB: I have crossposted this story to Royalroad under the title System Override.

     

    A forced experimental drug treatment at an early age has saddled David with an immense burden.

    His mother’s insistence on his current lifepath as a corpo has done much the same.

    David is a speeding ball of fire hurtling towards an unknown destination, and his mother’s death has left him adrift and unsure of his direction.

    So he does what any teenager with no more fucks left to give does—he chips in some mil-spec chrome and looks for a quick way to earn edds, all the while learning to utilize the nanotechnology that had been forced on him as a child—finding out the immense potential within him as a result.

    Corpo or Edgerunner? Why not both? And why not the best of both while we’re fucking at it?

    Top of Arasaka Tower.

    Night City Legend.

     

    God.

    Summary

    You are Fatebringer. One of the best at being a force of nature against the most corrupt humans. Or in this case, *were* one of the best.

    After your crusade to clean up Earth in the only way you know how, you ended up arrested. A prison riot on Earth leads to you being killed by the prison guards, waking up moments later you find yourself in hell. Yet even in the underworld things aren't as they seem.

    Even in death your journey of ridding the Earth of the unforgiveable doesn't end. For there are many deep down in the brimstone and fire and up above in the clouds who will be interested in knowing the son of evil incarnate is walking around amongst them. Not all of them will be friendly, nor will they have your best interests at heart.

    On the plus side you'll meet a bunch of beautiful ladies from hell. Beautiful woman always are a plus in your book.

    (Side Note: Seeing I.M.P.'S Chick Magnet, THE most popular HH/HB x Reader fanfic on Wattpad by far get sniped by the Wattpad admins after 4 years of being published without any warning for the author who wrote it is the sole reason why I'm backing up Fatebringer on my ao3. Better to be safe than sorry. Enjoy.)

    Summary

    David had always heard that this city made men into monsters. He didn't think they meant it literally.

    Gloria Martinez had stolen a top-secret sample from the corpse of an AWOL scientist. She had been hunted down and assassinated for it. David should have died with her. He didn't. But that did not mean he came out unscathed. Whatever his mother had stolen had changed him; made him something else.

    He wasn't sure why these people were willing to slaughter his mother over one vial, but he wanted answers. And he had a feeling that whatever had changed him—this "Blacklight"—would give them to him.

    Summary

    I can't deny it. Night City is indeed the City of Dreams. For the living, the dead, and the dying alike. My dream? A happy ending. But those are in short supply, so I guess I'll just climb over everyone else and take it for myself.

    An Arasaka SI pre-Edgerunners.

    Summary

    "Job's gonna kill you."

    V could not ask for more. An Arasaka counterintelligence agent with above average salary, a roof under his head, corporate privileges to use to solve problems and himself for self indulgence. V was given an assignment to assassinate his boss's rival.

    What can go wrong? But at what cost? Does he get a pat on the head with promotion?

    Night City is a great place not to come.

    Summary

    Lucy makes a group chat for the Edgerunners. Hilarity ensues, and things go off the rails; at first in minor ways, but then in massive ways.

    (Marathon crossover kicks off in chapter 67; this is a Cyberpunk fic first, and I'm assuming no knowledge of that series on the reader's part.)

    Summary

    Aight, let’s kick this off.

    Name’s David Martinez. Fifteen. Born and raised in Night City, city of Dreams and nightmares.

    And yeah… I’m your Spider-Man.

    Most would probably go with, "I got bitten by a radioactive spider, someone close to me died, I turned into a superhero."

    I'm not most.

    Instead of a should-be fatal spider bite, I had a dream about a giant Spider and told me "The world awaits a Spider-Man", or some shit.

    Woke up different. Stronger. Faster. Stickier. Didn’t ask for it. Didn’t even want it.

    But here we are.

    I ain’t chromed, but people think I’m packing some preem military tech or corpo-grade ware.

    Nah, choom. This is all meat.

    Some freak twist of fate, and now I can throw down with gonks twice my size and climb a wall like it’s nothing.

    I'm trying to do good in a city that constantly wants to flatline me. I have got to rethink my life choices.

    Still figuring it all out.

    In this city, people get hurt all the time. If I can do something about it and just walk away? Then maybe I'm part of the problem."

    So I'm trying to be the solution.

    I’m David Martinez.

    And I’m the one and only Spider-Man in this hellhole.

    Summary

    You know the story, the tragedy that was Edgerunners. A city that showed no mercy. Brought us characters that we invested in and thought would reach their destination as victors, only to call curtains on damn-near every cast we grew to love.

    Well, what if some guy got thrown, unknowingly, into the shoes of our Sandevistan Savant right at his worst moment that started it all? Will he rewrite his destiny for the better? Or is this new path just another road doomed to failure and death?

    Now our would-be shmuck needs to get the weapons, the skills, and the eddies to keep himself and his mom alive, all while fighting one of Night City's most notorious gangs, stumbling into all kinds of trouble on the way, and maybe picking up some friends while he's at it. And also learn how to dance too.

    Wait, what?

    Summary

    David Martinez lost his mother. Dead. Gone. Flatlined, choom. Whatever other words you might use. Collateral damage in a car crash that so cruelly took only her. All that’s left for David is her old jacket, a piece of experimental chrome, a gun once owned by a certain rockerboy, and a guitar he hasn’t used in ages.

    Fate is shifting; there’s a new melody being played.

    David has two choices, paths splitting from the cursed fate he once bore.

    Face the music and accept his destiny.

    Or run the edge ‘till the very end.
