Marko fanart that went off the rails!! Ooooh I am so happy with this one. I’ve been so scared to make proper fanart for Marko, but I think I did pretty good!! I’m ESPECIALLY happy with the variations. I couldn’t help but add a neon variation. Funky vamp man got some funky fanart. 🦇

Notes: Severen x Reader themes, kind of long and not entirely proofread

oh boy

I'm going to say you were with Severen already before this entire debacle and that Mae had just brought Caleb in, so the movie but instead of going with his family Caleb just left with the gang

so going to Santa Carla was less "let's go to the beach!!" and a little more "wow Texas looks kinda funny here ngl"

while, yes, the Near Dark gang enjoys a good rowdy time, a boardwalk as busy as Santa Carla's especially in the summertime is just far too busy

honestly though after bringing in Caleb, and the entire mess that had brought, it didn't take a whole lot of convincing to get everyone on board with a little vacation

everyone had split to enjoy what they wanted, the couples by themselves and Homer mostly floating around by himself but catching up whenever he bumped into another group

for you, Severen was deadset on going to the ferris wheel so much so that Jesse hardly got through making sure everyone was clear on when to return before running off with you

he was going to get a sappy kiss at the top even if the line was quite frankly too long to bother with the whole thing if it was the last thing he did

kind of a bummer he happened to shoulder check some curly blonde in a funny jacket on the way

double bummer Severen can't keep his big mouth shut and just happened to make a joke about not being able to see him down there :/

so of course the blonde (who you'll soon find to be named Marko) calls his friends over

mostly consisting of a lot of half assed appologies at your insistence and some back handed compliments on their attire, Severen manages to sweet talk his way into being semi buddy-buddy with the group

it doesn't take too long before you've found yourself chatting with the group; learning their names and asking the usual basic questions

from what you two can tell they're local but beyond that their answers are inconsistent at best and it's becoming increasingly clear there's more to the story than they're letting on

it seems David, the apparent leader of the bunch, likes you two enough to invite you back to their "cave" as they put it to talk away from the hustle and bustle of the boardwalk

lost story short, they assumed you were human while you also assumed they were human and only realized neither of you thought correctly when they tried to get you to join their own group via blood wine

really, after regrouping and bringing everyone down to meet the boys, they get along remarkably well

Homer sympathizes so much with Laddie that he goes on a personal mission to try and make this kid feel better about being stuck a kid forever

Severen, Paul, and Marko are chaos incarnate there is not a single inkling of commen sense between them, leads to a lot of property damage and lectures from Jesse

Diamondback decides she's mom now, tbh though who's gonna argue, and honestly almost has all the boys somewhat answering to her

they wouldn't admit it but they do enjoy having a mother figure of sorts around, even if it's just for a little while every so often

Caleb = Michael, they get along swimmingly and fully relate to having been mostly forced into this life by their now gfs

A look at it straightened when I just cut it:

Then with my emo bangs!:

And finally, with my natural, thick, curly hair :)

Not Reqested

Warnings: its midnight n im not proofreading, also it doesn't really read as poly at first but stay with me

these boys are so sweet and caring, each in their own little ways and together

dwayne likes silent forms of affection

he's the one who, without a single word, pulls you into a caring embrace

one hand softly rubbing the back of your head, further melting you into his arms

the other running up and down your spine as if he's trying to say "I'm here, I've got you and I won't leave until you're alright"

marko likes to suprise you a bit

he purposefully waits until youre preoccupation with something to wrap his arms around you waist from behind

he slowly but surely pulls you back so you lean farther into his chest as his thumbs caress small circles onto your tummy

either marko just holds you there so you can gently sway with him in a peaceful comfort

or his hands splay across your stomach in a quick and effective tickling attack (he one hundred percent calls paul for backup to help him continue the assault, but it's all good cause everything above the shoulders gets smothered in apologetic kisses)

david is cocky, and yet overwhelming gentle and possessive in his affections

he pulls you over to him (a smirk gracing those lips) so he can set you on his lap, exactly where you belong in his humble opinion

on the outside, david looks completely nonchalant, like the pretty thing perched on top of him isn't his main focus

but you and the other boys know better cause the second david's got you where he wants you, you can expect a leather clad hand finding purchase on the flesh of your waist under your shirt (or on your thigh if dresses are more your style)

he's not trying to cop a feel, he really just wants to feel the warmth of your skin and let you know that he wants you, that he needs you with him and the other boys

paul is endearingly sporadic

hes the one who quite seriously pulls you down onto the old couch with him so that you rest between his legs, back to his chest

first his hands are on yours, then they migrate to your shoulders, from there one goes to your stomach and the other moves to pet the top of your head in a small effort to smooth your hair down

hes giggling and quietly chattering away about this or that and, with his head lowing to rest on your own, you know he is never more comfortable than in these moments

together is when they become truly interesting, so many cuddle positions so little time

one day you'll find yourself with dwayne spooning you (occasionally leaning his head down to kiss your crown, maybe catch a whiff of the shampoo he loves so dearly) and paul slotted against your front with his head buried in your chest or stomach giving off the sweetest little snores

or maybe you awake to you and marko resting your heads on davids chest, his arms encircling the both of you in a protective embrace as you gently shift to meet marko in a small kiss before settling down once more

sometimes it begins with you and paul, him on his side as you big spoon him

then a weight comes in the bed behind you and from the small humph and cold fingers tracing along your side, you know david is the one now spooning you

from there dwayne moves to ever so gently lay pauls sleepy head on his chest, his fingers slowly carding through the blond locks

now, did dwayne lie has he did so marko could lay along dwaynes stomache and legs? yes, yes he did. is marko going to ignore this entirely and instead spread himself across all four of you? you bet your ass he is

hes lucky yall love him or hed have been sleeping on the floor

the best nights (days?) are when you come back to the cave a little late only to stumble on the sweetest scene known to man

the boys somehow manage to entangle themselves in a cuddle that looks more like a game of twister gone wrong than it does snuggling

you find a little home cuddled into davids side with paul lying on top of you both (mostly on david but thats hardly important), your legs move between the boys, joining the mass of limbs that will almost certainly have you five waking up with some strange cramps

Not my GIFs

David:

If David feels like something bad will to happen to you he’s checking in constantly but keeping his feelings mostly quiet

He likely won’t tell anyone other than Dwayne or maybe Marko (if he truly needs to get it off his chest) just because Paul will accidentally tell you or rope Marko into helping Paul tell you which David is not happy about

Like, yeah, something might happen but he doesn’t know for sure so in his mind it's better to keep you a bit in the dark rather than get you all scared

Although you can bet your ass if he feels like anywhere but the cave is going to be particularly dangerous one night you are not leaving

He can and will keep you secured on his lap in that old wheelchair while the other boys go out 

He’ll coo in your ear that he just “wanted to spend some extra time with you” and rub your arms and back oh so gently but inside he’s getting more and more nervous about something eventually happening and him not being there

Protective to the max until the feeling blows over

If David feels like something bad is happening to you at that moment he is on the trail before the boys can even ask what’s wrong

If someone is hurting you when David shows up, all bets are off

He is going to kill whoever hurt you, even if they ran off he will find them eventually

Likely won’t eat them, he doesn’t want a meal out of them he just wants revenge for what they have done 

Only after he’s killed them/mildly satisfied they fled the scene, David gently helps you up and envelops you in his arms, just burying his head in your neck so he can take a few shuddering breaths

He feels like he almost lost you, like he almost lost a piece of himself 

David is 100 percent going to keep even closer to him most likely via making you move into the cave or even just outright turning you 

At the least he will be with you 24/7 or, if he can’t be there (and there would need to be some end-of-the-world stuff going down to get him away) he keeps the boys with you 

If David feels something is happening to you and ends up being wrong, he tries to play off his sudden presences as cool as he possibly can

“Oh--uh--what are you doing here?”

“David I live here wtf.”

Even if the bad feeling is gone, David is still going to watch over you for a while

He needs to be sure that everything is ok again before letting his guard down

Paul:

Baby boy is just so damn upset if he feels like something bad is going to happen to you

Paul will absolutely keep attached to your hip (granted it’s not like he wasn’t constantly stuck there to begin with) even if the feeling goes away with nothing happening

Paul is definitely going to wake you up multiple times in the dead of night because he was trying to wrap himself around your sleeping form entirely 

It makes him feel a little better, likes he’s being a big shield so nothing can hurt his s/o

He constantly wants to hold your hand, or at least some part of you, while out

It gives him a little bit of physical comfort and also lets the both of you know that the other is right there and not leaving anytime soon

Paul tells all of the other boys as soon as he feels anything bad

Be prepared to have Marko or Dwayne not-so-subtly watching over you just ‘cause they’re getting a little worried about you too 

If Paul feels like something is happening to you, he either grabs Marko before leaving to find you or just leaves without saying anything

(There’s a pretty good chance Marko follows anyway just to see what’s up)

If you’re hurt when Paul find you, he gets so angry so fast it almost scares you more

Not angry at you, never you, but rather at the bastard who thought must have thought it was ok to do this

Though his anger fades with one soft “Paul?” 

Before you know it he’s at your side carefully looking you over and asking all kinds of questions non-stop

Once Paul knows you are ok (or at least ok enough to move) he’ll take you to the cave so you can rest in the safety of the other boys

Paul would stay for a while, holding your hand and trying to bandage you up (he’s not doing so well but he’s trying his hardest)

Remember how he was when avenging Marko? Yeah, Paul is coming home blood soaked, but happy to have some vengeance for you 

But if he felt something bad was happening and was wrong, Paul just embraces you as tight as he can

He was so scared and angry at the though of you being harmed that seeing you perfectly ok is euphoric to him 

Prepare to not being able to breath for a little while

Dwayne:

Normally, Dwayne is fairly protective but if he feeling like you are in danger that protection goes through the roof

If he would usually look to where you are every couple minutes to make sure you’re ok 

Now he is right next to you, with his jacket draped over your shoulders, looking to everyone else constantly

Dwayne knows what he and the boys are and he understands that for as “quiet” as Santa Carla is, there are threats everywhere either in the form of Max, other vampires, or those Frog boys

Whether on the boardwalk or in the cave, he has you gently pulled on his lap with his head resting in the crook of your neck  

He was absolutely doing that before but there’s a layer of fear to it now, like if he lets you go for even a moment, you’ll leave

Dwayne either tells all the boys or none of them

He cares about you so, so much but he doesn't want you to be scared over something that might not even happen and having the boys worry over you too will just make it worse

What do you mean you can't just pick up and hide away with him on a whim :(

He just wants you to be as safe as you can be, and if cradling you against himself for hours on end is what makes you feel safe then so be it

If Dwayne feels like something bad is happening to you he quickly looks around, almost surprised you aren’t there before running off to get you

His mind is racing with every single bad thing that could be happening to you with every moment it takes to be with you again

If there is someone harming you in some way when Dwayne gets there, they are removed immediately 

Dwayne normally wouldn’t kill like that in front of you if you’re still human but this time he couldn’t hold back

The moment it’s finished he’s checking you over for any cuts or bruises and apologizing like he’s been possessed

In Dwayne's mind he feels he should have been there, that this never would have happened if he didn’t leave you out of his sight 

It takes your gentle hand on his cheek and whispered promises that this is by no means his fault for him to calm enough to take you home

You best believe you are not leaving his side anytime in the near future

You’ll spend multiple nights and lazy dawns just lying in a protective embrace, Dwayne trailing his hands along your arms and stomach

If Dwayne’s feeling ended up being wrong and you are a-ok, he is just a wreck

Like Paul, the though of what could have happened to you just consumes him 

He needs some quality snuggles after the whole ordeal

Marko:

If Marko feels like something bad is going to happen to you, he really doesn’t change all too much

He holds you a little tighter, his kisses become a little more passionate 

Maybe he’ll ask Paul to keep an eye out for you if Marko himself is off doing something away from you

But other than that, you don’t think much when he pulls you onto his lap, his hand finding purchase on the small of your back to keep you exactly where you are

Or when his fingers absentmindedly toy with the drawstrings of your hoodie while he’s deep in thought 

What will really tell you that something is not ok is when you move walk to away, just for a moment, while he isn’t paying attention, and his hand surges forward to grab your own before you can leave

He may not show it, but deep down Marko is scared that you could potentially be in danger 

Especially when he doesn’t even know what the danger is 

Like Dwayne, Marko knows what kind of problems you will run into just for being associated with him and the other boys

The most he can do is watch over you and hope that this silly feeling will just go away on its own with nothing happening

If Marko feels like something is happening to you, like most of the other boys he immediately looks around for you before taking off

He tries not to think of the things that could be happening, instead Marko just focuses on getting to you as soon as possible 

If someone is hurting you when he gets to you, Marko yells to get their attention off of you

If he can, he is going to get them to go away for now so he can watch over you, he’ll deal with them later anyway

If they refuse--dead on the spot

Soon Marko is at your side just holding you a little, looking you over and asking if you’re ok

He gets you to the cave as fast as he can, knocking the other boys out of the way so he can get you alone and cleaned up in peace

He feels terrible for what just happened, regardless of how many times you tell him it’s all ok

But if feels like something bad was happening only to find you ok, he just acts like he wanted to see you and that was all

Marko’ll hang around for a little while just checking the surroundings and watching for anyone who could be a threat

Really, he’s just so happy he was wrong and that you aren’t in harms way, for now at least

Bonus -

Star:

If Star feels like something bad is going to happen to you she gets a little more paranoid than she might be usually

She is looking over her shoulder more to check there is no one acting strange around you 

David calls her out on it after she nearly jumps some guy looking you over and so she comes clean with what she’s feeling 

But Star really doesn’t want everyone to be acting up on something that might not even really happen

You keep with the little nightly walks and adventures, her fingers forever threaded with yours

But if the feeling gets too strong, Star’ll try to entice you into staying in the cave so you can go through the old rooms or listen to some old record the other boys found

As long as she can see you or feel your general presence, Star is more than happy

If you don’t have your own motorcycle (or car really) and have to ride with one of the boys, she absolutely subtly threatens them

David or Paul pulls some stupid stunt and she nearly rips their head off cause “you could have hurt them you idiot!”

If Star feels like something is happening to you at that moment, she gets a little disoriented like her world is shifting before taking off to find you

Seeing Star run off prompts the rest of the boys to follow after her, she may be fierce but they still want to make sure that not only Star is ok but you are too

If she comes across someone in the act of hurting you she is screaming at them like you wouldn’t believe

Every even slightly mean name in the book is being hurled at them with the full fury of a very angry Star

One moment she’s screaming, and the next Star is right next to you holding your face and so very gently stroking your hair asking if you’re alright

She’s on the verge of tears herself just imagining what could have happened had she not shown up

She’ll lead you back to the comfort of the cave, shushing any worries about whoever had been hurting you

“Sh, it’s ok, alright? They’re not gonna hurt you. I-I’ve got you.”

While Star gets you changed and calmed down, the boys come back looking concerned but mostly they seem pretty sure nothing like that is going to happen again

If Star happens to find you just fine, she’s just going to be a nervous wreck

She’ll tell you what she had felt and it will take some time but she’ll calm down enough to understand that you are not hurt
