THE NEVER KING.

“this one is like a feral cat that wants to push the saucer of milk off the table just to watch it spill. i like that about her.”
SPOILER FREE REVIEW BELOW THE CUT
this is the first instalment of the vicious lost boys series and is a dark re-telling of peter pan and wendy. it is also reverse harem. the story follows our Darling, as she’s taken by Pan himself as he attempts to find his shadow. along the way, Kas, Bash, and Vane learn to love and take care of our Darling.
this book includes: enemies to lovers, morally dark characters, ‘you touch her and you die,’ and hot scenes.
as this is a dark re-telling, please be advised of the trigger warnings: graphic, rough sex, public sex, group sex, dub-con, graphic violence, language, captive/captivity degradation, submission, bondage/ropes, blood play, choking, CNC. do not read if you are uncomfortable with any of the warnings.
MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK
i really enjoy dark novels, but i especially love dark re-tellings of the classic childhood stories. needless to say, i was excited going into this book! however, i have some mixed thoughts.
the plot was great, i thought it was very interesting and there were some great twists. please be advised that this book ends on a cliffhanger and there are only two total books out in the series thus far! i will say that i read this book in a day—it’s an easy read.
the sex scenes were a lot, but pretty well done. some of the dialogue was corny and cringey, but i find that most romance novels have a few corny lines here and there that i actually end up kinda loving! the sex scenes were insanely graphic and i did have to put down the book a few times.
what really made the book were the four love interests; Pan, Kas, Bash, and Vane. all four men had insanely different personalities (i have a soft spot for Kas) that really shone in scenes with dialogue.
i’ll be doing a review on the second book soon, which will have many more thoughts. overall, i would give this book a solid 3.5 stars out of 5! i think if it was a little bit longer and with just a little more character development, it would’ve bumped up to a 4.

Chaos [P.P & F]
Yandere Poly Peter/Felix X Gender Neutral Reader
Requested // Request Rules
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Could we get poly yandere Peter and Felix x gender neutral reader? I’m thinking a reader who has kind of trickster/chaotic sort of personality.
I don’t know if this is too much for one request so ignore this part of it is but it would be really interesting if the reader was from/grew up in Neverland— maybe the kid of one of the pirates? I mean Hook and Tiger Lily are kind of implied be a thing so it doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility. I just think it would be interesting because reader wouldn’t know anything but Neverland, so a lot of Peter’s usual tactics wouldn’t work."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/n - AHHH!!! Gurlll! I love detailed requests so like keep it coming please! LoL 😂
Anyways when you said the reader would have a more trickster/chaotic personality- I pictured them being the child of Tiger Lilly more then Hook since Hook wasn't too wild in the show.
(Mind you, I haven't met Tiger Lilly yet in the show yet... I don't even know if she will make an appearance but let's just pretend she's an adult... if she isn't already... 😳😅)

A/n - Sorry in advance about Tiger Lilly and Hook's relationship... I've only made it to season 4 of the show so far. 😭 Also, I added a few things to this that weren't technically in the show just to cover up some plot holes... So again, sorry if this doesn't make sense entirely.
(All I know is that Tiger Lilly is a fairy??? And that she's Hook's ex... SO, WE ARE RUNNING WITH THAT!)

***Narrator's Pov***
You never thought you'd see the day when your lips touched his...
He was your enemy! Or at least your father's enemy.
You were the offspring of Captain Hook and Tiger Lilly. All you've ever known was Neverland, and whose fault was it? That's right, it's all because of Peter Pan. The boy you kissed.
Your father hated him for so many reasons, but the main one was because he wouldn't let them leave. You weren't entirely sure why; Peter hated your father... So why not let them leave?
Personally, to you, you didn't want to leave. You loved Neverland. You considered it your home even though your father never thought of it that way. He'd always say things like-
"Neverland isn't a place; it's a cage! It's dangerous!"
What he didn't know was that you were a part of it... You grew to be a part of it.
Ever since you were little, he would tell you never to leave the Jolly Roger. That it's too dangerous for a little girl. He wasn't a horrible man, though. He was a great dad who taught you all you knew. But even he couldn't stop your curiosity.
You loved swinging from vine to vine. Traveling all around Neverland, fooling those who were foolish enough to listen to you. You loved playing tricks on people, especially the newcomers. And you couldn't help but laugh every time you saw someone drowning from a mermaid... it was such a foolish way to die. They were basically asking for it.
However, your father was never a big fan of your chaotic behavior. Because one, he was worried that you'd stubble into Pan and get yourself killed. And two, he would always fall for it every time, even when he thinks he hasn't, he has.
But he still didn't understand that you weren't afraid of Pan. That he already tried getting rid of you, and it always failed. You were more than capable of handling yourself. You're 16, after all.
[Flash Back to the Beginning of the Day]
***Y/n's Pov***
I escaped that floating rock on the sea once again. No matter how many times I tell my father Neverland isn't dangerous... he never listens but that doesn't matter.
By now, I knew every nick and corner of that boat. It isn't hard to escape it.
I grabbed on to a tree branch and pulled myself up.
It's a blessing and a curse knowing my father fears this place. A blessing because once I escape his wretched boat, he won't follow me... at least not necessarily. He tries but he never finds me.
It's like he never learns...
Though it's a curse cause when I return 'home,' he locks me up and grounds me. I've been grounded so many times it doesn't even affect me anymore. But that's that.
I grabbed onto a peach and started nibbling on the fruit when I heard something...
A smirk grew on my face.
"Hello, Pan~"
"Ha... I knew I'd find you here." He leans against my tree. "What's up with you and this peach tree anyways? I can always find you eating one...?
"Peach trees produce bitter fruits when they're stressed. I like the bitterness; that's why I use this tree for target practice." I touched the holes in the tree, the ones that were marked by my own arrows.
Peter just laughed as he stood up. "Now what?"
I scrunched my eyes at me questioningly. "What do mean?" I asked as I bit down on the peach once more.
"Well, there's always something with you." He arched his eyebrow and made that face he always makes again as he got closer. "No matter how many times I try, the harder I try, I can never get rid of you."
He grabbed a small twig from my tree, breaking it off. He swung it around for a bit, then poked me with it.
I backed up. "What will you do next?" He said in that smooth voice of his. He tilted his head. I could feel the twig pushing my chin up. I looked at him in the eye as he smirked.
Then quickly I moved, grabbing the arrow before it hit him. It was so close to his face, barely touching his nose. He smirked and dropped the twig.
"No nightshade? You aren't getting soft on me now, are you Pan?" I giggled as I stabbed my tree. "You can come out now, Felix!" I yelled.
"H-how did... I did everything right, so how did you dodge that?!" He asked as he climbed up, sitting on the big branch we all stood on.
"Simple, Pan made it obvious." That clearly irked him, and I only giggled at his reaction as I continued to carve my tree.
Do understand that Peter is my enemy and that won't change. He and I always had a strange relationship from the very beginning. At first, we simply hated each other but soon enough we grew close.
Enemies to lovers, you can say... just not with the lovey part. However, I have a feeling that Felix may feel something a little more nowadays.
It's whatever... it's fun, honestly.
Peter then did something I didn't expect. Mind you I still had my back behind them- he grabbed my wrist, twisting me around to face them and then he pinned me.
I looked at him up and down questioningly and then side-eyed Felix.
"What are you two- Uhm!" He kissed me! I, the offspring of Captain Hook, touched tongues with PETER PAN!
I could still feel his breath as he said, "Wouldn't it be a shame if your father never saw you again?" He mutters. His nose was still touching mine, and his eyes were deeply lost. I could see a tint of red spackling in it. Clearly, something was growing within him... something deep, bloody, and very passionate. I didn't know at the time...
I didn't even know what to say... Peter was pinning me against my own tree, and Felix was hovering over me... smiling. It was different, darker. His hoody covered his eyes. But I knew he had that red spark in it too.
Peter then kissed me again. Slowly and deeply. Call me crazy, but I kissed back this time. And Felix kissed me right after... I knew I was right about his feelings.
One thing's for sure, I didn't go home that night... or any other night for that matter.
A/n
I actually really like this one, and I might even make a part 2... Though I really hope I captured everything that you wanted!
And sorry for the long wait. 😅
