BEGAN as content about my book series inspired by The Lost Boys. Book One is Wishful Sinful. Fanfic hijinks and fandom fun ensued. Still post original works. I maintain David and the boys sparkle on the *inside* per glittery vamp blood post-staking-Marko (RIP Marko, and his wannabe hairband mates). I LOVE all things sparkly. Lost Boys, included.

An earlier version of this poem appeared in my self-published collection, Shadow Flow: Seasons of Love & Loss. I revised it and minimized the list of items placed in the summoning circle to the magic 3, fleshed out in rich description.
The edits came after I had a social media "memory" of a meme prompt.
the way doing this in costume makes it look like they’re doing couple’s counseling on live tv or even like someone is gonna come out and say david you ARE the father
Someone asked me in a threaded reply on one of my puppies fic posts, what I had in mind for the other 6 possible future fic plots I mentioned, in passing. Not saying I will necessarily hit ALL of these... But I'm going to organize that response a little more clearly, here, if anyone else might enjoy seeing what I'd come up with, so far... (and add visuals, because I am a very visual person).
List below the cut:
1) Star as a femme fatale, possibly secretly the head vampire, but no one knows this but David... and it was her pulling the strings all along, luring Michael.
2) No canon divergence. The guys post-final-scene arrive in the Underworld and try to take over. Seducing Hades and/or Persephone, or attempting to.
3) I had several hypothetical contexts for songs on playlists I created for the major characters (Star, Michael, and the boys). Scenarios where the seemingly out of place tracks would fit. I have notes on those, as possible one-shots. (example: Star hyping herself up to get ready and go out, with "Crush with Eyeliner" by REM, or David listening to "Devil's Night" by Johnny Hollow, and visualizing himself as an avenging angel or something). Though the playlists aren't restricted to the era of the movie, so some of those scenes, if done chronologically correct, would occur later in time.
4) Something combining TLB/Dark City/Labyrinth. A city surrounded by a maze, where it's always night. The boys live in a castle at the center, with David ruling. Somehow tricking people into entering their dimension. Manipulating them into forgetting their former lives, by magical means, shuffling their memories at night, like in Dark City.
5) A crossover with the Jason Patric movie Rush, where Michael became an undercover narc, trying to prove he's still "the good guy," having NEARLY killed David and successfully killing Max (he missed David's heart in this version, or else horns don't count as a stake). Like Patric's character in Rush, Michael becomes addicted to hard drugs. David's been keeping tabs and appears to him, saving his life. Michael thinks he's hallucinating. Does he ever figure out it was real? Maybe, maybe not.
6)Lastly, continuing my Supernatural/Lost Boys crossover, with a hellhound shifter who comes looking for David ten years after he seduced a crossroads demon, instead of offering the soul he doesn't have, to make sure Michael became his. The hellhound shifter guy either didn't get the memo that David's undead, or else David thinks the deal was bogus because Michael still tried to kill him. Sure, they got past it, but damn. WTF kinda love spell is that?! But the demon still expects another night with David, per their every 10 years arrangement.
(Hellhound image from a DnD wiki... don't know that they would actually look like that in the fic, but it's a fun pic, right?)

Having suspected Michael's visit with his mother might not end well, David blocked Michael from pack telepathic communication just long enough to conspire with the others. He sent them on a 'secret mission,' while he and Michael cuddled, right up until Michael decided he was as ready as he'd get.
And all those surprises were waiting for them, when they returned.
This is what I decided might have been playing on the boombox. Mellow music picked up, specifically, to help bring Michael down from any possible state of crisis:

After Paul concluded Michael should avoid feeding from the intoxicated, Michael's hound blissfully leads them to a real dive, and a straight-edge racist POS in the alley, on the verge of committing what looks like a hate crime. And the "dive bar," they discover, isn't truly a bar at all, but a clubhouse for those awful thugs. In other words, an all-you-can-eat buffet.
I can’t watch this movie normal anymore . What do you mean that man is the one multiple people posting about being a pregnant dog? What do you mean that blonde man is the father? What do you mean none of that’s canon? What the fuck is happening
I made the mistake of rereading this post while taking a swig of ice water. WHEW DAMN. Laughed all over again so hard I started choking. Yeah, I can only imagine how the movie will feel to me after all of this. 🤣But the story's becoming surprisingly emotional. Michael plans to confront his mom. Because, motherhood. Bonding. Buuuuut... I can't see that exactly ending well. At least, not in the beginning. Maybe they'll work it out, in time.
