Echo Burn by wqnwoos

Summary
The highway burns. The city breathes neon and smoke.
You were supposed to move the ware, get paid, and disappear. Instead, a Maelstrom ambush and a chrome-armed stranger drag you into a job that burns hotter than anything you signed up for.
In Night City, survival is a simple math: scars pay the price, and trust writes your death warrant.

Summary
Can I interest you in some post-apocalyptic changki?
It’s the distant future, hundreds of years after the events of The End. Humanity continues in disconnected mega cities, scattered across the world. Isolated from everything outside their own walls. A world irreparably damaged and practically uninhabitable.
…
Changkyun is a resident of the lower city’s crime riddled streets, worlds away from the rich and powerful ruling from above. The high-rise walkways and tops of buildings mostly invisible through the thick, polluted air. He exists on doing other people’s dirty work and chasing a feeling within himself he can’t put a name to.
Kihyun was lucky in life, studying at the government educational facility and going on to work in the bio domes at the Institute for Preservation of Human Knowledge. That is, until he makes a mistake and the sheltered life he’d curated for himself falls apart.

Summary
"I told you once, Finch. This land don't belong to you."
"It does now, McCaffrey. Ain't no claim stronger than a man who's still breathin'."
Guns cocked.
"You best walk away now, before this town has to bury another fool."
"Ain't no fool here."
I pulled at Beau's sleeve.
"What?"
"Why are they fighting?"
Beau sniffed, his hand landing on my thigh, squeezing. "That’s McCaffrey. He’s the one in the dark coat. Other one’s Finch—real son of a bitch. Tried to take his land, back in season two. McCaffrey’s just settlin’ the score now." He leaned back like he was proud of knowing that much, his voice lazy and low. "Always comes down to land or cattle in these things. Or a woman. Depends who’s worth killin’ for."
I nodded like I understood, but I didn’t really. I just liked the way he said McCaffrey, like it meant something. The smell of basil and tomatoes was infused in the air now, and I could practically taste the lasagna on my tongue. My body softened against the cushion, against the hand on my thigh, and I just let everything float past me the way water passed a rock in the river.
Beau wasn't so bad.

Summary
Sunoo’s not just drowning in debt—his identity got hijacked, and now he’s carrying the weight of crimes he never committed. Debt collectors breathing down his neck, cops knocking on his door, all because someone else screwed him over.
He’s doing everything he can to pay off what he owes, scraping by job after job. But every time he gets close to making progress, a new charge shows up. More fines, more accusations for things he didn’t do.
It’s like running from a fire while someone keeps pouring gasoline behind him.

Summary
Ten years ago, the Reapers were vanquished, the galaxy saved. Statues were raised. Obituaries written. Shepard, having died in the last moments of the war, became a hero, a legend, enshrined in memory.
Only Shepard wasn’t dead. He was hidden. Locked away for all that time.
And now, Shepard has returned, having been freed from his frozen prison.
His pursuit for answers will lead him across a changed galaxy. He knows this wasn’t an accident. Someone had a reason to put him under for those ten years, and they had the power to make the galaxy believe he was never coming back. He will stop at nothing to find the truth and take down those that wronged him and destroy the lies they’ve built. Only then will his vengeance be complete. The galaxy will soon learn how dangerous a dead man can be.
And when the last name is crossed off, he will look to the stars again. Toward the one face that’s haunted his every waking thought and pulled him forward all this time.
A voice. A memory. His lost love.
Tali'Zorah.
