Summary
The year is 1992. Sold by his father for a single pack of cigarettes at the age of four, the sensitive yet rebellious Robbie John Linder is quickly taken in by a family of nomads known as the Aldecaldos. During his time on the road, he quickly bonds with Barrett Nauman, a smart and free spirited boy, and the two quickly become inseparable. As the years wear on, Robbie learns to navigate the fledgling Coronado City (a place which will soon come to be known as Night City) - he faces street gangs, bullying, and the pains of growing up, Barrett by his side the whole way. However, as the pressure mounts for him to grow into the legend that Coronado City so often encourages its people to be, he quickly learns that becoming a legend comes at a very, very high cost - but is it one that he is willing to pay?
In other words- this is my attempt to detail Johnny's entire childhood as well as explain why he is the way he is during the game. Enjoy!

Summary
Jealousy, hatred, rivalry, and sexual tension, all wrapped up between two young musicians who are supposed to be collaborating instead of having a 'Whose dick is bigger than whose?' war. Concert night was a goddamn mess, from a bashed guitar onstage to a bashed green room. It was only supposed to be one night, right?

Summary
V didn’t remember walking out of Arasaka Tower. Or crashing through whatever hell they’d called a mission. Truth was, her memory of that week was a big black void. One second, she was moving, fighting, thinking—maybe screaming—and the next, nothing. Just fragments of pain, gnawing and blunt, the kind that didn’t care about timing or logic. Bits of herself showed up in flashes: her body aching in places she didn’t even know could hurt, her head pounding with a rhythm that didn’t match any music she’d ever heard, and the occasional echo of someone screaming her name. That someone, apparently, wasn’t in the room.
V goes through the five stages of grief in a world without Johnny, but the Silverhand-shaped hole left in her heart never really heals. Then one night, when she thinks she’s finally made her uneasy peace, there’s a knock at the door.
Johnny Silverhand is standing in her doorway.

Summary
A continuation of The Star ending following Male V and Panam
V left Night City behind, chasing peace in the desert with Panam and the Aldecaldos. But the relic in his head is eating away at him, and each night something from past the Blackwall whispers louder, dragging him toward something inhuman.
Raffen gangs close in, Arasaka still hunts him, and the clan’s survival hangs on a knife’s edge. To protect the only family he’s ever known, V must face enemies both outside and within before the relic claims him completely.

Summary
Two vinyl men meeting in a digital world. The needle falls, and the record starts to play. But it's always a little awkward to start with the B-side. Even if it's the better track, it's got a little more edge and grit to it than the A-side usually does. People might even wonder what the fuck it is they're listening to.
You're not supposed to love the B-side more than the A-side.

Summary
A mercenary's life isn't all about eddies and reputation. Every target you zero, and every piece of cyberware you install, eats away at your humanity—one of the rarest things in Night City. But Valerie Hawkins, Afterlife's hardest-working merc, has found something so rare and precious that in Night City's dystopian hellscape many consider it extinct. Something, that scares Valerie to death—love. The would-be legend, who crawled back from the gates of hell, is about to face her greatest challenge yet: her broken heart, guarded by ghosts of the past.

Summary
A single is a mini-release of one track, one self-contained idea, with maybe a few iterations on top. Play long enough and you'll get plenty of 'em that either escape the confines of the albums they were on, or didn't fit on an album to begin with.
There's no leitmotifs or through-lines to be found in singles, but that doesn't mean there's less love put into making them.

She wakes up in Vik's bed, six am slanting in through the open window. It's foggy today and cold and dreary.
There's that question burning at the corner of it all: how did she get here, exactly?

Summary
Johnny and V manage the impossible: they're both alive and healthy at no immediate risk of death. Good news all around with a caveat - there are complications that come with returning from the dead.
Kerry bought up all the rights to Johnny's music and biometric data after the AHQ bombing but returning those rights turns out to be legally complicated. In short, the easiest way to do it is for them to get married with a prenup that gives Johnny his stuff back when they divorce.
Because of course they will at the end of the legally required 31 days. ... Right?

Summary
Remedy Lane follows two lost teenage girls in 2070s America.
Valerie Halloway, nicknamed “V,” drags her rage and grief through the streets of Baltimore, caught between fights, loneliness, and an abusive aunt.
Judy Alvarez, rebellious and passionate about machines, has just been released from a detention center that has left its mark on her body and mind.
When their paths cross at a university in Portland, they learn—despite their wounds—to build something new. It's a story of anger, escape, and art as survival. Another road, far from Night City and a known destiny.
It's also a way of recounting my recent experience as an IT student during three distressing years. I deal in particular with subjects I have personally experienced, and others from friends.

Summary
Helping Johnny make amends was the plan. Catching feelings was not.
As V grows closer to Kerry, the line between his own emotions and Johnny’s begins to blur. With another man’s memories in his head and another man’s past looming between them, V is left wondering whether what he feels is real—and whether Kerry is falling for him, or for Johnny all over again.

Summary
Loathe as V is to admit it, Johnny’s right. So Mi and the FIA are not to be trusted. So when Colonel Kurt Hansen approaches her during his party (the very one she crashed as gonk as it sounds) for a little intimidation sesh, V realizes she has another option to take. One that might just let her flip the tables on those who would manipulate her for their ends. And V is just desperate enough to take it. Because if she has to dig her own grave, she might as well make sure it’s a comfortable one.

Summary
A stone-cold, skillful mercenary who lived only to survive. That was who V believed she was.
But when a simple heist spirals out of control, Muamar “El Capitán” Reyes—four-time NCCC champion who vanished at the height of his career—drags her into the world of the Night City Championship Circuit. In the blink of an eye, Mercenary V becomes the #1 driver of his resurrection project: Afterlife Racing.
Now she’s learning that racing isn’t just engines and reflexes—it’s trauma, ego, buried history, and rage that can burn a circuit to ash. Especially when she's caught dead center in a decade-long rivalry between her team director and his fellow legend, Samurai Racing's Johnny Silverhand.
Can she drive to survive?

Summary
Because the Herculean burden of being human can’t be satisfied with being anything but the most heart-wrenching experience of your life. It demands empathy without any reward, forgiveness without any justice. Being human requires you to chug along and drive onwards, even when everything you are is screaming to stay behind. Being human means not only being able to accept change, but not fearing it, either.
And “human” is something Johnny Silverhand is decidedly not. Not in a straightforward sense, at least.
But if V can’t accept change, what does that make her?
