Summary
A month after V sold her soul to Arasaka, all she’s felt is the weight of guilt and shame. Most of her former crew can’t stand the sight of her, and the only thing she has left is her role as Hanako Arasaka’s personal monster. Ever since the operation that ripped Johnny Silverhand’s construct out of her head, she’s been slipping; her control, her sanity, even her own body turning against her as Arasaka’s military-grade chrome pushes her toward the edge. Her clock is ticking, her flesh and metal both tightening like a noose. Ahead of her lies only two paths: fade quietly, or burn out in a blaze of glory.

Summary
"All our times have come
Here, but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the Reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain
Come on, baby
(Don't fear the Reaper)"This fic follows my V's story after The Sun / (Don't Fear) The Reaper ending of Cyberpunk 2077 and the King of Wands path of Phantom Liberty, (so be aware of spoilers concerning these paths as well as the game as a whole!) in a series of snippets from his post-canon storyline and life, as well as a possible fix-it ending chapter along my fanon timeline shenanigans. Included in this fic will be some canon-typical violence, sex, references to/ talked about suicidal thoughts/death, and some substance use.

Summary
V has managed to remove Johnny's construct from her mind with Panam and the Aldecados help but is living on borrowed time and both her and Judy know it. Additionally the risk of Vs health rapidly degrading due to the remainder of the relic was imminent.
They have been dating for a few months and now live together at Judys after V gave up her apartments following the events at the Mikoshi assault and in preparation for the worst. While she could have gone with Panam, V instead decided to tie up a few loose ends in NC. But hopes that her and Judy can join up with the Aldecados for a bit before her time ends.
Panam and the Aldecados are out searching for help to try and save V but there's been no progress after 2 months.
While still in NC Judy has been helping V as an intel collector on some of her gigs, until one gig takes a bad turn and injures V. Judy takes care of her but things are not easy. They work their way through testing times hoping to come out stronger together.
--OR--
My own version of an ending to the game using some aspects of the Star ending but with an added self-made arc in between V leaving Mikoshi with 6 months to live and her and Judy joining up with the Aldecados.

A Corpo-Rat With His Soul Still Intact? More Common Than You Think by MadameDecay
Fandoms: Cyberpunk 2077 (Video Game)
26 Dec 2025

Summary
They say the corpo-life is soul-crushing. They're right, but some manage to get out of that life with their soul intact. Xenji, or Xen, Shimada is one such case. He didn't leave the corpo life voluntarily, but he would rather set himself on fire than go back to that life. An artist using merc work to fund his real passion, Xen thought things were looking up...until they weren't. His detective brother gets murdered by his own partner and the Tyger Claws. Xen wants revenge, but a botched heist that would have funded said revenge leaves him with no team and a relic stuck in his head that is slowly killing him. Along the way, Xen finds comfort in the arms of fixer Dino Dinovic, and eventually Kerry Eurodyne. He finds a comrade in detective River Ward, the badge reminding him of his brother, and new friends who prove that not everyone in Night City is out for themselves.
This is Xen's journey. Buckle up and bring your barf bags. The ride may get bumpy.

Summary
Rising legend and most requested merc in all of Night City, V has accepted that the number of months she has left to live can now be counted on one hand. Minus a couple of fingers.
So, she’s got a plan: blaze her way into legend, earn her spot on the Afterlife menu, and go out with a bang.
(Figuratively, of course. Johnny actually needs the body burns-free after.)But Night City’s fixers have other ideas.
Because while letting your best merc die is usually bad for business… Letting V go?
Turns out that’s just not an option.--------------
Or: V is a stubborn gonk but she is also NC’s fixers' favorite gonk.

Summary
When V plays her game, she prowls bars and clubs looking for fresh meat to submit to her every whim. All of Night City is her hunting ground. On this night, she meets a distractingly attractive cop and her life starts to shift to orbit him. Soon enough, they uncover another predator hunting in the city and make it their mission to stop him.
This fic has some canon events and retells others in a non-canon way. It also follows a brand new storyline that sees River and V team up to solve a crucial missing person's case and do their best to take down an up-and-coming drug ring wreaking havoc across Night City's murky underbelly. Look forward to heaps of pining, yearning, smut, and thrills as events progress.

Summary
Some nights in Night City are about breaking data, and some are about breaking emotional barriers. A shard was supposed to be the focus of their meeting, but as V works to crack the data River Ward desperately needs, the heat between them eclipses the neon glare of Night City. The patrol car becomes a confessional, a pressure cooker where weeks of sexual tension finally shatter.
