Summary
The main flaw she could see in V’s plan was that it would be big, messy, and about as subtle as a brick to the face.
Hey Jude, Chapter 12Set after the 'Temperance' ending. Judy is lost and confused when V disappears. In their last conversation, V said she thought she might have a way to solve the problem of the chip in her head - and then nothing. Judy is desperate to know whether V has ghosted her, is in trouble, or worse. What she doesn't understand at first is that the answer has been in front of her all along. Unfortunately, when she finally realises, it only raises yet more questions.

Summary
V enters Mikoshi, but she does not exit.
Johnny is running out of time to find her. The moment he offhandedly commented on the fate of every runner being that they would fry themselves in their own chair was weighing on him heavily every day. Particularly now that two of the best Netrunners he has ever known are unreachable beyond the Blackwall, and trying to find V is like searching for a digitised needle in a virtual haystack.
He was not wrong, every Netrunner eventually took it too far, burned too bright, and then they were gone. Even Alt.
But this time, he needs to be wrong about V.

Summary
Let us go then, you and I.
She stepped over bodies upon bodies, trailed blood across the pristine, lab-white floors just to reach this point. Alt had done her part and then some. Maybe too much. No one killed Corpos quite like rogue AIs.
Then again, no one killed Corpos quite like V.
“Johnny sends his regards.”
--
After her trip to Dogtown, V's anxious to gain back control over her rapidly shortening life. Reluctant to lose anyone else she cares about, V decides maybe the key to her and Johnny's survival was the very thing she encountered at NCX.

Summary
This is a sequel to Phantom Recoil.
A mysterious string-puller sets two megacorps on a collision course. The Phantom Thieves get involved after a friend is targeted, and Ren finds himself navigating synaptic editing tech, infiltration ops, and compromised communications. As loyalties shift and memory itself becomes a weapon, the team works to identify the real threat before the next attack hits.
Series Note: The idea for these stories came from a forum thread in which Persona fans were discussing the next game in the series. Some people said they were sick of the high school scene, and wanted to see more adult Persona characters. Curious, I started imagining what the characters of P3-5 might be like 15-20 years later in a Japanese cyberpunk setting.

Summary
Frieren never does mean for her detours to get this out of hand...
In this case, she's quite possibly out of her league. The world is steel and glass. People use magic that she can't detect or see, and enhance themselves with metal and bolts. The sky is blotted out by holograms of false lights and blackened smog, and any connection to mana is stifled.
This world doesn't want her.
But Frieren is stuck. The Monument trapped her here, and now she must get back.
