Summary
The Cyberpunk mythos is a robust, detailed archive of information explicitly designed to allow tabletop roleplaying gamemasters to create any conceivable story they might want to run. From gangs that augment their bodies and wear power armor to resemble anime mecha, to Exotics that biosculpt themselves into half-sharks and become lawyers, and everything else, there is a literal endless treasure trove of ideas for stories.
Yet, since most of them are pretty niche, it's unlikely anyone's gonna spend the time to make fully-fledged stories out of them.
So I'm going to do just that. Each chapter will be a one-shot story based on some random tidbit of lore I've read, which I shall also do my best to explain. Will this work be cohesive? I have no idea, but it will be fun, and that's all that really matters.

Summary
Lucyna Kushinada never knew her family—she’d been too young when Arasaka took her from them—and had never bothered to worry about it.
So when her past comes knocking in the form of a jackass that saves her life, she begins to consider a future that used to seem impossible.
This world is dark and unrelenting in its brutality: Sinister forces plot in the shadows, monolithic corporate towers blot out the sun, streetscum litter every corner, and deranged cyberpsychos kill for fun. Yet, you can still fight for the future you want, even if there’s only a fleeting chance of victory.
Alongside the crew, some new friends, and a goofy, adorable, gonk punk she met on the NCART a while ago, Lucy starts to uncover her origins and realizes they have one hell of a journey ahead of them. One that will go much farther than Night City, and show them how big the world really is. It won’t be easy, but that makes it all the more worthwhile.
After all, what’s wrong with following your dreams?
(Diverges from canon at the end of Episode 8 of the anime, has eventual overlap with Cyberpunk 2077, and uses a lot of lore from the Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk RED Rulebooks/Sourcebooks)

Summary
David grew up in a ruined world. It collapsed long ago when the shadow tyrants of the free world unleashed their greatest mistake, the Grimm, and had no defense when their creations turned on humanity. That's why his childhood home was a tent on the street, why he had nightmares about a boostergang shooting a dust round into his head, and why he was constantly bombarded by corporate advertisements from building-sized holographic displays.
But a small spark of hope is all one needs to change it. With interface plugs in his wrist, fantastical weapons in his grip, digital displays in his eyes, and a dream screaming in his brain, David knew what he wanted to be. He's going to take himself to the fatal Edge where only the toughest and coolest can go. Because he'll be a Huntsman.
The only problem was he needed to finish school first. Plus, he had to figure out why this pastel-haired girl kept giving him weird glances and why his heart thumped whenever she smiled.

Summary
Anger. Hate. Rage. Fury. The most powerful motivators there have ever been.
For David Martinez, there what's keeping him going. Pure, unadulterated hate toward one corporation, toward the group that has done nothing but make his life hell and tried to own the world more times than can be counted: Arasaka.
Except he's not David anymore. That name died when he got sent back to 2017 after Smasher blew his head apart.
Now? Now he's known as Shaitan. The full-borg solo with a grudge that signed up to fight for Militech when the 4th Corporate War broke out.
David grew up a student, became a punk, and then in death a legend. Now he gets to start as a legend and become the demon that haunts Saburo Arasaka's sleepless nights.

Summary
In the world of Cyberpunk, there are many tales and stories of the acts of legends, of those who accomplished legendary feats.
However, there is one that is only told in hushed whispers in rooms lit by dark candles, by those who fear the hellwalker that inspired it.
So, when Maine and David are doing a side job and meet a group of just such people, they have a pretty interesting day.
(Just a fun little idea I had when I found a neat visual reference to Doom in one of the old Cyberpunk TTRPG Books)
