A ficlet for the 2021 CS Halloweek Day 1 Prompt - witch in the woods
“If it’s aid of a magical sort ye seek, then you’ll be wanting to find the witch in the woods.”
That’s what the apothecary had told him. The witch in the woods. A designation that brought forth images of an old crone, hump-backed and wrinkled with warts on her nose and long spindling fingers whose knuckles were gnarled and stiff - not the blonde goddess currently grinding an assortment of herbs with her mortar and pestle, her brilliant jade eyes sparkling in the candlelight that was also casting a honeyed glow over her smooth, creamy skin.

Summary
Phantom Liberty spoilers!
Ever since V got her miracle cure in a secret FIA lab, her days have been nothing but grey. She works long hours at a junk stall so that she can make rent and spend the rest of her hours staring at her ceiling. Today is just like every other day for the past year, bland and full of shifting faceless crowds.
As V is eyeing the crowd, she spots him.
He’s got light skin, short and curly blonde hair, leather jacket and dark jeans on, and is probably shorter than she is — but that’s not what V notices. V notices the way he walks, not like he owns the place but like it’s still standing by his grace. She notices the scowl on his face, the way it twists his lips. She notices the way he holds his shoulders, like his left arm is heavy, despite clearly having modern, symmetrical chrome. She knows him instantly, like she knows her own self.
It’s Johnny motherfucking Silverhand.

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
“You shouldn't be here.” Kerry says, finally.
“Couldn’t agree more.”
Kerry rubs the bridge of his nose. Sighs, real deep. “This is fucked. Y'know, Rogue said you took V’s body. I didn't buy it. Thought you were better than that.”
Or
Johnny returns to the city post temperance to settle things with Kerry. Or at least, to try his damnedest to.

Summary
“Johnny doesn’t believe in soul mates. What he does believe is that their engrams would know each other anywhere. They’re written into each other’s code now. Digital souls tied together.”
One year after destroying Mikoshi and Arasaka. One year after taking that leap beyond the Blackwall together.
V and Johnny wake up in bodies that aren’t their own, in a city that hasn’t changed all that much. Familiar faces and familiar struggles quickly push them into another race against time.This is a post-canon sequel to Last of a Dying Breed and will make a lot more sense if read after that. You don’t need to have read the other two side stories in the series.
