Summary
River’s face is full of warmth. Johnny feels it, the warmth of his gaze, the smile, the coldness of his beer in hand, the yelling of the kids in the background. Fuck, he thinks, this is kind of idyllic.
Johnny falls in love.

Summary
He learns early on that there are different versions of her depending on the situation. Some are obvious. V with a drop of someone else’s blood smeared on her cheek. Valerie asleep in his bed, rolled up into a ball with her mouth slightly open. There’s a third he’s been noticing, someone he can’t name, more brash than V, less open than Valerie. Less comfortable than Valerie and more reckless than V. Rude, almost.
When she comes to his house and sits on the porch with her legs up on the table and a lit cigarette dangling from her lips, he knows that mysterious third is here but he doesn’t know what to call it.

Summary
Johnny Silverhand’s list of regrets is so long, the printout of it would unroll the distance from here to the swampsuck formerly known as Florida and still have miles leftover for toilet paper. Yeah, that thing with Alt’s one of ‘em. The time when he made EezyBeef of a merc’s face against her apartment window—that’s another. Fuck-up after fuck-up after fuck-up. Story of his fucked-up lives.
Well, here’s a fresh one for ya. Instant chart-topper, this, just like each of his singles. For once, it isn’t an Arasaka pulling the strings—no, he’s the dumbass who decided to drink in this Heywood dive tonight.
Or: Two legs of a love triangle walk into a bar...and one of 'em winds up throwing a punch-line.

Summary
He exhales, shifting, visibly as on edge as V feels right now. Fuck, she’s getting a little worked up by so much as the proposition, which is… confusing. “You’re still going, which gets me going, which puts us both in a fuckin’--”
“Feedback loop,” V concludes. Fuck. He’s got a point. An actual, legitimate point.
---
In which V and Johnny look for convenience and find something deep, confusing, and potentially tragic.
