    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.
    (If you told me I'd be stanning Johnny Silverhand and writing fanfic about Cyberpunk 2077 six months ago I would have laughed in your face. I am a clown. honk honk)

    Really? You're just gonna avoid me? Of course you would, you fucking coward.
    Here's a bit of advice for you, Johnny. Enjoy your new lease on life. 'Cause it's not gonna last long. I'm serious.
    Believe me when I say I'm going to find you, you fucking psychopath - wherever you're hiding. And when I do, I'm gonna rip V out of your head. Don't ask me how, but so far I'm counting on sheer will.
    You know what you are, Johnny? A parasite. A fucking tapeworm! You hear me?! Enjoy the little time you have left.

    Summary

    “Indulge me for a sec,” V says and tips her chin up to blow a long plume of smoke. It turns blue in the light of the hologram above her. She rests her optics back onto him. “What would happen if someone on that dance floor turned their chromed-out face towards us?”

    “They’d see an unlikely pair having a mutually agreeable conversation,” he says and enjoys another luxuriously slow pull of his cigarette. V waits patiently for him to continue, optics whirring. “For the time being, at least.”

    This is not a second chance at life.

    This is a sick fucking joke.

    Second chances don’t come for sad sack washed up rockerboys like him. He destroys everything he touches, and V is definitely no exception to his corrosion.

    Bit by bit, byte by byte, he is the poison slowly dragging her down with him.

    Summary

    "You’ve been acting like a prick all evening. What’s crawled up your ass?"
    Johnny barked out a laugh. “You should be more concerned with what’s trying to crawl up yours.”
    If it weren’t for the pain in her head, V would have rolled her eyes.
    "That’s what this is? You’re mad about River, is that it? What are you, jealous?"

    Summary

    "I know it gets confusing for you sometimes, old man, but I'm not actually a vehicle," she'd told him mentally, looking up and pressing her lips into a thin line. "Don't need my oil checked, or for someone to take me for a ride, or for someone to polish my fucking bumpers."

    "Now there's a metaphor," he'd smirked, winking down his aviators at her. "A shame, V."

    Summary

    “And - you don’t have to admit this one, it’s fine - but while you need a hard, cold, bulletproof exterior…” the fixer readjusted himself ever so slightly, knee bumping hers, “you’re a girl who wants to sit on a sexy, warm seat.”

     

     

    Oh fuck.

     

     

    V was about to cross a boundary - one there’d be no returning from.
    But in her defense, she was receiving an invitation to do so. On a silver platter.

    V steadied herself, and then her curiosity continued.

    “You offering one?”

    In the shadows of the backseat, Muamar smirked. He seemed pleased with her newfound proximity.

    “Does her majesty wish to try a different kind of ride?”

    V's getting really sick of finding herself flatlined and back at the beginning.

    At least she's got Johnny with her, even if his ideas for breaking the loop are unorthodox, to say the least.
