Summary
“Pencil me in, but no countin’ rounds.”
It’s what V told him that day on the beach while Kovachek’s yacht burned and sank into the bay.
Kerry had never been very good at following instructions though. So he counted.

Summary
Post The Tower Ending: 2080
It’s been three years since Johnny’s engram was ripped from V’s head and his body was stripped of his heavy chrome. One year since V woke from the surgery induced coma.He’s still alive—somehow. But his body is different, always hurting, nothing like the sleek-powered frame that once tore through Night City. Everyone he knew has moved on.
His friends who drifted, the fixers who stopped calling, even Kerry, who answered V’s one phone call with vague promises of help—then disappeared back into his tour and his fame.
Now, V wakes up each day in a too-quiet apartment and goes to work at the Afterlife as a bartender, learning how to live as a normal person.
And as for how Kerry has been all these years? Well, he makes music, he sells out stadiums and copes however he can. With whoever he can.
Ultimately it’s a poorly timed message and fate that decides it isn’t done with them yet, and throws them back together with all the subtlety of a car crash. Will they take this second chance?

V had a lot of shiny toys. He took good care of them, too. Had them all cleaned and snug in their place in his tack room. He didn’t let anyone else touch them. Didn’t let them even get close enough to try.
So when Kerry easily slipped his gun out of his holster while they were on the couch, making out, he couldn’t help but buck his hips into the silver-haired man’s thigh.Prompt: Gun Play

Summary
Two vinyl men meeting in a digital world. The needle falls, and the record starts to play. But it's always a little awkward to start with the B-side. Even if it's the better track, it's got a little more edge and grit to it than the A-side usually does. People might even wonder what the fuck it is they're listening to.
You're not supposed to love the B-side more than the A-side.
