The Boy Who Kept Me Sane by Sh00kspeared

Summary
The year is 1992. Sold by his father for a single pack of cigarettes at the age of four, the sensitive yet rebellious Robbie John Linder is quickly taken in by a family of nomads known as the Aldecaldos. During his time on the road, he quickly bonds with Barrett Nauman, a smart and free spirited boy, and the two quickly become inseparable. As the years wear on, Robbie learns to navigate the fledgling Coronado City (a place which will soon come to be known as Night City) - he faces street gangs, bullying, and the pains of growing up, Barrett by his side the whole way. However, as the pressure mounts for him to grow into the legend that Coronado City so often encourages its people to be, he quickly learns that becoming a legend comes at a very, very high cost - but is it one that he is willing to pay?
In other words- this is my attempt to detail Johnny's entire childhood as well as explain why he is the way he is during the game. Enjoy!

Summary
V did it. She stormed the castle, destroyed Mikoshi, made it back out alive... Hell, she even wrangled Johnny back from the dead. She got everything she could have wanted. Everything except for a real goddamn cure.
A six-month countdown, a dying woman desperate to save her own life, a rockerboy relearning what it means to be a real person again, and two halves of the same mind split back into bodies that aren't sure they wanted to be separated.
Then the clock runs out.
-----
AKA a fic that was intended to be all cuddles and curing both V and Johnny's chronic touch starvation but ended up also becoming Johnny Silverhand and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Four Months because I like to put that old man in Situations <3

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
A new ending, though maybe not a happier one.
In the bowels of Arasaka Tower, Rogue and V find Johnny, the real one, alive.
V might as well be erased from the Silverhand story, she's just an inconsistent stain in his bittersweet reunion with the future.
...Alongside the engram she will do everything to protect.

Summary
They did it. V and Johnny make it to Mikoshi so that Alt can finally separate them. Instead of waking up a legend, V wakes up in her old bed in her old apartment recovering from the aftermath of Konpeki.
V and Johnny are back to square one but with the knowledge of everything they did last time. Maybe they can get through their predicament without gonking it up this time. Only problem is now they can touch each other and they can’t seem to keep their hands to themselves.
Armed with the knowledge of the past, they try to do it better this time. Until time resets. Again. And Again.

Death on the Enavuris by virshiral

Summary
‘Yes,' Solas says quietly. 'I believe that everyone on this boat has a secret.'
Felassan raises an eyebrow. ‘Even you?’
Solas looks out across the river, and for a moment he is dizzy with the way the waves beckon him, the little lies they tell in every shift of the tide. He should deny it, but he finds that he cannot.
‘Most especially me,' he says heavily.Solas is a famous detective with a troubled history dating back to the wars that destroyed his homeland. When he embarks on a cruise along the Enavuris River to pursue a lead in his most recent case, he encounters a passionate love triangle which comes to a fatal end.
Complicating the tragedy is the fact that the victim Justinia, heiress to the Chantry fortune, was murdered with Solas’ own gun. And then there’s the problem of his extremely inconvenient attraction to the prime suspect, Jacqueline Lavellan.
As the cruise continues through the wilderness, rapidly approaching the Veil that separates the south of Thedas from the mysterious north, Solas races to uncover the truth before the killer can strike again.

Summary
V found herself on the roof, with Johnny sitting by her side. Their gaze was fixated on the luminescent glow of the Secure Your Soul advertisement in the towering building before them.
"So, what will it be?" Johnny's voice broke the silence. After everything they went through, V was able to notice the small jitters of anxiousness as he waited for her decision.
But V doesn't remember the answer she gave. Instead, she found herself jolted awake in her former apartemnt - her very old apartment, one she had while working for Arasaka's counterintelligence.
Was it all just a dream? A warning? An opportunity?
or
It's sort of "time-travel" I guess (??). I wanted to play with the idea of fixing shit to get a happier ending for our V.
*PLEASE READ THE FIRST CHAPTER BEFORE DIVING IN!*

Summary
He catches sight of V in a window, glaring down accusingly at him. “Don’t look at me like that,” he tells her, but her expression doesn’t change, ‘cause he’s the one making it.
It hits him, then. This is it. He’s gonna wake up every day to that reproachful stare, spend every moment of the time he has left wrapped in a living reminder of his greatest failure; the promise he couldn’t keep.
Something cloying and sharp surges up inside him and he breaks her gaze, ducks into a grimy alcove behind a set of concrete stairs. Doubled over, braced against the wall, his head spins as breath catches in his lungs, choking; suffocating.
“Oh, V,” he gasps. “The hell am I supposed to do?”
There’s no answer, of course. Johnny’s alone.--
Johnny wakes up in V's body and struggles to come to terms. It certainly doesn't help that elements of her old life keep getting thrown at him, no matter how hard he tries to make a clean break.
A fic bridging the gap between the game's climax and the Temperance ending.

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
The thing about digital souls is... they can be copied. What will V do when she has to deal with TWO Johnnys? (Especially since one of them has found a sexy new body.) And more importantly, is it really murder if you're trying to strangle an obnoxious duplicate of yourself, using someone else's body?

Summary
CONCLAVE CHAOS: ANDRASTE'S ASHES DESTROYED BY DALISH APOSTATE!
Tragedy at the Temple of Sacred Ashes! All those in attendance for peace talks or pilgrimage - apostates and innocent faithful alike - were killed in an explosion that tore the very Veil with its violence. The Divine has been assassinated, our Lady's resting place obliterated by foul magic, and the bloodshed has unleashed demons across Thedas.
A Dalish elf was found at the scene of the attack, wielding the same magic that desecrated the Temple. Through valiant efforts of the faithful at Haven, she was compelled to mitigate some of her vile act, and the Breach in the Veil was prevented from expanding.
However, in grim news, the prisoner has escaped custody, aided by some sort of cult. Blood magic is not suspected, but cannot be ruled out - the prisoner is to be considered highly dangerous. Pursuit is ongoing. We keep faith that justice will be served.

Summary
V has always been a bit of a lone wolf.
Sure, she makes friends easily. Picks up strays, as Jackie would say. She’s friendly with all the fixers, knows the important people. But she’s always ended the day alone. Always done her gigs with no one to watch her back. Sometimes fell into a lustful haze with a willing body, but always woken up to a cold mattress and an empty home.
It's all different now.
***
A fix-it of sorts, with a healthy serving of smut, angst, and of course, a HEA.

Summary
Linked psyches. That was Alt's solution for them. Two bodies -- their own bodies. But souls and minds still intertwined -- feeling each other's pain and emotions. Never too far away, never far behind.
There could never be one without the other.
Disclaimer: Characters and in-game storylines are owned by PROJEKT RED. OC V (Vixen Volkov) is my own creation, based loosely on V in-game’s personality.

Summary
V enters Mikoshi, but she does not exit.
Johnny is running out of time to find her. The moment he offhandedly commented on the fate of every runner being that they would fry themselves in their own chair was weighing on him heavily every day. Particularly now that two of the best Netrunners he has ever known are unreachable beyond the Blackwall, and trying to find V is like searching for a digitised needle in a virtual haystack.
He was not wrong, every Netrunner eventually took it too far, burned too bright, and then they were gone. Even Alt.
But this time, he needs to be wrong about V.

Summary
Maybe the worst part of having to share your body with another sentient and (allegedly) intelligent mind, she’d discovered, is that you share everything, even emotions. The worst thing about having Johnny Silverhand specifically in your mind is that the fucker never knows exactly what emotions he’s feeling, and usually denies feeling anything at all.
Johnny has never been one to shy away from naming the elephant in the room, as much as V would prefer he didn’t. After all, she is forced to sort through the sordid details of his stupidly complex emotions without complaint, so the least he can do is not point out that she’s a sexual being just to piss her off.

Summary
When Viktor finally asks why Jayce stayed behind inside the Anomaly with him, Jayce stares at him as though he’s supremely disappointed by the question— as if Viktor has betrayed his own brilliance by asking something so irredeemably stupid. “How could I not? We’re partners.”
Partners, Jayce calls them. Not for the first time, Viktor wonders: Partners in what?
*
Or: Jayce and Viktor survive the Hexcore, a blizzard, their own bodies, sharing a bed and all the things they’re too afraid to say. Slowly, they put themselves back together— piece by stubborn piece.
