Summary
“You died, Valerie. End of story. Nothin' left to say.”
Four months left. That’s all the time V’s got before she flatlines. Out of options, she looks to the sky. She takes a final job, courtesy of Mr. Blue Eyes. The payout? Astronomical. The risk? Terminal. She thinks she’s got nothing left to lose. She’s wrong. By year’s end, V is dead.
But that’s not how things work in Night City. Legends don’t die, they reboot.
A backup, an older version of her mind, is uploaded into her body. She wakes up disoriented in a hotel room where a promise was once made to her. And Johnny Silverhand? Not an engram. Not a voice in her head. He’s real. Right there in the room when she awakens, a lot can happen in a year—even bringing back dead rockerboys.
—
Or, a post-canon Sun Ending fic. Johnny gets a third chance at life, only for V to die exactly one year after the heist that should have killed her the first time. Now she's back, and it's her turn to pick up the pieces of the life she left behind.
