    Summary

    -- I welcome any and all constructive feedback! I probably need it --

    V is an average mercenary with average-mercenary problems. Well... mostly.
    Some things can break a person, and some people are already broken.

    There's no way to tell how much of yourself you can take losing until it's gone- that's the real danger behind surviving in this world.
    Johnny Silverhand already knows that. But is it too late for V?

    Meant to be sort of like a DLC questline that has new potential endings (the fic will only have one) and a romance-Johnny option, but with enough bite to scratch that I-didn't-get-to-play-this itch.

    Centered around the transmasc mercenary V and his reluctant digital companion. Story revolves around themes of moral ambiguity, survival under violent and oppressive systems, romance developed under strain and through shared trauma.

    Plans for future chapters: they're happening.

    Slow-Burn Romance, Psychological/Sensory, Light Action-Thriller, Drama, Neo-Noir, Maximalist Prose, Glittergrit, Cyberpunk (ofc)

    (Links to music after each part are entirely optional, there's no pressure to listen at all- just for fun.)
