    Summary

    V is a born and bred son of Heywood, having spent most of his life in Night City, save for a short and rather unfortunate stint in Atlanta. So it’s really no surprise that he’d get involved with someone like Rita Wheeler, the prime bruiser at Lizzie’s.

    Always on the lookout for the next job that could propel him into the Big Leagues, V’s ambitions need to be put on hold when his sister, Gloria gets into trouble and he suddenly ends up being a sort-of-mentor to his nephew, David.

    Summary

    NB: I have crossposted this story to Royalroad under the title System Override.

     

    A forced experimental drug treatment at an early age has saddled David with an immense burden.

    His mother’s insistence on his current lifepath as a corpo has done much the same.

    David is a speeding ball of fire hurtling towards an unknown destination, and his mother’s death has left him adrift and unsure of his direction.

    So he does what any teenager with no more fucks left to give does—he chips in some mil-spec chrome and looks for a quick way to earn edds, all the while learning to utilize the nanotechnology that had been forced on him as a child—finding out the immense potential within him as a result.

    Corpo or Edgerunner? Why not both? And why not the best of both while we’re fucking at it?

    Top of Arasaka Tower.

    Night City Legend.

     

    God.

    Summary

    Lucyna Kushinada never knew her family—she’d been too young when Arasaka took her from them—and had never bothered to worry about it.

    So when her past comes knocking in the form of a jackass that saves her life, she begins to consider a future that used to seem impossible.

    This world is dark and unrelenting in its brutality: Sinister forces plot in the shadows, monolithic corporate towers blot out the sun, streetscum litter every corner, and deranged cyberpsychos kill for fun. Yet, you can still fight for the future you want, even if there’s only a fleeting chance of victory.

    Alongside the crew, some new friends, and a goofy, adorable, gonk punk she met on the NCART a while ago, Lucy starts to uncover her origins and realizes they have one hell of a journey ahead of them. One that will go much farther than Night City, and show them how big the world really is. It won’t be easy, but that makes it all the more worthwhile.

    After all, what’s wrong with following your dreams?

    (Diverges from canon at the end of Episode 8 of the anime, has eventual overlap with Cyberpunk 2077, and uses a lot of lore from the Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk RED Rulebooks/Sourcebooks)

    Summary

    "Job's gonna kill you."

    V could not ask for more. An Arasaka counterintelligence agent with above average salary, a roof under his head, corporate privileges to use to solve problems and himself for self indulgence. V was given an assignment to assassinate his boss's rival.

    What can go wrong? But at what cost? Does he get a pat on the head with promotion?

    Night City is a great place not to come.
