FAVORITE GORO/V FIC LIST
Hi!!! I've read a LOT of Goro/V fics during my free time (which is a lot). So I'm just gonna list down my favorites for anyone who also wants to read them. I'm gonna break it down to different types of endings (happy/sad/bittersweet) bc some people would rather avoid sad endings. I'm also gonna list down unfinished/on progress fics that I like. I'll give a vague synopsis to each fic so there'll be no spoilers. I will also update it as I read new ones!
DISCLAIMER : People have different tastes and preferences. Most of the fics (actually all of them) I listed have smutty elements to them. I just love fics where it's angsty at first, then it gets better. OR it's cute at first, gets really shitty at the end. Idk I just love tragedy I guess lol. If you have any other recs, shoot me up on the replies!
Also I would like to thank the writers of these fics. You guys are all gifted and amazing.
SO HERE GOES!!!!

The Street Rat and The Samurai

It's a 13 part story. To me, this series is the best, the fluffiest Goro/V fic I've ever read. I couldn't read other fics after reading this lmao. In my head this fic is canon.

You Would Have to Lose Your Mind
https://archiveofourown.org/works/28754514
Part of a bigger series (The Cross of Truth https://archiveofourown.org/series/3197916).
Set in post-(Don't Fear) The Reaper. I cried so fucking hard reading this (I read the ending multiple times just to torture myself).
Drag Me Into The Woods
https://archiveofourown.org/works/29634444
Part of a bigger series (The Cross of Truth https://archiveofourown.org/series/3197916).
Post-Devil ending. All I can say is that the ending fucks me up (it has a small nod to a thing that we did with him canonically).
As we drift into the haze (Where is my mind?)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/41012601
Post-Devil ending. Goro and V in an arthouse film basically. It's so beautiful and poetic. Got me thinking about it for a few days.
Rebels
https://archiveofourown.org/works/29778579/chapters/73255539
Set during the events of the game and post-Devil ending. While making this I re-read it and I cried again.

Riley's Stories

Stuck
https://archiveofourown.org/works/28443627
Post-(Don't Fear) The Reaper. One of the best (unfinished) fics I've ever read. The characters are so lore accurate. I really want to know how the story ends.
the quiet life
https://archiveofourown.org/works/72589791
Post-Tower ending. I love this so much. Still on progress I think?? I go to this fic every 2 days to check if there's an update.
Explosion imminent
https://archiveofourown.org/works/28181823?view_full_work=true
Set during the events of the game and post-Devil ending. The buildup to first love scene is 👌👌👌. A fun read although still on temporary hiatus.
The Way Home
https://archiveofourown.org/series/2114373
2-part story. Set during the events of the game and post-Devil ending. The first part is done, the second part is unfinished. If this is turned into a TV series I would watch the shit out of it.

This is one of the better outcomes for you, Goro, even if it doesn't feel like it.
Goro in the "The Devil" might seem like his own "good" ending, but then it'll show that he doesn't have much of a character development there, just like Corpo V.
I love him here better in "The Tower" even though it hurts. He could never go back to his former life, but now he has a chance to lead his life outside the shackles of Arasaka. Unlike V though, he'll be having a harder time adapting, both from his age and how deep Arasaka's influence has taken over for the majority of his life. But seeing him here, he's making the most out of his situation, no matter how worse it looks compared to his former life.
Also this is the best ending for an eventual Goro/V to build on alright
This mini comic of mine lowkey did numbers on twitter, so I thought I’d share them here. The Sandevistan is my V’s most ambitious cyberware, one that completely takes over their butterfly back tattoo and the quote that runs along their spine.
