Chapter 1: hollow

It started as any typical penetration test did—with small, little jerks of the cursor, counter to her normal inputs. Mira didn’t usually pay these any mind. Sunlight Technologies was always hiring some pen-tester or another to attempt to crack their encryption, their firewalls, their responsive malware. It would be a waste to report it; if Sunlight hired the tester, then they were documenting everything they did. There would probably be a company-wide OS patch in the next day or so that would fix the vulnerability, and that would be that. No reason to be concerned. With a couple quick eye movements, Mira deployed a script she had developed in her free time to isolate her operating system from the network and quickly excise any malicious actors. They could test on someone else, thank you very much. What was strange was that it wasn’t working.

alright yall the long-awaited (by me at least) cyberpunk au is starting! been sitting on this one for awhile so i'm so excited to be posting it!

the fic is on ao3 here and below:

I REALLY wanna do an actual fanart for it but can't find a decent poster and my markers can't do it justice but yeah, marketing it again! Feel free to ask me any questions about the week again or guess what this glorious image could lead to and... yeah, bye!

There were! But they had their most popularity back in LJ times, before AO3 existed/became the default archive for everything. So only a fraction of the fics made it to AO3. I must know it, I was literally one of the people writing them. They weren’t the most popular ship, but they actually had enough lore to them.
