Civilian joytoy V who’s close to Evie. They try to leave the life together, V ends up with Johnny stuck in his head anyway.

Outsider POV. An extreme travel vlogger hires a local guide/bodyguard when she comes to NC. The fic is a script of her video with chunks of cut out content when she asks V to do smth/stop doing smth/take her to Extremely Dangerous Territory like Dogtown etc., all inspired by how real life extreme vloggers treat (dehumanize) locals sometimes.

Alan Wake x Cyberpunk 2077 crossover. Alan is a top-tier netrunner working for Militech, V just gave up Song’s body to NUSA after the horrors of Cynosure. Not long after, Hands calls V about a gig from a client. Client wants V, specifically, to go back to the ‘heart of darkness’. It’s Alan/Scratch too!

Teenager V, Johnny lives au. The Unification War is brewing on the horizon, and Johnny spots a teenager wearing a genuine vintage Samurai t-shirt in the crowd during his show. This one’s gonna hurt.

Better Call Saul au. Ignacio Varga AKA V fails to get out of the Valentinos in time. Right hand man to Gustavo Orta, the man’s suicide puts V in between the two Tino factions—older Padre loyalists and the new generation that doesn’t favor the old guard. It goes about as well as it did for Nacho in BCS :3c

Semi-role reversal between Song and V au. V is a top-tier netrunner running from his traumatic past, now with the ghost of Silverhand haunting his shortened life. Researching possible cures, V starts working for Hansen—just before Song comes to the Colonel with her presidential offer.

Forgive me, but an MCU au. The NCX space shuttle crashlands in New York with V and Song onboard, but the NYC is… wrong, and V’s infected with the Blackwall Pathogen. (This is born solely out of the Age of Ultron scene where Ultron first stumbles into a room full of the avengers, but this time it’s V possessed by a rogue AI).

(Actually, a lot of these aus involve the blackwall infection.)

Outsider POV, online dating au. David and Gloria left NC years ago, David has been chatting to his online friend for years. When Gloria lands a job with Trauma Team, she takes David back with her. David hit up his old friend (who’s been pretty quiet lately) to ask if they can meet, hoping he might pick them up from the airport. He knew his friend was homeless at some point, so when V shows up in a sports car, that’s for sure a surprise. (Idk, need to refine this idea.)

Trauma Team David Martinez meets a merc V on the job. That’s it that’s the AU.
