Would "You blush so beautifully" be okay for a cyberpunk story. I can imagine johnny saying something cheeky that gets v all flustered and he cant help by blush. Congratulations on 100 followers btw.
Prompt 2 | SilverV
Synopsis: Johnny has come to a realization that he likes how the merc blushes more than he thought.
Word Count: 1.3K
Pairing: Johnny Silverhand / Male!V
Warnings: Hand job. Choking. Praise. Thigh riding.
Notes: Thank you so much for your request! You're the only person that requested Cyberpunk and I love that I got this one. I did change up the way the prompt was said a bit just to make it fit a bit better. Hope you still enjoy :)
Tumblr media
V groans to himself as he throws his bomber jacket onto the ground where it’ll stay. All until he remembers about it. Nibbles meows from the bed but doesn’t make any effort to stand up and greet him. He curls up even tighter in the messed up sheets and blankets, too comfy to do anything else. Not wanting to disturb the cat, V flops down on the couch instead.
“Well, that was very intense.”
V moves his head up so he can spy Johnny sitting on the other end of the lounge. He mumbles something that has the rocker’s eyebrows furrowing and his lit cigarette pausing near his mouth. When the merc doesn’t go on further to repeat himself, Johnny rolls his eyes and takes a long draw of his cig. He blows out a thick cloud of smoke that disappears into nothing.
The odd little gig that Regina had given V was just that. Odd. It included getting a doll out of Night City and across of the border. It was going all smoothly until he offered to pay in sex rather than eddies. Something that V had become very flustered over and denied it, saying it wasn’t necessary. The next thing that happened had V all flustered and going as red as a tomato.
He had patted V’s cheek with a sweet smile and said, “You’re a good boy, you know that? Don’t change that sweet lil’ heart of yours. Regina picked the right merc.”
“Intense?” Johnny quips. “All he did was offer you a good bang.”
V awkwardly looks up from where he is on the couch at the rocker boy. He pulls smoke on his cigarette and blows it out in V’s way. The digital smoke curls around him and for a second, he can almost smell the cheap tobacco.
“Yeah whatever. You try keeping your cool while six border guards stare at you,” V bites back as he sits up in the couch.
“And to think you robbed Arasaka of their most prized possession,” Johnny mumbles.
“Fuck you, too,” the merc quips, flipping the bird to the engram.
He runs a hand down his face and when he opens his eyes his heart jumps from his chest. Johnny stands over him, his smoking cigarette held out to the side. He watches a speck of ash fall off the end and onto the carpet where it disappears instantly. All digital.
“The fuck you want,” V snaps.
Without a word, Johnny kicks V’s foot to part his legs. The merc raises a brow, eyeing him down. He doesn’t move his legs back together though, all too curious on where the rocker is going with this.
“So, because sex was involved you want to finish what I didn’t start? Funny,” V says unimpressed.
Johnny shakes his head. “No. By God, you’re thick sometimes,” he says as he flicks his smoke into V’s face.
The merc flinches, having felt it hit his skin before disappearing. Johnny bends over a little and grabs V’s face with his silver hand, squishing his cheeks. He looks at the merc over the top of his aviators, almost inspecting him. Dark eyes hover over his lips.
“I like the way your face goes as red as a fucking tomato when someone compliments you. You know that shit happens to you right?” Johnny comments. And he can only smirk as V’s cheek blush a beautiful colour.
V doesn’t move though. He should swat Johnny off, tell him to fuck off. Especially when the hand slips down to wrap around his throat, squeezing ever so slightly. He grabs onto the rocker’s wrist, but doesn’t pull him away. Instinct more than anything.
With Johnny’s other hand, he cups V’s growing bulge in his pants and kneads it a little too painfully. V hisses and tries to sit up but Johnny pushes him back down by his throat. This only turns V on further and he grips Johnny’s hand tighter. He can feel the warmth of the cyberware against his skin. Too real to think it’s fake.
“Now, now. Don’t wanna go against the whore’s words and be a bad-“
“Don’t you finish that sentence, you prick,” V snaps but he can feel his face growing hot.
Johnny chuckles lightly. “For a merc, you have a beautiful blush.”
Hearing those words from his mouth, it only makes V’s face all the redder. A stifled groan escapes his throat as Johnny works him through his pants. If the rocker doesn’t touch him proper soon, he’s going to throw him off. So instead of waiting, with his free hand he unbuckles his belt and pulls down his pants just enough for his hard cock to free itself.
Johnny grips V’s cock firmly and begins a steady yet edging pace. All while squeezing even harder around his throat that has the merc gripping onto Johnny harder. Breathing becomes a little hard as his hold is firm and tight, making V’s head light. But he isn’t complaining.
“Did you know your ears go red as well?” Johnny asks, more to mock than anything else.
V grinds his teeth, his gut coiling as pleasure and warmth shoot through him. This even pace that Johnny is doing is agonizing and painful.
“Shut up,” V spits, even though he’s enjoying this a little too much.
Johnny knocks his legs part a tad more before sliding his leather clad knee up against V’s balls. A shiver runs down his spine at the contact and he tries his best to grind back down onto Johnny. He grips the couch with his free hand, trying to reach his high as quickly as he can because he knows how much Johnny likes to watch him squirm. His gut coils at each stroke and he can feel his balls tense.
“Faster,” V groans out.
His breathing becomes short and shallow as Johnny continues the pace on his weeping cock. He’s fully hard and precum leaks from his tip that the rocker collects with his thumb before gliding it down the base and repeating. He isn’t going to change his pace. Each stroke has V shaking and groaning from deep in his throat. They become louder as a thumb is dug deeper into the soft skin underneath V’s jaw, another shiver running down his back. He can barely breath but he’s also so close. He can feel his balls tightening against Johnny’s leg.
“All red in the face from just a hand job,” Johnny grins into his words, enjoying the view a bit too much. “I wonder what you’d look like if someone actually fucked you good and proper.” He speaks the word almost so blandly but it still strikes like a punch to the gut to V’s dick in a way that has spots coming to his vision.
The thought of Johnny taking him, fucking into him rough and hard. Watching V squirm and moan over his cock is enough to have the merc reaching his climax. Hot cum weeps from his cock and onto his toros. His whole body goes stick and ridged and V feels like he can’t breathe for a moment. He can feel Johnny’s eyes on him, eating him up. He keeps stroking V through his orgasm, pumping every last bit of cum out of him until he’s a shaking mess on the couch. Until it’s a sticky mess all over himself.
He lets go of V but keeps near, his knee still positioned between V’s legs. V pants and swallows thickly, trying to collect himself the best he can with the rocker hovering over him still. He tries his best to sit up straight but doesn’t go far.
“Heh,” Johnny chuffs before he smokes on a cigarette he’s pulled from thin air. “I think I finally understand why everyone is so eager to get in your pants.”
“Go eat a dick,” V snaps through his short inhales and exhales.
The rocker only smiles around his cigarette. “Looking like that, don’t tempt me V,” he mocks.

SilverV Romance FanFic Cyberpunk 2077
Hey all! Just wanted to let you all know that I started a Johnny Silverhand/FemV FanFic and I’d love some feedback along the way! I’m toying with the concept of two minds able to handle the crazy overpowering load that the Relic is causing in V’s brain (too much for one mind) and Johnny and V eventually trusting each other enough to share the burden (maybe even save her life ;)). Also some other fun surprises and of course, plenty of banter and name-calling along the way. 
Let me know what you think! :)

"V placed her chin on the side of the tub, looking over at him. He could’ve leaned forward and kissed her if he wanted."
...so I wanted to illustrate the chapter 2 bathtub scene from silkspecter's fanfic, just like honey (the first fanfic that got me feral for this ship). And since the author left V's appearance pretty ambiguous, I drew my V instead :)
Edit: the author is the wonderful @t-virusvaccine 💖

Hot Blood
fandom: cyberpunk 2077  pairing: johnny silverhand/fem! v  rating: explicit (18+)  tags: pwp, piv, thigh riding, light choking, happy ending au where johnny has his body/v is not dying summary: car sex on an extremely hot summer day in a cramped car before a gig to shoot up some wraiths? bad idea, probably. ∘°∘♡∘°∘ READ ON AO3 ∘°∘♡∘°∘
based off a prompt from @seeingstarks
The heat was relentless out in the Badlands when September rolled around. 
The temperature easily pushed over 103°, and sun rays were beating down aggressively on top of Johnny and V through the top of his car. A Porsche wasn’t made to be driven around such rough, uneven terrain, but Johnny had insisted on it. He loved his retro car as if it was a long lost daughter he finally had been reunited with. A little whirring, mechanical child on wheels from 50 years past. 
V typically vetoed no to the Porsche for gigs, but it had been a while since Johnny had driven them both and the job didn’t seem like it would be too driving heavy, so she relented and let him take the wheels. He really wasn’t the best behind the steering wheel, at least not since he had gotten used to an actual body (not that Johnny would ever admit it) and V preferred that Johnny got some practice out in open land and not run over innocent jaywalkers in the city. 
It was, however, definitely not V’s car of preference.
For one thing, it was a small car. V wasn’t a large woman, so why did she feel suffocated in it, especially if she was packing heat? It felt as if there was barely room for her to stretch her legs out, nevermind hauling a bunch of gear, guns and grenades around in there without setting something off and blowing them both to sorry bits. 
But Johnny didn’t seem to mind – it was one of the few times the muscles in his shoulders relaxed, which made the decision to let him drive it worth it in the end for V. Johnny had carried around a tenseness in his body ever since he came back, always on edge. He did his best to hide it, and if V hadn’t shared a brain with him, she might not have noticed. Johnny hadn’t fully believed he was worthy of a second chance, but V had believed nothing else more intensely. 
Still, she regretfully contemplated the decision as sweat dripped down her forehead, onto her bare lashes. He rolled the front windows down to get some kind of breeze because the AC was weak. V had been bugging him to get it fixed for weeks but Johnny had stubbornly snapped that he didn’t “want some fucking Night City idiot fucking around with his car.” 
V wiped her damp forehead with the back of her palm and let out an annoyed huff, shifting uncomfortably in her seat. She had picked out some denim shorts that day, yet it was still too hot and now she had to experience the displeasure of her thighs sticking slick to the leather material. 
“Toughest solo in Night City,” Johnny drawled, looking at her over his sunglasses. “But she can’t handle a little heat.” V pulled a loose bra strap back up on her right shoulder and raised an eyebrow at him. 
“I get that you’re already going to hell Johnny and okay with this heat hellscape, but some of us would like to not be slowly cooked to death.” She paused, reading something on her holo and continued, “I already messaged Claire and she’s going to fix it and you’re going to let her do it without complaints.”
Johnny grunted in disapproval but didn’t put up much of a fight. Instead, he looked out the window and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel in rhythm to an old rock song she was not too familiar with. Everything that mattered to Johnny was rooted in nostalgia, and V was included in that now.
He pulled up to an abandoned gas station just outside of Rocky Ridge and parked the car behind the building just slightly so that they would still have a view of any cars coming down the road. The gig would have Johnny and V wait around 30 minutes before the targets – Wraiths – rolled in as sundown approached. 
Kill them all and make out with some equipment that Saul needed. Simple gig.
V groaned, tossed her seatbelt off and reached towards the dashboard of the car to tinker with the AC settings – with no luck. The little bursts of air coming through felt like pathetic little hiccups, and her entire body was dripping in sweat. Johnny leaned back and watched as V jabbed her fingers at the console for a solution.
“You wouldn’t have survived a day in Texas, princess,” he muses, shifting his seat back. “Get used to it, we’re going to be cooking here for a minute till those motherfuckers roll in.” 
V gave him a cranky scowl. “Your obsession with this car is concerning on a fundamental level.”
Johnny opened up all the windows and pulled out a cigarette to light up, and V took a deep breath in preparation for the smoke that was about to cloud her senses. After a deep drag he let his left arm hang out over the door and she continued on her rant. 
“You have the most advanced cars in the world at your fingertips, and yet you prefer…” her arms flung wildly around the little space available. “…this stupid broken car!”
V caught a glimpse of how she looked in the mirror and she definitely looked a little crazed. Her cheeks were flush with pink and her usually pin straight hair was turning frizzy. Johnny was right, she wouldn’t have lasted even an hour in the humid Southern summers. She looked back at him and took in his appearance. Sure, Johnny was sweating too, but he looked unbothered. He had chosen to wear his leather pants regardless of the weather that day and he didn’t even look like he was struggling with them. 
At that exact moment, she resented how good he looked.
“I take offense to that V. I’ll have you know…” Johnny took another puff of his cigarette before offering it over to V. “This was a fucking chick magnet.” She accepted it and begrudgingly started to smoke. He wasn’t a part of her anymore, but the cravings still hit her if she saw Johnny smoke first. It was exactly what she needed, and she felt herself relax slightly after the first exhale.  
“Oh boy, here we go. Gonna regale me with stories of your drug addled sexcapades?” She took another long hit, quickly put it out, then tossed it out the window on her side of the car. “I know they were desperate for some rockstar dick, but I highly doubt they actually enjoyed the cramped experience. Only teenagers fuck in cars.” 
Johnny gave a crooked smirk. “Au contraire, V. Au fuckin’ contraire.” His hands went to the sign of his seat to pull it down, taking up more of what little space was left in the backseat. He leaned back and put his arms above his head, and closed his eyes in a show of shush, I’m daydreaming now.
“Fucking preem experience having a chick bounce up and down on me in here. Such a compact space means you’re forced to fit all up against each other, and it’s tight. Doesn’t get old.” 
V fiddled around with her rifle, making sure the bullets were all loaded. She rolled her eyes at him, but her curiosity was piqued slightly. It was an automatic reaction, something she couldn’t control even when her mind signaled: not now ! The second Johnny started being suggestive at all – V couldn’t help it – her body would react without her brain’s explicit permission. 
They had already fucked twice that morning; sleepy, leisurely sex in bed, then he had come up behind her in the bathroom while she was drying her hair and had bent her over the sink. Not that V was complaining. Johnny had been insatiable ever since they had settled into “normal life”, but she never entertained anything during a job. She was a professional, after all.
“Sure,” she said, giving her gun a wipe down. “I bet they loved bumping their heads and getting thigh cramps.”
Johnny responded by taking the rifle out of her hands and pulling it out of her reach. She made a noise of surprise and tried to rustle it out of his arms but no luck, her arms were short and he was leaning back with it. “You won’t get it back from there,” he commented.
“Not funny Johnny,” she scolded. “The Wraiths could be here any second. Give it back.” 
“We know when they’re coming, V. Saul has their routes down to a fucking T.” 
His eyebrows wiggled annoyingly in the direction of his lap, signaling for V to climb on top of him  to retrieve her gun. Her lips went flat in disapproval for a beat, before she twisted her body around, scaled over the drink holder and gingerly into his lap. “You’re so pea-brained,” she said. 
The space was cramped, though it did help that his seat was leaned back a bit. She could feel the heat against the thick material of his pants permeating against her legs. Her brain paused on the sensation against her, before reminding her why she was on him in the first place and she leaned forward to grab her gun. V failed to grab it – Johnny quickly tossed it behind the back of his chair, too out of the way for her to retrieve it in the current position.
“Dick,” she grumbled. V tried to move over him to reach behind, but his hands found their way to her hips and he squeezed down firmly, keeping her pressed against his right thigh. 
“I think I might love summer,” he said. She squirmed against his hold but he just held her down tighter. Johnny’s cock hardened and strained against his pants. “Know why? Because you wear these hot little shorts like the fucking cocktease you are.”
V’s eyes glazed over briefly as she checked the clock out of nerves – they still had 20 minutes before any of the Raffen Shivs were due to show up, but she wouldn’t apologize for being too sure. She snapped out of the thought as Johnny groped at her tits, rolling his thumb over a hard nipple through her white tank top. “One hell of an outfit to wear to a possible shootout, V.”
He leaned forward to kiss her mouth, before trailing down to her jaw and neck. She looked down at him, her heart rate increasing quickly at the thought of fucking him. It would be stupid. It would be reckless. 
“I didn’t wear this to get your dick hard idiot,” she breathlessly replied in between his wet kisses. “Earth to Johnny. Normal humans dress appropriately for the weather.” 
“Then take it off,” he shrugged, tugging at the cotton material. V let him pull the top off over her head, tossing it over to her seat. Johnny didn’t have her take off her bra, instead opting to pull it down so that her tits popped out over the cups. He leaned forward to take a nipple in his mouth, sucking and twirling the nub in his mouth, all the while palming his cock through his pants.
If V was pink earlier, she was full on lobster red now between the heat of the car and the flush of the grind against his leather pants. She had opted out of underwear that morning, mostly due to having put off laundry for so long that she ran out of panties. And now that decision had come back to haunt her as every twitch against him ran a shock through her clit, begging her to roll against him harder.
Johnny let go of one breast and moved onto the neglected side, biting down on the nipple. She let out a whining sound of pleasure as she held her arms against his headrest and rocked against him faster. “Fuck. God damn it, Johnny.” Her clit was growing swollen against the denim fabric of her shorts and the clumsy pace of her fucking his thigh. 
He pulled away from her chest and a hand moved up to finger his old dogtags that she wore, which were now jingling in rhythm with her grinding. “That’s my girl.” 
His fingers wrapped around her throat and gently squeezed. “Yeah, that’s right, baby. Use me. Make yourself feel good.” She let out a choked moan when her clit passed over some kind of raised, ridged material in his pants. 
She rolled her hips against him, angling to make sure her clit continued to hit the same spot again and again. Johnny wanted to fuck her, badly, but wanted to watch her come apart like this even more. V’s body was slick with sweat, and he knew she would find it annoying in the aftermath, but Johnny loved how completely natural of a state she was in. 
Something organic, something real, and something only his to witness.
“So fucking sexy baby. Should see yourself right now. Making a mess on me. Could cum just looking at you V.” 
“Idiot,” she gasped. V worked herself at a frantic and shameless pace, and he pulled her face closer to his so he could kiss her. She could feel the pressure building in her soaked cunt, letting out moans that were muffled by Johnny’s mouth. The kiss was messy as he sucked on her tongue and their saliva dribbled down her chin. 
V lurched forward when her orgasm came crashing down like a lightning bolt, her climax shaking throughout her whole body. V’s hips bucked against his leg as she rode out the rest of the wave, completely engulfed in the embrace of his arms, face buried into the crook of his neck. Johnny was drenched in sweat too, smelling vaguely of soap, but mostly smoke. 
After a few seconds, Johnny chuckled and brushed V’s damp hair away from her forehead. She was distinctly aware of the painful erection he still had straining against his pants. “My stupid broken car still has women creaming their panties 50 years later.” She nipped at his neck and shifted her body up against him to press on his hardon. 
“That’s where you’re wrong, Johnny. I’m not wearing any panties.” 
Johnny let out a groan and his hands squeezed her shoulders, pushing her back down on him. One of his arms shot to her shorts and pulled at the zipper ungracefully. “Get these off,” he growled. V leaned back and looked beyond the car towards the road. Still empty, but her brain issued a huge red flag at the thought of rogue nomads popping up behind them and popping one in their heads…
She could picture the tombstone – RIP V, she died doing what she loved most: Johnny Silverhand. 
Ugh. Bad idea, V chided herself silently. 
Then she said it out loud too, still not entirely used to him not being able to hear everything she thought. “Bad idea, Johnny. We don’t have time.” 
Johnny went to work on his zipper, tugging his cock free from the restraints of his oppressive pants. He started slowly stroking and she couldn’t see his eyes through the lenses of his dark glasses. “V, you can either ride my cock now or I’ll jerk off and you can walk back to camp with cum on your shorts. Your choice.” He stroked faster and his eyebrow furrowed as she considered the decision with 15 minutes left on the clock in her head.
It was awkward to lift herself up from him to take her shorts off but she managed to peel them off and fling them to her seat. She wasn’t confident it was very sexy to watch her do this, but Johnny was still intently watching her as he masturbated, and she suddenly was very aware of the hot air on her naked lower half. 
V tried to look down between them as she lined his cock up with her entrance, letting the tip slide between her folds. Johnny was already leaking precum, and before V got the chance to lower herself, he grabbed her waist and yanked her down to sit on his cock. Her eyes popped wide as he sat her down all the way, no space, not an inch in between them. 
“Johnny,” she gasped. 
“Ride my cock V, need to feel every fucking inch of your pussy.” 
One of Johnny’s arms curled around her waist, the other one landed on her thigh as he slammed her down onto his dick. V readjusted the angle so her legs weren’t caught in any tight crevices, and when she was finally comfortable she started to move quickly against him. Johnny groaned when he felt the fullness of her weight, the tightness of her cunt fully engulfing him. 
“Love how needy you are for my cock V, fuckin anywhere, anytime, my fucking girl.”
Johnny was barely holding it together. His glasses were rocking about, threatening to fly off with each violent slam that V pushed down on. Her wetness was soaking through everywhere, mixing with their sweat, making the car smell like a hotbox of pure sex. 
“Fuck, Johnny, you know I can’t say no to you,” V panted, holding herself steady. “You’re– so fucking deep.” She spread her thighs a bit wider, as much as the space allowed, Johnny clutched her tight as he continued his rocking pace against her, so profoundly deep inside she thought she may have felt it in her stomach.
His hands were digging into her so hard it was going to leave a bruise after. V was so tight, Johnny groaned like a man who was in the process of losing his mind. “Fucking made for my cock. My fucking perfect cocksleeve.” 
V leaned in to capture his lips, biting down on them to make them bleed.  She had to admit: no matter how many times they fucked, she still got the same butterflies that lurched in her body with how they fit perfectly. As if it was proof that there was a God somewhere and he did actually craft their bodies with the intention of them finding each other, somehow, half a century apart.
She held him against her as she began to rock her body, her clit rubbing against his body with every roll of her hips. Johnny groaned as they kissed, and V knew he was close to coming. His hands wandered down to grip her ass tightly, impaling her down on him with more force than she could hope to do on her own. “Johnny,” she gasped. “Need your fucking cum in me.” 
Sweat rolled down their bodies like droplets of rain. The combined body heat was making it hard to breathe, but she let her hands wander to his throat anyway. V didn’t do the choking too often, but thought herself a giver sometimes. Johnny was close, his fingers were digging a death grip into her and his pace was becoming erratic. She closed both her hands around his throat and squeezed, holding her gaze on his face.  “What’s taking so long, you want them to see me riding your cock babe?”
A grunt of approval resounded deep in Johnny’s chest. V’s toes curled as she felt him impale into her once more, a sudden and violent rope of cum shooting into her core. She choked Johnny a bit harder as she slowly rocked against him, taking in the feeling of her pussy milking his cock for every drop. One hand left his neck and wandered down to feverishly rub at her very swollen clit, her orgasm crashing down quickly in sparks. Johnny and V clung to each other, skin sticking to skin; neither one wanted to be the first one to get up from the mess they’ve left. “Eight minutes,” she finally said, breaking the silence.
“Don’t think I didn’t notice you were constantly checking the clock the whole time, because I did, you little control freak.” Johnny replied, fidgeting with his glasses. She leaned back to put her tank top on and laughed. 
“One of us has to try and keep us alive,” she smiled. They both looked at each other with soft eyes until a loud sound in the distance caused them to stiffen up. “What the fuck was that?” They both whipped their heads around and craned their necks to see a gaggle of trucks looming back in the gas station. A couple of heads were pointed their way, some shouting and pulling out their guns. Johnny sheepishly watched as V frantically hopped over to her seat to pull on her shorts.
“Fuuuck me. What did I say, Johnny? What did I say!? Any second!”
V was in a fit of panic, and all Johnny could offer up was a shrug. "Saul was wrong." 
She slapped his forehead (to which he simply responded: ow) and haphazardly threw out a grenade in the distance, hoping it would buy them another few seconds. 
“Pass me my rifle. Now.”

When V and Johnny burst back into the Afterlife, they begin to be known as the Cockroach. Affectionately, of course, anyone who sneered out the moniker would quickly find they weren’t able to eat solids for months or find welcome at the club.
Johnny didn’t like it at first, his ego sliced by the realisation that the people in his life did better without him in theirs. V threw humour over it when she reminded him of how he had pulled through to the other side of a nuclear devastation, and it was impossible for him to keep a straight face at any mention of it afterwards.
V was proud as fuck that her reputation was of someone difficult to kill, in spite of all the odds. Flattered as well, she took more care than was due to style and maintain her vibrant ‘ganic copper hair. Her whole schtick was being the fiery femme, the ruthless red-head, a babe serving brutal beat-downs.
Individually, they were pests. Forced proximity turned them into a fucking menace. Clair started stocking twice as much centzon as before, and Emmerick had to invest in cyberware to stabilise his blood pressure. If it had been anyone else, Rogue would have banned them long ago. As it stood, V was her best contractor, and life had become just a little bit brighter with them in it.

(Cyberpunk 2077) Gig: A Chance
V takes on a unique transport job from Rogue.
--
“I got an important job for you, V.”
V is sitting in her apartment when she gets the call from Rogue. The famous fixer doesn’t give her many jobs, so of course the merc sits up, immediately intrigued.
“I need you transport someone out of the city- I can’t say more. This is an extremely delicate matter,” Rogue explains, “the details are better not explained over the holo. Come see me at the No Tell Motel and I’ll explain everything.”
“The No Tell Motel?” V questions, “not The Afterlife?”
“As I said, this is very delicate,” she reiterates, “we need to keep away from prying eyes.” “Alright. I’ll be right there.”
“Good. I’m waiting in room 110. And bring a car.”
The call ends as V stands up to get ready. She throws on her Samurai leather coat and grabs her katana and Malorian pistol.
Johnny, who is lounging on the couch, takes a drag of his cigarette as he watches her. “Rogue sounded stressed.”
“When isn’t she stressed,” V remarks. His digital construct disappears as she gives Nibbles a quick pat on the head before going out the door.
She takes the elevator down to the parking garage where her Porsche is parked. After getting into the driver’s seat, she turns on Body Heat radio and drives off to the No Tell Motel.
The motel is mostly empty, except for a couple druggies hanging about. V goes up to the second floor, to room 110, and knocks three times.
Rogue quickly answers and ushers V inside. “Good, you’re here.”
“So what’s so special about this gig?” V asks as she walks into the bedroom. “It’s gotta be pretty important for you to be handling it personally-.”
She stops as she sees someone sitting on the bed. It’s a young Asian boy, can’t be any older than 12. His black hair is neatly cut and his shoes and pants look expensive, but he’s wearing an oversized coat that doesn’t suit him at all. He stares at V with a suspicious glare.

This dress, and this quest, inspired a super short flirty/kinda angsty mini fic I wrote.
"Are you going in that?" he scoffed, and spit on the ground, only for it to vanish into his virtual space. I crossed my arms, expecting him to honestly go on, but after a moment, I took the bait. "Slut shaming? in this day in age, Johnny? And from you, of all people. Crazy." "Not shaming, just-" He stopped, his back faced me, traces of cyberspace weaving in and out of his silhouette. "You look good." It was quick, too quick for Johnny, but so telling. He was nervous to look at me, nervous to acknowledge seeing me through my eyes in the mirror, I could feel the nerves, slipping into the in between that was our minds coming together. The space between felt open, like he was caught off guard. He swallowed, lit another cig and turned to me finally. My outfit was fit for an alley in the Kabuki slums, next to whatever strip joint this girl, the girl who would probably love this dress, worked at. I knew exactly what Johnny wanted to say, but couldn't.
"You enjoying the view?" I teased. He grinned from ear to ear.
"Huh, you wish." Taking another drag, he shifted in his boots and dared another glance. I almost wanted to giggle at how school boy-ish this felt. For a grown man, he showed signs of immaturity left and right, and right now, Johnny "Rockerboy" Silverhand was pulling my virtual pigtails because I am in a short club dress, of all things. The gall, the nerve of this man.
I rolled my eyes. "Is this how you charmed Alt and Rogue?"
"Not exactly, Alt was more about sticking my tongue down her throat and Rogue, Rogue was more complicated. Didn't happen as fast as Alt and me." An honest response.
"So you are charming me?"
"Huh?" he looked off, considering his options, "Maybe, doesn't hurt to compliment the host of the body I've been in for months now, besides it's not the worst to be in. A hot Heywood chick with a wild streak, only problem is you’re an ex-corpo bitch."
"I could say something similar about you, Johnny." I sighed, and slumped into my desk chair, hoping he'd lose steam before the compliments had to be countered with insults. God forbid we ever actually get vulnerable without trying to brush it off, especially like this, especially with Johnny.
"Sorry, kid." He meant it, and that’s all that was said.
I lit up my own cigarette while Johnny enjoyed it with me in silence as we took in the skyline outside of the Heavy Hearts Club. Once I finished up, spritz myself, and adjusted, I made my way towards the entrance. Johnny was gone physically, but I could feel that small tug, a little bit of tension in the back of my mind, where he called home. I could feel the pulse of desire, attraction, embarrassment, and all the emotions of our exchange melting into our in between.
I focused myself and made my way inside.

to happy days, now and forever
wrote a lil something for johnny's birthday <3 it's fluffy and cute enjoy <3
also on ao3
-----------------
A moment of silence. The hot breath on her shoulder. His chrome arm lay loosely around her waist. V loved waking up in the mornings, next to him. Johnny Silverhand - fully alive and real and warm.
V knew he was busy, helping Kerry with music stuff, helping Vik with the clinic since he saved Johnny’s life, and helping her with any of her merc work if needed. He’s been thriving since being back in his own body. He even stopped smoking - for her, he said - and it shows, his face having rounder cheeks and his body filling out more after he stopped with the cigs.
V loved these quiet mornings when he was still asleep. She loved looking at his face, all the little scars and marks, and just seeing how absolutely peaceful he looked. She couldn’t help herself, so she placed her palm on his cheek, rubbing gentle circles with her thumb.
“Wake up, sleepyhead,” she whispered.
Johnny groaned in response, “Don’t wanna.”
V moved some of the hair that fell into Johnny’s face as he talked, “C’mon, old man. It’s an important day.”
“It’s my day and I wanna spend it sleeping.”
V laughed and untangled herself to get out of bed, he may wanna spend the day in bed, but she had important stuff to do, more specifically - important stuff to do for him.
“Where ya goin’? I thought I said to stay in bed?”
“You only said you wanted to stay sleeping, I got stuff to do, old man.”
“Do you have to call me an old man?”
“Today? Yes.”
He let out another groan, “Go do your stuff, birdie, I’ll be here.”
“You’ll come to the Coyote when I call?”
“Course. Not doin’ anything else, today.”
“I’ll see you tonight then.” She blew him a kiss before the door shut.
____________________
Johnny received her call around seven in the evening. He left the building and got into his car. Thank fuck too because damn, he was bored. Ever since he was back in his own body, he hated the thought of being alone. When he was just an engram on a chip, V was there all the time. Now? Sometimes he felt a sense of loneliness and dread when he didn’t have company.
He enjoyed keeping busy while she was handling merc work without him. He helped Kerry a little with anything music-related and sometimes they just chilled and jammed out together. He was excited about Kerry’s new tour, but that meant more time on his hands so he also started helping Vik.
His work for Vik was a bit more - the guy saved his damn life after all. Johnny helped him sort any new medical supplies or cyberware that would arrive, mostly busy work, but Vik was a good guy. Sometimes, on lighter days, he’d teach Johnny boxing too. Misty wasn’t all bad either. He remembered Jackie saying in V’s memories how sweet she was and he was right. She’d help Vik out with patients sometimes or just come down and chat with them. Even all her tarot talk was tolerable.
Before he knew it, he was in front of the El Coyote Cojo. It seemed dark, like it was closed. V did say to go to the Coyote, right? He wasn’t sure, but then he saw a little sign in front of the door saying “private party.” Guess that must be for him.
He walked in, the bar was the most dark and quiet he’d ever seen it. A little chilling, actually. That is until he walked a few more steps in - 
All the lights and music turned on, along with a shower of confetti and a chorus of “SURPRISE,” from people getting out of their hiding spots.
He took off his aviators, tucking them into his shirt. A big smile plastered on his face. Everyone that he knew and cared about was here. He saw V way in the back, a smile on her face. He started making his way towards her, but was stopped by a hand hitting his shoulder.
“Lookin’ good, man! Happy birthday, Johnny!” Kerry had a big grin on his face, something that was becoming more normal for him, which in turn made Johnny happy too.
“Thanks, Ker. You look good too. Tour prep almost done?”
“Yup, leavin’ in a week or so. You gonna be okay?”
“Yea, Vik’ll keep me busy.”
“You know, Johnny… It’s really good to see you doing good.”
Johnny didn’t know what to say to that, but Rogue came up from behind before he could come up with something, “Kerry’s right, Johnny. It’s nice seeing you do so good. V’s been good to you.”
“She’s the best.”
“Mhmm. Just know, if I ever hear about you making her cry, it’ll be me coming after you.” She had a playful, but stern expression on her face.
“Think she’d kill me before you even get a whisper of something happenin’, Rogue.” They both let out a chuckle.
“True, but you came back from the grave, didn’t you? I’ll find a way to kill you again. Happy birthday, Johnny.”
Johnny looked towards the corner where he saw V standing before, but she wasn’t there anymore. His eyes traveled through the party, Mama Welles was talking to Vik and MIsty at the bar, but Pepe wasn’t in his usual spot behind the bar.
As he walked up to them, Mama Welles got up from her seat.
“Mijo, you’re looking healthier.” She grabbed his face in her hands, “I’m glad. Come by anytime for some food, huh? We’ll get you filled out in no time. Ah! Tell V she’s welcome as well."
“Thanks, Mama Welles. I will.”
A gentle look crossed her face, “You two make a good couple. I’ll be off then, more people to talk to.” She left with a tap on his arm as she went.
He took the seat next to Vik
“Ah, birthday guy himself.” He clapped him on the back, “Happy birthday.”
Misty poked her head up, Johnny could only just see her over Vik’s head, “Happy birthday, Johnny!”
“Thanks, you two. We got another shipment comin’ tomorrow, right?”
Vik let out a laugh, “Thinkin’ about work right now? It’s your fucking birthday! Forget it. I’ll handle tomorrow, sleep in with your girl, ‘kay?”
Johnny couldn’t help the smile, “Thanks, Vik. Speakin’ of party, where’s Pepe? Kinda wanted a shot.”
“Dunno,” was all Vik said as he reached behind the bar, grabbing a bottle of tequila and a shot glass, “He can yell at me later if he wants, have a shot.”
Johnny downed it, the familiar taste sliding down his throat. Drinking was more of a special occasion for him now, his birthday being one of them.
“Thanks, Vik, Misty. Gonna go find V now, take care.”
Vik nodded and Misty smiled as he got up from the bar stool. His eyes roamed over the party searching for his birdie as the lights dimmed.
The first notes of the happy birthday song started as he saw V coming down the stairs, a cake in hand, sparklers coming off of it, and a few candles on it. He also saw Pepe behind her, so that’s where he ran off too.
V stopped in front of him, cake in hand, the song everyone was singing blurred into the background as he focused on her, “Happy birthday, Johnny. Make a wish!”
The cake looked beautiful, strawberry shortcake, a favorite of his, and made with real strawberries too. Not any of that gross synthberry shit. Must’ve cost a lot, explained how busy V had been lately - more jobs for more eddies to get him this beautiful cake.
He kept staring at the cake, no wish coming to mind - until, finally - he closed his eyes for a second before blowing the candles out.
V set the cake down on the table that was beside them. She got a little bit of the frosting on her thumb and before he could react, she put it on his nose with a laugh.
And she looked absolutely radiant.
Johnny grabbed some of the frosting with a finger and put it on her nose while she was still laughing.
Her gasp was exaggerated, “Hey!”
“You did it to me!”
“It’s your birthday, old man!”
Johnny chuckled at that, “Fine.”
And then he was looking at her again, and thought about what he wished for, and he had to say something.
“Valerie?”
“Yea?”
“I love you.”
The look in her eyes said everything he needed to know, but she still responded back - 
“I love you too. Happy birthday, Johnny.”

Finding A Way
Johnny Silverhand x V
A quick hurt & comfort fic because I had a night and I gotta get my emotions out. First fic I've posted on tumblr in years but I can't stop thinking about this pairing
!!! TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDE !!!
It had only been a week since Night City's most notorious terrorist had taken his parasitic residence inside your head, but it felt like it had been years. You really get to know someone once they're physically unable to leave your side; and despite your frequent spats over trivial things like cigarettes and which gun is better, you've slowly grown fond of Silverhand. Despite the fact that his engram was slowly deteriorating your neurons, you had quickly gotten to the point where you didn't know what life would be like without the sarcastic asshole constantly by your side for his own version of moral support. Some could argue that he was a bad influence, but in the loneliest city in the New United States of America, any company was company worth having. And despite his cynical attitude, you could tell he was growing fond of you too. Perhaps it was your personalities merging as the engram slowly consumed your brain, but it had become easier to find common ground in the struggle of existing together. Maybe it was also pity from Silverhand's perspective that had made him more agreeable, as the side effects of losing yourself became more obvious.
It had started with the migraines, blurry vision, similar to the neural viruses you had experienced working as a merc. Over time though, your mental awareness began to wane. You often found yourself staring at nothing in particular, unable to gather your thoughts or make the witty responses you were known for. Forgetting things was another common side effect, and recently the people once important to you had also begun to fade from your mind. You felt slower, as if twenty pound weights were being added to your body with each day that passed. Your whole body had begun to ache, and neural shocks seizing your body had only grown more common place. As the hopelessness of your situation continued to sink in, it felt like your body had begun to check out; and the jolting pain as your own nerves were burned out of your brain by the biochip was a constant reminder of your impending fate.
Sitting atop Misty's Esoterica in the shitty plastic chairs she had introduced you to, you look out to the bright lights and take a long drag of your cigarette. You cough as the chemicals fill your lungs, closing your eyes tight to try and bring back memories of a happier time. Your parents, what did they look like? You remember looking up to them, but their faces were just an unrecognizable blur. It hurt that even the people who brought you into this world were no longer anything but a fading relic, and so you fill your lungs with more smoke to distract yourself from the haze filling your brain. You stand from the chair, flicking your cigarette into the half filled ashtray and walking to the ledge to lean against it and take in the views. You peer over the edge, trying to spot Jackie's motorcycle parked on the pavement below. As you bring your gaze upward, you feel another jolt from your brain travel down your body- making your twitch and cry out in pain and frustration. The shocks were growing more intense and frequent with every hour, and you could feel your window of opportunity towards recovery from the damage quickly closing. Fighting through the pain was getting harder to the point where you questioned if your life was worth the effort. After all, you still blamed yourself for Jackie's death, what did it matter if you joined him in whatever came afterwards? You take another look off the edge, leaning over the concrete barrier and letting yourself tip forward slightly to judge the distance of the fall. It would surely be enough, wouldn't it?
"I know what you're thinking, don't do it V."
"Of course you know what I'm thinking, you're in my brain jackass"
"Just going to give up now? We got some promising leads, Rogue managed to-"
"We got leads, but we don't have time, Johnny.... it hurts. It's getting worse, and I don't want to die in the middle of a gun fight and leave her stranded."
You sigh and look to your left, where Silverhand sits with his gaze averted from yours. He takes his glasses off and folds them, tucking them into his vest and sliding his digital hand towards your arm without turning to face you. You look at the metal hand, that glitches in and out of your perception- a stark reminder that even your closest friend isn't even truly there with you.
"C'mon V, we can go-"
"No." You cut him off, gripping onto the concrete ledge and hoisting yourself to stand on it. You feel the wind blow through your hair as you once again look down into the empty parking lot outside Misty's, and your body sways back and forth as you gather your courage.
"There's no point in putting anyone else in any more danger Johnny, I can't do it. It's fucking hopeless anyways, I won't-" you find yourself choking over your words, your usual stoicism crumbled as you face the end.
"I won't risk losing anyone else trying to save my life."
"V-"
You manage to bring your gaze back to Johnny, who's now looking directly into your eyes with a hand out stretched towards you. Silverhand had never shown much emotion, but you could feel the weight of your shared sadness. He seemed at a loss for words as well, and for a moment, you just stared at each other.
"Please." Johnny chokes out, screwing his eyes shut to try and hide the tears welling up. It catches you by surprise- he's never said please, much less cried in front of you.
"I don't- I can't let you go. Not like this." He murmurs, attempting to grab you with his synthetic hand. You can almost feel the cool metal brush against your skin as he brings himself to stand next to you.
"It'd be over... I wouldn't have to put up with any of this shit anymore." You whisper, feeling your own eyes fill with tears and quickly blinking them away. "Johnny, I don't want to do this anymore."
"I know. Can't imagine how shitty it is to lose yourself like this. But V- I'm not going anywhere." You feel his presence merge with yours, and you notice your hand reaching up to caress your cheek. You lean into the touch, shakily exhaling as Johnny wraps your other arm around your body to bring yourself into a hug.
"We can't end it like this- a stain on the fucking pavement. You're the better me V, the me I wish I could've been. And I won't let you go." You squeeze yourself tighter, unsure who is in control of your arms but knowing that Johnny is trying his hardest to hold you still.
You stand there in silence, allowing Johnny to slide your own hands gently up and down your body. You can't remember the last time you got a hug from someone else, but you knew it felt something like this. Johnny's voice now echoes through your thoughts:
"I've never been good at the sappy shit- but meeting you is the best fucking thing that's happened to me. And if I could rip myself out of your head right now to save you, I would."
"But you can't, Johnny. We both know how this is going to end- the biochip is going to overwrite my mind and leave you with my broken fucked up body to deal with."
"You know, I've come to like your body. Sure, nerves might be a little shot, but it's got you in it, and that's pretty damn great."
You let a couple tears escape your closed eyes, chuckling to yourself at the absurdity of the situation you've found yourself in. You know he isn't there with you physically, but you can feel his soul wrapped around yours, cradling your psyche with his spirit.
"V- no matter what happens, I'll be with you. Even if we fail miserably, I'm not giving up on you, or letting you give up on yourself."
You open your eyes and find that you've stepped down from the edge, still holding yourself in your arms.
"Well.... at least I know that when I finally kick the bucket, I'll have given it my best shot." You manage to curl your lips into a small smile, feeling Johnny reciprocate the smile from inside your mind.
"We'll save you yet, V. I promised you I'd do anything to save your life, didn't I?"
You release yourself from your hold to touch the dog tags dangling around your neck, letting your fingers run along the chain. Underneath that necklace is the bullet- resting against your chest as a constant reminder of the second chance you've been given.
"You already have saved my life, Johnny. Just did it again."
"Third times the charm. Let's go V, maybe grab a bite to eat. I'm hankering for a good slice of pizza right now."
You take another step back from the edge and turn to head towards the elevator, still holding on to the dog tags. Johnny leans against the wall next to the door, a softness in his eyes that you haven't noticed before. You give your arm one more tight squeeze, this time as a message to Johnny.
"Sounds like a plan. Just don't make me put that fake pineapple shit on it"
"Wouldn't dream of it, V."

Other Half - 1.1k ( Day 1: Soulmates )
V and Johnny learn that the whole 'soulmates' thing wasn't as bullshit as they had started to believe.
a little something i wanted to write for @silverv-week! the v in this isn't my own v, i just kinda made up a guy for this. here's what i imagine their soulmark to look like :3
V trudged his way into his H10 apartment exhausted and covered in blood, guts, and street grime. His clothes stuck to his skin repulsively, and thank god he was nose-blind to Night City, because he could only imagine how much he reeked.
“The hell are you standing around for? Take a goddamn shower before I take one for you.” Johnny materializes, leaning against the wall connecting the main room and the bathroom, jerking his thumb over his shoulder. For a guy perpetually covered in dirt, V could tell he was just as disgusted with the current state of V’s-- Their? Body.
“Yeah, yeah, thanks mom.” He grumbled, willing himself to the bathroom instead of dropping off into his bed.
He always felt a little weird, getting undressed with Johnny in his head, cheeks burned at the idea of him watching, because, whether he showed himself or not, he always was watching. Neither of them had much of a choice in that. Johnny always felt blissfully absent during moments like this, though, and V appreciates the effort nonetheless. The first time he’d had to strip post-everything, he’d expected Johnny to pop out and mock him, tease him relentlessly, something along those lines. When none of those things happened; when, in fact, nothing at all happened, no Johnny, no comments- he felt like a bit of a douche. Back then, it was fear he felt at the idea; invasion, like he had thought about Johnny’s presence in his head as a whole. Now? He’s not so sure.
He tries not to think about it.
The water’s barely lukewarm, he’s lucky it’s not ice cold. As it stands, he finds it actually kind of refreshing. He runs through washing himself systematically, scrubbing soap through his hair, over his back, across his chest, the draining water mixing black, brown and red. His eyes glaze over his wrist as he cleans his right arm, making it up to his shoulder before a sudden compulsion stops him, has him looking back.
His mark looks loosely like a humanoid split in the middle. One half has a weird, jagged extension to the head, a few small disconnected dots around the protrusion, the other has a withered, wobbly look. It’s small, barely noticeable, only slightly darker than his skintone, and a lot of people in his life have wondered if it really was just a birthmark, not a soulmark. He’s always wondered himself.
Looking at it feels right, resonates through him. From the moment he was born, to the moment he dies, his most steadfast companion. He goes to run his finger over it when he catches sight of his other arm-
He blinks. That’s not…
Johnny’s mind and his blending, snapping apart only through the discrepancy of his organic arm.
His eyes go wide as he realizes why, and he feels it dawn over Johnny as well.
He’s a snot-nosed kid with greasy, black hair falling into his face as he holds his wrist, rubbing at the mark, wondering what it means, who it links him to. Wondering if he’ll meet them when he finally gets out of this shithole of a city, back when he thought he could escape it.
He blinks.
He’s a Heywood gutter punk, worn down tennis shoe heels scraping against cracked sidewalks, chasing and being chased by other kids, other Heywood rats, just like him. They laugh together and steal together and get their asses beat together. Two of them have matching soulmarks, they say they’ll be together forever, even if everyone else goes their own ways. He remembers how whenever anyone new joins, they all compare marks, everyone eager to find their pair, giddy at the prospect. Later on, in his mid-20s, long after they’d all gone their separate ways, he’d be the only one without his soulmate. He’d also be the only one to make it to 26.
He blinks.
He’s in some bar’s back room, Alt in his lap. Their marks don’t match, of course. His doesn’t seem to match with fuckin’ anyone. Doesn’t matter, he tells himself. Whole soulmates thing is bullshit anyway, what the hell’s some mark supposed to do? Why the hell would he go along with gonk shit like that when he could live his own life, carve his own path? He wouldn’t have gotten nearly this far if he spent all his life on his ass waiting for his “one true match” to come along. It’s kiddy idealistic shit, is what it is, and he refuses to waste any time on it. He figures he’ll die before he finds his match, and right now, he tells himself, he couldn’t give a shit.
He blinks.
He’s sitting on a bench, running his hand over his face. Another date, another guy who used him for a quick fuck then kicked him out because their marks don’t match. This one didn’t even wait ‘till morning, gave him the boot almost immediately. What a shame, he’d really been looking forward to an awkward breakfast. He’s so fucking tired of it, of trying to put himself out there, make deeper connections than just being fuckbuddies, and what the hell does he get for it? Rejection at every turn. He’s stopped even looking for his soulmate; no one he’s ever known has ever seen a soulmark like his. He’s unique. Yippee. Maybe he doesn’t even have a soulmark, that’d be a cruel twist of fate. Maybe it really is just a regular-ass birthmark he’s been placing so much importance on. He heaves a deep sigh, hoping it dispels some of the weight in his heart. At this point, he wonders what kind of deus ex machina it would take for him to find his soulmate, if he even has one. For right then, though, he decides to throw dating to the wind- hell, Night City to the wind too, while he’s at it. Maybe a little trip would get him out of this funk.
He blinks- no, shakes his head, landing back in the present. Johnny appears in front of him, wearing the same expression of shock in the wake of that revelation as V imagines he himself has on. All this time, and they were-
“No fucking shit…” Johnny murmurs, at a loss for anything else. “You- you?” V stammers, “There’s- seriously? All this time I’ve been waiting around and it ends up being the guy in my head. Fucking-- preem.”
“Yeah, well,” Johnny huffs at him, “This guy in your head didn’t sign up for this shit either. Could be saying the same thing.”
V runs his hands through his hair, tugging a bit at the roots, grumbling, “We can’t even like- makeout dramatically like they do in the shows, because we’re the same guy.”
Johnny raises an eyebrow. “Would you want to?”
“Huh? Makeout? I mean… We’re soulmates, apparently, and you’re not…” Heat rises to his face. “You’re not unattractive. So yeah, if it were an option, I’d like to at least, y’know. Try it out.”
“’Not unattractive’? Yeesh, tough crowd.” He rubs his chin thoughtfully. “As for the making out thing, though…” He smirks, “I’m sure we could figure something out.”

Strings of Devotion [ao3]
summary: Samurai is rapidly gaining popularity, despite being relatively new to the industry. The group leader and vocalist, Johnny Silverhand, quickly became a heartthrob, furtherly increasing the band's reputation. But their path to money and fame can’t be too easy. Banzai Riot, another fresh Night City band, is gaining fans just as quickly as Samurai, and is led by an enigmatic girl known as "V". As both bands soar in popularity, their rivalry (or rather rivalry between the leaders) escalates, fueled by a one-of-a-kind opportunity – Battle of the Bands competition with a three-year contract from Universal Recording as the grand prize. Will they jump down each other's throats first chance they get, or will they find a common ground amidst their shared journey to success?
pairing: Johnny Silverhand/V
word count: 4,4k
Chapter II ->
Chapter I – Get in gonk, we’re going to get famous!
In the waking world, where reality's gleam, I long for the man from my nightly dream. When I try to reach, he fades from my sight, Leaving me alone in the quiet night.
In the first rays of light I whisper his name, But he's vanished, like…
Like, uh… Like…
Fuck.
“Writer's block again?”
V stopped scribbling and looked up at Raf from her notebook. “Yeah,” she ran a hand through her ruffled hair. “I… It's just, like, my brain is playing hide-and-seek and I’m losing every fucking round. Fucking pisses me off.”
She tried to break through that creative barrier for the past hour, while ignoring both the loud music playing in the background and the lively banter of her bandmates gathered around their favorite booth at El Coyote Cojo. This rickety old thing had seen it all and was marked by years of their spilled drinks, drumstick banging and even jack-knife carvings on the tabletop, for which they got an earful from Pepe couple years back.
V was mindlessly running her fingers along the gashes, cursing under her breath. Seeing her frustration, Raf sighed heavily into his beer and took a sip. “I think you just need to chill, you know? Take it easy. Clear your head.”
“Ooor, you know,” Nova smirked. ”Fuck what he said and let’s start a good ol’ bar brawl and see where the night takes us. That will give you some inspiration.”
“Yeah, ‘cause I need another fucking charges on my record,” V snorted, looking into her friend's pink optics. “Plus, Mamá would kill me if I blew up in her bar again.”
“I’m not saying here. I‘m saying, like, in general.”
“Maybe don’t say anything else, how ‘bout that?” Raf sighed again.
V just rolled her eyes at them. Like fire and water, Nova and Raf were total opposites. Nova thrived on chaos. She was beautiful, loud, and was always drawing attention wherever she went. Even though she was a big softie on the inside, Nova had an unapologetic attitude and was a force to be reckoned with. Raf on the other hand was the epitome of calm and collected for most of the time, but behind his composed exterior hid a batshit crazy madness. Sometimes, when his rational façade would crack, he’d dive headfirst into the unknown just for the giggles. He was also, as the only guy in the band, just a baby.
She equally loved and hated them sometimes.
“What about that new track you've been working on, V?” Misty chimed in and started humming. “The one with the killer riff?”
“Ah, that one,” V sipped her beer. "Well, I have a track with no lyrics. Nothing we will make outta this.”
“We can say it’s a ballad and call it a day.”
A drink almost flowed out of V’s nose when she snorted.
“Yea, I don’t think that would be enough, Mist.”
Nothing was ever enough anymore, it sometimes seemed. Ever since they started taking music seriously, nothing had been the same.
At first, it had all been just for fun – they had been just a pack of raggedy teens who tried to find a way to blow off some steam in a safer way then jumping into gang life or ending up as dorphers. It started in abandoned garages or basements with klepped equipment and no skills. Their learning stage had been laughable at best, but it was better than wandering the streets looking for trouble. They honed their skills, at first getting somewhat good and then better and better each day. They began to realize that their music held a power beyond mere entertainment. It was their way to escape the reality for a while. It even became a lifeline in the darkest of times.
Then, slowly but surely, a shy idea rooted in their minds that maybe, just maybe, they could turn their passion into something more. Sometimes they dared to dream of a future where music was not just a hobby, but a way of life.
In the beginning they ignored these silly dreams, thinking they were too big for their own good. However, over time, they managed to convince one or two owners of second-rate pubs to let them play here and there. Then they even got the courage to ask Mamá Welles if they could play at the Coyote and to their delight, she agreed right away. “I thought you'd never ask,” she even said. To their even bigger delight, after their little gig, she told them that they should think of it more seriously. And that was it. For the first time they really thought the idea through and made their decision.
The legends of this city.
And now, here they were, stuck in one place, trapped in the shadows of their own ambition. They still had almost no name, no money, and in their minds, no prospects in a city where everyone wants to be a legend. They were getting somewhat recognizable locally, but it was too little and too slow. They all knew that their path to a breakthrough would be rocky, but come on. Not that rocky.
Still, they were refusing to let their dreams die. They may have been naive back then, when they made that decision, but now? Now they knew that they were meant for something more. They may not have been the most fortunate, but they had their passion, their perseverance, and, most importantly, the unbreakable bond that held them together. Which was cringe if V thought about it long enough, but she wasn’t one to denied it.
And as V reflected on those formative years, she couldn't help but smile at the memory of the innocent teens with stars in their eyes. They persisted despite the hardships, living hand-to-mouth, with empty pockets but unbroken spirits. They poured their hearts into every chord, every lyric, clinging to the hope that someday, their determination would pay off. They just needed to do better and be better. Better than anyone else.
So no, V didn’t think that leaving their song at “ballad” stage would be enough.
“Alright, V,” Raf placed a hand on her shoulder, his voice soft but firm. “Show me the stuff.”
“It’s not finished,” V stated, trying to hide her notebook away.
“And it will never be finished if you’ll keep gatekeep us, you gonk.”
This time it was V who sighed. Even though Raf was (usually) right, she would never admit it out loud. Fucking smartass. She handed him her notebook.
As Raf flipped through the pages, he nodded or shook his head while reading her never finished lyrics. V was on the edge of her seat, waiting for his take. When he finally got to the latest part, he laughed.
“The man from my nightly dream? Who the fuck you writing about?”
“Not your fucking business, that’s who,” V scowled, snatching the notebook from his hands.
“Hey, I’m not saying it’s bad. I’m saying it’s a bit corny.”
“Then you write something, funny guy,” V rolled her eyes. “You are all trash today, seriously. Maybe except Misty.”
She wasn’t going to count the silent one, Prime, as she was baked out of her mind in the corner of their booth, as usual, not bothering anyone.
“Why thank you,” Misty smiled. “And don’t listen to them. Writer's block is just another hurdle in the vast maze of creativity. Take a step back, breathe in the chaos of the world around you, and let it fuel your imagination. Night City wasn't built in a day, and neither is a masterpiece. Just trust your abilities, trust the process, and you'll be back in the zone before you know it.”
A small smile spread on V’s lips. Misty, always the sweetheart, was her forever favorite addition to the band.
“Thanks Mist. You’re seriously an angel.”
“I know,” she smiled sweetly. “Maybe I should give you a reading?”
“Eh, not today,” she drank rest of beer in one gulp. “You will pull out The Fool card and my mood will be ruined.”
“V, I told you hundred times now, The Fool card does not-“
“Yeah, yeah, it does not mean I’m the fool, I know. Still doesn’t make me feel any better when you pull it out every single time,” she murmured under her breath, suddenly irritated at the stupid card. Misty only giggled and pat V’s head.
“Is there any way to make your mood better then?”
“Yeah. I need another drink.”
As if on cue, Jackie appeared on the top of the stairs, walking towards their table with a tray full of beers, smiling widely.
“Hola fuckers. And Misty.”
“Jackie, my man!” Raf greeted him with a grin, sliding over to make room for him. “Finally missed us enough to crawl out of a studio?”
The man in question shot a quick glance at Misty and V tried to hide the smirk, though unsuccessfully, when she saw her friend blush.
“Maybe a bit,” he placed the tray on the table and sat next to Raf, stretching out on the bench. “But I come with big news and you’re going to lose your minds.”
“We’ll see. What do you have?” V nodded at him, already reaching out for a beer.
Jackie placed a flyer on the table. “A chance for you to finally make a name. Music contest.”
“Music contest?” Nova frowned and leaned in to take a better look at the brochure. “Like a talent show for kids at school?”
V silently agreed with the comparison. In her mind's eye, she couldn't shake the image of over-the-top judges acting like they know shit, fumbled mediocre performances and uninterested applause. They would most probably end up as some kind of puppets, doing mere sideshow for the amusement of others.
“Hey, don’t insult me, chica. I wouldn’t have come to you with this if it was not legit. This isn’t some dive bar competition, it’s an opportunity, a big one. And, it’s in Afterlife,” Jackie wiggled his eyebrows.
Afterlife? The Afterlife, a cornerstone of Night City's underground music scene? And, sure, mercenary work offered by first-rate fixers, or whatever, since lines between the criminal underworld and the artsy trades somehow got really blurry there, but dude. The music scene. Everyone who wanted to become someone dreamed about Afterlife. This was where real deals were made.
Well. V could re-consider being a puppet if it takes place in the Afterlife.
“So… It is legit?”
“Por supuesto. At least check it.”
Nova reached for the flyer with a heavy sigh and read it quickly. “Batlle of the Bands, yada yada, big opportunity for newbie bands- newbie? I ain’t a newbie, it’s you guys who are amateurs.”
“Just fucking read it Nova,” Raf grimaced.
“Fine, Christ. The competition will consist of presentation and three phases, yada yada yada, oh, OHH!” She exclaimed excitedly and sat on her knees. “The winner will sign a three-year contract with Universal Recording. Guys, Universal Recording! It really is legit!”
“What did I just say?” Jackie rolled his eyes.
“Yeah, yeah. But seriously, we've been playing gigs at crappy joints for too long. This really could be our big break.”
“Where did you even heard about it, Jackie?” Misty frowned.
“Wakako tipped me off about it,” he shrugged. “Talked with her about you guys copula times, guess she thought it might help you. As soon as she got the detes she let me know. I’m actually surprised that you didn’t already knew about this. Wasn’t Dex supposed to take care of stuff like that? This is a huge deal.”
“Well, Dex is a shitty manager,” V scoffed. “Fucking unbelievable that your cares about us more than our own.”
V met Jackie’s manager a couple of times now. Wakako Okada was a fucking scary woman. Professional and polite, sure, always treating everyone with the same level of respect and courtesy, but she was also reading you like an open book, her piercing gaze seemed to see straight through your core, leaving you feeling exposed and vulnerable. And yet, despite not knowing her very well (and low-key being scared of her), V couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Wakako. She was one of the best in the business, after all, and there was no denying that. If Wakako wasn’t representing solo artists exclusively, and only within the rap and hip-hop genre, V would gladly sell her kidney to afford hiring her. At least Jackie made the cut, and V was really happy that he was able to work with the woman. She let him spread his wings and he was currently recording his first album under her watchful eye. Lucky bastard.
“You seriously should take care of your own biz all the more,” the lucky bastard said.
Guess he was right. They couldn't really deny the allure of this whole shebang. After all, when opportunity like this is literally knocking at their door, they couldn't afford to lose it. Especially if they were left to their own devices. V glanced around at her bandmates with a flicker of hope and was met with excited smiles and silent nods. From all except one since Prime was still spaced out and didn’t say a word since they sat down at the table.
Prime. Always a woman of few words. It might have something to do with her always being stoned, but, as she always said, no one had any proof for that. And she was right, if her constantly bloodshot eyes and the smell of pot that clung to her clothes were not proof enough.
V nudged her lightly.
“Astra? You with us?”
“Huh? Yeah,” Prime blinked slowly, her gaze drifting lazily towards V. “Sup?”
“We have a situation,” V handed her a flyer. “Big shit, big chance. We might even score a record deal. What do you think, we’re in or we’re out?”
Astra took a minute to check out the brochure and nodded slowly. “Oh, hell yeah, we’re in.”
“Really?” V beamed.
“Yeah, dude. That sounds cool,” she focused on the flyer once again and her eyes widened. “Yooo, this in Afterlife? Are we finally hitting the big leagues or sum?”
“That’s the plan, babygirl,” Nova laughed at her stoned enthusiasm.
“Oh, hell yeah, that sound epic.”
“Aight,” V nodded. “Then we just need to get the application and-” she fell silent when she saw Jackie pull application card and a pen from his inside pocket. “The big man thought of everything I see. Thanks Jacks.”
“A sus órdenes, chica,” he saluted mockingly.
“Kay. Guess we’re really fucking doin’ it,” V started to filling up their application with a goofy grin. “Nova, you want to go with full name?”
“Yeah, sure, whatever. Badges don’t have anything on me anymore, I don’t give a shit.”
“Cool, cool,” V quickly finished putting in their detes. “Okay gonks, sign this up and I’m taking it to the Afterlife.”
“I'll tag along,” Raf quipped in, already signing the papers. “I should get going anyway, I have morning shift tomorrow, so I’ll at least keep you company for a while.”
V narrowed her eyes at him.
“You just want me to drive you home afterwards, don’t you?”
“Yup.”
“Fine.”
When the papers were signed and the beers were finished, everyone decided to go their separate ways. Raf wasn't the only one working in the morning after all. The booth cleared and the gang headed downstairs, empty glasses in hand, so that Pepe wouldn't have to clean up after them.
Finding an opportunity, V tugged on Jackies sleeve, pulling him away from the group.
“Will you ever ask her out, Jacks?” V smirked at the man.
Jackie stuttered, tips of his ears turning red at the question.
“Dunno what you’re talking about.”
“Oh really? Well, that’s a shame,” she hummed. “Misty would be thrilled.”
“You think?” his eyes gleamed and V laughed.
“Yea, you gonk. You just need to finally grow your balls,” she punched him on the arm, which he most probably didn’t even felt.
Jackie’s gaze wandered to Misty again. He cleared his throat and nodded, but pushed V to the side when she laughed at him. They said their goodbyes to Pepe and went outside.
“I, uh, I’ll take Prime home,” Nova winked at V with a smirk, which she returned, silently acknowledging their shared mission.
“Right, we should be on our way too. Need to take this pretty girl home.”
“Aw, you think I’m pretty?” Raf batted his eyelashes.
“The prettiest.”
“Prettier than Nova?”
“I heard that!” Nova yelled, already a few steps ahead, tugging Astra along. “You kids be safe. See ya tomorrow.”
V laughed and waved at them, then pointed at Jackie. “See you soon, Jacks?”
“Obviously,” he smiled. “Still have some jobs bagged, waiting for us.”
“I sure hope so. We need to finish them before you’ll be too famous for that,” she hugged him tightly.
“Still have a lot of time,” he ruffled her hair.
With a quick wave to Misty, assuring her she will be home soon, V and Raf made their way to where V's motorcycle was parked nearby, trying to disappear quickly and leave the lovebirds alone. She swung a leg over the back of the bike.
“Hop on, babygirl,” she patted the seat. Raf sat down behind her, but not without rolling his eyes. He wrapped his arms around her waist.
“That’s like, what, twenty minute drive?”
“I’ll make it in fifteen,” V smirked and revved the engine.
They took off, making their way through the streets of Night City, wind whipping through their hair. V weaved through late-night traffic with ease, the scenery shifting from the gleaming towers of the corpo districts to the gritty urban sprawl of the combat zones, flickering streetlights flashing by in a blur. Though the journey was quick, V still sighed sadly when she checked the time after parking the bike in the dark alley. Seventeen minutes.
They made their way inside and paused briefly to explain to the security guy why they were here. He nodded in acknowledgment before directing them to the bartender. As they stepped further into the bar, V felt a thrill of excitement going down her spine. Just being here was enough for her to feel less stuck and more hopeful about their future. They reached the bar and she smiled at the woman.
“Hey.”
“Hi. What can I getcha?”
“Rather, what we can get you. Application for the Battle of the Bands,” Raf flashed his charming smile at the woman, while V pulled out their application.
“Alright kids,” she smirked and reach out. “Let me just check the papers real quick, can't ignore the drill.”
She took the application from V’s hand, took a moment to glance over it, her expression thoughtful. Then, with a nod of approval, she returned it to them.
“Looks good to me. Now I just need the entry fee and you’re good to go.”
“Entry fee?” Raf’s smile faded.
“Yup. There’s always a catch,” she tapped at the bottom of the papers. Both V and Raf looked down.
NOTE: entry fee – 3,500 ed
V huffed and rubbed at her eyebrow nervously. Nova and her fucking reading comprehension.
“Shit. Just… Just gimme a minute, okay? I need to make a call.”
“Who you callin’?” Raf frowned.
“Dex. We ain’t gonna pay from our own pocket, he’s the fucking manager, he need to manage,” she moved away from the bar and headed towards the exit.
“Whoa, wait then, I need to hear you chewing him out,” he laughed and winked at Claire. “We’ll be right back.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Claire chuckled and shook her head to herself as they made their way out. They were kinda adorable, she had to admit, with wide eyes but still exuding self-confidence. With a little smirk on her face, Claire got back to polishing the countertop as out of the corner of her eye she noticed a tall figure in leather jacket approaching the bar. She let out a resigned sigh.
“What now?”
“Those two that left, did I just saw them submitting an application?”
“Yup. Seems like they're gearing up to give you a run for your money."
“Lemme see their papers, huh?”
“You know I can’t do that, Johnny.”
“I know, but you have a soft spot for me,” he smiled sweetly.
“I do not.”
“And for me?” a second guy approached them.
“Don’t get involved, Kerry, you’re supposed to be the reasonable one.”
Kerry shrugged. “We’re just curious.”
When the woman rolled her eyes, Johnny whined.
“C’mooon, lemme see, I’ve been a good boy today.”
“The day hasn't ended yet,” she raised her eyebrow. He took it as a challenge.
“You poked the bear, Claire,” he snatched the documents before she could stop him.
"Johnny, I said no!" the woman exclaimed, her tone sharp with anger, but it was already too late. He quickly scrutinized the papers, narrowing his eyes, when he saw something he did not wanted to see.
Banzai Riot V – lead vocals, rhythm guitar Lara “Nova” Foster – lead guitar, vocals Rafael Gupta – bass Misty Olszewski – violin Astra Prime – drums
“So?” Kerry urged him. “Who are they?”
Johnny clenched his jaw and showed him their info. Kerry glanced at it, his eyes getting wider.
“The fuckers from Banzai?”
“Apparently.”
He heard about them, of course he did. A new band on the rise, slowly gaining fans and momentum, just like Samurai. Making a name was already hard enough when you're fighting for it with no opponents, but when do you add another young and dynamic team to the race? One that is similar in style, on top of it? Nightmare. It was one thing to compete against other bands, but to go head-to-head with a group that was basically their mirror image was not fucking good. Johnny knew that in the cutthroat world of the music industry, standing out was crucial. But now, with those motherfuckers in the scene, it was going to be so much fucking harder to achieve.
Kerry’s voice got him out of his head.
“Shit, they're coming. Put it back!”
Johnny quickly put the papers back in their place and turned around, nonchalantly leaning on the left side of bar with his elbows, his back to those little fuckers. Kerry, similarly, looked the other way, but both of them strained their ears to get any details about their rivals. Claire rolled her eyes at them.
“Kay, can send you the eddies now,” said the girl rather happily, her eyes glowing with blue.
“Okay, got it. From… V?”
“Yep.”
Oh, so she is the leader. She most certainly didn’t look like one, Johnny thought, barely holding back a snort. A sly grin tugged at the corners of his lips instead, as he processed the newfound information. With long basketball shorts, ripped tank top and checked shirt tied around her waist she hardly looked the part of a rock star. She looked more like someone you'd find shooting hoops at the local court than leading a fucking hardrock band.
As Johnny's mind wandered, Claire's distant voice slowly pulled him back from his thoughts. He blinked, refocusing his attention on the scene unfolding behind his back.
"… your own equipment, ‘cause the sounding is on us. Other than that, you’re all set.”
“Thanks Claire,” he heard the guy’s voice. “Appreciate it, really.”
“No prob. Guess we will see each other often over the next few weeks, so there will be an occasion to say it again, but still good luck.”
“Thanks,” the girl, V, said, and he could hear a smile in her voice. “See ya around, then.”
“See you,” Claire watched them go and when they were out of the earshot, she narrowed her eyes at Johnny and Kerry. “Enjoyed your eavesdropping?”
“Wasn’t even listening to that bubbly little bitch,” Johnny scoffed, turning around to face her again. “Can you fix me a drink?”
The bartender shook her head in disbelief but relented, reaching for a glass and a bottle of tequila. She poured him a new one, which he accepted with quick thanks and returned to his table, Kerry hot on his heels.
“That chick was their vocalist, did you gathered that?”
Kerry glanced at him, a puzzled expression crossing his face. "Huh? Oh, uh, yeah, I guess.”
“You guess? The fuck you mean?”
“I dunno, man,” Kerry shrugged, his gaze wandering back to the direction where their competition disappeared. “Was more focused on checking out the guy she was with.”
“Dumbass,” Johnny groaned. “Well, while you were busy checkin’ out the gonk, I was busy listenin’. Turns out, that chick is the one callin’ the shots."
Kerry's eyes widened in surprise, his attention finally fully focused on Johnny's words. "Seriously?” When he was met with Johnny’s uh-huh, he hummed. “Damn, she sure is unobtrusive,” he thought in silence for a while, but couldn’t suppress a twinge of doubt gnawing at his gut. His brow furrowed with worry. “Think we should be worried?”
"Please, they've got nothing on us. We've got this in the bag," Johnny said, downing his Tequila Old Fashioned.
Sure. They had it in the bag. One hundred percent.
Or, if he was really honest with himself, ninety nine percent.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They stepped out of the bar, their laughter echoed through the dark alley as they made their way back to V’s bike. Raf grinned, his eyes shining with excitement.
“Can you fucking believe it? We have a fucking golden ticket to the Major Leagues!”
“I know,” V smiled, fishing a cigarette from her back pocket. She lit it with a flick of her lighter and took a long drag. “And call me fucking crazy, but I think we stand a chance.”
“Are you kidding? We've got this in the bag, V!”
She smiled at his enthusiasm. He was right. He was fucking right, they could totally score this. All they needed was determination, which they had, confidence, which they had, and a talent, which they obviously also had.
A bit of luck would be also welcome, but to the hell with it – they were working hard for the success and they will succeed. Right now, they just needed to focus, work hard and show all them gonks something good. Something memorable and spectacular. Something…
“Aww, shit.”
“What?”
“Now I really need to think of a new song.”

Cyberpunk: Twin Flames - Ch 5
A SilverV fic
Linked psyches. That was Alt's solution for them. Two bodies -- their own bodies. But souls and minds still intertwined -- feeling each other's pain and emotions. Never too far away, never far behind.
There could never be one without the other.
______________________________________________________
I just posted my fifth chapter of my Johnny Silverhand/Fem!V fic over on my AO3. If you are interested in reading, I have put a snippet below. You can also read the rest of my fic over on AO3!
______________________________________________________
“You nervous?”
V flashed Johnny a look. He knew exactly how she felt — not like she was trying to hide it anyways. Her fingers were twitching on the steering wheel as she followed behind Teddy’s dirty van the next morning. The suspension on her truck groaning with the desert hills. She squinted from the sun beating down through her windshield, keeping her eyes on the dirt road. “Just trying to figure out what I’m going to say to Panam.
“She’s a smart girl. She’ll figure it out pretty fast once she sees me.”
Her mouth twitched. “I guess.”
“At least she already knew about me, right?” The Rockerboy shrugged.
“Yeah…” V was grateful when the cat was out of the bag with Panam. It was pretty hard to hide it after she’d almost got zeroed by the relic in front of her. But it was a weight off her shoulder regardless, having to not hide it — to be able to speak about Johnny to someone who didn’t know him from before like Rogue and Kerry. “You never told me how Misty and Vik reacted to you.”
His dark brows furrowed as he thought back, “I mean — they just accepted it.”
“Really?”
“You were flatlining in my arms V,” He said gruffly, his mood souring as he recalled that night just a month ago.
She grimaced, “Right.”
“I mean — Vik definitely fuckin’ hates me." He sucked his teeth, "Not sure if it’s ‘cause he has such a hard on for you or because he’s old enough to actually remember what a bastard I was—“
She cut him off, taking her eyes off of the road to flash him a look, “Vik doesn’t have a hard on for me.”
He arched his brow, scoffing at her. “The innocent act is getting old V,”
“It’s not a fuckin’ act," Her nostrils flared, "You thinking every single person who I talk to wants to get in my pants — that’s getting old.”
He scoffed again, staring out the the window and avoiding V’s eyes, “Sure,”
“Vik is family — he’s saved my ass more then anyone else I know.”
He rolled his dark eyes as he looked back over at her, “And why do you think he does that V? Out of the goodness of his heart?”
“At first, yeah. But now—“
Johnny finally looked back at her, shaking his head. “Nobody’s that good, princess. Everyone’s got a reason for doing something.”
Her back molars clicked together, her mouth forming a hard line. “Way to see the silver lining in everything, Silverhand.”
She felt a flash of heat, anger course through her — his anger. “Just drop it, V.”
“Can’t just order me to stop talkin’ about it—“
“I don’t want to anymore.”
“Well I do!" V raised her voice, tired of him controlling the conversation. "What’s your deal with him? Vik’s my family Johnny, I owe him a fuckin’ lot. And now the most important person in my life, is fuckin’ huffing and puffing because apparently the only possible way anyone could want anything to do with me is to get into my goddamn pants.”
“Fine." He spat, "You wanna know why am I’m mad?”
“Yes.”
He twisted in the passenger seat, moving his body so it was completely facing her. Both his metal and 'ganic hand flinging in the air as he spoke animatedly. “I’m fucking mad because how well he knows you. I hate him and Misty and Panam, all of your stupid fucking friends. Because they know you.”
Her blue eyes were darting between him and the dirt road ahead, “What are you talking about, Johnny? No one knows me better than you.”
“Yeah because of the fuckin’ chip, V.” His voice turned quiet, soft. Uncertainty waving off of him.
Her eyebrows met in the middle, a hard line forming between them. “That’s not true.”
“The chip’s what gave me access to your head.”
“Johnny… I’ve told you things I’ve never told anyone." She blindly reached across, grabbing onto his leg for a moment. "Not even Jack. Tell that green monkey on your back to fuck off, kay?”
He stayed silent, processing, before nodding at her.
Her face turned serious, a flicker of anger shimmering in her eyes before it disappeared again. “And even if someone does want to get in my fucking pants, doesn’t mean I’m gonna let them.”
Johnny’s face softened, “Right.” He looked out through the side window for a moment before turning back to her, “Most important person in your life hey?”
“Oh shut up,” She smirked, before turning her eyes back to the road — searching for Teddy's van again.
“Jackie knew you pretty well. And fast.” He said simply, eyes studying her.
Her bottom lip quivered at the mention of his name, “You spend every waking moment with someone bound to happen. Chip or not.”
They both knew it was a sensitive thing to bring up. Something that they never touched on, hadn't ever really got near. She'd never gotten anytime to really think on it. To grieve Jackie, to miss him. It was a hole that they'd both watched get bigger and bigger in her for some time. So big now, neither of them really knew how to approach it.
“Sorry I’ll never get to meet him.”
Instant tears welled in her eyes, but she kept them glued to the windshield, “Me too.” She croaked, her voice breaking and a couple tears snuck out, rolling down her checks.
“Hey—“ His dark eyes were crinkled with guilt, as he felt a crack of pain in his chest — just an echo of what was happening in her. He reached out and pressed soothing fingers on her wrist. “Picked the wrong topics today. I’m sorry.”
“S’okay.” She whispered back.
He intertwined his fingers through hers, before pulling them towards him. He placed a soft kiss on her knuckles.
V wasn’t sure she’d ever seen him touch so softly.
You can finish the rest of this chapter, or read my whole fic on AO3!

He had known some things about V without asking: he had known about Konpeki Plaza; Jackie Welles; what Jackie and Misty and Viktor had meant to V, his friends at the end of his corpo world; his fascination with the Blackwall.
But there’s one thing he hadn’t known, until it had been too late--and it had been that V had thought he had had nothing to go back to, not without Johnny.
--
or, there's only one motel by the border; the bus for arizona leaves in the morning; and johnny's got all the time in the world to kill.
(takes place right after the temperance ending)

Share Your Toys | SilverV
Synopsis: V buys something new and odd and Johnny doesn't want to participate. All until he needs to show V just how to use.
Word Count: 2.1K
Genre: Smut
Pairing: Johnny Silverhand/Male!V
Warnings: nsfw/anal/dildo/sex toy/masturbation/degrading/slut shaming
Notes: I know I've only done one cyberpunk fic in the past. But I have this one and one more planned to post haha. I'm here for the male!v x johnny enjoyers
Tumblr media
Does he feel a little ashamed buying one? No… Maybe. Just a lil. They had peaked his interest when he had spotted one, but he had much more pressing matters on hand.
So, here he is, with a six-inch dildo in hand.
It’s odd looking. It’s thicker at the tip than it is at the base. Being an ombre from a pink on the bottom to a pastel blue to the tip, it’s almost alien looking. With ridges on the underside that poke out a fair bit, V already knows this is going to be an odd sensation. Something funky to use to get his mind off of current things.
“There’s no way in fuck we’re sticking that thing up your ass,” Johnny snaps from the couch.
V sighs a gruntle noise. He tries to ignore Johnny but the rockstar taps his foot on the ground. He looks up to Johnny finally with a raised brow. He sits on the edge of his bed in only an old t shirt -one that use to be an outdoor shirt but slowly turned into a pj shirt with all the holes and grease stains in it. He sets the dildo on the bed next to him with another sigh.
“We?” V asks.
“Yes, we,” Johnny bites back. “I can feel everything you feel to an extent. And tonight, or any other, I don’t think I’m in the mood to have that thing shoved up my ass,” he says as he points to the dildo with a silver finger.
“You’ve never taken a dick before?” V mocks as he scoots up on his bed.
He makes himself comfortable and brings a bottle of lube with him in hand. Johnny leans back on the couch with his legs crosses over one another. He pushes his aviators up back to cover his eyes. The red glass reflects V on the bed, laid back with his shirt pooled over his crotch and thighs.
“I said I don’t want that,” Johnny grits out.
V rolls his eyes. “Just, leave me alone and I’ll forget you’re ever here. Go to whatever corner of my brain you normally go to when you don’t like something. It’s still my body, so I can do what I want and put whatever the hell I want in it.”
Johnny stares at V for a moment longer and for a split second, the merc feels very exposed. The rocker has seen everything before. Has done stuff to him before. But right now, the look he’s receiving is something different. Then, without a word, Johnny disappears in a glitch of blue and red static.
Good. Now he can continue in peace and use sex for a moment to forget about how shit life is.
-
Getting the first inch in is a struggle. Even with a lot of prep and a lot of lube, the tip is a tad thick. The stretch is a little overwhelming as V opens his legs out a bit further. He works himself little by little, letting the ridges of the fake cock rub up inside of him.
“You’re going to hurt yourself.”
V stops all so that he can glare at the disturbance standing over him at the side of his bed. He’s gotten so use to Johnny popping up randomly that when he does, it doesn’t phase him at all now.
The rocker’s arms are crossed over his chest and he still wears those red aviators. He can see himself in them again. Legs apart, dick half hard between with a large cock spreading him open. And all Johnny does is frown.
V moves the dick, pushing it a little further into himself and watches Johnny’s face. And when the rocker’s face scrunches up into a scowl, soon followed by a shaky, quiet exhale that is a clear indication he’s trying to hide his reaction, V can only smirk.
As cockily as he can say with a cock up his ass, the merc grins, “How should I be doing it then?”
Johnny’s scowl only deepens. Yet, he disappears from where he’s standing and reappears in a wave of glitches and static in front of V. Bent over and looking over him without his aviators. Dark, brown eyes stare him that hold something dangerous.
Without a word, Johnny takes control of V’s spare arm and grabs a pillow behind him. He shoves it under V’s back that has the merc rolling his eyes. The pillow trick? Really?
“I can’t believe you’ve got me doing this,” Johnny grumbles under his breath.
“You’re the one that hopped in yourself, I could have done this on my own,” V interjects.
Johnny covers V’s hand that holds onto the base of the fake cock. “And have a shit time because you’re taking too long? I’d rather not sit back and have to experience that.”
“But you’d rather experience a misshaped dildo up my ass?”
Johnny only frowns at that, his brows furrowing together. Hard enough that it brings creases to his forehead and brings out his crow’s feet.
With a hard push, one that V wouldn’t have deemed himself ready, the cock is pushed halfway in. V throws his head back against the bed. The ridges of the dildo rub up against the part inside of him that makes everything tingle. The painful stretch of the cock has him trying to catch his breath. But it’s a pain that is welcome. Has him buzzing.
The thickness of the first half has him already feeling full. The ridges on the underside of the dildo rub up against all the good parts inside of him that adds to the dizziness in his head. He breathes heavily, soft whines hitching his throat as Johnny moves the cock inside of him before he can get use to the feeling. Slowly pulling out before pushing in where it was before. And God it feels so good. It has him gripping the sheets with his other hand, the other being held down by Johnny.
The rockstar lifts one of V’s legs up and props it over his shoulder so that he can settle in closer. V looks to Johnny through slitted eyes and the look on the rocker’s face only turns him on more.
Johnny’s mouth is parted, and he breathes in sync with V. Each time he pushes the cock inside of V, each time a little deeper, each time hitting his prostate, Johnny shivers and pants. The blue of the cock all but disappears into V’s ass, leaving only the pink half to take down. God he’s quickly enjoying this as much as V is. Who knew the rockstar could have a little fun.
Being trapped on a biochip must do that to someone though. But by whatever God there is, is it hot to see Johnny become a little desperate. He’s so focused on the fake cock that his own hips move in sync faintly.
Johnny growls, -something that V never expected to hear- and pushes the rest of the cock inside of V. It slips in easily, the base being narrower than the first half. And everything feels like it short circuits inside of V, as if his cyberware doesn’t know what’s happening. His back arches as he groans deep within his throat. The cock is so wide and girthy it stretches him greatly. It makes him feel full and has him twitching. Each movement has the ridges grinding up inside of him and each time that happens, a small hiccup of moans are forced from his mouth. He can’t help himself. This feeling is wild and he’s glad that he bought this.
Johnny on the other hand. He’s bent over V trying to catch his own breath. He doesn’t need to breath but it bloody feels like he can’t intake air. Every time V moves and shifts, a wave of pleasure pulses through Johnny that has him shivering and twitching. He can feel himself grow hard in his leather pants. He’s not meant to be into this but by god does it feel great.
He catches his breath before pulling cock out of V to the tip, the sweet sound of moans and groans coming with it. With a forceful push, he shoves the entire six inches back into the merc, the blue disappearing along with the pink. And there it is again, the wave of pleasure and tingles from V that has Johnny shivering and groaning deep in his chest.
He begins slowly pumping the fake cock inside of V, revelling in the raw feelings and sensations that come from the merc’s end. He can feel V’s pain and those friendly pats to his shoulders from strangers. All of those are faint, like passing by a soft blowing vent. But this, this has Johnny’s head spinning and his code glitching.
V other hand comes back down to stroke his hardening dick. He grinds his teeth together at how overstimulating such a simple touch is. God he’s not going to last much longer if Johnny keeps this up. Especially with the pace quickening with every pass of his prostate.
Johnny begins panting loudly as he quickens the pace. Each time it fills V up in the right places and stretches him a little painfully. But that sting is something that feels so good. He matches his stroke on his dick with Johnny, letting him take the full reigns even though he knew he was fucked when the rocker popped back up again to make his comments.
V gets lost in everything, letting his mind go to this moment right now. Forgetting about everything that’s fucked him over in life. Johnny pushes the cock fully in and lets it sit there for a moment. All so he can swat V’s hand off his dick and replace it with his own. The feeling of Johnny’s metal hand on his dick is cold and brings a harsh gasp out of his mouth.
V meets dark brown eyes that stare at him. There’s something different there that the merc can’t quite place. Maybe because he’s having trouble reciting the alphabet or he’s completely forgotten what day it is. His mind is a jumble. But he knows that that dark look within those eyes is something akin to…
“You’re such a slut, you know that?” Johnny quips in between his own panting.
And there it is. Johnny’s comments. Why should V be surprised?
“Yeah and-“ The comeback V was going to make is lost as Johnny moves the dildo inside of him.
He grinds it into him shallowly, letting it rub up against everything inside and makes his entire gut and head to buzz. And in time with the movement, he strokes V’s dick, his thumb flicking and rubbing over the tip each time strokes up.
V grabs onto the blanket again, still letting Johnny guide his other hand on the fake cock. Everything is going crazy. He can’t help but grunt and whine like a two eddie whore.
“Yeah,” Johnny groans out. “You sound like one too.”
V can feel himself coming closer and closer. If Johnny keeps this same pace, he can get there quickly.
“My little slut, how does that sound?” The words are spoken deeply, gravelly.
And it all goes straight to V’s dick. He cums as if a freight train just hit him. His Kiroshi’s become spotty for a second, the black spots disappearing slowly after a while as his eyes recalibrate. He can’t catch his breath for a moment and when he opens his eyes, Johnny is gone.
For a split second, V feels a bit of panic, but as soon as it comes, Johnny appears back again in a storm of glitches and static. He’s hunched over V with a wide expression upon his normally grouchy features. He pants and shakes. He gulps, trying to collect himself. But whatever V felt, Johnny did as well ten fold it seems.
V slips the alien like dildo out of him with a pop and a groan, and throws it aside on his bed. He’s too worn out to worry about anything other than the rockstar leaning over him.
He reaches up and pats Johnny’s face. The simple touch has brown eyes latching onto V.
“Was it worth it?” V asks.
“No.”
“Not even a little?”
Johnny sits up straight, still kneeling in between V’s legs. He runs a hand down his face and lets his gaze run down the merc’s body. His eyes linger on V’s still leaking cock and the cum splattered over his stomach and tattoos. He’d be wrong if didn’t admit this was all a little hot. It’s all in how V pants and shakes from the orgasm still, his chest and stomach rising rapidly with each breath.
Johnny swallows thickly, his Adam’s apple bobbing on his throat. “A little then, yeah,” He grumbles.
