Summary
V is very interested in a fixer with a horrible haircut. Maybe a little more than interested. That was not part of the plan.
Ex-corpo V struggles with her own mortality, shedding her corpo skin and new feelings for Muamar "El Capitan" Reyes. A race against the chip in her head ensues.
No one said it would be easy, but at least the people she keeps around make it bearable.

Summary
Rising legend and most requested merc in all of Night City, V has accepted that the number of months she has left to live can now be counted on one hand. Minus a couple of fingers.
So, she’s got a plan: blaze her way into legend, earn her spot on the Afterlife menu, and go out with a bang.
(Figuratively, of course. Johnny actually needs the body burns-free after.)But Night City’s fixers have other ideas.
Because while letting your best merc die is usually bad for business… Letting V go?
Turns out that’s just not an option.--------------
Or: V is a stubborn gonk but she is also NC’s fixers' favorite gonk.

Summary
Delamain’s always had V’s back, in every corner of Night City – why should cyberspace fall outside of his service area?
After a failed engram transfer, V’s disembodied sentience is rescued from beyond the Blackwall and safely downloaded onto a partition of Delamain’s AI core, where she must get to grips with a new existence unbound by physical limitations.
But with two powerful digital entities now in residence at Delamain HQ – one of them barely in control, drunk on power, and the other growing alarmingly human – NetWatch is quick to start sniffing around. Delamain and his new Human Relations Advisor must urgently find balance with each other...or risk losing everything.(Can be read standalone or as a continuation of Car No.21)

Summary
V was just a dirtgirl merc from Heywood with big dreams and a sad sack tragic backstory like the rest of them. After losing her best friend and her left arm in a heist gone awry, she's left with nothing but the digital ghost of a long-dead rockerboy trapped on a chip in her head that's slowly killing her.
Suddenly, she's forced to share everything - her mind, her body, her dreams, and his nightmares. As the lines between them start to blur, can they navigate their growing feelings for each other... and find a way to save her before it's too late?
Follows the story of Johnny and V's extremely messy relationship through the game and beyond. Mostly canon compliant with some (okay maybe a lot of) embellishment, especially regarding the endings.

Summary
Your younger self would have killed you if she saw you now. Stepping in your thirties on an almost deserted island, working at the small and only convenience store, if you could even call it that, barely any friends, even less a romantic partner, and the only one you could call a close friend was a man in his late eighties with beginnings of dementia.
But
You couldn't complain, even if it's a small island, you feel safe here. And even if you don't have a ton of friends, you are thankful for the ones you have, who love you for who you are.
It's not the end of the story you wanted, but the story hasn't ended yet
