Song Title: Goodbye Blue Sky by Pink Floyd
Paring: SilverV, Fem V / Johnny Silverhand
Rating: Mature
Excerpt:
“V, are you okay?” The question caught her off guard. And there was no judgment in his voice. Just… genuine concern. V stared down at the table, then admitted, “If I’m honest? No. Not really.” The waiter returned with their plates, setting down steaming breakfast burritos and hashbrowns. The smell of synth eggs, peppers, and eezycheese hit V instantly, though her stomach still twisted like it wanted nothing. “Eat,” Goro said simply, gesturing to her place before unwrapping his own. V picked at the edge of the tortilla instead, eyes fixed on him. The words slipped out before she could stop herself. “I was with Johnny last night.” Goro paused mid-bite. For a moment, he just studied her, unreadable as ever. Then he nodded once. “I am aware.” V let out a hollow laugh and dropped her gaze. “I don’t know what the hell I’m doing with my life anymore. I want to do this gig with you, I really do. It could make a difference. Might even give Jackie a future in Night City.” Her throat burned. She blinked quickly, refusing to let the tears fall here, now. Goro stayed quiet, watching her with that calm intensity of his. “Last night was the first time I’d seen her in over three weeks.” She dug her nails into her palm. “And Johnny… Johnny wants to leave. Join up with the Aldecaldos. Thinks the nomad life’s the answer.” Goro’s voice softened fractionally, still measured. “I see. You wish to stay and build here. He wishes to go." "V, you do not have to decide today.” He leaned forward slightly. “We could call off the gig. This mission needs us at full strength.” V looked up at him, eyes with a determined glare. “Goro. I’m in.” Goro waved a hand, dismissive but not unkind. “Fine, then treat it like your last, should you choose.” V hated how much she liked the idea, so she buried it under everything else. She gave him a pointed look. “Goro, I said I’m in.” “Fine.” A faint, almost reluctant twist at the corner of her mouth. “I envy that: the option to leave.” V snorted quietly. “That’s the problem. Everything I’ve survived, everything I’ve built… It’s all been here. Walking away doesn’t feel simple. It feels like cutting off part of myself.” She studied him for a moment. “Do you ever still think about it? Becoming a nomad? I mean, it’s not too late.” He was quiet for a beat, then admitted, “I have no ties here besides you and the crew.” The admission came without flourish. “I will consider the nomad option.” They ate in silence after that, the tension easing just slightly, enough for V to start messing with him about the way he cut his hashbrown into perfect squares before eating. Goro’s faint grunt of disapproval made her grin for the first time that morning. Then the diner’s door creaked open behind her.
media that inspired Waiting for the Sun
Hehe, since this fic has essentially taken over my life, why shouldn't I post about it here on Tumblr? I'll spare the notes on Ao3 and go on a ramble here instead.
Decided to narrow it down to the top 5 influences: Cyberpunk 2077 Edgerunners ⭑ Eraserhead ⭑ Mr. Robot ⭑ Ghost In The Shell ⭑ Taxi Driver
All absolute bangers, definitely worth a watch if you haven't already.
And of course, if you want to see how they filter into my fic, you can check it out on AO3
SPOILERS AHEAD FOR CHAPTERS 1 - 18
☀️ Waiting for the Sun - SilverV fic ☀️
Pairing: Female V / Johnny Silverhand
Rating: Mature
Four months left—that’s all the time V’s got before she flatlines. One last job with Mr. Blue Eyes promises an astronomical payout, but the cost is her life. But in Night City, legends don’t die. They reboot. An older backup of V is uploaded into her body, and she wakes to find Johnny Silverhand not as an engram, but alive and real. A lot can happen in a year—even bringing back dead rockerboys. Or A post-canon Sun Ending fic where Johnny gets a third chance, and V has to pick up the pieces of the life she left behind.
