Summary
i know this whole damn city thinks it needs you, but not as much as i do
Johnny wakes up in the head of a delusional merc who reminds him far too much of himself. They have a lot of shit to figure out before one or both of them flatlines.
Or,
A series of inter-connected drabbles from Johnny's POV that are (mostly) canon-compliant.She’s him but better. A sniper rifle to his bomb. And really, he should count himself lucky to have ended up in her head. It could’ve been worse. A lot worse.

Summary
Kerry doesn’t even clean his own house, so he’s not entirely sure how he ends up with a battered box from under her desk filling up with empty bottles.
Johnny and V are gone, leaving Kerry to pick up the mess.
This is post-canon & sort of a second epilogue to Last of a Dying Breed. It should probably be read after that, but you can read it as a stand-alone if you want to.

Summary
The shape changes, but the nightmares are all the same for her. Always losing him.
This is post-canon for Last of a Dying Breed. It was originally going to be part of a sequel but now it isn't part of that but I still want to share it.

Summary
“Johnny doesn’t believe in soul mates. What he does believe is that their engrams would know each other anywhere. They’re written into each other’s code now. Digital souls tied together.”
One year after destroying Mikoshi and Arasaka. One year after taking that leap beyond the Blackwall together.
V and Johnny wake up in bodies that aren’t their own, in a city that hasn’t changed all that much. Familiar faces and familiar struggles quickly push them into another race against time.This is a post-canon sequel to Last of a Dying Breed and will make a lot more sense if read after that. You don’t need to have read the other two side stories in the series.
