SilverV Recommended Reading
Wanted to do a post where I share some of my all-time favorite multi-chapter SilverV fics, in no particular order. Highly recommend checking all of these out, as well these authors' other work! I stg this fandom has some crazy talented writers.
- cut loose (before it gets late) - cherrykiss Literally cannot recommend this one highly enough!!!! Set post-game, Johnny has his body back, but V is still dying. It's about Johnny and V getting together and is wonderfully painful and incredibly fun. Read this one, you will NOT regret it.
- Run To You - JaneOfTheChoir Also set post-game, Johnny has his body back. Featuring Ambrosia, a Nomad V. The main plot involves her being kidnapped. Still in the early chapters, but an extremely exciting start!!!
- Smoke and Retribution - madelinek Another one of my absolute favorites. This one is an AU where V is a popular musician during the same years as Samurai, and she enlists Johnny's help in getting out of her record deal with Arasaka. Really really fun and spicy!
- Cyberpunk 2003: Never Fade Away - bubble_bones Another AU where V is alive during Johnny's time, but in this one, she's a fan who meets him after a show (and loses her virginity to him lol). It's the first part of a series, so if you dig it, there's PLENTY more where it came from!
- Phantom Touch - teeterss This one is a new one that just started posting recently, but it's such a strong, promising start and I personally am very excited to see where it goes, so I'm including it on this list! Follows the story of the game but doesn't rewrite or include scenes from the game.
- Can You Feel The Sun? - heartofsnark This one follows the story of the game and features a V named Aidan, the author's deaf OC. Top tier Johnny banter and dialogue in this one, and a super unique and fleshed out OC if that's your thing!
- Feedback Loop - Cantique Covers the story of the game, also heavily features a V/Takemura romance. A classic for a reason! Also, there's a sequel.
- Take Me Home - KettleBlack This one focuses more on River/V than Johnny/V, but still goes on this list for being EXCELLENT. This one really stuck with me and remains one of my all-time faves.
- Do You Dream of Me? - ruruie If you've read my fic you know I am a SUCKER for dream tropes. This fic is a reimagining of the Devil ending and it absolutely ruined my life in the best way. Features a corpo V. Highly recommend!
- The Rebel Path - elf_trash And last but hopefully not least, this one is mine!!! Covers the events of the game and beyond, including a rewrite of the endings and a fix-it. Features Vero, my street kid goblin daughter and has a Kerry/V romance arc as well. Very angsty, you've been warned.
Do yourself a favor and click on these links you won't regret it!!!
reblogging this again bc I feel like Edgerunners has brought a new influx of fans to the game and y'all should read some good soup
