FIRST OFF, I HAVE TO EMPHATICALLY STATE THAT OUTSIDEOF SONG SO MI, I TRUTHFULLY HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT JUDY IS BEST GIRL. She is my favorite LI in the game (not just cause I play FemV and River kinda sucks, either), she's a genuinely fun character. This concept is not meant as a slam at her, it's ultimately a slam at the concept of your partner leaving you while you're in a coma.

So my motivation behind it was, specifically in The Tower/Things Done Changed end, V ends up in a coma, and has all her Cyberware removed. That's bad enough-not being chipped in the Dark Future is... not great.

But worse than that, ANY love interest you have (outside of Kerry, who semi-hints he'll be back after he gets back from being on tour) leaves you while you're in a coma.

Let that sink in.

You're in a coma.

They delta.

Panam GHOSTS your ass, won't even take your calls. After you helped save the leader of her clan. No bigs.

Judy GOES AND GETS MARRIED. This one hurts the worst, since it was HER mainline that got Jackie flatlined and nearly got us zeroed in the first place, and we STOOD BY HER through all that, even helped the Mox/other girls take back Clouds. AND you were there when her damned output... well, did what Evie did (I KNOW you know what I mean /Dex DeShawn voice and if you DON'T know, well... Play the game)

River deltas the fuck out because he "can't look at himself straight," ya know, the guy you helped rescue his nephew and all that fun shit.

Kerry's on tour, and says he'll be back in a couple of months and catch up, it's left ambiguous as to what happens there, but I like to think that he actually keeps his word since ya know, it's FUCKIN' KERRY.

Anyway, as someone who's disabled IRL, that shit REALLY hurt me. Like, a lot (especially Judy). One of my big fears is a partner will leave me because of my health, or because they find me "less than" (V without her chrome)

So I decided to write a Fanfic exploring "What if Song went beyond the Blackwall after the Sun ending (when V blows up Mikoshi), recovers Johnny's Engram, her and Rogue find Johnny's body still on ice, repair the damage from when Smasher sawed him in half with his shotgun (YAY SANDY SPINES LIKE DAVID), and basically Slot the Shard?"

So story is set 2 years after Cyberpunk 2077's MSQ, Johnny is alive, and the whole thing is about Him and Rogue, Him and *V*, V and Song, and V getting to tell Judy how she feels about being left while she was in a coma.

AGAIN I CANNOT STATE ENOUGH JUDY IS (second) BEST GIRL, I LOVE HER TO DEATH, AND IF I CONTINUE WRITING IN THIS UNIVERSE HER AND V WILL BE GETTING BACK TOGETHER.
