You grew up with V, running the streets, getting into trouble, watching out for each other. It wasn't too often you found someone you could trust, that would have your backs like each other - but when V introduces you to Viktor Vektor, a boxer turned Ripperdoc, you start to question everything. It's been you and V for so long, the two of you against the world, would you even want that to change? *** Alternate, custom ending. Street kid V. Will have some spoilers for the game but the ending will be somewhat (drastically?) different. Female reader insert. ***

Cyberpunk AU set after the events of the game - You grew up with V, but parted ways when your moving up in the world caused a falling out between the two of you; you hadn't spoken in years. One day your phone rings as her name and face flash across your peripheral, she has a favor to ask: she needs you to help someone through some hard times, let him lay low, stay in one of your spare rooms while he figures some things out. You don't ask too many questions, trusting V's word even with your rocky history. However, when she arrives on your doorstep with an extremely attractive older man with very expensive cyberware, you realize you may have gotten more than you bargained for. Your job is... complicated, and had prepared you for a lot of things, but having Goro Takemura living under the same roof may prove to be the ultimate test.
