Advancements in cybernetics have left the lines between man and technology a blur. Enhanced machines were expected to serve the people, until those machines usurped the people.

When the streets surrounding her home erupt into a battlefield between the insurgent cyborgs and the government that wishes to control them, Ellery Kent hadn't thought that she would be considered the enemy. 

But with the one defining feature separating her from the rest- a single, luminescent, blue eye- she finds herself isolated from everything she has ever known, and dependent on a people she once considered far beneath her.

In Case of Rejection by xusnaillig

After the world collapsed, with half the country ravaged by wild fires and the rest divided up into classist sectors made up of whoever is left, Matthew Spender wants nothing more than to go about his life as normally as possible. His father is a prestigious engineer, working for the higher ups, and his mother, a clothes maker, and Matthew is usually shunned at school and by society for the former. Matthew's barely normal existence is shattered when the world around him starts changing with the implementation of new, brutal technologies: converting the living into robot-like machines, and the responsibility falls on his unassuming shoulders to right the wrongs. With his close-knit circle of friends and his iron will, Matthew faces the ultimate test that adolescence presents: how much damage can one teenager really do? // BOOK ONE //

After a catastrophic misfire in Piltover, Jinx finds herself ripped from Zaun and thrown into a dystopian Detroit-a city on the brink of collapse, ruled by crime and corporate greed. Here, Omni Consumer Products privatizes the police force, and a cyborg law enforcer named RoboCop walks the streets, a machine of justice in a world teetering on chaos. Thrown together by circumstance, Jinx and RoboCop form an unlikely partnership: chaos and steel, sparks and precision.

From explosive street battles to quiet moments of reflection, Detroit becomes a new home for a girl who once thrived in chaos-and for a lawman learning what it means to protect with more than just cold metal. Will Sparks and Steel be enough to save the city, or will its shadows finally consume them both?

"Neon Without Wires" Elisabeth Wissenfurth (Lizzy Wizzy) x female AU Story by Chris9417

In an alternate Night City, the infamous V never became a mercenary. Born in the blood-soaked alleys of Heywood's slums, V carries the raw grit of a Streetkid, but a rare genetic condition prevents her from ever receiving cybernetic implants - a cruel irony in a society where progress is flesh-deep. But this limitation becomes her power. V becomes a pop sensation - the only "Natural" singer in Night City - marketed as the last pure human voice. No digital filters. No synth-vocal enhancements. Just unaltered breath, pain, and sound. And in the chrome-drenched world of faux idols, she becomes an icon... and a target. Rogue Amendiares, the Queen of Afterlife, takes V under her wing, not as a fixer, but as a protector. She sees V not as a product, but as a daughter - a rare chance at redemption for the people she couldn't save. Rogue funds her rise, guards her soul, and shapes her career from the shadows. But when Lizzy Wizzy - cyber-sculpted superstar and philosophical narcissist - becomes obsessed with V, the story spirals into a psychological and romantic war between identity, technology, and control. Lizzy wants V. Not just the body. Not just the voice. But the soul untouched by chrome. She wants to understand it. To own it. To love it... if she can. And V? She can't tell if she wants to destroy Lizzy, become her, or be consumed by her.

Turing Test by chicavara

In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part series
