When Karina sees a thief in the cloud kingdom, she says nothing. After all, she rides the rainbow box to the clouds like the rest of the domestics. When the mohawked thief gives her a wink, she maybe becomes complicit. And maybe she wants to be. After all, these strata dwellers treat her more like a robot (or a piece of candy) than a human. And that wink?
But when the vulture bourn thief and his strange missions threaten not just her work, but her life, the implicates scares the heck out Karina. After all, she's got five sibs to look out for.

"Neon Sorcery" A Cyberpunk 2077 x The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Romance Crossover
When a volatile portal spell goes off-course, Yennefer of Vengerberg is violently torn from the Continent and thrown into the neon-drenched chaos of Night City. Lost in a world of chrome, cyberware, and corporate gods, her magic reacts like a live wire-beautiful, deadly, and hunted by every megacorp hungry for power. Rogue Amendiares, legendary fixer and queen of the Afterlife, has survived Night City by trusting no one. But when a raven-haired sorceress crashes into her world-burning through gangs, netrunners, and corporate lies-Rogue sees more than danger. She sees possibility. Profit. And a spark she can't ignore. Drawn together by a trail that may lead to Ciri-or to a trap woven by something far older-the two women forge a volatile alliance fueled by desire, defiance, and the kind of trust neither thought they'd ever offer again. As the Wild Hunt bleeds into Night City and the streets erupt into war, Yennefer and Rogue must fight as one: steel and sorcery, chrome and chaos. In a city where love is a vulnerability and power is the only currency, they will burn a path through gods, ghosts, and megacorps to claim each other-and their future beneath the neon glow. This story contains adult themes, including queer romance, graphic sensuality, violence, dark fantasy elements, cyberpunk body modification, and emotionally intense power dynamics. Reader discretion is advised. The narrative emphasizes consensual intimacy, complex relationships, and mature subject matter throughout.Complete![[ENG] Ascended Alpha I° - The first King](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/251740470-256-k277185.jpg)
