So This Is Just Me In Major Denial Still Over The Ending Of CP77 But Does Anyone Else Have A "fuck You,

So this is just me in major denial still over the ending of CP77 but does anyone else have a "fuck you, V lives" AU? I know lots of you do.

But I just wanted to share mine because I both find great comedic potential and angst in it.

So imagine this: after the devil ending, V gets 6 months to live, right? But what if it just turns out that Arasaka did what Arasaka does so well and just straight-up lied?

We know saburo has a very low opinion of V and makes assumptions about them in general. So what if they just thought they'd drink and party themself to death, thinking their time was about to anyway?

That's where my AU goes, and since, of course, I'm a Takemura lover, its only serves to stand that he would be given a rude awakening at their presence.

Imagine it: it's maybe 2 or so years on, Goro has long assumed V dead and had quietly mourned her (female V in my case) before moving on and settling back into his life. He's accompanying Saburo back to Night City for some kind of meeting, business blah blah, and while he's standing behind him, being his stoic guard self, he just happens to glance out the window down at the street and there's just.... V. Walking down the street as if nothing ever happened.

I know it's so far-fetched and a silly take on things, but I had to heal my own heart.

I made another one. I'm sorry.

I’m sorry I saw this template and had to do it😭

Ive been trying to upload this for 12 hours, raaaah, I missed Takemura Tuesday because of it. I made it for yall.

Can I interest anyone in a low-effort TURN meme? Came up with this while thinking of how every time they had like a spark of hope it ended badly lol.

COMPLETELY random thought about POTO but I was cross referencing vintage photos of syphilis progression for writing purposes- obviously when the book was written little was known of the disease and its affects other than that it could eventually lead to death- given Erik's description do you think it's possible Leroux was imagining a syphilis victim who got it from his mother in-uturo? It accounted for high infant deformality at the time.

Probably not, and he was just imagining a deformed person because that was OH SO SCARY back then it was a thought that crossed my mind.
