📓 (i'm really curious what you have in mind !!)

Hi @gloryride!! I've got just the one for you...

I'm a sucker for angst, as you probably know, and I especially love exploring the angst CDPR left us with, with V having six months to live. My first playthru involved me calling Panam and Judy from the rooftop—literally moments before I fell for Mitch—and that is still my favorite canon ending: V and her two best girls leaving town.

So this daydream fanfic involves the same situation. This time it's not Val, but another V. She leaves with Judy and the Aldecaldos and they head out in search of a cure, but there isn't one to be found. V still dies, leaving Judy feeling adrift with Panam's family and wondering if she still belongs there.

While Judy is dealing with her grief and guilt, Panam is too. V was never shy about flirting with Panam, even though she didn't reciprocate those feelings. After having spent six months watching V and Judy, she begins to realize she was wrong, that she does harbor feelings for V; but of course it's too late because she's happy with Judy after Panam rejected her.

V dies, and both Judy and Panam grieve over what they've lost: Panam because she lost her best friend and the woman she pined for; and Judy because she lost her partner, someone she had pinned all her hopes on when she left Night City.

Panam and Judy grieve together, and Panam finally has the courage to admit to Judy that she was in love with V. Their grief brings them closer, and they hook up—at first just as a way of dealing with grief, and eventually they are able to sort through all the emotional baggage and be together on their own terms, and not just because of their shared love for V.

Send me a📔and I'll tell you about an unwritten fanfic that I daydream about!

Linking the post for anyone who wants to share it themselves—I think I might be running out of daydream fanfics lmaoo
