Summary
The first text Ethan received read simply do you have a map? Then, of Hatchetfield, then, puzzlingly, Alice Woodward’s dead body wants me to help her find something.
~-~-~-
Lex has been watching Alice from a distance since they were kids, thinking she had the perfect life. Now Alice is dead- drowned suspiciously in the lake- and Lex is facing a world without her in it. Not that she doesn't have enough to worry about- work, her mom, her sister, Ethan. And then one day she comes home to find Alice on her front step, dripping lake water and reaching out for her help. Soon, Lex find herself embroiled in more than a murder mystery- there are things in the woods she can't explain, FBI agents asking questions nobody can answer, and, perhaps most importantly, a dead girl at her window, begging her for more than investigative footwork. Facing questions from her heart and the police alike, Lex is forced to reckon with the fact that maybe Alice’s life wasn’t perfect after all. -

Summary
Farryn rubbed her hands over her face, rested her eyes, closed, against her palms. She could still see Gwenna, dead. Gwenna, alive. Gwenna, falling to dust between her hands as they kissed. Seared into her eyes, closed or open, she was always there. Haunting, death-like, wreathing the bounds of Farryn’s every thought. She dreamt of her, yearned for her, thought of her, feared for her, dreamt of her, wished for her, waited, feared, dreamt, hoped, feared-
__Set ambiguously between episode 17 and 18, Farryn and Lethica talk.
Spoilers for EOM up to episode 17, I believe?Series

Summary
“I’m not used to this,” Xid said quietly, dragging the heel of her boot over the ground. She felt out of place, here, in the quiet. In the dark. Every inch of her itched for a stage, a mask to hide behind, strings to strum and lights to blind her.
But the woods were peaceful where Saffron was. Xid could hear the wind wail through the trees, could hear the leaves rustle and the branches collide. Somewhere, nightingales sang, bats swept, owls hunted. She could hear dogs howling into the night back in town, lonesome and hungry. She felt like that, too, starved for anything genuine but straining still back at everything she’d run from.
____
kind of a Xidriel character study, heavy on the Xid/Saffron.Series

Summary
The streets of Kabuki never truly slept, but they felt more alive in the dark. Looking at all the old familiar faces around her, V took a deep breath of garbage-scented air. The sidewalk was littered with newspapers, food wrappers, ads beaming down on every surface, left and right. Plastic debris glittered in tandem with broken glass in the street, and the sides of buildings were coated in swaths of flickering screens, commercials flashing over a barren waste of passing cars and people. Somewhere, someone was shrieking obscenities into the night air. Nobody listened.
___
V spent her formative years working as a joytoy in Kabuki, learning the ropes and working for the Mox as a jack of all trades. She's only recently scraped her way out of bedrooms and onto the streets of Night City as an edgerunner, and she's determined to make it work. No matter the cost. A routine carjacking, a new partner in crime, a slow escalation to a nuclear demise- the path to sharing brainspace with Johnny Silverhand began so small. Now, facing down a whole city at her throat, V will have to navigate a much thornier road.

Summary
Whoever is doing this to Vex's soulmate, they certainly are persistent, she thinks one morning, as the telltale sting of a cut opening across her back grits a hiss between her teeth.
(The cut isn't there. She knows this, but it hurts like hell all the same. Only a minute later, she feels her hipbone ache with the dull pain of a burn, too many layers deep to be accidental, and she shivers.)Bookmarked by Metronomeblue
