Summary
“Johnny doesn’t believe in soul mates. What he does believe is that their engrams would know each other anywhere. They’re written into each other’s code now. Digital souls tied together.”
One year after destroying Mikoshi and Arasaka. One year after taking that leap beyond the Blackwall together.
V and Johnny wake up in bodies that aren’t their own, in a city that hasn’t changed all that much. Familiar faces and familiar struggles quickly push them into another race against time.This is a post-canon sequel to Last of a Dying Breed and will make a lot more sense if read after that. You don’t need to have read the other two side stories in the series.

Summary
"Keep playin'," the other guy calls back on his way out the door, "you got soul." Somehow, it feels significant.
Some local band with more passion than talent, and a chance meeting with a long-dead legend.

Summary
Johnny gets to walk away when Johnny's done. Not before. And no one else can do it to him. Kerry's been with him long enough to know this. He does it anyway, just to prove a point. And he almost feels good about it until Johnny sucker-punches him in the back of the head.
Post-gig back alley fight. As they do.

Summary
"The fuck are you gawkin' at?," Johnny snaps, mean as ever.
Years ago, the night they met, he had the exact same reaction to being stared at. Kerry hadn't minded then, either.

The shape changes, but the nightmares are all the same for her. Always losing him.
This is post-canon for Last of a Dying Breed. It was originally going to be part of a sequel but now it isn't part of that but I still want to share it.

He had found that the trick, when everyone thought you were always watching them, was to not watch them at all.
And so the Emperor slept.

Summary
Hard, chrome fingers dig into his hair. Yank his head back in a grip meant to leave a mark.
Kerry gasps, a mixture of instinct and surprise. But doesn’t stop playing. Won’t give the crazy bastard the satisfaction.

Summary
Fleeing from the chaos of a crumbling empire and a cruel, foolhardy king, Twitter seeks asylum in the arms of an old lover. But shattered amity is a difficult bridge to gap, and out of all the sites, Tumblr is perhaps best known for circulating old posts... and hanging on to old grudges.
That's so sad Alexa play caramelldansen

Summary
“Put that out on me.” Kerry means to command but really he begs. Always that way when it comes to Johnny.
And Johnny, he so obviously doesn't give a fuck. With the way he leans up against the wall, head pointed up at the sky. Still hanging on to that cig.
