For Heather Morell, nightmares and hallucinations lurk around every corner, relics of schizophrenia and childhood bereavement.... more>>

Until she meets Raine and Evelyn, that is — self-proclaimed bodyguard and bad-tempered magician — and learns she’s not insane at all. The spirits and monsters she sees are all too real, the god-thing in her nightmares is teaching her how to surpass human limits, and her twin sister who supposedly never existed could still be alive, somewhere Outside, beyond the walls of reality.

Heather plunges into a world of eldritch magic and fanatic cultists, trying to stay alive, stay sane, and deal with her own blossoming attraction to dangerous women. But being ‘In The Know’ isn’t all terror and danger. Sometimes the monsters wear nice dresses and stick around for afternoon tea. Sometimes you find you have more in common with them than you think. Perhaps this is Heather’s chance to be something more than the defeated husk she’d grown up as, to find real friendship and meaning among things like herself - and perhaps, out there on the rim of the possible, to bring her twin sister back from the dead.

The Dollchip was created in military labs, as a means to quickly create usable soldiers. The entertainment industry put a... creative spin on its use. Most gangs in Night City also dabble in said industry, while also servicing the more dubious wants of clients, leading to many a tragic fate that make Scavs look appealing. Caught in one such fate, what does one do? With new knowledge and chrome, return the implant to what it was originally intended to be. So pick up the pieces and reassemble into something new.

So here goes, first ever story I'm deciding to flesh out and post. This is basically my first time writing anything longer than... more>> an essay, do please leave feedback. The idea for this story came from datashards in cp77 (See: Cyberpsycho Sightings: Smoke on the Water) and while I was at it I added a missfired isekai in there. I'm trying to find a way to have MC become OP without any system or magic bs, let me know how well you think I managed. When/if I eventually get there. I think I struggle with balancing environment descriptions and moment to moment acts with moving along the story in a timely fashion. Again, please do leave feedback.
Quick disclaimer: I'm not going to write smut in this. Writing gore I'm fine with, but actually writing any details about said tragic fate that I am teasing will not happen. Besides the unknown horror having more impact, some things are just better left unsaid. Also, I hope I ticked all the right boxes for Content Guidelines and stuff. Tag suggestions are welcome, alot of them are technically applicable, but maybe not accurate (yet, hopefully). I do not own Cyberpunk 2077 or any related copyrights.
