Authors note: I'd like to start off and say thank you to thoseof you who decided to at least click on this. While playing through CP2077, I quickly grew a liking to Panam and she quickly became one of my favorite characters apart from Johnny and Jackie that is. I was so disappointed that her entire character arc was relatively short and started having ideas on expanding that. I also wanted to apologize in advance for any grammar or phrasing mistakes as while I may have good ideas for stories, actually writing them down can be difficult for me.

Thank you.


A new beginning

Nearly a year ago to this very day I entered Night City with a dream to be the best and baddest motherfucker to even live in Night City; that dream though would die in the ensuing months. It all started out as a smuggling gig right after the Bakker's feel apart and I was contacted by a mutual friend who told me of a client who needed a driver. In an ironic twist of fate, that client was Jackie Welles, and he was the man who helped me get settled in Night City; even speaking to his mother and letting me stay with them until I could get an apartment. Our relationship eventually evolved into that of brothers, which made it even worse when he died on that god forsaken day. After his death, I felt completely alone, afraid, and forsaken for the first time in months. That was until I met both Panam and Johnny fucking Silverhand, both saving me in their own unique way. Without Panam's love and support, I never would have made it as far as I did, and without Johnny Silverhand, I would have continued the self-destructive path of no return. Panam was the rock and foundation that I needed and in an ironic twist of fate; it was the same with her. We both helped build each other up from our lowest point in our lives and feel in love. Honestly, I think the moment I knew I was in love with her was when we were waiting to steal a Basilisk, we were toasting Scorpion who unfortunately lost his life not that long ago, and she did a toast for Jackie. At that moment, I knew that my days of being alone were over. Silverhand on the other hand changed me for the better; giving me the courage to never stop fighting and wising me up so that I would not follow in his footsteps. Looking back over the past year, I'm glad that things worked out the way they did as without the events playing out; it's quite possible I would never have met Panam or Johnny.

Panam and I agreed that it would be in our best interest to stop for the night to get a bit of relaxation and some rest, before continuing the next day to meet up with the rest of the Aldecaldos. While the Basilisk is an impressive vehicle, it lacks in one important category: crew comfort. I glanced over at Panam to see her lounging about on the bedding we had brought; completely nude and looking at me with a very seductive grin on her face.

"You know V, I seem to remember the only time we had sex before was in the Basilisk, and while it was amazing, I think having more room would make it so much better." She said as she beckoned me over to her.

"Yep; think you are right. Before we start though, I have a quick question." I said as I laid down beside her and placed a hand on her thigh.

"Shoot"

"When we were fucking in the Basilisk and our minds were linked, did you happen to hear Johnny talking shit about me?"

"Not really, but now that you mention it; what was he saying" She asked with an amused grin forming while taking me free hand and placing it on her breast.

"Ah, not really important." I said as I started to stroke her thigh and noticing that she was getting aroused.

"No V; I really want to know, and you know I'll use anything in my power to get what I want, and in this particular case, even my body" She said seductively as she wrapped her legs around me waist; my god why did she have to be curvy, and persistent at the same time. Seeing as she would not relent, I had to swallow my pride, and explain to her how Johnny and I would make fun of each other, and when she and I fucked in the Basilisk was no different.

"Wow; talk about being blown away, and here I had you pegged as either being gay or a monk, or possibly both, a gay monk. Never thought in a million years you'd manage to get a woman to fuck you; hell, even look at you like that for that matter. Once you finish, the cigarettes and booze are on me." I said as I put on my best Johnny Silverhand impersonation. It was all worth it though; to see her face light up like that and to hear her laughter.

"Well lover boy; care to prove Johnny wrong yet again." She purred into my ear while slapping my ass; this night would be one to remember for years to come. Sleeping outside with nothing but a tarp, combined sleeping bags, and a nice quilt, and fucking my lover under the moonlight would make it even more special. As I guided my penis into her vagina, I placed one hand on her ass to help support her, and I could hear her moaning gradually get louder and louder as I went faster and faster.

"Shit Panam; I'm at my limit." I said as I frantically tried to maintain my composure.

"Inside of me V; I want it, all of it." Cumming inside of Panam is without a doubt the best experience I have ever had; particularly seeing as the last time we had sex it was interrupted by the Wraiths. There was also something that captivated me quite a bit as I watched Panam smile as she slowly traced her hands around her belly.

"Good night Panam; love you." I said as she turned her body in towards me while snuggling as close as she could. As I pulled the quilt over us to keep the chilly desert air off our nude forms, and with our bodies sharing heat; there was nothing in the world that could be even more perfect than this. The feeling of her breast against mine, the slight rise and fall of her chest as she breathes, and having a hand on her ass as we stared into each other eyes.

"Night V; love you too." She replied and quickly feel asleep and leaving me alone to my thoughts. Gotta admit, I could get used to this; just being under the night sky with her with no sound but the chirping of dragonflies and the rustle of the wind. I also cannot get enough at just how peaceful she looks while sleeping, like the weight of the entire world isn't on her shoulders anymore.


I awoke to the sweet smell of coffee and breakfast and seeing Panam loading two plates up with food. Getting up, I glanced over at the side of the bedding to find my clothes already laid out for me, something Panam must have done when prepping for us to continue the rest of the journey.

"Damn Panam; breakfast smells delicious; didn't know you could cook." I said as I bit into the eggs that she made; the last of our supplies before reaching the meeting point.

"Thank you, V, figured I'd do something special for you seeing as I had the absolute time of my life last night." She said as she sat down beside me

"I'm glad I was able to satisfy you so much." I said with a smirk and finished the breakfast and coffee. Once we both changed back into our traveling clothes and packed up camp, we boarded the Basilisk and continued the journey to where the rest of the Aldecaldos where waiting for us.

"Hey V; it's me Misty. Listen, I decided to pull a few tarot cards and I know that they are not as strong without you being here, but I thought you'd like this. I drew the Chariot, the Lovers, and the Sun. Looks like you'll have a good life out there, take care." As the voice mail ended, I couldn't help but tear up and actually broke down for the first time since Jackie's death.

"V?" I heard Panams concerned voice and turned towards her.

"Sorry babe; just got a call from an old friend and likes to read tarot cards. According to her, she pulled the chariot, the lovers, and the sun; said it looks like my life may be a long and good one." I told her and went into explaining the details of the tarot cards, and what they represent which was a massive relief for her.

"Let's hope that she's right because I don't want to face the world without you at my side V."

"Same; after all the shit that I've gone through, I cannot imagine the world without you Panam." I said as I leaned in to give her a kiss, and with the beeping of our on-board navigation, we had finally arrived at the Aldecaldos camp.

"Took you kids long enough; you have fun out there." Mitch said walking up to the Basilisk and assist us getting out. The nearly four-hour journey from where we camped out the previous night to here while not bad with a decent vehicle was much to be desired while being in a military vehicle. The quality time with Panam though; man, I could really use more of that.

"Shut it Mitch and show us where the bar is." There it is, that sassiness that I feel in love with months ago.

"Sure thing boss; if you two lovebirds will just follow me and I'll show you the best bar this family has ever had." Something about the way that Mitch had said that made my heart tingle and glancing over at Panam I could see the blush and light smile form upon her lips, of course she also noticed that I was looking at her and her smile grew brighter. Following the tour that Mitch gave us and grabbing a case of beer from the bar, Panam and I made our way to our tent that was 'conveniently' located right next to her truck and my old Nomad car, of course we still had to remove my Arch from the bed of her truck. Totally surprised me when she told me to bring both as they are very sentimental to my life, and she wanted it to come with us. The car being the one that I built by hand when I was in the Bakkers, and the Arch being the motorcycle that was once owned by my brother Jackie. The tent itself wasn't bad at all; the perfect tent in fact for a chief and big enough to fit two people as well as their wardrobe. Two twin size cots were also centered towards the back wall and pushed close enough together to act as a single bed, and with the mattress that I brought with us, we could place it on top of both; absolutely perfect for the nomad lifestyle. Laying the beer case down beside our bed, I took two out and handed one to Panam.

"Here's to a new start Panam, a new beginning." I toasted

"And here's to old friends who are no longer with us physically, but still exist in our hearts." She said as I popped the top for her

"And here's to Jackie, Saul, Johnny, and Scorpion." We both said at the same time while slamming the beer down hard.

"You know; after everything that happened to me, I wouldn't change it for the world. Everything that happened had brought us together and that alone is worth more than anything Night City could even hope to provide." I said as I pulled Panam into an embrace and placing an arm around her shoulder, which she gladly took and scooted closer to where we are touching.

"We made it V, we finally made it." She said while leaning in for a kiss.

"Aye, we did." I said as we started making out and a thought quickly entered my head causing me to chuckle.

"What's so funny V?" Panam asked while looking me directly in the eye, curious as to why I started laughing.

"Just a memory I had; remember when we went to rescue Saul?" I asked her and getting a nod of confirmation. "Well, after you kissed me and left; Johnny himself told me that 'if the circumstances were different; I should ride after you and not look back." I explained as I could see her smile forming upon her luscious lips again.

"So, you mean to tell me that even Johnny "Fucking" Silverhand shipped us as well?" She asked and burst out laughing at the irony that while the whole biochip was killing me, Johnny himself in a sense became another voice of reason for me, one that I never really got to thank him for to be honest.

"Yep; pretty much." I said as I wrapped myself around her again for another kiss.

"Well, we better not disappoint him." She said as we went in for round 2 and another very intimate night.


Post note: I just wanted to thank you for reading to the end of this, and I am currently thinking of turning this into a series maybe; even to the point of where V gets healed though I'd have to figure that out. On another note, with all the trouble that CDPR has gotten into with CP2077; I really hope this doesn't spell the doom for them as that would be the final nail in the coffin for 2020; here's hoping to a better 2021.
