Summary
Follows the story of 6 unlikely allies who find themselves thrown together by fate in the cruel and harsh Sixth-World of Shadowrun. These are the narrative adventures of my TTRP group, in our campaign. A new chapter is written most weeks. Because this gets published to my players, it's written from an in-game perspective, with imperfect knowledge - there's very few instances where you read something that wasn't directly observed by them, and as a result sometimes something weird and a little unexplained can happen.
Most of the chapters are probably PG-12 - but it is a harsh world, and gun battles and brutal melee is definitely a thing. There's also some adult content and some scenes of attempted kidnapping and rape of some of the team, and there's a few instances of torture. It's all (hopefully) in context for the story, and I try to keep it implied or not too heavy on the detail - enough so you know what's going on, without being gratuitous.
I also have a group on facebook where I sometimes talk about behind the scenes stuff. People are welcome to join and offer thoughts, criticism, suggestions or just see what is going on behind the story...

Summary
He didn't expect to die. He also didn't expect to wake up in the body of a down-on-his-luck Shadowrunner in the year 2054. But when life gives you lemons, do as Cave Johnson did, and find a way to weaponize those lemons!

Summary
John Walker is a top executive at Aztechnology; he's also Ducky's former guardian, and Ducky still hasn't completely recovered from that. For that matter, he also has a suspended sentence hanging over him for hiring an assassin to kill a young woman... and that's most probably nowhere near all he's done. No, John Walker is not a nice man.
But when Ducky is finally and unexpectedly reunited with his family, the time comes for justice to be visited on Walker; and this becomes even more urgent when it transpires that a British schoolboy, George Elwood, is being sent over to Seattle to stay with Walker due to the constraints of one of Aztech's experiments. Can Blackbird and her team of runners, of whom Ducky, Lethruel, and Purple form part, both rescue George and mete out an appropriate punishment to a man who can't be touched by the law?

Summary
Tensions between the Vory and the Mafia in Seattle have ratcheted up a notch because the Vory have kidnapped the teenage daughter of a top Mafia don. Meanwhile, a young woman named Vera, who is pregnant and has just fled from her violent Vory boyfriend, is trying to survive on the streets... and the team of shadowrunners who inhabit the building known as the Garage are thrown into disarray by the arrival of a basket on the doorstep. The basket contains a baby in a very inadequate nappy, and a note saying that the father is Purple.
This is the story of the unlikely set of links between these three sets of circumstances.

Summary
Some time has passed since the previous story. Lethruel has moved in with the gang of shadowrunners they regularly work with, and Purple has had an accident that very nearly killed him, from which he's currently recovering. He's supposed to be resting as much as possible and taking things very easy.
The problem with Purple is that he almost never does what he's supposed to... which, incidentally, is how he nearly got killed in the first place.

Summary
A collection of tales from a variety of my characters in a Shadowrun Live Community I play in on Discord.
The stories vary in length and subject, some are sweet, some are more sombre.
I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them, please leave kudos or comments if you like. I'll likely be continuing to write them either way because if I don't something inside me will break, I think.
Enjoy, chummer.

Summary
Shadowrunning is a dangerous profession. For the vast majority, the end of their career as a shadowrunner tends to conicide with being put in the grave.
For Liliana "Rith" Crowe, what should have been a punched ticket to the afterlife instead brought her to a world on the cusp of dealing with the return of old magics and the rise of a single card game to rule all others.

Summary
The job is easy: find a mark in a criminal syndicate and get him out. But even with a team of professionals, nothing is ever quite so simple. And this time, the shadows Kit is facing aren’t just the ones inside—a new experience for the wild, black magic combat mage with a taste for forbidden arts. Out of all the others on her team, the detective calling herself Winter is bringing darkness enough to drown anything. Once a door opens, after all, it is seldom so easy to close. (Adding to RoyalRoad alongside Original Fiction).

Summary
Duncan Wu and his sister Jamila haven’t seen each other in eight years.
Now, a message from their adoptive father draws them back to Hong Kong—but when they arrive, he’s already gone.
To find him, they’ll have to face what tore them apart… and what never really let them go.
Can they find out what happened to him—before their past destroys them both?This is a slow-burn Duncan x female protagonist story, told in alternating first-person POV.
It follows the arc of Shadowrun: Hong Kong—before, during, and beyond—with significant divergence in character development, plot structure, and worldbuilding.
Expect complex emotional dynamics, unresolved desire, and a bond that walks the line between devotion and destruction.Warning: major game spoilers ahead.
While grounded in the events of the original, this version expands and rewrites key elements of the setting, including aspects of the shaman class not present in official lore.***This story updates in true slow-burn fashion — just like them :)***
