    Summary

    Before Zion, Ghost felt disconnected at the military academy, a place filled with ambition. He came to fight the machines, not expecting his path to lead him to Zion, a place of both salvation and damnation. There, he met Trinity, whose confidence and strength captivated him. While others like Sparks, Tank, and Dozer pursued her openly, Ghost stayed distant, drawn to her mystery but not daring to approach. Despite the subtle connection between them, Ghost knew, through the Oracle's warning, that he was not meant to be with her. Accepting this, he quietly stepped back, observing from the shadows.

    Summary

    Holding Neo so hard it would undoubtedly bruise, Smith shouted aloud his first words since being alive, and they fell like thunder upon Neo, hoarsely: “I hate you!”

    Neo’s eyes were lidded. He felt no surprise whatsoever at these words. It was the driving force behind them. And he knew it to be true— after all, that was their connection, a connection that ran deeper than anything else Neo had ever possessed in his life. They needed each other, they couldn't live without each other. Was not that a connection as profound as hate, and as its sister, love?

    OR

    Their minds are still awake even after the war. Neo is enlightened; Smith is not.

    Summary

    Summary

    Desire, need, love. None of these things feel separate when they make love. It is always everything all at once. Overwhelming, all encompassing. She is everything to him and he is everything to her, the fire raging inside of them both fuelled and tempered only by each other.

    Summary

    People die in war. It was a reality they had all accepted when they dedicated their lives to the cause. But there were some people he never expected to lose. It felt unimaginable in ways he could never truly express that he would never see them again. All he could think was they deserved better…

    Summary

    Unanswered question: What happened to Tank?

    We all remember that confusion after seeing Reloaded and realising that Tank was mysteriously dead without knowing how. Many have attempted to answer this question (usually death from sepsis following his burns in M1), but this is my version of how things could have gone. I hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    She looks at him, allowing her eyes to adjust to see his code, struck for a moment by how dazzlingly complex and brilliant it is. She has seen it before, many times, observing him through the monitors, but it is different to see it with him right in front of her.

    ...she can't help but imagine the streets of Zion burning as they made their way to the machine city, all of free humanity fighting like hell to survive, while he was the only thing holding them back from total annihilation.

    Summary

    “I never thought that you would die,” he admits after a long moment, his voice trembling with every word. “I was ready to die, but I wasn’t ready to watch you…” he cuts off, unable to continue, ashamed of the foolish arrogance he’d possessed, that he could keep her alive through sheer force of will.

    Summary

    In her early days in Zion it had been the one place that grounded her in ways nothing else could, especially as she struggled with the plugs in her body, often feeling more machine than human. Coming here reminded her that she was still flesh and bone, that there were things in the world apart from humanity’s survival worth fighting for.

    Theia clenches her fists attempting to go at him but firm hands hold her back. The SWAT team… god, she’d actually forgotten they were there. He’d made her forget everything… Her father, the Oracle, Sati, even parts of her own mother! Who the hell is this asshole and what they hell does he want with them?!

    Summary

    She hadn’t intended to tell her father about the dreams, at least not now. It was something she had thought about so often—that the man in her dreams growing up was her real father—that he was somehow looking after her even though he couldn’t be there, but she’d never told another living soul about it.

    Summary

    Set between The Matrix and The Matrix Reloaded, centered around Neo and Trinity as they adjust to their new relationship, Neo's growing abilities, and a whole lot more. No one said ending a war would be easy, and if Agents don't get the first, the Council of Zion surely will.
