Summary
A glimpse into the past. As mentioned in "Jump Scares", Switch had some trouble to overcome a fear of heights and falling before making the jump. Trinity and Apoc decide to help out a little. Cypher is as antagonistic as ever.
(Ties in with "Different Freedoms" and "Get Them Talking About Guns".)
First truly new story since starting to post my stuff here, and it even has chapters!

Summary
Another take on my ongoing "Switch has a slightly odd brain" theme. Today: Calibrating the jack-in parameters for the first visit of the construct, not everything is going as smoothly as planned. No character was permanently harmed in the making of this story. Might contain traces of a random OC because I needed an operator for this alternate timeline.

Summary
Apoc swipes some unusual equipment from the loading program. (Random sweet one-shot, or: how to keep yourself entertained on a dull watch. Same basic logic/premise as in Different Freedoms, The Quiet Sentry, etc.)

Summary
One of his early days out of the Matrix, Neo ends up in in a conversation that goes a little different than expected (because some people on the ship need a special interest besides searching for the One.) Weird fluff for fun.
[rated T for characters being a bit too fascinated by weapons] -
Tags
Summary
Apoc finds an old, printed volume of poetry by Emily Dickinson and tries to read it to the others, with mixed results.
Mostly fluff. -
Tags
Summary
Being a misfit even in a band of misfits, looking for the lines to walk. Odd little thing, more exploratory fragment than story. Sort of a prequel/alternative telling to "White Gun", "Different Freedoms", and the rest of my "neurodivergent Switch" arc/headcanon. Rambly mess ahead.
Kinda personal one, handle with care.
[rated T for implied mental health struggles]

Summary
A tiny glimpse into the breakfast the morning after Neo's first encounter with the jump program. Just a dialog vignette of how many tries it might have taken each of the crew members.

Summary
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interrèd with their bones.
So let it be with Cypher. -

Summary
"I may be the One, Morpheus," he said, quite casually, "and that may be my purpose. But Trinity is the reason. My reason. I don't need any other."

Summary
Trinity and Neo have so many years to cover. But having talked about their lowest low in their most recent history – having laughed about it, even – an almost giddy lightness fills them as they step out into Io. A freedom they’ve never known before. The dead resurrected, walking hand in hand.

Summary
There’s something between them before they even meet. Trinity can’t deny that but when the crew frees Neo from the Matrix, every possible moment to tell Neo about her feelings, about what the Oracle told her, is just not right.

Summary
Just a tender moment between Switch and Apoc at the end of a long, dark mission.

Summary
Alice Darling doesn’t have the best life, but she has her brother and the stifling comfort of repetition. All she has to do is ignore the weird flashes of color in her periphery, the bursts of physics-defying abilities, the feeling of being watched, and her own damning curiosity.
Easy.
It doesn’t matter that her mother hates her very existence, society feels like a prison, and boredom makes her reckless in her attempts to disrupt the monotony of life. All she needs is her brother.
Love and loyalty mean more than any adrenaline rush that fades far too quickly.
She craves the feeling of being wanted. Of belonging.
Only…she doesn’t belong.“I think that went rather well.”
“If that’s your definition of well, I’m afraid of what you think bad is.”
“Bad is getting caught or killed. That didn’t happen so it went well.”
“No. Capture or death is terrible. Worst case scenario. He took the blue pill, and we were chased by Agents. That’s bad.”
“Agree to disagree.”
“You’re insane.”In which Alice learns more about reality and herself than she really wanted to or expected, but makes the best of it by stirring up trouble and running from the fallout as fast as she’s able.
