    Summary

    It’s been fifteen years since Gordon put away the game for good. He packed up his life in New Mexico, moved up the country and got a real, fresh start in life, new job, new friends, the works- all was well. He doesn’t think about the people he left inside a video game after promising he’d get them out. It was just too painful, and at one point, it felt like it became too late to go back. He eventually forgot about the box that he stored the VR headset away in all those years ago, collecting dust and waiting for him to return.

    Well, maybe he can’t entirely forget it, but he’s done a damn good job of ignoring it.

    At least, until Joshua finds it.

    Summary

    Before everything goes to hell, Gordon has a conversation with Benrey that makes him start to think differently about his circumstances.
    Then, when all is said and done, he has to go back to life in the "real world", but finds that he still carries a lot of the Black Mesa incident with him, tracked it home like mud on his shoes, and now has to navigate his life, in all the ways it is both so much the same and so very different.

    Summary

    It’s been a few weeks since their escape from Black Mesa, and Gordon is struggling with nightmares and intense panic without really understanding why. Everything feels like an uphill battle, these days, and Gordon’s forgotten that asking for help is something he’s allowed to do and that his friends are ready and willing to provide it.

    Summary

    Gordon is a computer programmer for Black Mesa who gets a bit too caught up in his own personal projects rather than actual work. Can you blame him for getting a little bored? Though he did get a bit too carried away with this most recent little side project.

    How does a person accidentally create- not one, not two, but- seven AIs that pass the Turing Test with flying colors? Gordon is still trying to figure out the answer to that question.

    Summary

    Your name is Gordon Freeman, and you are sure of two things:

    1. You were hired by Black Mesa to oversee a large portion of forest in the middle of nowhere. You have found safety in the confines your watch tower, and unease with your radio. You are not to tamper with the radio.
    2. There's supposed to be something in the forest. Many things, actually.

    Gordon Freeman is unsure however, of what, who, and why those things are there.

    Summary

    Gordon is dead.

    Then, he isn't dead.

    A proper 'Schrodinger's Scientist' -- a man between life and death, nothing more than an experiment for something outside the box.

    Summary

    Gordon isn't particularly happy about his new roommate, but if he can't get rid of him, he might as well make an effort to understand the guy. He's got a PHD and he's got at least one research resource, how hard could it POSSIBLY be?

    Author's Note: please, god, dni with me or my writing if you consume or create nsfw content of hlvrai, ESPECIALLY if you think of or portray benrey as predatory. I want nothing to do with you if you do or support these things.

    Summary

    It's more likely than you'd think.

    Gordon had recently been transferred from Black Mesa's main base to a tiny lab off of some seaside town, something about higher-than-average amounts of alien gunk being found in the water? Honestly, Gordon figured it was probably just higher-than-average amounts of regular-ass human pollution, but he wasn't going to tell anyone else that. Getting paid full-time to just sit around, occasionally looking at some seawater-chemical interaction in a glass vial? Sign him up! He'd had plenty of worse jobs, this would be easy.

    Summary

    Black Mesa has never exactly been a "morally upstanding" facility — Benrey was well aware of this fact. He was no stranger to having to turn a blind eye to his co-worker's less-than-savory actions, and it had never bothered him before.

    So why was this experiment any different?

    Turns out healing from an alien invasion closely followed by attempted murder-by-eldritch-being is a lot more difficult when said eldritch being starts showing up in your dreams. Gordon’s gonna need a lot more than soda for this one.

    Summary

    They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.

    But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.
