Summary
Black Mesa East is getting its feet off the ground, and Alyx knows exactly who to ask to solve their pesky headcrab problem. Of course, things could never be just that simple. What starts out as a business trip ends with the greatest interspecies competition the world had yet seen...

Summary
Gordon wakes Benry up.
Benry isn't sure why this gives him such a sense of dread. He's always a been heavy sleeper, but there's no reason to get all freaked out about it.
(Big unreality cw incoming. I love stories about people getting trapped in video games, what can I say?
This started as Multiplayer AU but, uh. Has mutated severely! Go check out thecryptidcorvid on tumblr for what these characters are supposed to be like when not subject to my awful whims. I'm playing their backstories and personalities by ear so things are pretty fucken different! The basic summary is that Gordon is the only AI, and the rest are roleplayers doing their best to roleplay.
Strap in. Things are gonna get weird. Eldritch glitch horror and invasive data-mining weird. And leave comments if you like, I eat them for power.)

Summary
Vortigaunts do not experience time the way humans do. Time is not a flat line where the past is behind them. It is with them always. More then memory. Regrettably less then time travel. Because if Uriah could change these moments of the past, then he would have known what to say when the human he did not yet know as Dr. Arne Magnusson finds him.
But he revisits it often all the same, with the appreciation of the many years between them.
It is the day of Black Mesa; when the end of the hopeless future will come. It hasn't happened yet; and the Vortigaunt who is not yet named Uriah remembers how it felt to first look at the sky.
(Or: In which the author gets kind of Really Into trying to write an alien perspective with a wholly different outlook on time, and also what that would mean when you are in love with someone, and also no force on earth can tell me these two aren't A Thing.)

Summary
“...Tommy? Did you steal a kid?”
“What? Haha, noooo, Mr. Freeman, of - of course not -”
Gordon rubbed his free hand over his face and sighed. “Wait, yeah, that’s ridiculous. Benrey stole the kid, didn’t he?”
“...Welllll…” Tommy dragged the word out, and Gordon went cold.
“Wait, did he - did he actually steal a kid? Do we need to call the cops? Tommy, what is going -”
“Mr. Freeman, listen!" Tommy snapped. "It’s Benrey. The kid is...it’s Benrey.”
De-aging fic, because why not.

Summary
To say that Gordon has gotten used to his current, well, "small" predicament would be an understatement.
He was sitting down in one of Black Mesa's numerous dull-tiled hallways. Arms folded across his chest, his head lolling back against the paint-chipped wall.
In front of him, sound asleep, are his coworkers—or what were his coworkers to say.

Thanks to Benrey, the science team (minus Darnold and Gordon) has been turned back into kids without any prior memories, forcing Gordon to babysit them while Darnold works to find a cure. (based off my tumblr blog HLVRAIK)

Summary
Left behind on his own in the game's code after his defeat, Benrey grows lonely and starts looking for a way out.
It ends up landing him a few universes over, where things are just as radioactive and dead half the time, but at least there was a Gordon. Just... a little different. Bit louder, and more violent, maybe. Shorter ponytail, too.

Summary
Look, being thrown through time and space isn't fun in the first place. But being attacked while already in such a situation? That’s just bad manners. Darkrai would know, of course, suddenly being on the receiving end of just that.
But at least he landed in the past, meaning he has the perfect chance to finally take his revenge on those pesky ‘heroes’ that got him there in the first place. And he has the perfect plan, this time: Disguise himself as a perfectly harmless Pokémon, get close to them, and once they fully trust him… stab them in the back and watch them suffer!
Now, if only he could stop himself from starting to like the once-human… that would be great. And where, exactly, has the original partner Pokémon gone?
(Can technically be read without knowledge of the Mystery Dungeon Series)(was intended to be crack. is now just a story with the occasional humour but also angst and too many words. and a surprising amount of character development for Darkrai. basically the Redemption Arc he never got.)

Summary
Wow, this guy asked a lot of questions. He looked adorably lost. Tommy could point him in the right direction, but his mention of the break room reminded him of the nonsense on the wall in there, and he fought down a snort of laughter. Maybe the new guy would appreciate the signs.
A dramatic novelization of the Half Life VR but the AI is Self Aware saga from the point of view of Tommy Coolatta.

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.
