Summary
A woman who's desperate to remember her past, and a man who's desperate to forget. A shitty supper over the campfire reminds them both that the grass is always greener on the other side.
Alternative summary: the courier and Boone being terrible at their own emotions for three thousand or so words.

Summary
When the soldiers of Simulation Outpost 1-A and 1-B were reassigned, only three of them ended up relocating to Outpost 48-A. Two of these soldiers weren't actually meant to be there. They happened to be living a life full of lies, and weren't really sim troopers at all. They happened to be hiding away from the eyes of a very sketchy military organization. This is a continuation of their rather disastrous tale.
Edited slightly and posted for RVB OC week on tumblr after even more years of sitting neglected in my drive. Definitely not up to my writing standards these days, but I don't really want to bother cleaning it up right now. Mostly written as a character study of how Alberta and Nova fit into the team dynamics during the Recollections trilogy.

Summary
When the planet of Camber was glassed, only 81,313 of the original 5.6 million residents survived. Two of those survivors happened to demonstrate some impressive survivability. They happened to possess some very unique skills and expertise. They happened to be exactly what certain extremely sketchy military projects were looking for. This is the start of their rather disastrous tale.
Edited a bit and finally posted for RVB OC week on tumblr after years of sitting in my drive neglected. Despite being RvB flavoured towards the end, this admittedly leans more into the territory of being a Halo fic.

Summary
Rebuilding never gives you back exactly what was. Nobody comes back from loss as the same person, you can never return to a home once it's gone, and you can never heal without a scar to remind you where the damage was. After war, your joy will always feel different, nightmares linger, peace always feels fragile. Another of the ultimate expressions of strength is to embrace the changed life ahead- to treasure your past without being stuck in it, to take comfort in what remains, to accept that shadows will always follow the light- and still fight to keep it shining, regardless.
This is a story of the heroes who have changed, but retain that strength.
This is also a story of crying over spilled coffee.Series

Summary
War always takes from you, little by little. It takes the people you care about, your home, your health. Your laughter and smiles, your restful sleep at night, your ability to ever exist in peace. One of the ultimate expressions of strength is to retain hope in war- to create love amongst the misery, to dream of a life that comes after, and to keep the light alive.
This is a story of the heroes who suffer that loss, and exhibit that strength.
This is also the story of the spiral of events leading to the most important coffee spill of all time.Series

Summary
We all know that the reds and blues really love to stand around and talk. But in a world where they're a bunch of struggling students? Where Project Freelancer is just a research placement for overachieving keeners? Where the Director is just their really shitty dean?
...Well, they'd sit around and text, instead.

Summary
Matt had a problem. He had tried to deny it. He had tried to ignore it. He had even tried redirecting it. But unfortunately, he couldn't make it go away. And now? He had to face up to it.
