   • This was tagged as romantic comedy but that probably gives the wrong impression
   • Because its romantic. Its character driven. I try to make sure its comedic even when heavy.
   • But romcom tropes are not particularly present
   • A lot of mortality talk and some references to past unethical science
   • I will wrangle the lore of this dingdong webseries
   • Into worldbuilding if its the last thing i fucking do
   • If you think anything should be warned for
   • dont hesitate to let me know and ill add a warning to start of chapter notes
   • Added an oc tag bc there Will be just a few plot necessitated ocs

   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.
