  1. Summary

    "That was my last thought. I wished I had one more chance, to say what really mattered, to say how much I loved you, how grateful I was for every moment I was with you. But by the time [I knew I’d] said what I wanted to, it was too late. But you brought me back. You gave me my wish. One more chance to say what I really wanted to say… Kiss me, once more. Kiss me." - Trinity, The Matrix: Revolutions (2003)

    Set post The Matrix: Revolutions (2003), with reference to The Matrix: Resurrections (2021), I am calling this series an AU, AU. "Once More Chance" is an alternate universe of the Resurrections timeline.

     

    What if Neo and Trinity had a chance at a life together as Thomas and Tiffany? What if they were gifted the time to breathe, heal, laugh, and love without a time limit? What if the machines not only allowed it, but encouraged it? We meet these characters as they meet each other, both facing decisions that would change their lives (into who they would be in Resurrections), the two turn to each other, a beacon of hope that they did not know they needed. We get a chance to live with these characters, as they find themselves, and eventually a road back to who they used to be, and who they will be again.

    Summary

    The air between them thickened with something undeniable. Around them, the restaurant emptied, yet neither of them moved.

    It wasn’t gentle. It wasn’t sweet.

    It was a pull. Sharp, magnetic and dangerous in its simplicity.

    And for the first time in longer than he cared to admit, Mark didn’t want to leave.

    Summary

    “Give it,” he said, voice low.

    She tilted the bottle up instead, taking another deliberate sip while keeping her eyes on his. When she lowered it, her mouth was parted. Daring him.

    Mark moved in again, trying to pry the bottle free, and they ended up flush together. His cock gave an involuntary twitch against her hip. She let out an amused hum.

    “Yeah, laugh it up.” His mouth twisted. “I know you’re just as worked up.”

    Her brows arched. “Are you trying to see how wet I am?”

    Mark choked. “No! Jesus. I mean…” He stopped, eyes narrowing. “Wait. Are you?”
