    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

    Gordon attempts to return to a normal life post-incident. Which should be easy - except for one glaring problem: Benry won’t leave him alone.

    Or, another post-canon, not actually a game AU. *shrug*

    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

    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.
