Summary
Gordon doesn't know how to feel about any of this.
Being here, seeing everything he left behind waiting for him like this. It was weird. His apartment felt like a time capsule of his life before Black Mesa. Back when the toughest issues he had to face were sleepless nights and working out a date to see Joshua again.
This was Gordon Freeman's home. Gordon Freeman, who graduated MIT with a PhD in Theoretical Physics. Who, in his spare time, took freelance jobs grading college papers and playing Left 4 Dead 2. Who was divorced at 27 and had a kid he didn’t get to see nearly as much as he would have liked.
That was Gordon Freeman.
He didn’t know who he was, now.

Black Mesa's gone, an interdimensional alien attack has been averted, and Gordon's life is finally back to normal. But that's not entirely true, is it?

Summary
“You – you've fought lots of people, Sir Freeman!” Tommy called, and Gordon waved a hand at him in annoyance. “You're very strong!”
“Tommy -” Gordon shifted his weight to glare over his shoulder. “Your highness, respectfully, shut the fuck up.”
“Okay!” Tommy said brightly, and Gordon turned back and shoved the bard through the doorway and into the hall beyond.
“We're done for the day,” he told the hopeful supplicants waiting in the hallway. “There's a dragon, apparently. Ask the bard, he'd love to tell you.” Then he ushered the farmers and guards out as well and slammed the doors.

Summary
A million statements, questions, and apologies beg to be voiced. He wants to tell Connor how overjoyed he is to see his dorky face. He wants to ask what possessed the android to find Hank after all the shit he put him through. He wants to say how unimaginably sorry he is, fall down to his knees and shake his clasped hands in a shameful bid for forgiveness.
“Where the fuck have you been?”

Summary
Gordon Freeman liked to think that he was, at the end of the day, a pretty decent person. A good one, even. There were some parts of himself that he didn't particularly like, but everybody was like that, right? That was normal! He was normal and sane and fine and, above all else, normal.
A very, very normal man that had to go through very, very insane circumstances.
When he's offered the chance to turn back the clock and try again - to prevent the resonance cascade and the horrors it comes with, not only for Black Mesa but the whole world - he, reluctantly, takes it. His life can go on as it should have, before the cascade. The problem is that the Science Team doesn't remember him, or what they went through together that gave them such a strong bond... and making friends without the pressures of life and death is surprisingly difficult.
It doesn't help that he's also been tasked with killing Benry. Again. The man who he definitely despises and wouldn't mind seeing dead, it's just that he doesn't want to interact with him at all, is the thing. I mean, can you blame him? The inhuman- thing gave him so much fucking trauma, and he can't even go to a therapist for it! He definitely, 100% wants him dead. Mhm.

Summary
Sasha likened Raz to a hamster, sometimes. Small. Runs around a lot. Smells a bit but the parental affection overrides the stench, and he can just tape air fresheners to Raz’s backpack if he really needed. Can sometimes do cool tricks.
