Summary
He's back. The guard with a stupid underbite (and bulky tactical vest and oversized blue helmet and pale skin) is going to ruin everything Gordon fought to rebuild after Black Mesa: a shitty apartment, a barista job that barely paid rent, and just enough stability to raise his son.
Benrey still thinks they’re friends.
Gordon would rather die.
[Or: barista! au Single father Gordon fic reuniting with his enemy. It doesn't go well.]
(Weekly updates around 12:00 CST every week or one week after the last chapter!)

Summary
It's been a year since his fateful simulator run, and Gordon Freeman has long since returned to the truth of his real life: PhD dropout, living alone, holding onto his research tech job at Black Mesa by a thread. But when his AI companions arrive at his employee dorm, inexplicably in the flesh, they bring a dire warning that will once again upend Gordon's entire reality. As they set off in search of a mysterious technology from Black Mesa's defunct rival company, everything would be a hell of a lot easier if they weren't also on the run from the authorities.
Oh, and if the science team hadn't decided to bring Benrey along. Fuck.
[ACT 1 COMPLETE! Future acts in progress.]

Summary
Spiritual Successor to "It Came From the Vents." Gordon Freeman has spent three years trying to stabilize the AIs he befriended after a disastrous end to a military project. He's stolen company property, ignored his family, and neglected himself in hopes of success. Now that he's made progress, it's becoming increasingly apparent that one of the AIs in question may not be a program at all. No one can say for certain what this revelation will lead to, but one thing's for sure: HR is going to have a field day with this one.

Summary
You come down the next morning to the fishing shack in the village to find the detective bathing in the sea.
“Detective,” you say. “I’m pleased to note you availing yourself of the facilities.”
“Kim, it’s fucking freezing,” he says, seriously. His hair hangs wet and limp, darker like this, and his chops draggle down his face. He looks like a half-drowned dog you had once seen Eyes pull out of L’Esperance.
You’ve got to let him use your shower, you decide.Set in Martinaise.

Summary
You’re both extremely drunk the first time it happens.
The same with the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth times.YOU: Why does this keep happening?
HALF LIGHT: Because it’s scary to do it sober.
YOU: For Kim, too?
COMPOSURE: Sure. But for different reasons. The lieutenant is tightly repressed. Imagine all that longing crammed into his 167 cm - 10 stone frame. It is unspeakable.
CONCEPTUALIZATION: It’s tangled in there so tight he can’t even pull it out and go through it. It’s all just…there.
YOU: Doesn’t that hurt?
PAIN THRESHOLD: Immensely.Bookmarked by aphelion
