Summary
It's been 60 years since Neo and Trinity's incursion into the Machine City. Neo and Trinity are dead, and while their sacrifice did initially bring peace, a schism soon developed among the Machines, leading to civil war. In the midst of the war, The Analyst rose to power among the Machines and built a new Matrix from which no one has escaped in decades. The human/Synthient alliance is starting to lose hope. Many think that rescuing anyone from The Analyst's Matrix is impossible, but Bugs and their crew believe that they've found a way to break people out, and will go to any lengths to free the rest of humanity from The Matrix forever.
This fic is what I wish Matrix Resurrections had been. Yes, I'm rewriting the whole-ass movie.

Summary
"The realization seared through her rage, her grief. He hadn’t let go, and neither had she. Despite everything, they had never stopped reaching for each other. And now, sixty years later, they had finally found their way back—back to them, skin to skin. Back to the only place that made sense in this entire, mad world."
Set immediately post-Resurrections, this story focuses on Neo and Trinity's reunion and Lexy and Bugs's romance, as well as the challenges facing humanity at this newest inflection point in their conflict with the machines.
