Summary
". . . and just as quickly as he hadn't been, Sniper was alone."
There's an unfortunate lack of companionship when you keep to yourself as much as Sniper does. He likes being alone, he really does! At least that's what he believes, until the Spy comes along to shake the boat.

Summary
After a decade out of his job, the retired Frenchman is called again by no less than the Minister of Defense himself. There is a case to solve, that only Lucien can deal with. So he puts on his suit and tie again and flies to Australia where his target is.
He does a good job on his own, until a certain wild kangaroo barges into his mission, and his life.

Summary
“It’s gonna be a long couple of weeks, you gonna be able to do it?” Sniper challenged, a hint of playfulness behind his words.
“Of course I can, who do you think I am?”
“Just checking,” Sniper grinned and clapped a hand on Spy’s shoulder, “I’ll take the first watch.”
“Oh, good, I can finally rest without being flung about in the cabin because of your horrible driving,” Spy said dryly, shrugging off Sniper’s hand.
“Sleep tight, sister,” Sniper said under his breath, watching Spy leave.Bookmarked by Renoott

“you fucked up, idiot! i’m gonna fucking GET you–” He scooped up Gordon in one hand.
Gordon remained completely motionless and silent. His arms were still held out stiffly and his head didn’t even turn to track Benrey’s movements.
Benrey paused. He rattled Gordon like a soda can. “bro? you lagging? i can start ov– i thought you were ready to…”
He held out his hand flat. Gordon stood in that weird pose on his palm. That pose… He knew it. What was it called–
“are you really A posing right now?” Benrey huffed out a laugh. “freeman, did your controller disconnect? you gotta– you’re playing the game wrong.” He huffed out a laugh. “stupid.”Bookmarked by Renoott

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
He asks, “Dr. Coomer? What’s wrong with our world?” And Coomer looks at him with open surprise.
He doesn’t say anything for a while. Coomer’s eyes search his face for answers, like he’s seeing him for the first time, then emotions begin to flicker across his face. Realization. Guilt. Sadness. Anger. Then, finally, his face shifts into something gentler than Gordon was expecting.
“Gordon…” Coomer trails off for a moment. “Do you like video games?”
(Or in which Gordon learns he’s an AI trapped within a video game and is determined to be more than just the story that’s thrown at him. Which eventually leads to him choosing to bring Benrey back home with him himself.)

“I’m going to be a professional streamer.” Benrey told him during dinner that first weekend, like it was the easiest thing in the world. “Gonna have, um, tons of simps subbing to my channel.”
“There’s no way that will work. It’s an oversaturated market and you have to be streaming for a long time to build a brand and be successful.”
“Killjoy.”

Summary
Benrey has always been enigmatic to Gordon, from his ludicrous powers to his generally nonsensical motivations. But more confusing that any of that is what the fuck Benrey wants from him.
Against his better judgement, he decides to figure it out.
“I mean, what the fuck is up with him?” Gordon said. “One minute he’s— He, he tries to kiss me, and the next he’s chasing me with a fucking knife! I mean, he’s just gotta be crazy, right?”
“It, uh, doesn’t sound crazy to me, Mr. Freeman,” Tommy said.
“…What the fuck?”
(or: through his own convoluted thought process, gordon ropes himself into hate-dating benrey. it’ll probably be fine. and he definitely won’t have to deal with any underlying feelings that will surface.)

“Come along, Gordon, let’s stop wasting time,” Dr. Coomer says, and Gordon glares up at him.
“I’m shot,” he says between gritted teeth, and Dr. Coomer frowns.
“That’s no excuse to be a layabout, Gordon. Chop chop, now!”

“What’s on your face?”
Gordon blinked. “What?”
Benrey’s eyes were flicking back and forth, and his eyebrows were drawing together in an odd expression, and - hang on, his model’s textures were fixed, his eyes didn’t move, what the fuck -
“I’m - it’s - glasses?” Gordon tried, frantically attempting to remember what his character model looked like right now. Wait, wasn’t he supposed to have the HEV suit’s hood on? Had he forgotten to do that?
“No, it’s not,” Benrey said, and reached up with both hands toward Gordon’s temples. “What is this?”
Gordon shoved out to try to push Benrey away, but then -
The VR headset moved.

Summary
After the Game, Gordon Freeman thought that he'd finally have a moment of peace -- some time to adjust to the new apartment Black Mesa had gifted him, talk with the Science Team in a situation where none of them were actively worried about dying, take care of Joshua, and finally live like, y'know, a normal person.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like he can escape the Game's influence -- and, equally as unfortunately, somebody he's familiar with doesn't seem exactly like they want to, either.

Summary
Benrey opened his eyes. And then closed them. And then opened them again. There was no change, which was weird. Above them was the same black nothingness whether their eyes were open or closed. With monumental effort, he lifted his hand and waved it in front of his eyes and crossed “going blind for mysterious reasons” off the list of explanations for what was happening. They also started a new mental list titled “why my body hurt so bad” because ow, why the fuck did lifting their arm a few inches make their whole body ache.
“Seriously, can I not catch a single break? Ever?”
Oh yeah, something had woken him up. A voice, ranting within earshot of them. That’s three out of five senses secured, win for Benrey.
He sat up slowly, groaning when that proved even harder than lifting his arm. They rubbed their face as their brain started kicking into gear. The voice that had woken him was loud, irritated, and familiar.
The spark of recognition lit in their brain and their head snapped up so fast something in their neck popped. Ow, fuck, that hurt, but he had a bigger problem. That bigger problem was Gordon Freeman standing ten feet away from them in the void.
