Summary
If Gordon thinks about this situation too hard, he’s gonna have a panic attack, he can just feel it. So he stares at those emails and resolutely endeavors not to.
Most of it is the usual - contacts from other research facilities, contractor updates, the occasional undergrad messaging him about his work - but one in particular catches his eye. Sign-ups For The Inter-Disciplinary Black Mesa Baseball Team! He didn’t even know they had one of those.

Summary
His work here is almost done.
The countryside burns, the bodies stack up, the world becomes cleaner. Were this anywhere else, he'd be moving on, continuing his work, migrating with the swathes of people as they tried in vain to escape.
But there's just one thing keeping him here. His little secret.
The house on the hill, one of the few with the lights still on. His favorite place, with his favorite person. One of the last few pleasures he allows himself.
One particular night, he decides to indulge.

Summary
He could almost see the spark of pleasure flowing up from his core to his head, racing along networks of nerves until it burst into a tiny firework, right in front of Benrey's face.
What was that?
“Nothing,” Gordon said quickly. “Don't worry about it.”
Worry? It felt...good. Benrey's presence stretched in his mind, like it did when he was feeling out a new sensation. Really good. Do it again.
A continuation of my HLVRAI/Venom crossover.

And they were college roommates by Second_to_none

Summary
That’s the problem. It’s hard enough to get work done as it is, dealing with stress and ADHD alike, but then the fates had to add the worst roommate imaginable into the mix. Of course Gordon doesn’t have enough money for a single room, the scholarship barely covers a room on campus. He is far from the only one having to suffer in a shared cramped space. Although he wonders if anyone has to share it with someone as aggravating as…
Benrey and Gordon are college roommates and things are not going well, until Benrey offers to help out a bit that is.

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
After the events of HLVRAI, Gordon shelves Half-Life for good. Or so he thinks; his viewers are dropping like flies now that he doesn't have a gimmick. But when he discovers Benrey festering away on his hard drive, he thinks he's found the perfect solution: his fans get to see Benrey again, he gets to pay back his student loans, and Benrey doesn't explode his computer out of boredom.
It's a win-win scenario. What could go wrong?

Summary
Logically, he knows, it's the blood loss. He runs through the symptoms in his head. Dizziness, pale and clammy skin, shortness of breath, weakness, confusion. Rapid heartbeat. He checks them off, and thinks, yeah. He didn't go to medical school. The knowledge he has of these things is juvenile, and he can't trust any of the walking logical fallacies around him to know any better. This will be the way he dies.

Summary
The Crisis is as follows: in a month’s time, he’s initiated the resonance cascade, had his arm forcibly removed, fought an eldritch abomination, had his arm forcibly reattached, and jerked off with the same eldritch abomination that had just been trying to kill him not a few weeks before. It’s a lot to take in.
And now he's got an invitation to come over and "play some Street Fighter". Gordon’s not totally goddamn clueless. He’s heard of subtext before. That doesn’t mean he has to like it, he thinks aggressively. If he just keeps thinking it, maybe that strange, electric thrill in the pit of his stomach will buzz off.

If this is a dream, I'm happy you're having it with me

It was then that he realized just how unnaturally silent the forest was. The only sound to be heard was Gordon’s own heavy breathing as he turned from side to side. It was as if every animal was collectively frozen, holding their breath as they hid out of sight. The air hung heavy in the air, thrumming with a nervous energy as not a single breeze went by. It felt as though time had stopped and Gordon was caught in a loop, unknowing until just then.
A twig snapped in the distance. Gordon spun around and faced the noise.
In the distance among the tree line was a tall and dark shadow, unnaturally still.

Summary
Postal Dude is damn sick of this new guy in town, Duke Nukem. He decides to play petty and messes with his ride, but now he has to pay for the damages. Let's hope this transaction stays entirely professional and isn't multiple days of two men in their 30s trying desperately to not be gay for each other.
