   Summary

   Do you wanna read a story where nice things happen to the cast of Half-Life 2? Where the story goes just a little bit more their way?

   Where sometimes they get to actually talk about things that are usually glossed over?

   A story where Gordon gets put in Doctor Breen's Office instead of on the train to City 17?

   Bad things happen, but this isn't a harsh story. (Almost) everyone will get a happy ending, don't you worry.

   Summary

   This story takes place in an alternate universe 10 years after the events of season 2.

   Lukas has been travelling the world, studying biomes, cultures, and all the nature they each have to offer. BeaconTown has been on his list of destinations he's always wanted to visit, but when he finally gets there, he's shocked to find it's not all the tales and rumors have lived up to be. The BeaconTown he's been told of is no more. Many mysteries await him in town, and in the forest beyond it's border.
