Summary
Five years after the Liberation War, a mission to extract a mole in the ADVENT Remnants goes horribly wrong. With the threat of traitors amongst XCOM's ranks, former operative William Mackenzie is pulled out of retirement. William enters into a world alien to the one he left behind, a world trying to rebuild from the destruction of the Liberation War and wipe away the taint of the Elders. He soon finds himself falling down a rabbit hole of terrorist plots, schemes and conspiracies in a secret war that could end XCOM itself.
And leading him into a new world is the only survivor of the failed extraction: a jaded, chubby, French-accented viper.

Summary
The war is over, the planet liberated, but much still lies in ruin. New clashes with old in distant battlefields, while most still struggle to get by. Isolation may be the best hope for survival, or should one be open minded of the new world? Who's to say.
Even so, humans are naturally social creatures, struggling greatly if deprived of companionship. Fifteen years of isolation would be enough to drive most men mad, for example. But then, perhaps Edmund was already mad? For why else would one be so acceptant of unseen things, waiting and watching from the dark corners of the mountain forests? What's a man to do when the shadows are the only real company he's had for such a long time? Resist the unknown, or explore and embrace it? It would be safer to avoid it, true, but perhaps he's been lonely long enough. The worst it could do was kill him, right? But then again, all actions have their consequences...
TL;DR A lonely man is being stalked by a Viper in the mountains. Stuff happens.

Summary
The war for Humanity's autonomy is over, the alien despots of Advent have been overthrown by Xcom and a new age is on the horizon. However, world changing events do not occur without a price. Power vacuums were created in Advent's absence, their alien pawns, once completely under control, now have found their own autonomy, the land and its people are forever changed by their presence. All that's left for Humanity and Xcom to do is pick up the pieces, rebuild, and decide what to do with their former enemies. In a successful city state, located in territory once called the United States, a young man, from humble beginnings, does NOT have the power to fix ANY of these problems. To be fair, it's a big job, and he has his own problems to deal with. Life in the city isn't easy, everyone has to contribute, even him. And it's hard to decide what you want your future to look like, especially in a world filled with so many possibilities, but perhaps his new job will give him some direction. Will he be driven insane by the mundane environment and monotonous labor? Probably. But, will he also meet someone who interests him enough to pull him out of his comfort zone? You'll have to read to find out.
