    Summary

    Barney was smothering laughter, that much was clear from the crinkles around his eyes and the shit eating grin that he’d been learning how to wear for the first time in years. To his credit, he did give a half-hearted cough when they made eye contact. He seemed to choke on his words a bit before properly forming a sentence.

    “Now uh… what exactly are you s’posed to be?”

    Gordon looked down at himself, pointing at the half-connected chestplate, signing sharp and flat, “Gordon Freeman.”

    Summary

    He thought of prey animals squirming under the ever present eye of an even more present threat. Of false senses of security. He thought of smug smirks and flayed skin. He thought of striking blue organs contrasting deep red blood.

    Summary

    The swingset he had sat on to stargaze was one of the few things of this new world he understood. And Gordon guessed that was because, like him, it wasn’t new at all. The entire playground stood, an endless reminder of what had been lost. A symbol. A grief. A prayer. A promise.

    It had remained. The swingset, rusted and broken and forced into complacency of horrors remained.

    ~~

    or; the story of a revolutionary, as told through an abandoned swingset.

    Summary

    But this was not a normal cycle. Moon could not feel her Can. She was not connected to her umbilical. Her neurons were flitting around aggressively, pushing against her face, concerned. She attempted speech, to calm them.

    She chittered instead.

    Summary

    Now, he didn't have much experience in car maintenance- he was a veteran, not mechanic, but he assumed seeing smoke coming out of the engine was not the best thing ever- especially not in the middle of fuck nowhere, Texas. Unless he managed to miss the 'Welcome to Colorado!' sign while driving, and he was even more fucked than he previously thought.

    A quick round of swears and stomping around the car for a moment, and Din was back in the front seat, warming up his previously numb fingers. His phone sat in the cup holder, average, boring case, and Din managed to use half-pinprickly fingers to pull up his GPS, finding the nearest town- a small place called Mos Pelgo.

    Summary

    Din was, for the second time that day, grateful to have his face covered, if only to hide the flush across his face.

    The room was… clearly set up with… interesting intentions in mind. Dim lighting and a nice bottle of wine, red roses on the table. Cobb was wearing a smug grin on his painted lips. They were sat across from each other, knees close enough to touch.

    Summary

    "Y'sure you're ready for that? It ain't a happy story."

    "Neither was mine."

    "I wish it hadn't gone sour the way it did. Never thought grief looked good on me."

    "It doesn't."

    Cobb reflects on the past and present, and how they've changed.
