Summary
The day RED Sniper spared an injured BLU Scout, he noticed that something about this guy was suspiciously off. In fact, he had long ago begun to notice: there was *something* off about everything around here.
Or in other words, how does it feel to find out that all this time the people you and your friends fought... Were your clones?
Who the RED and the BLU actually were? What other horrors were hidden from mere mercenaries? And what was wrong with the *faces*? Scout and Sniper from the opposing teams secretly bond together to find this out.
Welcome to a story of forbidden friendship, conspiracy, and existential dread!

A glimpse into Casey and Wake's walk back up to the car after finding Wake on the lake shore
“You’re the one who put me and Anderson in your story, you must have had a reason.”
Wake doesn’t deny that it’s his story, and Casey smirks. Wake holds his head, like it’s hurting. “I… maybe, I don’t remember. I… It must have been me, but I don’t remember writing it.”
“Oh, it was you. I’ve read enough of your writing to recognize it when I see it.”
“You’ve read my books?”

Summary
“Now,” the soldier says, unmasked and without his filter. Gordon’s stomach drops, and it’s not because he’s going to die; it’s because those are tired green eyes that stare at him with a crease as the soldier smiles. It’s because of that hair, dark and messy, spiky all over the place but lined with more grey than he remembers. “about that beer I owed ya!”

A test one-shot for Half Life, because I love Barney Calhoun so dang much. Gordon is selectively mute. Because I like to project, he also has ADD.Bookmarked by whymadswhy

Summary
They really shouldn’t be doing this. It’s one in the morning, and tomorrow’s a big day, the day--the day Anomalous Materials finally finds out just what the new specimen is. It should be no problem for Anti-Mass Spectrometer. It’s an important test, for sure, but you just don’t cancel movie night, so Gordon is going through with this. Having Barney in his room, on his own bed, mere two inches away from him...he feels like a teenager.

A movie night fic with Gordon and his dense, action-loving best friend, who he pines for (and is unsure if the other feels the same).Bookmarked by whymadswhy

Summary
Barney and Gordon often dreamed of a life beyond Black Mesa. It was no secret that Gordon had become disillusioned with the private sector, Barney had become disillusioned with everything, and relocating seemed like a safer option, in more ways than one. No matter the circumstances, though, it turns out some things never change: Barney is always running late for work, and Gordon is always with him, one way or another.
