Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Goodnight
fandom: hlvrai/half life characters: gordon freeman, benry, dr. coomer, bubby, darnold, tommy coolatta, g-man, sunkist, joshua freeman, dr. wallace breen, barney calhoun, alyx vance, eli vance, judith mossman, dr. isaac kleiner, dr. arne magnusson, uriah ships: dr. coomer/bubby, tommy/darnold, gordon/benry, gordon/barney wordcount: 276,098 chapters: 62/62 other notes: knowledge of half life 2 is encouraged but not required! also, this all technically takes place in the same setting as “could i try again”, but that’s not required to understand this fic, it’s just background on dr. coomer/bubby.
Half Life: the game everyone exists because of. "Reality" is a complicated mess, and the Science Team can only really start to untangle it all after they finally leave the game. Where are they now, though, if not a video game world that constricts them to very particular roles they were meant for? Who are they now after the game, if not NPCs, or the player? What exactly does it mean, to not be real? They may be living post-game domestic bliss, but that doesn't take away from the things they went through. They've got a lot to unpack.
IMPORTANT: some links here will be embedded with the “chapter [x]” text while others will have a plain link right below it as well. the plain link will be mobile friendly when viewed in a browser! this fic has some custom html and i have to use pages on my blog to maintain it, but for some ungodly reason mobile doesn’t allow for pages, so it HAS to be viewed off-app, in a browser :/ there’ll be the normal embedded link for desktop version where the text isn’t massive, too.
lastly if you notice any formatting issues or broken/fucked up links or anything like that, PLEASE let me know and i’ll fix it!!! this was a beast to reformat and it’s hard to go thru and check like literally every single link. anyways please enjoy the fruits of my labor
