Physics of the Crowbar
A parasite sprang from the rubble and he smashed it down viciously. The crowbar pinned it to the floor, its innards leaking even as it scrabbled for escape. The thing whined and screeched and died, fighting every second. Maybe a biologist could have told him why the thing was hostile, or what mechanism drove it to seek a human host, but he was not a biologist. He was a physicist, and he'd decided to live. - Narrative of the first game. Cross-posted from AO3; complete work, 32 chapters. Rating is for cannon-typical violence. No spoilers for later games.Complete
When The World Went Quiet
After an invasion from an unstoppable alien empire left the globe in ruin, Pine, a former soldier who was at Site Zero of the cascade, finds himself trying to make his way through the infinite wastes of what once was while battling the perceived guilt of having failed to prevent the end of the world. Author's Note: While this is a Half-Life AU, it's written in a way where you do not need to have played the games to understand what the story is about. It's extensive in its explanations of concepts and creatures. That being said, some elements may be more enjoyable if you are a fan of the franchise.

I already know my power sucks! I don't need a school to tell me that. But now I'm here. Just me and Kade, Against the world. ~~•~~ This story is about a hero who is very kind and outgoing and always looks out for everyone, A hero who never gives themself credit and is struggling to figure out who they really are, And a hero who once had happiness and love, and threw it all away.

Biodroid: Dawn of a New Age
After the last world war shattered the calendar and erased borders, humanity's only hope was unity. On a scarred Earth, survivors rebuilt not just with tools and machines, but with fragile trust. From the ruins, a new kind of life emerged: biodroids-living constructs, born of lost science and desperate hope, who became both partners and mirrors to the people who shaped them. But peace is never simple. As old ambitions rise in the shadows, the line between protector and oppressor blurs. In the heart of a settlement that refuses to surrender, a new generation of humans and biodroids must confront not only the threat of conquest, but the mysteries within themselves. Bound by a connection deeper than flesh or code, they will discover that true strength is not found in circuits or steel, but in the courage to trust, to change, and to stand together when the world demands they stand apart. In a world where instinct and will collide, and where the greatest battles are fought within, the dawn of a new age is not just survival-it is awakening.
