    The war is over and everyone goes their separate ways until Marco suggests something to drag them back together.

    (Or: the road-trip fic where everyone needs therapy, the teenagers attempt to have teenage experiences and Rachel never died.)

    Summary

    "Barney’s eyes flutter open and meet Gordon’s, and Gordon feels his ribs contract around his lungs as he exhales, his breath leaving him. Barney’s expression is unreadable, a slight furrow between his brows, normally hazel eyes nearly black, and he just stares right into what feels like Gordon’s soul, doesn’t look away -- it’s agonizing, and it feels like the seconds crawl by at a fraction of their usual speed, Gordon’s lungs getting smaller and painfully smaller, searching for something to say, but his already-fickle voice has deserted him altogether."

    Barney makes it to White Forest.

    Summary

    The generation that came of age during the occupation of Earth by the Combine, colloquially known as ‘The Last Generation’, was a unique assembly of soldiers, survivors, and fighters. Their childhood nursery rhymes sang the legend of their liberator Gordon Freeman; their early education was in survival instead of literacy. To a human who had not spent their childhood in warfare, they were borderline incomprehensible.

    To Gordon Freeman, their college professor, they were a headache.

    In which Gordon Freeman teaches community college, Alyx Vance has her great coming of age story, and Barney Calhoun pines like extinct vegetation. And in which everybody grows older, but nobody grows up.
