  1. Summary

    Chris Redfield is a good friend, but an uncompromising idealist who lives in a black and white world.

    There are some secrets you just can't tell a friend like that: stories of temporary alliances, office affairs, gatecrashed Christmas parties, mad-dash raids of hidden research facilities, and so much other fraternizing with his oldest enemy.

    The truth is, Albert Wesker is more morally gray than Chris could ever comprehend, and everyone knows it but him.

    Major canon divergence after RE 4.

    Summary

    When Ethan was fourteen, his world went up in flames. When he was fourteen, he took his mother's gun and escaped the city with a wagon of other survivors who knew better than to betray their names or faces to the smiling people in uniforms who claimed to be aid workers. He learned early that help is not always help, and that people are rarely who they claim to be, or even who they think they are.

    He learned early not to let anyone else decide for him the difference between monsters willing and monsters made.

     
    (Or, Ethan Winters, instinctive parent, Raccoon City survivor, and That Guy who the Gods just cannot seem to let die, does not kill the severely abused, mentally ill child bioweapon he finds in Louisiana. Instead, he takes her, and runs. To say this changes things is an understatement.)

    Summary

    Sephiroth was Hojo's son. But he was also Lucrecia's. And that was why, given a chance, Vincent would try to save him. That was why, given a chance, he would go back and try to help keep him on a better path.

    Because when you loved someone, and they were gone, you made sure their kids were okay. And he should have realized that the first time around.

    Summary

    Fascinated by his potential viral immunity following his infection in Spain, a resurrected Albert Wesker abducts Leon S. Kennedy to his laboratory for experimentation purposes. He doesn't expect Leon to be a charming and formidable sparring partner who lacks the coyness of most of his captives.

    When Wesker learns of Chris and Leon's relationship he quickly develops feelings of jealously he doesn't quite understand. He has the resources so he might as well kidnap Chris too and sort it all out. His façade of control slips and the limits of his strength are tested when Leon realizes that his captor is just as much a captive as he is.

    Summary


    And the little bird sings.
    A few hitching breaths, then: “For the sake of your health, general, I hope you’re not planning to—” he loses his breath, coughing, “to try to get out of these caves without guidance.”
    Grievous cackles, the sound echoing and returning to him through those many, many dark pathways. “Perhaps I am.”
    He inclines his head, meeting the general’s glazed eyes. “Though I fear you won’t be here to find out.”
    To his credit, Kenobi doesn’t respond to the threat, nor to the lightsaber moving higher and into position, simply locking his eyes with him, a certain kind of determination awakening within the weary, pain-filled depths. “I could lead you out.”
    Interesting.

    Or, certain things are best not faced alone.
