Summary
Neo's a wanted man. Destroying Smith may have ended the war, but assimilating the virus kills his body and casts him from the Source as an exile. Haunted by visions of destruction and a corrupted RSI, he seeks the Oracle's help. Soon a power struggle emerges in the real world, threatening the delicate truce. And the Merovingian? Well, some men just want to watch the Matrix burn. [WIP, post Revolutions]

Summary
1. We're playing each other's parts today. Tomorrow we'll remember ourselves.
2. That night he dreamed his soul fled between breaths while he slept, pouring through the closed window.
3. You love that girl, you better make sure.
4. I can't really say why we deviated.
5. You miss who you were, Black Mesa said. Here's a reminder.
6. Please, he prayed to smoke-smudged Velcro sneakers. It's selfish, damned monstrous. But all of that, from before, I don't need it. Not the overtime, not my anger, not my pride. You; you are my constant; I need you like my lungs need air.
Six lessons Eli has learned in life.

Summary
For years, Barney's suffered a slow, silent drowning. He concedes ownership of his body and mind to the mask, leaving him with only complicity. The end result is he can't bear being perceived, least of all by himself. The briefest of glances feel like blistering accusations.
Just when he begins to entertain thoughts of dissent, he meets someone who refuses to look away.

Summary
They knew who she was, but no longer understood the reasons that stitched her together. Alyx Vance had died in the harmonic field. She watched them grieve her in every averted gaze.
The faintest brush of oblivion spurs the most intimate animal terror in their cells. And so, knowing she is woven of brighter starlight, she must dim or be destroyed.
Alyx struggles to readjust. Sequel to "Path of the Borealis." One-shot.

Summary
She's spent forty years fleeing her cousin. Only now does she dare look over her shoulder.
Once upon a time, Maria Robotnik wanted for nothing... So she thought. Ivo's tantrums seemed a small price to pay for her cushy life in Grandfather's manor on Earth, cured of her illness and the ARK signed over to the government in exchange for their silence. What did a young boy's childish insults matter, as long as the family was together?
As Gerald was often fond of telling the budding genius: a broken toy is nothing worth pitching a fit over.
Perhaps it's fate, then, that the Eclipse Cannon requires two sets of fingerprints to fire.
Be his friend, Grandfather told her. A cruel promise she cannot keep.

But remember: just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

Summary
Despite all the years Uhtred had served Alfred, he couldn't believe he had never understood what his king truly wished for, and luring him into fulfilling his greatest wish had been a great idea until it wasn't, but even that was going to be fruitful. For a while, at least.
