Summary
Four years after the Black Mesa Incident, a gang of Outlaws including former Bureaucrat Orla Maguire and her Physicist Step-Brother, Gustavo Freeman are decimated following a disastrous heist in Panama, scattering them to the wind, and sending Orla adrift to another world, with a blonde noble girl glaring down at her.
Claire Francois must now teach this upstart commoner, who appears to go by Rae Taylor, the proper ways to act in Bauer, while attempting to truly decipher who she is, why she does what she does, and why she keeps talking about 'Home' as if it were some far away place. Rae, formerly Orla, must hold out and come up with a plan in the scheming shadows of Bauer if she wants any chance of seeing her world and family again, all while continuing to work for Claire, and realizing they have a much deeper connection than she initially thought.
In Panama, Dr. Gustavo Freeman comes face to face with Melia Francois, Claire's long-deceased mother, whilst also facing evidence of string theory, and the yet-unknown to them threat of the Combine Empire that is now aware of Earth's existence. Time will tell, the currents are swirling... can Outlaws and Nobles truly find redemption?

Summary
A few things happened in quick succession when the Resonance Cascade occurred.
First, Gordon Freeman's vocal chords were fried out, rendering him incapable of speech.
Second, he was flung backwards, and given strange, eerie visions of aliens and monsters from other worlds.
And third, the typically empty voice in his HEV suit began speaking to him-- as if it was alive.(Or, SQUIP's new host, and the worst 48 hours of their collective lives.)

Summary
It’s been 3 months since Tommy’s birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. The Science Team has split apart, living their lives freely and separately from one another. Bubby and Dr. Coomer went on to pursue research together in a different Lambda facility that wasn’t destroyed from the inside out, Tommy went back home with Sunkist and his father, and Gordon returned home to live his life as he did before. Minus an arm and some sanity, that is.
Everything was as close as it could’ve been to how it was before the Resonance Cascade. A sense of normalcy, and a well-needed break from everything that had happened over the course of just a few days. A period of time that felt like months while it had happened. Gordon couldn’t help the feeling that despite his best efforts, he was still connected in some way to what happened at Black Mesa.
Peace only lasts so long though, and did they really think they’d get away from everything that easily? They didn’t finish everything they started, after all. Someone was still waiting.

Summary
Gordon's helmet seems to be lost, and he decides that it isn't worth spending more time to look for it when he's already late for the experiment. This choice leaves him disfigured; marred forever.
Or; a retelling of Half-Life where Gordon suffers the (semi-)realistic effects of being only a few yards away from the Resonance Cascade blast without his helmet. Oh, and Barney's with him too, lest this alternate universe be too boring.

Summary
Your name is Dr. Yen.
You are a MIT Graduate, of course, and have applied to work at Black Mesa ten years ago. You went up in the ranks exceptionally fast to the point you've landed a role in the Sector D Administration Department. In this department, you were allowed confidential information and practically became an auditor to the facility for the testing lab material budget. You oversaw a few designated major projects for Sectors C, D, and E.Working under Administrator Dr. Breen, you were to ensure safety, priority, and budget was considered for your assigned responsibilities.
You, Dr. Yen, were not only known as an administrative overseer but also a caring scientist. Though it seemed all your mind was focused on is work. You still were part of the family within Black Mesa. But, people in general did not catch your attention as much as alien life, new universes, or large reality-warping rockets.
But then, one day, there was one extraterrestrial being that appeared in your life. At first, a simple bureaucratic offering his services. Then a mysterious unknown entity entirely.
You must learn more about him.
Perhaps he'll consider you, too? -

Summary
Every so often, the haze of instinct clears and his mind is made well-aware of the reality before him. After trudging through hallways of chaos and death and killing completely unfazed, he'll happen upon a body dressed in blue. No matter how many times Gordon sees a dead guard, he can't become numb to it. His heart pounds, his blood runs cold, and his steps grow heavy.
Every time, he bears the dread that pools deep in his stomach as he waits for his world to end for the second time that day. He wills himself to stare down at the corpse, mind zeroed in on a single question. He breathes a shaky sigh of relief when he doesn't see the face of Barney Calhoun.

Gordon and Barney reunite in the midst of the Resonance Cascade.

Summary
A scientist, a student, and a brother. We know what happened to Gordon Freeman on the day of the resonance cascade, but what about those in the background? Scientists, left to try and escape. Citizens plagued by portal storms. And what about our hero's family?
This is a story about the voices we don't hear from. The ones who aren't heroes. The ones just trying to survive.
