   • This was tagged as romantic comedy but that probably gives the wrong impression
   • Because its romantic. Its character driven. I try to make sure its comedic even when heavy.
   • But romcom tropes are not particularly present
   • A lot of mortality talk and some references to past unethical science
   • I will wrangle the lore of this dingdong webseries
   • Into worldbuilding if its the last thing i fucking do
   • If you think anything should be warned for
   • dont hesitate to let me know and ill add a warning to start of chapter notes
   • Added an oc tag bc there Will be just a few plot necessitated ocs

   Summary

   Gordon isn't particularly happy about his new roommate, but if he can't get rid of him, he might as well make an effort to understand the guy. He's got a PHD and he's got at least one research resource, how hard could it POSSIBLY be?

   Author's Note: please, god, dni with me or my writing if you consume or create nsfw content of hlvrai, ESPECIALLY if you think of or portray benrey as predatory. I want nothing to do with you if you do or support these things.

   Summary

   Spiritual Successor to "It Came From the Vents." Gordon Freeman has spent three years trying to stabilize the AIs he befriended after a disastrous end to a military project. He's stolen company property, ignored his family, and neglected himself in hopes of success. Now that he's made progress, it's becoming increasingly apparent that one of the AIs in question may not be a program at all. No one can say for certain what this revelation will lead to, but one thing's for sure: HR is going to have a field day with this one.
