Epistle3 | |
| Epistle 3 (Fanfic) | comment |
Epistle 3 is a non-canon short story written by former Half-Life series' writer, Marc Laidlaw, and is a possible scenario taking place after Half-Life 2: Episode Two. The original fic swaps out names, events, and places from the games, with most characters being gender-bent. For the sake of convenience this page will refer to everything and everyone by their original names.The story is written as a letter from Gordon Freeman addressing the player and retelling the events that had taken place after Eli Vance's death. | |

Adaptational Sympathy | |
| Epistle 3 (Fanfic) / int_39a41690 | comment |
Adaptational Sympathy: Dr. Breen, who sold mankind to the Combine with no remorse, is depicted as a slave to the Combine who lives an undignified existence as a giant larvae. Gordon even confesses feeling "a modicum of pity and compassion" for his former nemesis. | |

Just Think of the Potential! | |
| Epistle 3 (Fanfic) / int_5517f7a5 | comment |
Just Think of the Potential!: Some members of the resistance are of the opinion that instead of destroying the device inside the Borealis like Eli wanted, it can used as a weapon against the Combine. | |

Gainax Ending | |
| Epistle 3 (Fanfic) / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: The only thing one can make out from the odd ending is that Freeman finds himself far in the future where he doesn't recognize anything, and no one recognizes him. | |

Back from the Dead | |
| Epistle 3 (Fanfic) / int_8967e17f | comment |
Back from the Dead: Dr. Breen, as Breengrub. Although the original Breen is dead, a digitized copy of his persona - the one unaware of his original self - is uploaded into a grub-looking host body. | |

Eldritch Location | |
| Epistle 3 (Fanfic) / int_9bee1a7f | comment |
Eldritch Location: The Aperture Science vessel, Borealis, is floating through time and space, being simultaneously everyone and nowhere at the same time. Although the Combine have put focusing devices to force Borealis to manifest itself into reality, even they can't bring it into form without Mossman's resonance keys. | |

| Epistle 3 (Fanfic) / int_b8c34249 | comment |
Galactic Superpower: As Borealis sails into the heart of Combine's power, Gordon sees "everything". The vastness of the Combine is so beyond human comprehension that even Borealis, Earth's most powerful weapon, would barely register. | |
