and here's part two

ON A NEED-TO-KNOW: A Half Life 1(and eventually Half Life 2) Gman/Barney Swap AU run by @mail-me-a-snail

Security Chief Calhoun is the chief of security at Black Mesa, but he’s rarely seen by anyone, much less the security team and the administrator. He watches over Gordon, as well as a few other characters of interest, as they make haste and escape from Black Mesa. He takes the place of G-Man.

  Agent Michael is a government agent who’s moved to Black Mesa, after having been at rival company Aperture Science for a good 13 years. He keeps all lawsuits and OSHA violations under wraps; he prefers to do things nonviolently, but he does have formal training with a number of firearms. He takes the place of Barney.

welp. here we are gang: two years later, and not an update in sight. as you mightve noticed, the blog's header has been changed to announce the bad news: on a need to know is on indefinite hiatus.

i enjoyed writing it as much as i enjoyed your participation, love, and support for it, as much as i loved half life at the time. but i can no longer interact with half life or this fic because it came about during a very weird time in my life that id rather forget

so...thank you. all of you. thank you all for the love you gave for this fic. i won't be deleting this blog, nor the fic itself. it'll stay up because after all this time, im still proud of it.

while this isn't an update—sorry, y'all, that i can't give you a date for when im continuing the fic—i just wanted to say: thank you.

thank you for having been there, thank you for being here now.

im not abandoning this fic, even if the HL fandom has gone dormant again. i really, really love this concept, and i want to show you all what i had in mind—and im going to.

but for now, thanks for sticking around ♥️

while the change in my writing style is going to be jarring, i hope future chapters will make up for this lil hiatus 😭

i introduced security chief to an rp im in and the first thing my friends oc did was kick him in the ballz

honestly <3 he kind of deserves it <3

[security-chief-calhoun]

Hello, i still use calhoun in roleplay sometimes but sometimes i use him to scare away silly goofs but it has failed. the goof has now simps calhoun and i cant escape :D (i made the original calhoun vampire thing if you remember me :3)

aw! im so glad you still like him!! and yes, i LOVED that fanart!!

[security-chief-calhoun]

Is this still active?

unfortunately, for the time being, no ;u; i do plan on coming back to the fic, but both that and this blog is on hiatus for now.

[security-chief-calhoun]

hi it was so nice to see you on my dash again :)

hi ^w^!! sorry there haven't been any updates lately. ive gotten a new hyperfixation since the last chapter (a few of you who follow my main might know what hyperfixation that is, lmao).

thank you for sticking around :)

[security-chief-calhoun]

hey hey! reuploading this bc i JUST uploaded it to my redbubble! u can now get these chill tunes as a sticker ^w^

[security-chief-calhoun]

this Black Mesa ™ PSA on office privacy was sponsored by Vicks VapoRub, the Rub that just keeps on Vapo-ing.

yeah. I do the same thing and I thought it'd be really funny if SCC did too, also take this as your regular dose of fanservice ♥️

[security-chief-calhoun]

on this day, august 15, in the year 2020, i began writing and publishing what would become my favorite contribution to the half life fandom: the gman/barney swap au, otherwise known as the "security chief calhoun" au!!!

we've been through 12 chapters with these three dumb idiots, their dog, and a complete lack of braincell between them--here's to--hopefully--many more!!

thank you all who have read the fic and left comments, kudos, screamed under art and asks...thank you. <33

[security-chief-calhoun]

some swap au instagram requests ♥️ they fucking turned swap au character sc calhoun into a marketable plushie (yours for only four hundred dollars)

[security-chief-calhoun]

Hiya Calhoun! You'd said that Agent Michael knows Morse code. I was just curious, do you know it as well? And if so have you used it any time recently? Again, just curious...

"Well, all government and government project officials should know their Morse code! I can't tell ya how many sticky situations I'd still be in if I didn't know it."

"Some of the lights 'round Black Mesa tend to flicker, so it's always fun to try and figure out what they're saying. Government what-have-you's tend to be painfully boring--you gotta make do."

"As for if I've used it recently...well, he never responded."

[security-chief-calhoun]

if y'all would like to leave some asks—questions for the characters/me, your favorite moments, etc—feel free!

golly, can you believe?

the first year anniversary of this au is coming up! (August 15, to be exact)

I would've really loved to release a chapter to celebrate, but unfortunately I start classes right around that time ^^" I do have a drawing in mind, though!

So, come August 15—thank you all for reading the fic so far :)
