I want an au to talk about here so bad so here's a post introducing my Combine Gordon au

Basically, the plot of the au goes as thus:

After the resistance uprising in City 17 began due to Gordon's return, Breen knew something had to be done with Gordon to prevent him from ruining everything he had worked for "for humanity". However, after killing Gordon didn't work, Breen realized that Gordon had a set of skills that the other combine soldiers did not. Thus, instead of continuing to send troops after him to kill him, he decided to reason with his "benefactors" to spare Gordon, and instead turn him into a combine soldier, giving the combine an upper hand against the resistance by removing their leader.

The advisors agreed, under one condition. They would keep gordon's skills and memories, but he will be altered in every other way, to the point where he can barely be considered Gordon Freeman anymore. Breen agrees.

Gordon is later captured in a combine ambush on his crew, and taken to the citadel to go through, as Breen calls it, "rehabilitation", where he's put through multiple surgeries to change both his genetic code, and to add multiple cybernetics, also effectively reprogramming him to be on the combines side.

With Gordon no longer a part of the resistance, its up to Alyx Vance to take the mantle of humanities savior. a task she was never prepared for.
