Matrix Recs, post 2 of 4 - by ship/author

[doranwen]

updated 2022-07-28

This post is the second of four posts of Matrix recs, organized alphabetically by major ships (then author and title). (For Matrix recs organized by time in canon & length instead, go to my master recs post for the links.) I will endeavor to keep it updated as new fics are posted.

To help people avoid Matrix: Resurrections fic if so desired, all fics relating to The Matrix: Resurrections will be marked as follows:
+ based on trailer & other advance spoilers only
* based on the film

I have included my own fic in this post. I have marked it as a favorite (because I do re-read it from time to time!), though there are several fics of mine in other fandoms that I do not consider favorites. It's not marked as exceptionally well-written because I couldn't objectively evaluate my own work that way, even when I particularly like the way I wrote something.

As always with my db-generated lists, ratings are all converted to a single system for convenience:
Fanfiction.net - G through R
AO3 - PG through X (though the occasional child-friendly fic I mark G)
anything without a rating (AO3 or other site) - Unrated


I have tried not to spoil readers too much.
Most of the fics in this list are given with no information beyond author, title, rating, word count, major ships, and the summary the author gave it.
However, my database does store information on themes, which cover everything from grammatical things like tense & person (I mark for present tense, first person, second person, and direct address), to format (poetry, songfic, 5+1, etc.), trope (fake couple, stranded together, etc.), general feel (angst, fluff, etc.), and warnings (major character death, non-con, violence/wounds, etc.).
If you would like to see the themes for the recs from any of the lists below, please comment and let me know so I can reply with that information. It is very simple to generate the recs for a large list of fics in such a way that all of the themes are listed.
If you would rather just have a list with certain themes excluded, please also comment to let me know which one(s). You can find the full list of themes here, titled Fanfic Themes.


Any R-rated or X-rated fic from The Construct requires a password to access; you can find the password on their site here. Please note that because the original author summaries are now included, some summaries may contain explicit or other adult language.

The fics below all have only Neo/Trinity as a major ship. If there are any minor/background ships you want to avoid, please leave a comment and ask for a list to be made for you. Note that ships may refer to one-sided or unrequited ones as well as to requited/mutual.

Neo/Trinity

40 Cardamom Pods - All Night Long, 6450 words, X
He should have known that she wouldn't make this easy for him. Trinity was among the fiercest warriors of The Resistance and if Neo wanted her to surrender, he was going to have to work for it. She wriggled her legs loose, wrapped them around his lower back and ground against him until he threw his head back, gasping. He did not, however, loosen his grip on her wrists, Trinity noted with approval. Still... "I hope you know what you’re doing soldier," she taunted. "If you're going to challenge a superior officer, you'd better have a damn good plan."

40 Cardamom Pods - All Tied Up, 7568 words, X
"What? Don't tell me you're ready to go again?" Neo let out a huff of amusement. Give him some time and he absolutely could go again. But he had something else in mind. Trinity was always the one to take charge, even if he was the one to initiate. He wanted to give her the opportunity to relax and let him do the work. "No, I was actually thinking we should try something new if you're up for it." Trinity raised her head off his chest to look at him. His eyes held a devilish look and she was intrigued. "Like what?" she asked, taking the bait. Neo knew she couldn't turn down a challenge. "Well, I was thinking, what if I tied you up...have my way with you and make you feel good."

* 40 Cardamom Pods - Erogenous Exploration, 8644 words, X
Neo didn't have any intention of stopping. In fact, he realized with delight, if Trinity had one new erogenous zone, there were bound to be others. He suddenly had a new life goal: discovering every newly pleasurable place on Trinity's body, mapping them in his mind, and exploring them. Thoroughly.

40 Cardamom Pods - One Zip Away From Heaven, 8335 words, X
As if he didn’t already feel like the luckiest man alive, Trinity was making him wish for new Gods to thank. On second thought, he decided to simply worship her. Starting with her boots. He felt her eyes following his every move as he bent forward and placed a kiss on the toe of her right boot. The leather was warm and earthy, like Trinity herself after a long day at work. He turned his eyes up to check for her approval. Trinity smirked back at him, and wrapped his leash around her wrist until it was taut.

A Child of Earth - 1096 Days, 5700 words, PG-13

+ CJShips - Reunion, 2974 words, R
Happy Matrix Resurrections Day! Just in time for it to become AU, I humbly present my imagining of how TriNeo could reunite. --- When she opened her eyes, the man she loved was before her.

Another chance to hold each other and communicate without words. *** An exploration of how Trinity and Neo, as strong individuals and reunited soulmates, might be finding their way a couple months post-M4.
