    Summary

    "Congrats then." Jack let out with an unbothered smile.

    Rhys shrugged his eyebrows. His chest throbbed in an odd manner, stinging as if he took a handful of roses in his human hand. Is it supposed to feel like when he announces he's about to be a newlywed to the man he hasn't seen in two years and whom he dismissed after taking months to bring back to life?

    "And why am I here then?" Jack continued, "I bet it isn't just to announce your wedding, or is it?"

    Rhys just kept his silence.
    No, it definitely wasn't just to announce his marriage.

    "Or what am I for? Bachelor party?"

    "No, it's not..." Rhys stopped. It might actually be.
    He didn't have one yet, since both Vaughn and he were extremely busy these days.
    "Yeah... Why not. I really just needed you for... for"
    For? Think Rhys. For?
    "Just need you for a drink right now."

    Summary

    After Marie lost so much on Pandora, she felt like a shell of herself. Her best friend dead, the man she loved betrayed her, and back on the Helios station; she could only take comfort in the knowledge that her brother was at least alive, safe, and loved by the Slab King. But Marie can only bury herself in the repair bay for so long, as Jack plans to show her off at an orchestrated debut ball. Pushed into the bright stage light of Jack's world, Marie finds herself as an unwitting participant in the knife-edge dance between the leading corporations, with someone watching her every move obsessively.

    And in the middle of it all, the voice in her soul continues to grow louder and louder. Something, or someone, is calling her back to Pandora, beckoning her to return to the heart of this neocolonial war and discover the true intentions of the Vaults.

    Summary

    A MOST RIVETING ARRANGEMENT OF SNIPPETS FROM AN ADJACENT NARRATIVE
    FEATURING FAMILY, RUTHLESS CAPITALISM AND THE HORROR INDUCED AGONY OF REALITY
    KEEP YOUR RIBCAGE SHUT AND YOUR MIND UNWOUND
    PUBLISHED BY [REDACTED], A SUBSIDIARY OF THE JAKOBS CORPORATION

    A Borderlands rewrite, with a twist. No, several twists. More twists than... a pack of cinnamon rolls? If cinnamon rolls were full of tentacles and space magic, that is.

    Rated M for roughly the same reasons the Borderlands games are rated as such.

    Content warnings distributed on a per-chapter basis, please familiarize yourself with the chapter summary before reading a chapter. Assume spoilers for any and all "new" Borderlands content (except the movie lol) because I am *that* kind of guy.

    New chapters roughly every 2 weeks.

    If you have any questions or suggestions about this fic, please shoot me an ask on my tumblr @wainwrightjakobshammerlock.

    Summary

    Jack gets bored while on a business trip to his casino one night, and decides to get it on with that cute guy he just happened to run into. Turns out said guy is called Rhys, and that Rhys is not only one of Jack's data miners at the Handsome Jackpot, but that he also just discovered a heist targeting the casino. And whether he likes it or not, that means Rhys is now in on the hunt for the thief.

    Important Note: As much as I love Borderlands 2 and Tales, I hate anything that happened after. So any Borderlands 3 or New Tales lore is nonexistent in this fic, with the exception of the Handsome Jackpot. I love the concept of that place, but hate the canon execution of it. So I grabbed it and twisted it to my liking. Aka, please do not expect any accuracy here, but just roll with it <3

    Summary

    The Ruined King’s hunger knows no bounds. Having conquered Runeterra in sorrow and shadow, Viego, the undying monarch of the Black Mist, seeks to expand his dominion beyond the borders of his world. But to drown the other worlds in Ruination, he requires more than mindless wraiths. So, like any emotionally unstable monarch with a ghost army, he does the logical thing: he kidnaps the most chaotic, egomaniacal, and downright unhinged villains from across the many universes to serve as his Ruined Champions.

    Of course, it doesn't go as planned. Nothing ever does for villains.

    Or

    A ragtag motley crew of bad guys go on an adventure to kick Viego's misty ass.

    Summary

    Mornings with Jack are a strange kind of perfect.

    Even now, it still catches Rhys off guard—waking up beside someone who used to live behind every nightmare, now turned into something warm, familiar, and steady. Jack’s arm is draped over his waist, his breath slow against Rhys’s neck, his legs tangled up in the sheets like he’s afraid Rhys might vanish if he lets go.

    He doesn’t say it, but he thinks it—over and over like a prayer.

    "Please let it last."

    Spolier Alert: It doesn't.

    Or......

    Rhys is Kidnapped and Protective!Soft! Handsome Jack is NOT Happy about it.
