Summary
The smell hit him head on when he walked into the store with Vaughn. He wasn't expecting any scent this powerful to hit him head on like a train full of cinnamon and apple wood. What made it worse was that it was easy to spot the source of it. The smell came from the greeter of the small store. An omega who stood tall and proud in his uniform despite his lower class. He hadn't looked like any omega Rhys had seen before. He was tall, strong-
"Are you gonna keep staring at me all day princess? If so, fuck off!"
-And incredibly pissed.
"Bro! Do you know who that is?!" Vaughn hissed from behind him, feebly trying to keep out of the view of the omega. "That's Jack! He's extremely violent, especially to Alphas. Stay away from him, he's dangerous."
But how could Rhys? Jack had the most amazing smell in the world, and he wanted him badly.

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
Anyone mind if a white boy pumps out a canon-adjacent corporate AU?
Rhys works at Hyperion up on Helios, which is already bad enough... And then Handsome Jack promotes him. In a room full of people. He’s fine. Definitely not spiraling into a morally ambiguous, confused, career-ending crush. Not at all.
Now he’s Jack’s personal assistant. The job has its perks: a shiny desk, a sweet view, and front-row tickets to whatever’s going on in that guy’s head.
He didn’t ask for any of it. Not emotionally, professionally, or ethically. But Jack has plans. Pandora keeps (sorta) spinning, and Hyperion keeps rotting from the inside out.
Do NOT work for your evil CEO unless you want to cry in a Very Expensive Chair.

If not for their lives -then for the company everyone is trying to destroy or steal. they will do this for Handsome Jack and his Daughter. It is the very least they could do.

Summary
On the night of a wedding he never wanted, Rhys finds himself ripped from a life of silk lies and social obedience—and thrown into the claws of something far older, far crueler, and far more devoted than any man could be.
The Bosbeskermer, a monster said to haunt the woods outside his estate, is no bedtime story. He is real. And he’s been waiting.
Bound by grief, rage, and a love that curdled into obsession, Jack remembers every word Rhys ever wrote him. Every letter unanswered. Every promise broken. Now Rhys is back—dressed for another man, speaking with another name—and Jack is ready to collect what was always his.
But monsters don’t just want revenge.
They want worship.

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
“You were supposed to hand me over, you know that right?” Rhys nods, completely avoiding eye contact.
“And yet you didn’t, why is that?”
“I couldn’t. I was too worried they’d fuck up somehow and I-“ he pauses for a moment, “We, would lose you for a second time.”
Or
Rhys never blows up Helios and has a chance to fix everything.
