Summary
Rhys Strongfork, a 24 year old working woman, a young programmer who's an assistant manager out of a duo which she has her nemisis playing the role of other assistant manager. But he's undermining her every time.
Until he goes too far, and now Rhys is going to Handsome Jack's little pet project as a manager who's running the casino for him. Just barely above his dopplegangers, but still a delicate image of a perfect feminine beauty in a position of power.
But Hugo is long forgotten when Timothy Lawrence appears only for Rhys in her own horror to recommend the club manager to the B&B club along with a brief flirt who liked Rhys before the sweet robotic arm.

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
The idea of going to a new school had never really sat right with Rhys.
He’s torn. He misses lots of things about his old school—his friends, the people he’d been with since kindergarten, the niceties of knowing every inch and corner of the building. And yet, there’s a part of him that feels lighter here, something he hadn’t expected. Maybe that place had been weighing on him more than he realized. The routines, the expectations, the way he felt trapped in his own image—it had all grown too predictable. Too suffocating.
That is, of course, until he meets Jack Lawrence and his awkward twin brother.

Summary
Rhys Strongfork.
A low level Hyperion programmer that no one hardly batted an eye to. He wasn’t important. He was a liability that they could afford to lose. To the company itself he was nothing.
He didn’t know what it was that Jack liked about him so much. Perhaps it was because he was just closest to the door when he tossed his old PA out the airlock. Who knows? But Jack had quickly promoted him from “Low Level Hyperion Programmer” to “Handsome Goddamn Jack’s Personal Assistant”
