Summary
A bit of a skeptic for idol worship, the last place you expected to find peace of mind was at the center of Hyperion.
At least, it was better than feeling imprisoned on a coveted beach planet, confined to your homelife and the goals set out for you.
As an aspiring novelist, your thirst for something more seemed to push you in the direction of new opportunities, and not in any sense the safest kind.
Before you knew it your dirty shoes had fallen upon marble flooring, and your eyes and ears played witness to what few would call the greatest tragedies of the age.
(AKA, that one fic where I spout backstory and insert the reader into the past lives of Rhys and his unfortunate associates.)

Summary
What do you do when your PA/boyfriend is flirting with another person from the Sales department?
You delete their hot chocolate order, and forget exactly what time of the month it is.
Jack really needed better coping skills. Maybe also some better observational skills, too, now that he thought about it.

Summary
This is a fic exploring Rhys' time working for Hyperion up to the start of Tales from the Borderlands, fleshing out some of the sparse details we were given about the eridium mining deal, the cybernetics, and what living on a place like Helios will do to a guy's psyche.
(“I thought you were trying to help me. This isn’t helpful, it’s just – you’re a pessimist.”
“Uh-huh. And you’re the sucker who took those power of positive thinking workshops to heart.”)

Summary
Rhys is pretty good at handling shitty situations. He's managed to balance climbing the cutthroat Hyperion corporate ladder and paying for his lunch-leeching best friend's lunch for years, all while raising his daughter on his own after his fiancee (and the mother of his child) jumped ship.
With all his amazing skills, a stupid crush shouldn't even put a frown on Rhys' pretty, pretty face.
Except for the fact that this crush happened to be on Handsome fucking Jack.

Summary
After escaping the Vault of the Traveler and the chaos that ensues, Rhys, Vaughn, Fiona, and Sasha work together to hit their stride as a fledgling group of Vault Hunters. But the eyes of Pandora are wide and wary, and their actions, accomplishments, and Rhys’ strange new abilities do not go unnoticed.
When Felix sends a trio of notorious figures from Handsome Jack’s past after the unsuspecting group, they react the only way any sane person would: with complete and utter panic. Meanwhile, Rhys’ homicidal ex-girlfriend Stacey has joined forces with August, straining the alliance between his bandit gang and the Children of Helios. So... who are they most worried by?
Everyone. They are worried by everyone.

Summary
“Well,” he said finally, halting a heated discussion over who the best Batman was as he scraped back his chair and stood. “Thanks for the food, but I really should- should really be going.”
“Are you insane?” Sasha asked incredulously. “It’s like the freaking apocalypse out there!”
Another bolt of lightning dashed through the sky as if to prove her point, and the wind was strong enough that the whirring sound of it was noticeable even from inside.
“You’re staying here tonight,” Sasha said, her tone unallowing of any protests.
He turned to Fiona for help, but she simply shrugged. “She’s got a point."
-----------
Rhys didn't expect his visit to the con artist sisters to end in an inadvertant sleepover, and he especially didn't expect it to be the time he was forced to reveal the secrets he kept buried deep inside.

Summary
Rhys cannot handle change, no matter how much he prepares himself for it. How is he supposed to be, torn between (what the professionals like to call) 'a business act', or a chance to be himself?
That surely can't be cool, now, can it?
But he's finding he kind of likes this Vaughn guy...

If only he knew, just how wonderful he always found him to be.Series

Summary
Rhys' corporate, cutthroat ex-girlfriend Stacey happens to be one of the survivors of Helios' destruction, but Vaughn isn't about to let drama from the past ruin his chances of banding the surviving former Hyperions together. No matter how much he might hate her guts.
But as the saying goes, old habits die hard.

Summary
A little spin-off mini-sequel to Revolver Reloaded.
After the dust of the wreckage and the Vault has settled, she sets her sights on a new target and Rhys is not about to let August be fooled like he was.
Edit: there are a few continuity errors since this/Revolver Reloaded and Something Strange weren't originally a part of the same series, but they are now. Might go back and fix later.
