A Fine Line by theantichrist420
Fandoms: Borderlands (Video Games), Tales from the Borderlands - Fandom
16 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Tate Parks is one of the best programmers in his department (almost as good as Jack), who tends to be late to nearly everything he does. What will happen when one day he's late to a meeting with other departments that the infamous Handsome Jack attends?
*Most of the first half of this takes place slightly before the events of BL2 and then a little bit after. The rest is mostly during Tales from the Borderlands. It will be slightly off the canon story.*
Please excuse the huge change in writing as you read. This story has been a growth for my writing as I've grown while writing it.

Helios Human Resources Cannot Help You Now by caninessink

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.

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”

Summary
Author's summary:
There was once a man called Jack, and he had been betrayed or abandoned by everyone he ever cared about, and he decided that if he ever cared about anyone ever again, he was going to betray or abandon them first.
Then Jack made a friend. His name was Rhys.
Chapter 5 of Tales happened. Rhys kept the eye.
Welcome to the fix-it. It's gonna take a while. (It'll be worth it.)

Summary
“Felix, I’ve dreamed of the day I get to spend weeks torturing Handsome fucking Jack, and you tell me I need to befriend him?! What, I’m just supposed to walk up and go “Hi, I’m Rhys, lets be besties but actually I hate you and everything you stand for please let me rip out your spleen?!”
“Why not?”
Rhys really regretted his life choices right now.
Work is now considered complete.
OCT 2024 UPDATE:
Chapter 8 is Complete. Chapter 9 is a bonus scene.
Chapter 11 thru 14 are notes/chapter summaries only. Basically I'm abandoning finishing this work, so you might as well get to read what was planned but never wrote. (read more in my authors note at the start of Ch10) -

TFTBL AU: Just wing it! (Season 1 Ep 5) by shinakazami1
Fandoms: Borderlands (Video Games), Tales from the Borderlands - Fandom

Summary
Rhys was a programmer, so maybe he wanted to eat pizza as his last meal. Sad and pathetic, but plausible.
"You could get into that blade and let me cut you in half."
"Okay!"
Every step Rhys took to the machine was filled with such overenthusiasm, that it made Jack sick. Where was the fun in just watching the guy joyfully walk into the blades? Typically, there was something in such acts - heck, he paid Rhys the price of making him a CEO for ten minutes so he would just get killed but…Where was the fun in that?

A TFTBL AU where, starting from episode 5, a small little plan changes the course of the story and the universe.Series
