Timothy didn’t mind his job. He just minded the mess.

Locked in some public restroom he scrubbed his hands clean. At this point he should be used to the mess, however the way blood got underneath his fingertips was too annoying not to take care of. Only because he forgot he was supposed to rob the guy before he killed him. Hence he stood there, the rose scented soap working its magic. At least he would smell good afterwards. Which wasn’t always the case.

Taking a hefty amount of water in his hands, he splashed his face around a little. Timothy took a good look at his face. Then he sighed. Same old, same old, same old everything he hated. Even after all this time.

It’s been a pretty long time since he went back to this city. Spending most of last year working around in the casinos of Las Vegas, Timothy truly never expected to be back. A convoluted story his life was, really. First he does some business with his CEO twin brother, then said brother sends him and his best friend on a mission to take care of his casinos. For the casinos to, of course, be overtaken by some of his brother’s goons who turned against him. And blamed Timothy since, well, he and his brother were almost identical, save for Timothy’s freckles and gaping scar across his face. Which started several long years of Timothy’s life, fixing up the messes. Especially with bloodthirsty fuckos that he was seeing on the daily. The usual.

Now he finally came back. Dealing with all the problems, he came back only to see his brother’s business grow exponentially. Shiny buildings and big areas. It was a thing to behold for sure. Just that his brother didn’t change at all and seemingly got even worse. And back home Timothy had only one thing to do – be the hired gun for that company.

There was something so perfect about mundane mornings like these. Early Promethean sun, steaming cups of coffee, no meetings scheduled yet and Timothy. He was the most important factor.

The truth was his life was always at the highest speed possible. After all, what else could have been suitable for the Atlas CEO? Though with so many things on his mind, Rhys truly realized there was nothing better than an easy morning of sorts. Where the facility was mostly quiet and coffee from Lor’s coffee shop was as hot as it possibly could. When his eyes were filled with lazily moving holoscreens and the only thing he had heard was his favorite sound – Timothy’s voice, of course.

Maybe everything else moved at high speed and Rhys liked that. But the more he lived the more he realized he loved the slowness too. Hence he tried to cherish these moments. When there didn’t have to be any words spoken and no pings of messages could have been heard. Sometimes just the look into Timothy’s eyes was enough. A sign he was there always and forever.

This particular morning Rhys typed another email away, hearing Timothy’s words gone by and taking note of each and every one of them. He had offered him the chair so many times, but Timothy always chose to sit on his desk. And Rhys liked that. It was Timothy’s way, after all.

“Agh, it kinda sucks re-learning how to drive after all these years,” Timothy continued his story. “I mean, pfft, do you think anyone cared about anything like this on Elpis?”

“I-I… Nah, you know, I drove through Pandora, so I don’t think so,” Rhys shrugged playfully, taking the coffee cup to his mouth.

“See! It’s a. Wild jungle out there. Concrete one for that matter,” he laughed at his own joke. Oh, how Rhys loved to hear so. “Aaaanyyyways, on Elpis we just didn’t care. I remember one time I basically flipped the car and yeah, I think Athena lost her patience there, even for me.”

“Yikes. That– That-That sounds terrifying.”

“Oh c’mooon, you know how sweet she usually is,” Timothy brushed him off.

Absolutely not terrified of her, Rhys nodded shortly, “Yyyeahh. Ekhm, I mean, you know, my Vault Hunting adventure started with me stealing a car so I guess it’s comparable? Maybe?”

Usually the flashing sign of Moxxi’s bar signaled a good time. This time however the only thing Rhys could feel was anxiety.

Stepping from side to side, his mind was racing once more to get himself together. What he was about to do required some kind of well, moxie. But Rhys was determined. He rolled up his sleeves to his elbows and pressed his lips together. Even if the nervousness was swallowing him whole, there was a reason for all this. The most important reason in his whole life, of course – Timothy Lawrence. So he breathed out and let his robotic legs carry him towards the inside of the bar.

The things seemed to stay the same in Sanctuary III since he last was there. Not that he really liked it here to begin with. All he did was to say hi to the newest Vault Hunters and avoid Claptrap as much as he could. The same could have been said in terms of Moxxi’s. It was just as he remembered with the flashy neon signs and slot machines. Patrons brought together, enjoying their time there. What he truly came there for was just at the counter.

Weirdly enough, being Zer0. And Moxxi. As she was working around her bar and they were drinking some whiskey Rhys didn’t know the name of. Seeming to chat away, not caring about anything. Well, it was all about to change cause Rhys wanted them to care. Real hard.

Hence he stepped in and slammed his robotic arm onto the counter. Slightly. He didn’t want to break anything, of course.

“I need your help,” Rhys said frantically to Zer0 (so much so they showed the exclamation point [!] on their helmet) but as he realized the situation he looked over. “Hi, Moxxi. Wait, actually, I need both of your help…s. Plural.”

The Sunray Chaser

fandom: Borderlands relationship: Rhysothy word count: 15920 rating: M warnings: check the fic's notes please summary: Ever since Handsome Jack died, Timothy tried to live a life on his own. Every day filled with the same tasks and empty thoughts. Loneliness swallowing him through.

Until one day he rescues a beautiful stranger.

It’s been like this every single day since he had escaped.

Wake up. Stare at yourself for too long. Recall every painful memory that got you there. Maybe punch that picture you keep around, just for a little bit of mood boost. Even if it didn’t help too much, an artificial smile on his face was still worth it. Then go hunting. Maybe at the end, after you collect the loot and carcass do something for yourself. And repeat. The wonderful life of the ex-doppelganger it was, right?

Timothy didn’t want to dwell too much on this. Ever since he had escaped Handsome Jack, he had tried to keep it low. Hence right there and then in the wastelands of Pandora he snuck around, hoping to find enough to eat for the next following day. Surviving from one to the other – that was enough.

Or at least he tried to act like it was. Definitely took getting used to but Timothy seemed to get a grip on the situation. Day by day, he walked through the desert, hiding in the shadows just to catch something. On the right days, he could get creatures going around the carcasses. It usually meant a bounty for two. Yet on some days, the areas were dry. The Dust’s sandstorms assaulted his eyes as he tried to shoot just a random skag, walking around. Today was definitely the latter.

It was still a surviving game of all sorts. Right after the death of Handsome Jack, the whole Pandora changed to reflect it. People everywhere burnt billboards of his fake smiles welcoming them to Pandora. From what Timothy had heard, there were people ready to kill the doppelgangers for existing. And even the last piece for Hyperion, its’ value of weapons started to collapse. As people didn’t even want to kill with weapons made by a dictator.

Despite all of this, Timothy kept going. Hiding around the rocks, finding perfect positions to snipe from. Life seemed to verify his skills one by one. Thankfully, the conditions just like these were what he had trained for. For all the things Handsome Jack took from him, he at least gave him an opportunity to learn how to fight.

Or maybe it was another curse in disguise. At least without it, he’d be as dead as all other doppelgangers.
