    Summary

    Set after Rhys and Fiona reach out for what they think is the treasure of a lifetime in the Vault of the Traveler, our two heroes instead find themselves separated from their friends. How will they get home? And how will they even figure out where they are in the first place? Meanwhile Sasha and Vaughn search for their lost companions - and face a few trials of their own.

    All relationships are implied unless they are canonically confirmed. I wrote this as part of the Borderlands Big Bang of 2017. Enjoy!

    Keep an eye out for artwork based on this fic from my partner in this Big Bang business, by Sanzo. Find their blog with their fabulous art here - http://sanzosin.tumblr.com/
    I can now admit publicly that my fic was inspired by one piece of their art in the first place. Seems fate brought us together.

    Summary

    exulansis
    n. the tendency to give up trying to talk about an experience because people are unable to relate to it—whether through envy or pity or simple foreignness—which allows it to drift away from the rest of your life story, until the memory itself feels out of place, almost mythical, wandering restlessly in the fog, no longer even looking for a place to land. - The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

    --

    Five years ago, Rhys spent the night of his dreams with his number one celebrity crush, Handsome Jack. But the next time he meets his idol, Handsome Jack doesn't seem to remember him at all.

    Broken and alone after the fall of Helios, Rhys finds something he always knew he wanted but could never admit to himself: one of Handsome Jack's doppelgangers, working as a prostitute. Now, Rhys can live out all of his fantasies, and maybe work out some of the uglier feelings that experience had left him with.

    Summary

    It was never supposed to come to this; the Somerset cartel hires only the best, and Timothy Lawrence is the best art thief around-- only it looks like Interpol Agent Wilhelm Sauer might be the tiniest bit better. Now Timothy faces a choice - a lifetime in jail, or a commuted sentence if he turns on the cartel and helps bring in his boss.

    The only catch is - he has to work with the agent who brought him in.

    Wilhelm did not see this coming; but when has that ever been true about Timothy Lawrence? The thief is slippery, can't be trusted. Shouldn't be trusted. They'll work together, bring in Somerset, and that'll be the end of it.

    That's the plan, anyway.
