(latest edit - 21/02/2021)
Atlas AU - our main timeline, follows events of Moxxiâs Heist. lots of different concepts and ideas but the core really is Tim moving to Promethea to get help from Rhys. gonna sort em here with posting date, check the ao3 series for the âtimelineâ
Hypothetically - 2240 words summary:Â Rhys talks a lot, but usually thinks about it too little.
coffee, cats & monographs - 2880 words summary:Â âHey hey, easy. You donât want to repeat the accident from last week, do you?â Rhys cooed towards the cat and picked her up, just as Timothy instructed him to. Hearing these words, Felicity meowed. âOh, donât say that. This is my office and I have the power here,â he answered, carrying her back to his personal space.
Or Timothy's cat pays a visit to Rhys' office in the morning. note: I am a stupid mofo and at this point Tim would also have Loader Bot fkjbfd just imagine hes not mentioned cause hes wandering off, typical LB
Have Faith - 1470 words summary: During the 7 year lockdown at the Handsome Jackpot, Timothy couldn't really have any hope for himself. But maybe on Promethea it could be different. note: sudden feelings while watching JoltzDude139â˛s stream
Warm Cheeks, Cold Hands - 1170 words summary:Â Rhys comes home early and wants to say hi to his husband. With no ulterior motive. None at all. note: first fic Ive ever posted where characters are married, actually. fuck it, Rhysothy Real, his name is Rhys Lawrence
the battle (and the aftermath) of the ages - 2970 words summary:Â In a situation like this everything was possible, they could pull any punches they could think of. Four beasts playing against each other, every single one of them thinking of striking the winning blow.
Or Promethea Squad plays UNO. And then watches a movie. note: I love Promethea Squad with my whole heart
okurimono (č´ăçŠ) - 4/4, 17170 words summary: âNot a bomb. Just a device with a message for Rhys. Trust me on that,â this time an emoji of both winking and showing off a tongue [;P] appeared on the surface of Zer0âs helmet. Ah. So they were definitely trying to mess him up. In a way. Unfortunately, he really didnât have any other options. Almost with a defeat, Timothy took the ECHOrecorder right from their hands and looked around it again. Or Zer0 gives Timothy a peculiar mission. note: my first ever multichapter fic. took me legit abt 8 months to finish but I am absolutely satisfied with this. also the bonus ending. yes
(there is) something I see in you - 8690 words summary:Â How one Rhys Strongfork met one Timothy Lawrence and how they fell for each other. More or less. note: best to go into this one blind, I swear. dumbest fic Ive ever written and please take this as a recommendation
this world is gonna pull through - 14380 words summary:Â Timothy really hoped it wasnât anything important. He had that tendency to forget things easily, even if he tried to fight it. But Rhys kept on smiling and went by his side. So it couldnât have been that bad. Still dumbfounded, he felt Rhys leaving a kiss right on his cheek.âNovember 11th?Â
That- That seriously doesnât ring any bells?â Rhys continued, brushing his hands against his shoulders. Or how Timothy spent one of his birthdays. note: also a love letter for Tim but a nicer one I guess kdjfnb dont ask how old is he i have no gdamn idea man
Strawberry Sweet - 3560 words summary:Â Rhys surprises Timothy with a gift for their date night in.
Happy Mercenary Day, Mr. Lawrence - 4670 words summary:Â How Timothy spent his first Mercenary Day on Promethea. note: I swear this is the best writer night Ive ever had. Ive written this whole thing in one night on Christmas day, solely on the inspo of that song I linked
Donât Go Wasting Your Emotion - 4/4, 17080 words summary:Â Afterwards, he went around with his usual duties. Getting a quick roundabout from his PA, checking several sectors himself and looking through the thousands of messages already sent to him via ECHOs. Rhys was ready to finally take on the day, yet when he made his way to the office, he saw the unusual envelope right by the edge of his desk. âFor Rhysâ was written on it. Straightforward enough. Or Rhys gets a letter from a secret admirer. note: another multichapter fic!! this one also took some time and well. its inspired by ABBA songs. cause only I would write a Rhysothy fic inspired by ABBA
Ratchet Effect - 7130 words summary:Â Knowing just how much overworked Rhys has been, Timothy wants to let them have a nice getaway in Lazy River Land. There's only one problem to overcome - ratch infestation. note: first fic of 2021!!

After the confession of Handsome Jack's AI in his head and his plan to infiltrate Helios, Rhys needs to set things right with Timothy. Somehow. note: thanosdancing.gif to Backstreet Boysâ âI Want It That Wayâ 80â˛s remix and a guest appearance from Ferocity but I cant legally say her name here
still here - 2820 words summary:Â It all had to go down, after Helios crashed. note: I have...a love/hate relationship with this one kjdfbfg I like it but itâs honestly an alternate ending and doesnt fit within our usual bad ending, so take it with a grain of salt. i ten jebany bĹÄ d jÄzykowy w summary, kiedy ja go poprawiÄ
together at last - 5590 words summary:Â It all struck him down in an instant, in this one minute. They were all safe. And they were all alive. Nothing was threatening neither him, nor Timothy, nor Fiona. He could finally breathe out.
They all found each other again. note: I am multitasking most time of my life but I dont relate any other fic to multitasking more than this one. I was honestly doing 10 things at once while writing this dfkjbndf

building in curved lines - 22490 words summary: âTo be fair, you look terrible. Youâre barely standing in one piece and none of your coffees will hold you together for that long,â Lilith paused, seemingly weighing the correct words in her head. âYou havenât really been holding on since⌠We rescued The Double.â Rhys sighed heavily. Why did she have to be so right about everything. Or how Rhys and Timothy adjust to the reality after the Handsome Jack AI. note: bday gift for Spok, EASILY one of my absolute faves and the longest fic Ive written thus far
outside of AUs - some concepts I play with that are honestly outside any of our concrete timelines/concepts + fics not focused on Rhysothy
Real - 770 words summary:Â Reconciling with your past is a little easier, when you have someone you love right in your arms. note: first blands fic Iâve ever written. the characterization isnât really there yet but as a first shot at the game and my kind of âintroductionâ, I am still satisfied of it
(Un)Familiar Faces - 9620 words summary:Â Timothy pursed his lips and leaned over the wall a little. Heâs had enough of this solitude of closed doppelganger cabinet. Today wasnât the day for another self-loathing session. Today, he should go off on Helios and do something for himself.
Or Timothy spends the night at a Helios bar. But not as Handsome Jack. And not as Timothy Lawrence either. note: personal favorite of mine, tough love letter to Timothy Lawrence. I have so many fond memories of writing this, including getting drunk out of my mind just like Tim and Rhys here
basics of survival - 2010 words summary:Â Athena taught Timothy everything he needed to know about survival. Now, it was time to put these skills into use. note: wrote this right before rona outbreak on last day in my dorms. thats all
