Rhack Gods au
put simply rhys is a god of creation/life and techinaclly the ‘Queen of Gods’ (like hera) and jack is god of ddestruction/chaos/death (?) angel is a demi god aswell as the other sirens hence the markings of rhys…
I’ve got a few ideas that i just need to put together into a fic.
feel free to ask questions of drop of your own ideas
( i would of put more time into it but my tablet isnt working correctly and ic an only stand it so for so long.)
I did another animatic!!! I put SO much effort into this one! Because this is my favourite game! And this song fit so well! I hope yall like it!!!
And i forgive you >
Angels side to my old rhys post (I can’t hyper link or this doesn’t post)
(rhys included in the photo is from my timeline (pre transformation))
(rhack implied,(gaigel too kinda, just imagine that gaige asked angel about the photo) in my future fic timeline rhys and jack knew each other and where an open thing before the borderlands game. yup this implies that angel is alive, because she deserves some happiness ^^ inspired by one of the bioshock 2 endings lines )
(tablet is still broken so i cant put much effort into this to make it look better)
(as always feel free to ask me about this)
(Edit: if this actually turns up in the tags can someone let me know because i cannot find it in the tags and nothing i have done solves this) thank you @snugglebugparisa for tell me it has turned up, hopefully whatever was stopping me from not posting is gone

In this moment eternity
(rough sketch full of inaccuracey because i was inspired but too lazy to get references, also this nothing new i just like the way elpis reflects through the windows)
An Angel Kills a Valkyrie
coloured sketch because i was .istening to sad music while trying to figure out where angel is in my future fic, alive or dead. (this probs isnt cannon in the fic but it looks nice anyway)
symbolisims: lance assassin sword = rhys past. vault = things that torn their faily apart eg jack. blue arm = ai jack. Elpis = Elpis
-The stars are far away and hold such beauty, but he shouldnt be here.
not now at least.

Prompt fill : ‘Do you want me to leave?’
It was sudden the way he awoke, one moment he was consumed in the darkness moments and words from the past echoing around him, bouncing around him, drowning him in the sea of darkness as it consumed him, dragging him down into its darkest depths.
And then he was awake. Eyes open wide and unfocused as his heart decreased in rate and he resettled back into the cold reality before him.
He was on his side facing the window, the view familiar but wrong. The pressure at his hip as a hand rested their, the pressure of a leg hooked over his own, a breath on the back of his throat, all wrong. Wanted and craved, but wrong.
He shouldn’t be here.
At least he shouldn’t be here still.
But he didn’t move, didn’t shift or try to escape to amend the sense of wrong, he just laid still breathing in and out in sync with the breath behind him warm and wet against his neck.
He continued to stare at the stars and returned to past thoughts about them, waiting for pressure around him to cease when the other awoke.
He would enjoy this while he could, moments like these were always so fleeting.
-
Hours passed before the body behind Rhys joined him in waking. The arm clutched tighter the breath seemed to exhale in a sigh and the leg shifted higher as if jack himself was trying to save the fleeting moment before them both. Before they both amended the wrong they had created in the first place when they could not stand a lover’s embrace, each consumed and haunted by their own past and present transgressions.
Rhys would be lying if he said he didn’t miss the times where this wrongness had felt right and the moments they had didn’t need to be cherished before the other pulled away, allowing the cold to embrace them as they would recreate the space between them tearing at the wound they weren’t successful in closing.
But for now, they didn’t move, barely breathed and clutched what they could staring ahead.
Had the stars always looked so lonely.
Many times, jack’s breath had hitched, many times Rhys had heard him inhale deeply as if bracing himself for what they knew was to come next once either broke their silence.
No word left his mouths only a sigh as he buried his head into Rhys back, intertwining his hand with Rhys own. Rhys couldn’t help but notice the absent pressure in their left hands as he squeezed back. The pressure had been gone for some time, muscle memory long forgotten.
-
Eventually it was Rhys who was the one to break their silence.
He too breathed in, and for once in hours he closed his eyes against the stars as they burned brightly at him.
He breathed out and opened them again staring at the glass instead of the stars. He saw them in the glass, a mockery of a reflection. Blanket barely covering them to the hips, still intertwined in a lover embrace and eyes staring back.
Jack stared at him through the reflection and he stared back, absorbing what he could committing the site to memory as he had done so many times before.
He wondered how many times where left.
The never knew, jack didn’t care. Rhys never dared to wonder.
‘Do you want me to leave?’
The words echoed into the silence as they word left Rhys mouth, familiar to the tongue but a stranger to his mind and heart as he spoke them, as his heart clenched and his mind screamed for him not to repeat the pattern to change it, to allow himself to stay.
He couldn’t.
But he couldn’t leave, he knew this. Jack knew this.
The words that left jack mouth, barely a whisper against his skin as he turned into Rhys back hiding his face into the hair line his arm and leg drawing Rhys closer melding them together as the cold left the space between them.
‘no’
Rhys had to shut his eyes, his breath stuck in his throat as he returned the gesture in kind, his hand gripping jacks closer and his face turning in to the pillow.
This wasn’t a mercy.
He came to expect little else. For jack mercy was very rarely an option, but for Rhys it was his option, forgiving those who deserved to be forgiven. Rhys didn’t think he could forgive jack for this.
Even still he allowed the hands to maneuverer him, pulling his face from the pillows with a gentle hand as he was turned on to his back jack shifting ever so slightly above him.
Rhys couldn’t see the stars anymore.
The sight before him was far more beautiful.
Perhaps it was why jack was so untouchable, just like the stars. A beauty to behold but so far way never tethered to one place or a person.
Jack was silent as his mismatched eyes stared deeply into Rhys own, his face and unguarded and bare for his to see. Emotions no longer hidden behind cold plastic but laid bare before Rhys.
Jack looked so human above him in these moments, he often forgot there was a monster laying under the skin, unrelenting in its actions to get what it sought.
‘your cruel’ was all Rhys could muster ad he laid below jack, breath relaxed as he stared into the depths before him.
Jack smile was full of sadness and never reached his eyes as he closed them leaning his forehead to Rhys in a moment of tenderness many couldn’t believe the man capable of.
‘I know’ was the whisper against his lips as the grazed one another, jack settling his weight just above him.
Rhys brought his hand up the rest on the face before him, thumb grazing the scar embedded into once flawless skin traveling upwards so that it rested in the mess of brown locks streaked grey adorning jacks head as jack moved lower, breath back at his neck.
Rhys sighed eyes looking to the ceiling as jack continued his antics.
He would stay.
He would stay because these moments where fleeting and jack was a dead man walking.
And it tore him apart inside as he turned back to the stars.
The most beautiful things to behold but too far away to reach.
Too far way to make them stay.
