Description I initially finished/uploaded this piece before the Tales from the Borderlands series ended (on one helluva clifflhanger, I might add), so at the time of this piece's completion, this was my headcanon. Now that the series is over... in all it's amazing "WTF JUST HAPPENED" glory... this piece has officially become Alternate Universe. (shrug)

In that AU, Hyperion (and Helios) still exist (and Rhys is the new Hyperion CEO), and Vaughn and Fiona decide to become professional rally drivers, since they both had a blast in the Bossanova Death Rally.

Here they are, still covered in dirt from the racetrack. heading back to their caravan after their most recent win (the Badass Crater Invitational).

They race under the team name "Glasses-Face and Hat-Lady." Their sponsor is technically Hyperion (thanks to Rhys, who is doing his very best as President to right Hyperion's past wrongs on Pandora), but Fiona still feels obligated to honor Scooter's memory, so she always wears Scooter's hat when she races, and she has gotten extremely good at delivering the "Catch a Ride!" line whenever she and Vaughn win a race (and they are currently undefeated). The entire crowd shouts it along with her. Vaughn is always careful to thank their official sponsor, and it's clear that all of Rhys's efforts to redeem Hyperion's public image is finally having some effect, because people hardly ever shoot at Vaughn these days whenever he thanks the Hyperion Corp!

I like the detail in Fiona and Vaughn's jackets.

Thanks! And sorry for the delayed reply... I have been avoiding the internet in order to avoid TFTBL spoilers until I could play that final episode. Heh.

Thanks (and thanks for the fave)!

Oh, man... I hear you on Scooter. I have several concurrent play-throughs going, so I've suffered through Scooter's death at least four times. I have cried every time. The first time through it, I was sobbing so loudly that one by one, each of my roommates felt the need to come check on me to make sure I was OK.

And I had actually had Scooter's death spoiled for me, so I knew he was going to die. I didn't know how it was going to happen, but I knew it was going to happen. I thought I'd prepared myself adequately. I hadn't. I can't imagine how horrible it would have been if I HADN'T been expecting it.

I really want this headcanon to become true! It sounds like Rhys has his work cut out for him, but I love how happy Vaughn and Fiona look in this. Plus it's so sweet that Fiona honors Scooter like that! Hopefully Telltale isn't too harsh in the final episode, we can always hope for the best.

As for the final episode... I am hoping for the best... and preparing for the worst. If I set my expectations at "everybody dies," then whatever does happen cannot be worse than what I imagined, right? FLAWLESS PLAN.
