2025 OPC: Nota Bene

Summary:

Additional information for my 2025 Kinktober and Flufftober drabbles.

Chapter 1: Virginity Kink

Summary:

જ⁀➴
First of all, I’d like to say that I’m new to Borderlands. I’m generally not interested in video games unless something fannish attracts me. Interestingly enough, BL3 was my first exposure to the series. I saw the poster of it and thought it was cool. But that was about it. If somebody had said something about twins my interest would have piqued…

Chapter Text

What’s up, chucklenuts? It’s been a grip. So life update: Katagawa shat the bed, but you knew that already. Troy’s whining that we haven’t opened the Vault yet, and I can’t get properly laid because I keep leeching my partners to death, so… that’s my whole thing. Oh, you’re busy! It’s cool. But let’s catch up real soon, ‘kay?

I’ve been thinking about that quote ever since I got into this ship. Like, TMI, no? Well, she did say she couldn’t ‘properly get laid’ but that just implies if she wanted to ‘properly get laid’ then there’s really only one person she can do it with.

***

• My version of Troy is slightly more sadistic. He loves whatever power he has over his sister because everyone views him as the weaker twin. Whatever weakness his sister has he’ll exploit it but only for his benefit. He’s not going to compromise her. They have the same enemies, after all, and a common goal.

• That being said, he thoroughly enjoys manipulating her.

• Tyreen, at times, doesn’t realise how smart he is. He’s definitely book smart (helps that he actually likes to read) and he adapted to Pandora’s harsh environment more quickly thanks to his introspective nature.

• Troy likes the idea that Tyreen can never truly be ‘sullied’. It’s a small thing but it’s something he enjoys holding over her head. He was absolutely insufferable when he had his fling with Aurelia.

• It started off as relationship practice (yes, they called it that) on Nekrotefeyo. You know, just in case they ever left their homeplanet… and got a partner… ahem

• They kissed, nothing more, but they’re both leeches so they obviously wanted more. Then came the awkward sex ed by their dad.

• Tyreen thought it would be a good idea to fill in the gaps (“I don’t get it. Show me.”) so Troy obliged (“I guess I could show you…”).

• Lots of non-penetrative sex ensued but they never went too far. If Tyreen got pregnant then Leda would haunt Troy’s ass for the rest of his life. Also, because, Troy took his dad’s sex ed a little too seriously.

Chapter 2: Keeping Someone Safe

Summary:

Link to drabble: 1 | Keeping Someone Safe

Chapter Text

• The twins arrived at Pandora when they were fifteen-ish. They got jumped a lot during their early Pandora days. They learned very quickly that Pandorans liked to fight. And hassle. And explode things.

• They originally left their home planet (read: cage), Nekrotefeyo, to live new and, I guess, better lives.

• They knew Pandora was dangerous, their dad had told them everything about it, but they’re 15. They’re still kids. So actually seeing someone get disembowelled on a random Friday was very shocking.

• They tried to befriend, help, reason and accept the local populace but nothing good came out of it. Some of them were especially suspicious of their Siren markings. But a lot of them thought it was fake because their Siren Markings were clean looking. Usually it’s a bit more chaotic?

• Eventually, one night, their ship got robbed. It was also the same night Tyreen killed a bandit. It was an accident, really. She cried all night. She’s a monster now.

• Troy, on the other hand…

• …saw power instead. So he encouraged her to leech more. He told her that the best way to counter her Siren powers was to practice. Tyreen becomes acquainted with draining but not destroying.

• Troy wonders how far he can push her because, in a way, that power was his too. So he had every right to know the limits of Phaseleech. His morbid curiosity is one of the ways the Phaseleech’s power manifests in him.

Chapter 3: Choking/Gagging

Summary:

જ⁀➴

Chapter Text

The prompt was Choking/Gagging but I only went with choking because I have a specific headcanon as to why Troy and Tyreen both wear collars. You can read Chapter 5: Lingerie first if you want a chronological understand my headcanon timeline. Also, there’s mentions of violence, blood and an accidental overdose.

***

• Tyreen HATES her neck being touched. And here’s the story why:

• Tyreen wakes up in Troy’s very bloody and very gory arms. Turns out she almost overdosed and Troy almost lost his mind.

• After killing Madame (and their source of income), Tyreen is mad that they’re back to square one. She blames Troy for ‘unnecessarily killing the old bitch’ and that she wants him to fuck her.

• Troy isn’t in his right mind so he does whatever she tells him to do. They tangle while the blood and gore on Troy’s body slush onto Tyreen.

• After that, they take a shower because they’re not fucking animals.

• Mack is horrified to find his place absolutely trashed. He fears for his life because, while he wasn’t directly responsible, he was the head photographer and was involved with the nude photoshoot of Tyreen. He grabs his stuff and leaves a note for the twins saying they can keep his place and that he’s sorry for the hurt tgey both went through.

• Tyreen experiences withdrawal symptoms and becomes extremely snappish. She tries to sell herself one night on the streets so she can get more eridium dust. Troy is angry and forces her to go home. Tyreen lashes out and a fight happens. It isn’t long before Troy’s hands are wrapped around her neck.

• Both of them are shocked yet the squeeze persists. A part of Troy wants to ‘Leech Her To Death’. Tyreen’s face goes purple before she goes red. Her face, noticeably her mouth, is red. Troy lets go and feels his neck.

• Tyreen backs away, watching her brother bleed out. Did she just leech-bite him?!

• Troy’s gaze is deadly. He challenges her to leave him. See for herself if she could live without him. She can’t. Maybe she’d be less scared if the shadows around Troy weren’t so frightening but Tyreen shakily approaches her brother. She helps him up and they go back home.

• Ever since that night, she started wearing a choker; which later becomes into the two collars she’ll wear in the future. It makes her feel less exposed (and squashes any weird feelings she has of that memory).

• Troy wears his scars like a trophy. It’s when he starts rebranding their ECHOnet personas that he wears his two collars. It’s a mocking reminder for his sister of that night (remember how I said he loves any power he has over his sister?) and to establish a twinning kind of look.

Chapter 4: Only One Bed

Summary:

જ⁀➴
Link to drabble: 2 | Only One Bed

Chapter Text

Not much to say. Most of it has been covered in Chapter 3: Choking/Gagging.

***

• Troy and Tyreen have to sleep in the same bed because the spare room still reeks of sex, blood and gore.

• Tyreen is afraid of sleeping next to Troy and seriously contemplates on killing him.

• Troy feels like a new person and seriously contemplates on killing his sister. The Phaseleech makes him bedridden for a week for even thinking about it.

• Eventually, they do sleep together again, literally and figuratively, because if Tyreen can’t have drugs then she should be able to have sex and lots of it.

• Tyreen confesses about her impulsive thoughts and they make a promise that they would never lay their hands like that on each other ever again.

Chapter 5: Lingerie

Summary:

જ⁀➴

Chapter Text

You can read Chapter 3: Choking/Gagging after this chapter if you want a chronological understanding of my headcanon timeline. Also, there’s mentions of violence and blood.

***

• Tyreen is beautiful. Well, among the denizens of Pandora she is. She’s got a lovely face with big feline-like eyes and a button nose.

• (And, most importantly, her lips are proportionate. But the BL3 artstyle is lowkey ass because why are her lips chapped? Why is everyone’s lips chapped? The strong black outline was definitely a hit or miss in a few aspects.)

• (Ok, but why is she better looking than the main cast? Like, she may be the worst BL villain, but at least she’s pretty. The only other characters I found beautiful were Commandment Steele and Angel.)

• (Oh, Troy? Uhhhhhhhhhh… I’m sure he has a nice personality…)

• Which is why the Madame just had to have her. She was scouted (read: stalked) by Maverick, AKA Mack, who was previously a photojournalist. Tyreen agrees to do one gig only.

• Because one, the twins are desperate for some money and two, their ship got burnt to a crisp when the bandit Tyreen killed turned out to be a gang leader.

• Wow! Modeling isn’t so hard. Tyreen stays and gets a place at Madame’s Lounge and becomes a Muse. Troy, meanwhile, gets to stay with Mack because the photographer wants to have a protégée.

• This is their first turning point. Troy and Tyreen learn about marketing and business development. This information helps them later on when they rebrand themselves. It’s why Troy has a proficient knowledge with tech, why he can plan efficiently etc. For Tyreen, it’s why she can act so well in front of cameras and why her aura is so ‘cult leader chic’.

• The modeling work becomes brutal very fast. Tyreen is often told that she weighs too much and that she should try cosmetic surgery. She starts eating less and does some snorting (*cough* eridium dust *cough*).

• Troy is ridiculed nearly every day. Mack is nice to him and his sister but everyone else…? Not so much. They pick on his appearance and compare him to his sister a lot.

• Madame makes Tyreen do some swimwear shoots despite her only being fifteen (exploitation, much?). One of the shoots had her topless with only her hands covering her chest. It made Tyreen devastated because she didn’t want to do it but then she would lose her job and not be able to get Troy a better prosthetic.

• When Troy finds out he immediately wants to kill Madame and everyone else involved. So, he waits until the lingerie shoot is over and burns the Lounge down with the help of some eager Psychos. He burns everything; the people, the photos, the memories…

• Madame (or whatever conscious part of her) is on a stake burning while the Psychos sing and dance around her. Troy had made sure to pour a generous amount of water on the wood so Madame could enjoy burning longer. Mack photographs and videos the brutality of it all.

Chapter 6: Making or Buying a Costume

Summary:

જ⁀➴
Link to drabble: 3 | Making or Buying a Costume

Chapter Text

OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY TO THE TWO PEOPLE SUBSCRIBED TO ME PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THIS MASSIVE REWRITE RIP YOUR EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS

***

• Rebranding after becoming viral on the ECHOnet meant having a stronger image. For Troy, it was all about making a scene, shocking the normies with his mods. Being an overbearing presence. For Tyreen, it was all about drawing the viewer in. Being unassuming disarms people.

• (I find it interesting that Tyreen’s sleeveless shirt coat dress thing was drawn multiples times as baggy at the waist only for it to be tailored to cinch her waist. It’s been stated she wants people to think about her, not her body.)

• (That being said her waist is tiny af. It was one of the first things I noticed about her. Does she even have any organs down there?. Even compared to the other female characters she had next to nothing.)

• Modeling really took a toll on Tyreen so she doesn’t mind exposing but not showing off her body. It’s why people are instantly drawn to her, the girl’s got secrets.

• Besides Troy, only Mouthpiece has seen her without her shirt coat dress thing on (seriously what is that fuckass thing called?). He’s the first person to call out on their relationship.

• He calls them bacon makers and every time they have sex he refers to it as bacon making.

• (A lot of Tyreen’s looks were on concept Troy: her fuckass shirt, ripped jeans, multiple belts etc. I like to think that one, Tyreen loved the clothes her brother originally designed for himself and two, she will never forgive him for not letting her have the horns.)

• Troy wanted to look like a freak. It something he’s been internalising since he was a kid. So he got crazy face mods with crazy earrings (Psychos approved) with crazy tattoos with crazy arm mods that still haven’t been explained. He looks like a mess put together.

• Since Tyreen won’t show off her body, he decided to do it himself (Psychos approved). He gains a gajizzion amount of fangirls and fanboys. Tyreen wished he was more tailored so he tried some military-esque outfits and, wow, just wow…

• She would never admit it but he looked even better than her.

• (His giant arm prosthetic isn’t his everyday prosthetic. It’s mostly just for show. Idc that he used it in his boss battle, it’s not practical! Same goes with his chaps. Why, just why? It’s barely visible anyways. His giant sword is also mainly for show but he can definitely use it.)

• Troy is the brains behind everything. He thought about the colours and the material. About the silhouette, the attitude and the image. The fur is something they both surprisingly wanted, considering it would have reminded them of their dad. There was this nagging feeling of homesickness they couldn’t quite explain.

• The amount of belts Tyreen has is something Troy makes fun of. Why would she have so many when she could have one or two? But he never makes fun of her dyed eyebrows out loud.

• Makeup is their favourite part of rebranding. Gloves are for twinning aesthetics.

Chapter 7: Sex Work

Summary:

જ⁀➴
Link to drabble: 4 | Sex Work

Chapter Text

Mentions of underage prostitution and self harm.

***

• This happened after Chapter 2: Only One Bed. Tyreen relapses and, this time, succeeds in sex work.

• She makes a secret identity and that’s when she learns she can’t get properly laid. She accidentally kills Billy (rip) and dumps his body far, far away.

• Tyreen tries to adapt to her unique situation but she’ll occasionally husk someone. This is another turning point for her because she starts to feel less remorseful hurting others. All she wants is to be coked up.

• Troy finds out eventually when she repeatedly skips the curfew he set out for her. He doesn’t want another fight and they made a promise so he anonymously snitches on her to the whores she’s friends with.

• The whores don’t care. Troy, growing more unstable, kills one of them and sends the murdered woman’s body parts to them. Troy cuts himself out of guilt but forces himself to get over it.

• All the greasy men Tyreen was able to make bank from are too afraid to go near her because the whores spread a rumour that she has STDs (and a crazy ex).

• Tyreen is mad. She likes to work, she likes attention, she likes having money she can splurge on. Troy is mad too. He’s afraid of losing her, he’s afraid of dying alone, he’s afraid that he’ll never be cured of his weakness.

• Tyreen sobers up when Troy starts crying.

Chapter 8: Fake Relationship

Summary:

જ⁀➴
Link to drabble: 4 | Fake Relationship

Chapter Text

• Troy and Tyreen learnt a lot of new things while under Madame’s care, one of those things being ice cream.

• They had sweet fruits back at home but dessert? This was a new discovery for them. Mack indulges the kids sometimes. He’s lowkey a father figure to them.

• During this time, Troy and Tyreen live separately. Tyreen has her own place at Madame’s Lounge and Troy lives with Mack. Lots of new experiences for them.

• Tyreen starts developing an eating disorder due to her body dysmorphia. So it’s no surprise that she’ll be more sensitive to comments about her weight or appearance.

• Mack knows all about it because she often confides in him. What he doesn’t know is that they’re incestuous twins.

• He takes a lot of photos. Lots of photos. He likes to take photos of people, especially.

LET’S FUCKING GOOOO !! ONE THOUSAND WORDS FOR TROYREEN !!

***

• Mouthpiece, my beloved <3

• He’s not afraid of the twins. He reveres them. In a way, they’re like his mom and pop even though he’s older than them.

• Sensitive guy. Loves his fellow Psycho.

• He’s been praying everyday for union among his brethren and the bandits so when Tyreen answered his call he was ecstatic. He’s very loyal to the cause.

• He came up with the title, Vault Mother. Again, he sees the twins as mom and pop and the COV as his brothers and sisters.

• If he wasn’t a spokesman he could’ve been a drill sergeant. Or an organist. The guy’s talented, barely has an equal. There’s no such thing as replacing him.

• As for the rumours, it’s nothing more than ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ type jokes. Maliwan and other companies are aware of these jokes but, since they have no proof, cannot accuse the twins of being incestuous. It wouldn’t damage their image anyways.

• Nonetheless, that doesn’t stop Jakobs from taunting Troy and asking him if he has to suck at his sister’s teat for sustenance.

Chapter 10: Cold Hands

Not much to say. Story was narrated in Mack’s POV. If he ever found out about what they got up to he’d be shocked, curious and ask if they want help.

I’m sorry to anyone who don’t fuck with my prose like style.

• Troy hates the rain.

• It’s unbelievably maddening. How it can embrace his sister while he’s left standing like an idiot.

• Also, mud. Eugh.

Chapter 13: Noncon

Summary:

જ⁀➴
Link to drabble: 7 | Noncon

Chapter Text

There are two things I believe the twins are incapable of doing: 1) rape/noncon and 2) a happy ending. The story was nothing more than a passing fantasy of ‘what if’. When I say incapable, I mean so out of character that they’ll become into something else. I think I might write about what happened.

• This was written in the Phaseleech and Fate’s POV. They don’t care if Tyreen gets hurt. They care if she dies.

• Fate hates Troy and the Phaseleech thinks it’s awesome that they’re abusing each other, albeit a bit shocked Troy snapped and went full on crazy.

Chapter 14: Meeting in the Middle

• Troy wanted Vivienne Westwood. Something structured, well tailored and avant-garde. He likes to go big or go home.
