For as long as George can remember, he's always felt like an outcast. He'd learned to be cautious when letting new people into his life, never allowing anyone to get too close. As time passed he gradually got used to relying solely on himself, but he still desperately wished he could just put himself out there a little more. At the age of twenty-one he's finally ready to take some risks and meet new people, or at least, that's what he's trying to tell himself. As George battles with his self worth and feelings of discouragement, he has a chance encounter with an American stranger in the middle of the night. Could an unlikely friendship between the two change the trajectory of George's life? He certainly hopes so. {t/w}~ alcoholism, abuse, talk of mental health, slight/implied homophobia, panic attacks *there will be a disclaimer in the specific chapters that warnings appear in, some are more mild than others* please stay safe and know that you are loved! this story is purely for practice purposes and is not intended to make anyone uncomfortable, and if it does, i'll take it down right away! now with that out of the way, let's get into the story <3

Borderlands series imagines. With the new release of Borderlands 3, requests are open and updates will come soon.

I bought Borderlands 3 and immediately knew Fl4k would be my favourite character so I'm writing a fic about them since there's almost nothing on here!! The reader / Y/N is gender-neutral! Please let me know if I should continue this or if you guys want anything to happen in this fic I'm open to any suggestions!!

I haven't found any of these. I just LOVE Borderlands, I can't even explain my love. I do apologize for the bad writing, English isn't my first language. I don't own Borderlands, all rights goes to Gearbox and everyone else who made it/worked on it.
