Not Third Place (Gaige x Reader) by LZYSpectator

[Guess what? I don't own the title of Borderlands or anything to do with the franchise. They belong to Gearbox, 2K, and all their original creators!!] Have I hit rock bottom? Am I really doing this? Yeah. I totally am... Upon waking up in an unlikely situation, you find your life is now in complete disarray. Your home, along with everything else you once knew is destroyed. Luckily, you were spared a terrible fate by being saved by an accident by one of the biggest Hyperion enemies EVER...It's Gaige! (Who didn't intend on saving anyone during her expedition and attack inside the compound you were being held in...) She has now put you under her wing as someone who could modify and tinker with her weapons. However, your relationship with her begins to blossom into something much more personal... ...Upon replaying the Borderlands series, I remembered that I really did like Gaige (the WORLDS GREATEST ENGINEER EVER). Her dialog is unique, funny, and seriously entertaining. So, being bored I decided to check the fan fiction with her name tagged on. A lot of it, was poorly written (in my opinion, no hate) and decided to dab my own take on being a possible lover in her life during her entry into Pandora. Also, if you haven't beaten the game(s), or wish to start it, this does have spoilers for both BL2 and BL3.

Y/N Knoxx is the son of General Knoxx and Commandant Steele as well as a Colonel within the Crimson Lance military. What happens when he is sent with his mother to a planet called Pandora? I'm quite a fan of the Borderlands series especially the first one so I figured I would write this story. I do not own Borderlands, all rights, characters and themes belong to Gearbox Software. Also all images I use belong to their own sources and owners. I own nothing!

New Perspective ~ A Handsome Jack x Reader Story by lilb1hbbykk
28 parts Ongoing
!This story is not according to the (exact) events of the borderlands games! This is a second person story (x reader) for the readers pleasure! As a vault hunter, (and brand new citizen of Pandora), you have an instinctive hate for Handsome Jack. Why wouldn't you? He's tried to kill you and your friends countless times. However, once you take the fight to him on Helios, you're put in a situation that challenges your patience, to say the least. You would have never guessed you'd (unwillingly) share an escape pod with the Hyperion dictator himself whilst hurtling toward the surface of Pandora. Although you've seen some nasty battles before, being stranded on your brand new and unfamiliar home Pandora with the tyrannical president of Hyperion may be your hardest one yet. Cover art is by NoahAsai on DeviantArt! Jack's bandit outfit is inspired by Allalternate's "Skag King" design for him!
Soldiers For Life by BanefulBard13
13 parts Complete Mature
Axton is a former soldier of Dahl, now a Vault hunter working with the Crimson Raiders on Pandora to take down Handsome Jack. So what happens when an Ex-Hyperion soldier comes to Sanctuary wanting to join in Handsome Jack's down fall, only to become the source of Axton's affections? They say once you're a soldier, it's for life, so can these two former soldiers from different sides of the battlefield bring each other the peace they so desperately need and deserve?
Hate Fest [Handsome Jack x Reader] by Bellynta
16 parts Complete Mature
She heard about him all over Pandora. Most call him a "hero", others could say he's a "psychotic dictator". It all depended whether they met or know him personally, which was a rare occurrence. But that changes when (Y/n) meets the man himself, the Handsome Jack. And lets just say, they don't start off on the right foot. She hates him. [I don't own any of the Borderlands characters!]
