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!]

Not Third Place (Gaige x Reader) by LZYSpectator
17 parts Complete Mature
[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.
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!

There Really Ain't no Rest For The Wicked. by JadeCeinwenz
23 parts Ongoing Mature
You're a vault hunter, just managing to survive the brutal wastes of pandora, and manage how to feel about the opposed enemy, who likes to taunt you and your fellow vault hunters....Sometimes you more than the others. But little did anyone know, you have issues, and think this so called enemy is super goddamn hot.
Dying Stars. by baby-fuzz
11 parts Ongoing Mature
--- "You couldn't really remember anything. Your mind was like a cracked mirror where one could only see things split in different directions, small hints of memories and thoughts but never seeing the full picture. People, places, events, all of them in different parts and times, never in the right order and never clearly. You were like a broken clock or a fogged window. You just couldn't understand and it scared you; you didn't even know who you were or used to be." - Or, when the reader escapes from Hyperion looking for salvation and is found by some old friends, it takes more then time to heal old wounds. Stuck in an amnesic state, they'll need help to remember their past and what exactly happened between them and a certain sniper so long ago. --- Mordecai x Reader [Borderlands] [Work in progress. This story may contain mature themes such as violence, strong language, etc.] [Borderlands 2 and all related characters are owned by Gearbox and 2K. I also do not own the cover art. I claim only the reader and the fan-work itself.]

So she left it all and headed for Pandora, where she's been living ever since, in Old Haven. Peacefully. Until, that is, a pair of Hyperions and Pandoran con-artists find her.
