*YourHeadAsplode:YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Maya's hair is a shade of blue, which is apparently a "natural" hair color due to a benign genetic augmentation by maliwan.
* YourHeadAsplode: Maya blows up a bandit's head simply by pumping some energy through her fingers into his face.
** [[spoiler: Higgins, who was implied to be killed by Roland in the ''Borderlands: Origins'' comic, survives Eden Prime, though apparently as a minion of Saren]].
** Corporal Reese survives when he dies within moments of meeting him in ''Borderlands 2''.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8930158/1/No-Gods-Only-Guns No Gods, Only Guns]]'' is a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Videogame/{{Borderlands}}'' FusionFic combining the futuristic SpaceOpera of the former with the over-the-top violence and humor of the latter, written by Peptuck, the author behind ''Fanfic/{{Renegade}}'', ''Fanfic/{{Forward}}'', and ''Fanfic/{{TiberiumWars}}''. A [[HumanityIsInsane completely batshit crazy humanity]] barely controlled by the Systems Alliance has spread across the stars, amoral megacorporations possess as much power as most interstellar governments, and the rest of the galaxy is stuck just trying to deal with the madness.
Our story begins with a priceless [[{{Precursors}} Eridian]] artifact being uncovered on the human world of Eden Prime by the Hyperion Corporation, followed by a massive attack by [[MechanicalLifeforms the synthetic geth]]. The Atlas Corporation sends [[PrivateMilitaryContractors the Crimson Lance]] to steal the artifact during the chaos, but in the middle of the attack a [[TouchedByVorlons Siren]] quite literally drops in out of the sky and the Systems Alliance sends in their own Marines to recover the artifact. An unlikely alliance forged by betrayal, violence, and mutual greed forms between Roland, a Crimson Lance Sergeant who is wrestling with the ruthless orders of his superiors, and Lilith Shepard, the aforementioned Siren, as well as Roland's squad and the Alliance Marines under the command of Lieutenant Kaidan Alenko.
HilarityEnsues, along with [[StuffBlowingUp a whole lot of explosions]].
''No Gods, Only Guns'' is partially a CrackFic, but also has plenty of serious moments mixed in with the chaos and over-the-top violence. [[WordOfGod The author has said]] that the story was inspire dout of a need to write something LighterAndSofter (relatively speaking) than the darker and more serious stories he's written, as well as the fact that both settings have a convergent theme of [[LovecraftLite "Mecha-Cthulhu may be out there, and he may want to eat your face, but if you have a big enough gun, you can kick his eldritch, multidimensional ass."]]
