{{Bordertown}} is the central setting in the ''Borderland'' SharedUniverse created by Terri Windling. ''Borderland'' was aimed at teenagers and thus focused heavily on [[{{Anvilicious}} Teen Issues]] like runaways, drugs and gangs. It featured contributions from the likes of CharlesDeLint, Creator/EmmaBull, and WillShetterly.
At some point in the near future {{Faerie}} returns to earth, landing on Los Angeles and the vicinity (Wolfboy encounters a sign in the ruined Nevernever). There is a brief, abortive war between the Fey and the governments of the "real world" which tails out when both sides realise that [[MagicVersusScience their weapons won't work on the other side of the Border]]. After this formal diplomacy opens up, and meanwhile teenage runaways from both sides of [[TheWallAroundTheWorld The Wall]] populate the (now mostly empty) town on the edge and christen it {{Bordertown}}.
Bordertown is a semi-dystopian UrbanFantasy setting where [[MagicVersusScience technology and magic each work half the time in an unpredictable fashion]]. Outside the city, there is the magical wasteland called the Nevernever, and through it runs the Mad River, the water of which is an [[FantasticDrug addictive drug]] to humans.
The series consists of five multi-author anthologies--''Borderland'', ''Bordertown'', ''Life on the Border'', ''The Essential Bordertown'', and ''Welcome to Bordertown''--and three novels--''Elsewhere'' and ''Nevernever'' by Will Shetterly, and ''Finder'' by Emma Bull.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Stick and Manda
* BirthmarkOfDestiny: [[spoiler:Florida]] has a birthmark which identifies her as [[spoiler:the missing heir to the throne of Elfland.]]
* CrypticConversation: The protagonist of "Prodigy" points out that "what you make belongs to you" is a vastly unhelpful way to warn someone that they can accidentally create magical monsters.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Lizzie in "Elf Blood" is a [[spoiler: vampire, the victim of the predations of a rogue Lankin in the World]]
* CuteMute: Florida, [[spoiler:although Ron eventually gets her to speak]].
