Borrick is the slash ship between Bolin and Iknik Blackstone Varrick from The Legend of Korra fandom.

Canon
Bolin first met Varrick when he accompanied Asami to his yacht to make a deal with him. Asami told Bolin not to talk, but he accidentally pointed out that Varrick was not levitating when he thought he was. However, Varrick was actually grateful for this and fired his levitation instructor. Varrick then showed him some of the stuff in his yacht, including a motion picture of an Ostrich Horse and Ginger.

Varrick later lent Bolin a snowmobile so he could join Team Avatar and his new girlfriend Eska on a trip to the South Pole. Eventually, Bolin wanted to break up with Eska but couldn't, and Varrick had to go into hiding because he was wanted. Varrick later saw how Bolin was treated by Eska and gave him advice. The group later escaped together on Varrick's boat, and an angry Eska went after Bolin for abadoning her. Varrick helped him escape.

After returning to Republic City, Varrick decided to take Bolin out for a night of fun in Republic City. After Bolin had an interview with Shiro Shinobi, Varrick saw potential in him and decided to cast him as an actor. Bolin became a star thanks to Varrick, took pride in making Bolin famous. When Bolin's brother Mako realized that Varrick was behind the bombings, Bolin refused to believe him. Eventually, however, Varrick was caught and imprisoned. When Team Avatar visited him, Varrick apologized and gave them a battleship.

Three years later, both Bolin and Varrick worked for Kuvira. They both eventually saw the corruption in her and decided to escape together. However, they were both captured. Varrick's assistant Zhu Li turned against him while Bolin and Varrick were imprisoned. Varrick later chose Bolin as his new assistant, but this did not work well because Varrick kept saying "do the thing" and Bolin did not know what to do. Varrick later activated a bomb that was about to explode with him and Bolin on the train. Bolin told Varrick that he hated him before they escaped the train.

After the two escaped from Kuvira, they went to Republic City and took turns carrying each other. On a boat on the way back to Republic City, Varrick came up with an idea to make a new movie about Bolin. He wanted to make Bolin a big hero with a bunch of ladies around him, which Bolin agreed to. He even said that Opal would forgive him just to make him happy. After the final battle for Republic City, Bolin officiated at the wedding of Varrick and Zhu Li.
