    Summary

    Sandrock will fall.

    Lucy never meant to become a symbol of resistance—or a captive prize. Trapped between loyalty to her people and the possessive obsession of a man she once called an enemy, she’s forced to survive a war that’s as much about the heart as it is about power.

    Pen never planned to fall in love. Cold, disciplined, and bred for conquest, he only let one person in—Lucy. But when she defies him, it awakens something feral. If he can't have her freely, he’ll have her on his terms.

    As their world burns, so does the twisted thread between them—pulling them together, tearing them apart. Their love isn’t tender. It’s a battlefield. And neither of them will come out unscathed.

    Summary

    This is a collection of one-shots inspired by different songs. I was originally posting them as separate pieces, but decided to wrap them all into one big work. Some are soft, some steamy, and some are just so wholesome it hurts. Enjoy!

    Latest chapter is Make Me Wanna Smoke by Ella Langley (NSFW).

    Summary

    I sort of wish Wei had been a romanceable character, so for the same reason many of us write fanfiction, I decided I'd just have to write about it myself! This is another conflicted love story like my first one (Two Sides of the Same Coin), featuring Wei and Logan. I'll still post bit by bit, most likely daily. Chapters with spicy content will be marked *NSFW*.

    Summary

    I loved playing the game so much that I needed to do something with this serious case of post-game hangover. IRL me ADORED Owen, but my builder romanced Logan because it made more sense for her fix-it personality (if anyone can fix Logan, it's Lucy). But Owen deserves his happily ever after too, so I made it happen. Forgive me, this is my first fan fic.

    *A parallel, multi-POV telling of two love stories between two builders and the ones they weren't expecting.

    Enjoy!

    Summary

    Willa had long accepted who she was. Her family loved her and so did her one brave friend. However, she also understood by how others outside her small circle treated her that she wasn’t to everyone’s taste. Especially the radically devote members of the Church of the Light faith. Even at Atara University, all her fellow builder classmates had let her know by their treatment of her that she’d be outcasted at any workshops she attempted to apply to. So, despite Willa’s peerless grades and awards for her many accomplishments thus far, her options were limited. Either be an independent workshop somewhere crazy, like The Peripheries, where a one woman large assemblies workshop like herself would be put to work in a harsh and thankless environment, or she could see if the folks in Sandrock, where guns weren’t prohibited and the Church of the Light branch there seemed looser in their standings, had thicker skin for a woman most folks described in the most unkind ways as a storybook dragon in need of slaying.

    Never did she think her choice would change her life so vastly and so quickly.

    Never did she think she’d have so many people who’d cherish her.

    Never did she think love wasn’t truly out of her reach.

    Summary

    "You can't escape. I will make you answer for everything that you've done...."

    Honesty. That is the singular pursuit of this story. Truth, a thread drawn through the fabric of life, touching each of its cells and leaving an indelible mark upon the soul. That very thing which many fear to utter aloud, from which they hide in the secluded corners of their consciousness, mistakenly taking it for an enemy.

    The celebration of life turns to falsehood when no kindred spirit can be found to share a sincere conversation. When there is no one who does not strive to remold you in their own image, to force a false smile upon you, to instill the absurd obligation to be happy. At times, events occur that leave a deep wound, and this by no means signifies that we are obliged to forcefully return to the former course, pretending as if nothing has happened. Every emotion deserves the right to exist, not only carefree joy. Only by accepting one's pain can one truly become alive.

    (Be sure to read the chapter summary if you want to prepare for what's to come. In the fourth chapter the narrative will be turned 180 degrees, be prepared for this.)

    Summary

    Adeline Thorne came to the desert for a fresh start—a quiet life spent teaching literacy, writing poetry, and keeping the past behind her. She had no interest in heroics, no patience for pointless bravado, and certainly no time for self-proclaimed protectors with too much muscle and not enough sense.

    But fate has a way of unraveling careful plans.

    The town she now calls home is on the verge of collapse, beset by rising tensions, bandit attacks, and the ever-present threat of war. And Pen—the insufferable, arrogant, maddeningly compelling man who has made it his mission to guard the town—holds secrets far darker than anyone suspects.

    When his betrayal is laid bare, Adeline is forced to confront the truth. But even as she fights to rebuild in the wake of invasion, a single undeniable fact remains—he left something behind.

     

    *this is not necessarily canon-compliant, but it is a fun ride. Tagged as Pen/Builder to find easier.

    Summary

    The bottom of Sandrock’s job opening for a builder loudly proclaimed in bolded letters: "Prospective applicants must be willing to endure unforgiving and hazardous living conditions." For Kat, who had lived alone in the Peripheries all her life, even hazardous living conditions were an improvement. Starting over with nothing wasn’t new or scary, but the prospect of being near people was harder to swallow. Having made a habit of avoiding them as much as possible, she’s now determined to face her fears and learn what it means to have all the nice things she’s been missing out on—like friends, or maybe even lovers. Will determination be enough when she’s faced with the reality of living in a somewhat civilized society with rules and expectations? Will it be enough when her heart decides to challenge all her decisions? Will it be enough when her instincts tell her to run? Stay tuned…

But as they grow older and time passes by, they find their friendship complicated, marred by feelings impossible for a teenager to contain.

    Summary

    No Commissions, no Mining, no Diving– Nothing. Five whole days completely on ice.

    It wasn't the result Logan wanted for her, but it's the sentence the Builder ended up getting after her old injury flared up and led him to make her problems his business. And with the worst storm Sandrock had seen this side of a decade looming on the horizon, it honestly couldn't have come at a worse time.

    But when the enigmatic Builder begins refusing to hold up her end of the bargain and adhere to doctor's orders as promised, it sets into motion a swift series of events between the pair- ultimately resulting in the Hunter receiving answers to a multitude of questions he had both sought and avoided the answers to for over two months.

    And as more of her background comes to light... Logan somehow ends up making some startling realizations about his own feelings in the process.
