    Summary

    There was only a handful of things in his mind everyday. His twin sister, their parents back in Highwind, work and... more work. Moose didn't really have time to think about anything else. He'd put anything aside just to help anyone in town. So when he's hit with unfamiliar things like... feelings, he's clueless. So what does he do to solve it?

    Deny everything.

    Doesn't help that the girl making him feel this way is doing the exact same thing.

    Summary

    Pen is back in Sandrock, baby! Getting a second chance, he knows he’ll need to be on his best behavior to convince everyone that he’s not the same villain that was escorted out in chains. With the love of his life now married and his job as Sandrock’s protector having been passed on to his old nemesis, Logan, he’s been relegated to doing odd-jobs around town to scrape together a living.

    When he’s given the responsibility of protecting a wildlife biologist researching the monsters around Sandrock, he’s surprised to find himself catching feelings for the incredibly serious and awkward woman he now calls his boss, and things start to feel like they’re finally going Pen’s way. That is, until his past with Duvos returns to haunt him and the ones he loves…

    Summary

    Have you ever wondered what all the conversations were that led to the Duvos Invasion during the Builder’s time at Sandrock?

    Enter Ruby, Sandrock’s most capable builder. She’s a hard loving, fire spitting woman who does whatever she can to protect the town she loves and the people in it. All the while capturing the attention of the local bandit, Logan.

    And anytime their paths cross, flames ignite, and a bond forges.

    Torn between the town she loves and a man that lingers behind his mask… Ruby must decide whose side she’s on, all while dealing with a past that still haunts her to this day.

    Notes: This was originally a one-shot that turned into a multi-chapter fic. It starts with an AU of The Kidnapping quest. It follows the main game but takes a lot of twists and turns!

    Summary

    Linda’s first day in Sandrock does not go nearly as smoothly as she had hoped it would. In fact, it is actually one disappointment and disaster after another. It is not all bad, though. At least she has the Mayor’s support and a new enthusiastic work partner. Plus, there are cute animals everywhere.

    Summary

    Staying true to our whirlwind, slow burn romance, we continue following you and Logan's evolving love story; however, a misunderstanding caused by the visit from Commander Avery leads the two of you in a new direction, one that challenges you both as you begin to grapple with the less dire reality of living your normal lives. Exploring the immense pressures of being the person at the center of it all, we deep dive into the Builder's responsibility and sense of duty to those around her. Your friendship with Logan is quickly blossoming into something more, though now that he's back and is making amends for his time away, you find yourselves being pulled down different paths. Struggling with the distance that you protectively foster for the sake of each other, we ask this question of our lovelorn duo: will things ever be the same? ⊹ As a small preview into the work, we kick things off at the climax of the Duvos conflict and end with Cornered Beasts (hint hint!). Please see the notes section for the referenced game missions. I will preface that this is a much longer timeline than the previous two installments; nevertheless, retaining the theme of the series, this one is still heavily guided by main and side missions!

    Summary

    Instead of two builders, there were three.

    With summer in full force, two new builders stumble off the train from Highwind, taking their first steps into the dying desert town of Sandrock.

    Bonded in more ways than one, and sharing a single braincell that, to everyone's detriment, tends to get misplaced more often than it should, Kai and Allie unleash absolute chaos upon their new home.

    Are they just another storm in the never-ending barrage of amber claws wreaking havoc on Sandrock, or, ironically, a breath of fresh air that will bring new life to this dying town?

    Summary

    The Knight chuckled. “Ohhhh, so you cheated on little bandit-Boy? Whose son is he? Owen’s? No, you're not the type for soft and squishy. Wait! Wait, wait…. The Bird–doctor? Damn Skinny! Didn't know you two were that close!” He laughed, seemingly amused.

    “Can't you see it?” You replied. Now it was your time to be confused.
    Pen's face grew annoyed. Did he really not know? Did he think so little of you?

    “I’m out. Tell me who the father is?! I’m tired of guessing.” You wanted to speak, but the words simply didn't want to leave your lips.
    Pen glanced at the Boy as you did not speak to him.
    “Who's your father, little one?”

    Adam straightened his shoulders and made himself bigger. They were so much alike. The way Adam stepped in front of you, nearly protecting and posing at the same time.
    “You.” Adam said, placing confidence in his voice. “You are my father.”
    Pen chuckled a few seconds, before Adam's words fully sunk in.

    After the fight with Pen, Artist was tired. She should have gone to see Fang but she figured the bruising on her side would heal itself. A scream from Andy would show her she wasn't right in that assumption.

    Summary

    Making friends was harder than she thought. The town doctor was proving to be the most difficult, and she’d all but given up on the endeavor. Besides, she had a job to do, and he was proving to be just another distraction.

    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

    Lucy ran. Highwind at her back, her parents' refusals fading into silence, and a perilous secret locked away tight. She sought refuge in Sandrock, a desert city teetering on the edge of ecological collapse. But attempting to escape one's destiny is futile. As Sandrock called for a new Builder, Lucy found herself drawn into a deeper struggle: where Light clashes with Darkness, and Truth is a fragile thread unraveling in the hands of Falsehood.

    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

    This is going to be a novelization of the game with 2 builders based on mine and my IRL husband's characters. Mostly because I have no life and you guys inspired me to hop back into writing fanfics after nearly 20 years. I will try to stay faithful to the material for the most part, with a few of my head canons sprinkled in. Comments and constructive criticism is very much welcome, as I'm using this as a jumping point to get back into my publishable novel. I hope you enjoy. I will post any major triggers that I can, other than game typical violence, in the notes before the chapter in BOLD letters. The worst of it is in Chapter 9, and can largely be skipped.

    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

    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…
