Summary
Eva would be the first to tell you she was nothing special. She was just a simple builder trying her best in a town that threw curveballs at every possible opportunity. She wasn't a hero. She wasn't a savior. She was just Eva.
"When I look in yer eyes, I see the real jewel of the Eufaula."
Okay, she supposed she didn't mind being special in his eyes.

Summary
Inspired by how often I’ve restarted the game and the entertaining thought that my player characters are just really confused about all the time travel. (WARNING: Major spoilers starting in the first chapter.)
Kat's the newest builder in Sandrock... but she's pretty sure she's been here before. There's no way she could dream up the future, so how did she get here? And what should she do now? People always told her it was a bad idea to fight Fate but she couldn't just stand by and let it all happen again... right?

Summary
Maru hadn’t stared at a screen this intently since her high school exams. She tented her fingers, resting her chin and all of her hopes in her hands.
Neena: Just one thing…
Maru gritted her teeth as Neena took what felt like an eternity to reply.
Neena: Are there any decent men in the valley?
Birds roosting on the clinic roof took off in alarm at the loud bark of laughter from within.
Maru: Absolutely bloody not.
Neena:.........I'M IN.Maru is fed up with life in the sleepy, snowy valley and longs for the bright lights... Her city-dwelling friend Neena is sick of her grey existence in Zuzu City.
Each woman wants what the other has, so why not swap for the Winter Star season? After all, it's just a quick getaway, an escape from a life that doesn't seem to suit either of them. And it doesn't have to be permanent. Even as Maru and Neena meet friends old and new, and find themselves in need of something built to last...
(Based on 'The Holiday' starring Jack Black and Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz and Jude Law, and featuring a few nods to festive rom-coms. I plan to have this finished by Christmas/New Year!)

Summary
Harvey tries to ignore the feelings he has for the new farmer, content with just having her as a friend. As they grow closer those feelings become harder to hide. He would love nothing more than to find out if she feels the same. His insecurities and her unclear plans for the future make it hard for him to take the next step.
