    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

    Running away from her family’s business, Esther arrives at Sandrock determined to become a builder and live life on her own terms. Little does it matter that she barely has any building experience, that the relic rush has thrown the little town in disorder, or that people have gone missing in mysterious circumstances.
    She is ready to become a builder. None of the whispers from that other world matter now. That is not her problem anymore.

    Right?

    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

    There are two new Builders in the town. They're both lively young women, both are passionate workaholics, and both are keeping secrets. But for one of them, it feels like the whole town can read what lurks inside her heart as if it's plainly written on her face.

    Celestine and Mi-an are a dynamic duo, in work ethic and their taste for men. Which of them will go the furthest in her efforts to deny her heart's desires?

    Celestine's mind harbors painful memories from her past, a past she tried to unsuccessfully escape by moving to Sandrock. With the help of some rather pushy (but well-meaning) friends and one kind man, can the anguish in her heart be eroded, and replaced by something unexpected?

    ---
    This is Celestine's story. Mi-an's version may be told in a series of parallel one-shots in the future. All in all, I'm trying to exercise my very rusty writing skills before I pen my next novel. And practice writing smut... for the first time. :o

    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

    Aria of Highwind was a daydreamer. Her afternoons were spent dreaming about adventure outside the walls of Highwind and creating these scenarios to an amused Nia. However, one flyer changed her perspective. Sandrock needed a new Builder, and she was perfect for it. Packing her things and saying goodbye to her home as she knew it, she was off, a new adventure awaiting. Her spontaneous decision did not worry her; afterall, it was only a year and nothing big happens in little podunk town like Sandrock.

    Soon she learns that there's more to the town and it's people; and that her job was more than just taking comissions and building things around town. But most of all, she learns that love can be right around the corner.

    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…
