    Summary

    It's not easy being the daughter of one of the Alliance high generals.

    Reina's father has been training her since she was ten years old to be a captain in the Alliance's armies. She is dangerous. She is deadly. And she is running away from her problems to Sandrock, the small, isolated town where she can start over and build her own career and opportunities outside the Alliance and it's founders. She is keeping her true identity a secret as she does so.

    Logan has just lost his own father, and is slowly learning that the quiet town that he called home just a few months before has been keeping deadly conspiracies. He is an outcast. He is a wanted criminal. And he is especially suspicious of the new builder. Could she be the very spy he's been looking for?

    A fated meeting. A whirlwind romance. And an adventure of a lifetime.

    Summary

    Wisteria’s just trying to get her feet back on the ground. She's got no roots and the desert sand's her last place to try and plant them. Qi’s trying to reach the stars. He's been drawing the schematics for his escape pod ever since he drifted here.

    It seems that they’ll always be no less than a world apart. Yet their circumstances and that of Sandrock's keep inching them together, time and time again, until they're both on an inescapable collision course...straight for each other's hearts.

    A story about love, curiosity, strangeness, happiness, dreams, dubiously-ethical science, and underneath it all, two people just trying their damnedest to understand each other.

    Summary

    **Contains Act 3 Spoilers**

    It was worse than two years on the run- he always had more of that wild coursin' through his veins than sense in his head. Stubborn. Impulsive.

    Folks say there ain't no domesticatin' a fella who finds better company among monsters than man.

    But something itched at the back of his mind- a peculiar fixation. It all stemmed from that meetin' of eyes. From that instinctual sizing of another up. Like knows like- and she ain't exactly what they say she is.

    Who was the Builder, really? Who was that woman from beyond the train tracks?

    Or: A slice of life retelling of Logan rejoining civilization and growing closer with the Builder

    Summary

    Ari pushed her hair out of her face, awkwardly averting her gaze. “It’s really no big deal.”

    Balor flicked her on the forehead and admonished her, “You’re too modest.”

    She gasped, holding her forehead, “Is this how you merchants say thank you?”

    The side of his lips lifted ever so slightly. Balor watched her in consideration, lips parted as he leaned forward. He was hovering over her while her hand was still outstretched to him with the ruby. Near her ear, he murmured, “I can think of a few other ways I might show my gratitude.”
