Summary
The detective stepped off the train and into the set of what an Old-Worlder might've called a 'spaghetti western'. Sandrock. From the crumbling, sun-weathered and sand-beaten architecture right down to the errant tumbleweeds, the place was on the verge of becoming a ghost town. It looked bleak. Then again, when the world was black and white, things tended to look that way.
Solving the mystery of Sandrock’s disappearing water was supposed to be the final case before taking a well-deserved vacation, and things were starting out great—that is, until an unfortunate accident completely derails the investigation, forcing the detective to lie low until suspicions blow over.
While she waits and plots the downfall of the forces bleeding Sandrock dry, there's plenty of other small-time cases to keep her occupied and plenty of shady characters to throw more obstacles in her way…

Summary
Odette is an omega, not that she cares. All she desires is to forge a career as a builder, free of the shackles of city alpha society.
Luckily for her, a position opened up in Sandrock, a small town renowned for its lack of alphas or omegas. A town full of ordinary people, in which Odette can pretend to be ordinary herself.
Too bad she didn’t account for the alpha outlaw in the Eufaula.

Summary
Within a week of meeting, an identical Mark appears on soulmates, gray and lifeless until a touch binds them together for life. The problem is that meeting a soulmate can be as easy as walking down a road on the opposite side as them, both people not even sharing a single glance, and not knowing it for a week. Or it can be as complicated as riding in on a train from a packed city like Atara and being the only one to step off on the platform at Sandrock which is where Mi-an finds herself a week after getting settled in. How is she supposed to go about finding her soulmate when the small city seems to be falling apart every other day?

Summary
On paper, Soleil was perfect for the job. She had graduated second in her class from Atara University and was the youngest elected Commerce Guild Commissioner in the Free Cities.
Quick-witted, sarcastic, and keen to make a name for herself, she accepts the role of Governor for a settlement within the Northern Development Plan. There's just one thing that she failed to mention to those putting her in power: she's out for blood. Duvos blood, to be exact.
Commander Avery isn't known for his warm and fuzzies, but what will he do when he finds out the Governor isn't who she leads you to believe? Does he come to her aid or put a stop to her madness?

Summary
After some well-earned time in prison (and therapy), Pen is heading back to Sandrock, baby! Is it a good idea? He doesn’t think so, but he also doesn’t have any other good options. Getting a second chance, he knows there’s a lot of work to do convincing everyone he’s not the same villain that was previously escorted out of town in chains.
Things are different now, though. The love of his life is married, his job as Sandrock’s protector belongs to his old nemesis, Logan, and there aren't many job openings for ex-war criminals, so he's relegated to doing odd-jobs around town to scrape together a living until he’s given a new job—a contract to protect a wildlife biologist researching Sandrock’s monsters. What he expects to be an adult baby-sitting job turns out to be much more exciting when he finds himself catching feelings for the incredibly serious and awkward woman he now calls his boss.
With potential romance on the table, things start to feel like they’re finally going his way! That is, until his past with Duvos returns to haunt him and the ones he loves…

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
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 alternative version of The Kidnapping quest. It follows the main game but takes a lot of twists and turns! NSFW chapters are marked accordingly as well!

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.
