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
Logan's inability to find meaning in the meaningless universe damned him to a life of mundanity. Seven years after a devastating break-up, he stagnated in Sandrock, watching from afar as Maxine took her place as the world's best Builder with a series of best-selling books catapulting her to stardom. When the city refuses to investigate strange happenings in the Eufaula like unexpectedly enraged monsters and murders related to an Old World folk hero, his recklessness drives him to investigate, but he's not the only one.

Summary
-------------------------------------
Her chin was slightly raised, her lips in a firm line. Like a challenge: ‘Call me darlin’ again and see what happens.’
-------------------------------------
Logan feels an instant pull towards Lucy, but she seems less than impressed by him.
She's also in a relationship with his best friend. Or, the person who used to be his best friend.
The bandit resigns himself to admiring the builder from afar, but events conspire to bring them closer together.
Follows the canon storyline, starting just after The Goat, so beware of spoilers.
This will be a classic retelling of the in-game story, but with a focus on the moments that might have occurred between Logan and Lucy during and in-between events.
NSFW chapters will be marked, but note the slow burn/eventual romance tags. There will be a wait.

Summary
What happens when Logan becomes a free man? Who does the Yakboy, Interrupted ultimately become? And what happens when he finally meets the one gal who matches his appetites bite for bite?
The (complete) long-running weekly serial/spicy 🔥 Sandrock ensemble where you can tune into town gossip, learn why Larry loves Xena, meet Owen's folks, laugh, cry, and contemplate Cooper’s toes. Or: a quasi-sci-fi, town-sprawling, oft-imitated-never-duplicated yakboy romcom, featuring all your favorite Sandrock characters and also all the other ones. Yes, all of them. As one daring reader calls it: “...consistently entertaining for free!”
Includes occasional issues of Cryptid Monthly!
Begins with an alternate take on "Cornered Beasts" and lingers elsewhere and beyond, focusing on Logan and his builder, Vee. Spoilers & wild speculation about the Free Cities abound. Explicit. Finito.
