This is a dark story. Read and heed the tags, I am warning you now. This is an AU where Duvos is not what the Alliance claims. There will be multiple major character deaths, no one (I mean it) is safe. These are not nice or happy people. Lucy WILL make the hard decisions.

This story will have two endings. One ending will be completely dead dove, the other will be closer to a HEA, they will release at the same time.

Chapter 1: Unwanted Orders

Major General Seraphina of the Duvos military is extremely unhappy. The Sandrock mission has gone completely off the rails and she has been assigned to clean house: exterminating the entire Duvos site team and retrieving the relics they'd been sent to recover. Embedding into the town as the newest builder, Lucy, Seraphina begins her mission, meeting and falling for the local bandit in the process.

Drabble Challenge 2025 Day 31 Prompt: Poppy

Alo sat glumly at the Blue Moon bar staring at the menu, hunger gnawing at him.

“Tummy still bothering you?” Owen asked sympathetically.

“Yeah.  Your food is delicious, Owen, but I just can’t get used to it.”

“I understand.  I have something for you.  I have a chef friend in Atara.  She sent me some recipes and several ingredients we don’t have here.”  Owen slid a platter in front of Alo and lifted the lid dramatically, “Ta-da!”

“Are those lemon poppy seed muffins?” Alo bounced in his seat, excitement filling him.

“Yep!  All for you.”

“Thanks, Owen, you’re the best!”

Drabble Challenge 2025 Day 30 Prompt: Hat

Andy bounced in anticipation.  It was the Day of Memories and Trudy’d decided to try something new this year.  She’d read about an Old World tradition of kids dressed in costumes begging people for candy and thought it sounded fun.

He adjusted his horned hat as he headed to the living room.  Lucy and Vivi had helped him make his costume, and he looked dandy.

Logan eyed Andy critically, taking in the entire spectacle. Andy held his breath, would he like his Logan costume?  

Finally, the man he admired most in the world broke into a broad grin, “Nice hat.”

Drabble Challenge 2025 Day 29 Prompt: Maelstrom

Wei jolted as the conductor announced the approaching Sandrock stop.  

This was it.  This was where his life began anew.  No more scrabbling for food, no more looking over his shoulder as the spectre of death shadowed him, no more praying for death to end it all while simultaneously fighting his hardest to survive.  

His twin brother was in this town.  Locked in a cage, appropriately.  

The train stopped. His gut roiled with a maelstrom of emotion. Time to face the man that stranded him in the most dangerous place in the world then stole his life.  

Wei was ready.

Drabble Challenge 2025 Day 28 Prompt: Mercy

Jane looked up from her paperwork as a knock sounded on the schoolhouse door.

“It’s open,” she called, rising from her desk.

The most beautiful man she’d ever seen entered.  Tall, muscular, beautiful blue eyes, a warm smile on his lightly tanned face.  He removed his horned hat to reveal lush silver-white hair, her fingers twitched with the urge to rake through that glorious mane.

“Miss Jane?” a warm, sexy, honeyed voice asked with a knee weakening drawl.  “I’m Andy’s Pa, thought I’d introduce myself.”

After he left, Jane sank bonelessly into her chair.

“Have mercy,” she whispered, fanning herself.

Drabble Challenge 2025 Day 27 Prompt: Transform

Lucy stared suspiciously at the liquid in her hand.

“This isn’t going to transform me into some kind of hideous creature, right?  Your medicines have turned me blue, blinded me for hours, and knocked me unconscious.  I’m losing faith in your abilities.”

“No,” Doctor Fang assured her.

She steeled herself and tossed back the liquid.  She waited.  Nothing so far.  Then, a vicious cramp in her gut followed by a long, loud bellow from her butt, and the air around her turned dark green and smelled of sewage.  Another fart followed.

She glared at Fang, mortified.

“Only…temporary.  You did not…transform.”

Drabble Challenge 2025 Day 26 Prompt: Narrow

Logan and Haru narrowed their eyes through their binoculars as they spied on the new builder.

“What’s she doing?” Haru asked.

“Looks like she’s stalkin’ a rocket rooster.”

She crept slowly up to the snoozing rooster, pulled her arm back, and flung her rock.  It bounced off the rooster, startling it, and it began to flap, cluck, and fire defensive rockets.  She screeched and ran from the crazed rooster, zig zagging back and forth, hands flapping, as she dodged the rockets.

The bandits laughed harder than they had in years.

“She’s gonna be a fun one to watch,” Logan wheezed.

Drabble Challenge 2025 Day 25 Prompt: Immense

“Director Qi, where have you been?”  Trudy demanded as she entered the Blue Moon.  All eyes swung to the pair.

“At the new ruins, why do you ask?”

“No one has seen you for three weeks!  We thought you were dead!  You can’t just leave like that with no word,” Trudy was incensed.

“I left a note.  This project is immense, I’m only here now to resupply.”

“‘Out for research.’ is not a note!  Times, locations, contact information.  That, Director Qi, is a note!”

“Ahhh, understood.  Thank you, Mayor, I shall correct it immediately,” he grabbed his supplies and left.

Drabble Challenge 2025 Day 24 Prompt: Date

Owen winked and slid the drink in front of Amirah.  “On the house.” 

She sighed as he walked away, sipping the drink.  “I really wish he’d just stop trying.  I’m never going to date him.  Perfecting my craft leaves little time for romance.”

The door jingled and she, Heidi, and Pablo stared at the newcomer; a smiling young woman with an athletic figure.  

“Lucy!” Owen boomed with a giant grin.  “You always brighten my day!”

As Owen gushed over the new builder, Pablo smiled cattily at Amirah’s sour face.  “Looks like you won’t have to worry about it much longer.”

Drabble Challenge 2025 Day 23 Prompt: Workshop

“No, no, no, Skinny, not like that.  You’re thinking too much.  The Space Punch isn’t about your brain, it’s about feeling the power resonating through your body, and out of your fist.  I can only show you so many times, you have to make the effort to learn it yourself.”

Lucy glared at Pen.  Why had she agreed to let this big bag of wind teach her his “Space Punch”? 

“Again, with an easy target.  How about that bunny over there?” he shot her a mocking grin.

She shot him a finger, spun around, and headed back to her workshop.

Drabble Challenge 2025 Day 22 Prompt: Tenacity

“Come on, Rian, help me with this!” Dan-bi demanded.

Rian sighed.  “Why are you so insistent on this, babe?  The room’s fine as it is, the baby won’t care.”

“Our baby is going to have the best room in Sandrock, where she can grow and become the best citizen Sandrock has ever seen.  Now help me!”

Through her tenacity and force of will, with Rian’s reluctant help, Dan-bi meticulously directed every move, until, finally, the baby’s room was complete. 

“It’s perfect!” she sighed admiringly.

“Great, let’s get dinner,” Rian enthused, heading outside.

Dan-bi growled softly at her frustrating husband’s back.
