// AstraTheDragon and some friends playing at gunslinging in D&D 5th Edition recorded in novel form. //
After a once-off job some accomplices and hired hands end up with prices on their heads. At each other's mercy, they must learn to co-operate and watch one another's backs or else they'll all end up in the cooler. Can true justice be found in such a violent and lawless land?

"Almost Green" by NUmaker
34 parts Complete
Strands of your mind cling together like web to a slippery leaf bathed in the morning dew. You have seen both heaven and hell, witnessed the atrocities of war firsthand, and imagined a better life in the deepest, most intimate corners of your dreaming spirit. The wishes for peace and certainty you have once so desperately longed for, now lay trampled underneath the might of your mind's vivid horrors. What was once so bright and lively, now cowers in fear, clinging to gone memories like a shipwreck survivor to some lowly piece of driftwood. From the depths of hell, you arrived victorious, grasping the laurel wreath high above your head. Unrecognizable, with your empty eyes telling a story of innocence brutally taken away from the child curling in shame in the depths of your empty soul. Almost green you are, curly head, having grown up with a rifle by your bedside table, never knowing peace and quiet. Out of the pan that was the Kazdel Civil War and into the scorching flames of Lungmen, where life flows by on its own accord, here, you must learn to live once more. So put on your best facade, Let the reuniting trumpets ring a wild, And allow the city to swallow you whole. Here we are, a continuation of my previous work "Goodbye Curly Head", which sprawled into quite the epistle (but it wasn't really a letter, it's just long :P). Summarized in the most basic way possible, it's a story about a twenty-year-old Kazdel Civil War veteran who goes to Lungmen and has some troubles acclimating to the steady life presented before him. Sprinkle in a too-good-to-be-true offer and a freshly established logistics company, and you get Andy trying to make it big for as long as his deteriorating mental state lets him. I'd say it works as a standalone story for anyone who doesn't want to bother reading the first part. For now, at least. As always, please, pwwease leave a comment, positive, negative, I LOOOVE reading and replying to comments!!
Southern Charm by anj6232
26 parts Complete Mature
Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations for a twenty-four-year-old. While others her age might be in college or embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!

Before Smoky lived on the Nameless Street, P & his family moved there. His parents taught the kids of the street the values of family & survival until they suddenly passed. As a young kid growing up on the Street, P's sister knew them as well as any Rude Boy. One day while trying to help children escape a kidnapping she is taken instead. 5 years later, there's still no sign of her until P spots a girl at the Fight on the Container Street that looks like his sister. Only, this girl has no memory of him or the Rude Boys & further more claims to be Rocky's younger sister? Watching all seasons & movies will help you enjoy the story more as you'll be able to recognize more scenes not as elaborated on, characters, Easter eggs etc. especially in later chapters. It's not required & you can still understand & enjoy the story I try & keep characters as close to in character and their original personalities & plot while adding more background & behind the scenes to those we don't hear a lot of in the original material (specially in earlier chapters) Update: A/N & annot. will now be in the comments, to keep the look of chapters cleaner. Story is my own creation, inspired from High&Low. I've had it in the back of my head for a while, since Jan. 2020 & writing here began Mar.-Apr. 2021. So if by chance resembles another fan-fiction you have previously read, I apologize & kindly ask for a link so I can make sure I have time to change my ideas so future plot points aren't the same/similar. Disclaimer: I don't own HiGH&LOW characters, plots, images etc. only original characters I personally created for this story. These rights go the creators of this world EXILE HIRO & other producers, writers, directors & actors of the project/franchise. I don't make any profit & purely written as a fan of the franchise. I wish to keep rights to my original designs that aren't found in the source material. Please ask before using them in your own material. Pc: HiGH&LOW
The Rogue Mate by RocketK

"- Have you figured it out? He asks me as he manages to place one of his hands on my face before he traces it down my neck, past my chest and down towards my hips where he grabs a solid hold of my thigh. - Yes, I have... I answer as I move my head slightly closer to his, my hands still around his neck. - What have you discovered? He asks as he moves closer to me in return, our eyes burying into each other. - That I want you, and that I need you. The tip of his nose barely touches mine, but the tension between us causes our skin to be ten times as sensitive as it normally is. - And...? He goes on. - I want you to claim me, Blake. I need you to claim me...now." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Three years ago, Blake and Kate's destinies were intertwined by an event that caused them both losses they found hard to cope with.

His hair, his eyes, his touch is all I need, I never thought all that of him can make me feel like this and to my surprise, I act like a child.

“Where is revenge going to get you, Adam? What’s it going to prove?” Katie asked. “He killed my brother, Kate. I won’t rest until I bring him to justice” “By murder?” The determination in Adam’s eyes gave Katie little hope of changing his mind. He said nothing but stared at her as if the thought of murder was completely foreign to him. “That’s exactly what you’ll be doing, Adam” Katie warned. Adam’s jaw clenched and he nodded in determination. “Then so be it.”
