    Summary

    This is a collection of wintry oneshots set in Sandrock! Most are winter-themed in a general sense as opposed to focused on holidays themselves, but I had to go for that alliterative title. 😉

    -----

    UPDATE! December 31, 2025: Happy New Year, Sandrockers! 🎉 I wrote a new Winter Solstice/New Year's spin on the aftermath of an intensified version of Cornered Beasts. It's fluffy with hurt/comfort and confessions of feelings and Logan being Logan (he will not stay on bed rest if Lucy's in trouble) and all of that good stuff.

    I'm adding it as a new chapter in this collection since it fits the theme. If you're new to High Desert Holidays, nearly all of the chapters are oneshots! You won't need to read them all to read this one, though I certainly wouldn't complain if you did. 😉

    Summary

    “Did that flower spit at us?”

    “Well, in a manner, although,” Emmrich blinked a few times. His face was spattered with pollen of the same vibrant color of the center of the flowers, the purple-red spots of pollen bright against his pale skin. “Flowers are technically the sexual organs of a plant.”

    “So it just…“ Rook tried not to laugh. “Dinner first would have been nice.”

    Summary

    When the confrontation at Blackthorne Manor goes wrong, Rook ends up captured by the villainous Johanna Hezenkoss, a master of both the necromantic arts and grudge-keeping.

    Rook always knew that Hezenkoss was a piece of work. What she didn't realize was the lengths the failed lich would go to in order to get back at Emmrich Volkarin…

    Summary

    “Of course I know,” she beamed, wrapping her arms around his midsection and burying her face in his shirt coyly, feeling herself frown slightly when she felt him inexplicably flinch. “It’s nice to know you’re watching out for me, Emmrich. If I didn’t have you, I don’t kn–”

     

    Her words halted abruptly when the realization hit her that her lower abdomen was resting on Emmrich’s lap, and either he had a sizable vial of alchemy ingredients in his pocket or…

     

    No plot here, just Emmrich getting excited at an awkward moment and Rook deciding to take care of it for him with unintended results.
