Summary
~~~
Luka is a reluctant technician on the Whale, a Duvos warship executing a secret mission near ancient ruins in the Sandrock city state territory. A chance encounter with the local monster hunter and ruin diver sets in motion events that will change his life forever.

Woke up one night during a thunderstorm and my brain suddenly went "Hey! Hey! You know what? What iiiiif... What if the builder WAS a Duvos spy?"
Some alterations to that setting (you'll see along the way), some drafting later and here we are.
Trigger warning for: gun violence, some other types of violence, more mature themes and some smut. Also, some major character death. This may not be a good fic for Pen fans. Will try to provide more concrete trigger warnings for more serious situations at the beginning of the chapters.
The overall timeline is the same as the game but there will be a few deviations from canon to accommodate the concept.
Not beta read, English not my native language and my writing is nowhere near as good as other authors' on this site but yolo.
Any comments, criticism, kudos, feedback is appreciated.

Summary
Luka wants to build a park in Sandrock and enrolls his friends' help.
Stev, now professor Luo's assistant, comes to Sandrock to help with the huge project.The story follows Stev and his developing relationships with the townsfolk, especially with a particular saloon owner.
Owen thought he was past the events of that evening during the Duvos attack but the memories resurface after coming face to face one more time with the soldier that took care of him that time. Could that same former soldier help him fully get rid of the nightmares?
~~~
This story is a direct sequel / spin off to [The Spy], which focused on Luka, the builder, and covered the main events of the game, with some extra bits. I recommend reading that one first to get familiar with the characters.
[A Rose By Any Other Name] takes place post end game.
~~~Some cannon divergence (i.e. Luka, the builder was a Duvos military technician and spy/double agent) but the main events of the game are covered.
No major trigger warnings. Unlike [The Spy], this story does not have as much violence and dark themes. There will be smut.
