[stardew valley-based fanfic, enjoyyy~] Aurora Hale drifts back into Pelican Town after four years, a ghost in her own hometown-haunted by fresh graves and tragic memories. She moves in with her cousin Abigail, trading daylight for the soft blur of nights where pills dissolve the edges of everything. The valley's endless stars feel too close, too sharp, so she chases the quiet hum that makes them fade. Sebastian is still there, a shadow in the corners of her vision--his mouth a memory she can't erase, now belonging to someone brighter, softer. Watching them together tastes like ash. Old cravings resurface. New ones bloom. Aurora sinks into arms that promise warmth, into highs that promise nothing at all--until the line between numb and gone starts to vanish.

Stardew Valley - Shane X OC Maeve: a female name of Irish origin meaning "she who intoxicates" If she was a drink she'd be a single-barreled bourbon on ice. Smooth with a kick. A chill and a burn all at the same time. Calliope "Maeve" Walton needing an escape from her life, jumped at the opportunity to take on her late grandfathers farm. The loss of both of her parents, her little sister, and her best friend, enduring an abusive relationship, and years of losing herself in more ways than one brought on some not so healthy habits. Hoping to get away from her past, bits and pieces still linger as she re-discovers who she is and comes to term with her trama, finding friends along the way. Her hard demeanor slowly crumbling below her, she tries to hold up her walls. Something that proves to be more difficult than she thought the more she gets to know Shane, the local alcoholic. TW: Cussing, mentions of suicide, alcoholism, depression, abuse/domestic violence/mentions of rape possible, sexual harassment, possible smut later on. I do not own the characters or setting aside from the main character Calliope, all credit goes to concernedape. Cover photo is unfortunately not mine. It belongs to @DrewRaffael on Twitter! But it is by far my favorite fanart of Shane. 💙 1k Reads - 3/2022 💙 🖤 2k Reads - 2/2023 🖤 🥈#2 in Stardew Valley - 9/2021 🥈 🥇#1 in Stardew Valley - 2/2022 🥇

🍑 Currently Editing 🍑 ** Stuck between pleasing her parents or honouring her inner child, Wren chose to re-spark her love of farming after her life fell apart. In the mits of rebuilding her identity, her idea of the future is challenged by a (over) confident, loud-mouthed trouble maker, forcing Wren to question what she is willing to work through to understand what is is to truly love and be loved. Sam had coasted through his life, never challenged, never objected. Sure, his constant pranks on the mayor and less then smooth love life has come with consequences, but nothing has ever been serious to him, and he liked it that way. Until he sees the farmer, and for the first time in his life, is faced with a challenge and long lasting consequences.

So, I wrote this for myself, not expecting anyone else would ever read it. I needed it, so I wrote it. When I was done I figured maybe someone else might need it, too, so here it is.

[STARDEW VALLEY FANFICTION] Ever since I started at Joja, it seems like everything is pointless. I keep Grandpa's letter in my desk drawer, and everyday, I contemplate opening it, but I remember his words: "Don't open it until you are sure there is nothing else to keep you going." And this was it. The ridiculous "age wage" joja used to base payroll off of, was killing me. I was running down to my last bit of savings rapidly.

Sage Sandoval has had enough of Zuzu City and her shitty parents. In less than 24 hours, she uproots her life and settles on her grandfather's old land. She expected to farm, to work hard and focus on survival. What she didn't expect was community, a glimpse into her past, and to fall in love with a certain reclusive programmer. This is a story about trauma and healing. About love, friendship, and learning to let people in and break down the walls we put up to protect ourselves. Story takes place around 2006. Alternating POV between Sage/Sebastian. Please be aware traumatic situations will be discussed at length in this fic.

"I'd met my match with Sebastian. He was just as much of a loner as I was-maybe even more. We were the only two members of the anti-social social club. It met every Wednesday: under the covers of Sebastian's bed." Stella's memory of Stardew Valley isn't the greatest and she swore she'd never return. But when her father wants to sell her grandfather's farm, Stella reluctantly agrees to buy it off him, afraid that her memories of the valley will disappear altogether if she lets it slip away. As she returns to Pelican Town, the gaps in her memory start to revive as she meets new faces, and reunites with old ones. Her first friend is the extroverted, blue haired Emily, who becomes Stella's key insight into the lives of her neighbors in Stardew Valley. Her first crush is the easy-going, adorably clueless skateboarder, Sam, who she runs into on her very first full day in the valley. Sam is everything Stella is not, and maybe he's what she needs-someone to counteract her melancholic, reclusive personality. But when she meets his dark haired, moody and pessimistic friend Sebastian, who is the complete opposite of Sam, she becomes enthralled with him, wanting to crack through his tough exterior to see what lies beneath. Sebastian is everything she wants, but knows she doesn't need. She knows how he is, because she is the same way. He's like a carbon copy of herself and that only intrigues her more. She knows he's like poison, but the way he makes her feel becomes like an addiction.

This is the story of how Sebastian the socially anxious emo boy fell for farmer Trevor's granddaughter Amber. Please be advised there is strong language and 18+ content.
