Listen, I think we could all use a little fluffy escape to get through the day so I'm gonna write some entirely self-indulgent Stardew inspired one-shots. You don't necessarily have to read them in order, but they will connect to form a larger friends-to-lovers story if you do. I'm going to write some short stories based around giving Elliott each one of his loved items (crab cakes, duck feather, lobster, pomegranate, and tom kha soup). I'm also going to write chapters based on the flower dance, heart events, bouquet giving, engagement, and the wedding. No set update schedule for the foreseeable future; I have very limited creative energy at the moment. I may branch out to other characters later, but I plan to focus on Elliott first (because he's my favorite lol) and we'll see how far this goes.
