In a world shared by many races of beings, a war has erupted between the Dwarves and the creatures known as the Shadow People. The Dwarves, having driven the Shadow People from their ancestral home, forced the Shadow People to resort to violence, thus beginning The Elemental Wars. But the Shadow People overcame the Dwarven race and rose to the surface of the world, tired of living a life underground in the shadows. Their rage brought darkness upon the land, and their army moved in on the human race, angered by their alliance with the Dwarves. They took over cities rapidly, killing all who stood in their way, taking humans captive, and searching out those who escaped their grasp. The only hope left for humanity lies in a mythical valley where light still exists. But will the surviving humans reach this valley in time to restore light to their world once more?

  • Let the Rain Fall Down
    Let the Rain Fall Down
    "Look what I brought for us tonight, Seb." Her voice rang like a melody as she raised her other hand, showcasing a rather large bottle of mead. You recognized the label plastered on the side of the bottle. Your grandfather's winery. "I was helping my dad restock the shelves and told him I accidentally dropped the box, and they broke. I have the whole case in my room. I brought a couple of bottles with me tonight." Your eyes zoned in on the movement of her dainty fingers as their tips danced up his arm to his shoulder before changing course and resting over his chest. Sam pushed himself between the three of you and grabbed the bottle that sat within her grasp. "Don't mind if I do." He broke Abigail away from Sebastian-much to her disdain-pushing his way towards another pepper popper and shoved it inside his empty mouth...

    The Anti-Social Social Club [Sebastian Stardew Valley x Female Player]
    The Anti-Social Social Club [Sebastian Stardew Valley x Female Player]
    "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.

    Lean On Me | Shane X OC | Stardew Valley
    Lean On Me | Shane X OC | Stardew Valley
    The blood had already leaked down my forehead, but I kept my eyes on Shane and tried to blink quickly to clear my vision. "Hang on, please. Please hang on." He pleaded, holding my body up to a sitting position. I couldn't even remember what had struck me and I was getting nervous by Shane's worried face. "I'm... it hurts." I mumbled. "I'm so sorry." He held me closer. This time tears started to form in his dark green eyes but I could tell Shane didn't want to cry in front of me. My head started to feel more dizzy and I had to give in and close my eyes, much to Shane's dismay and his protests. I probably should've just listened to him from the start when he said don't go outside in this weather, but me being pissy with him and wanting to prove a point- I did and now I'm laying on the wet grass with a gash on my temple and an even bigger one on my leg. "We'll get you to Harvey." Shane said. I could hear his voice break at the end. He picked me up and started walking. "Please wake up." I wanted to so badly but I was exhausted from the hike and spending the night in the cold and shivering for hours. Shane's warm hands under my back and legs already felt way better. "This is all my fault. The one good thing to happen in my life...." Shane let out a sob but never stopped walking. I just wanted to hug him and tell him everything was going to be alright. I could feel the blood still tripping down my leg and face, so I knew I couldn't make false promises but Shane needed me. He needs me. I'm his anchor, I'm the girl he leans on when he's feeling like he's losing. I have to do this. I opened my eyes again. --CW-- Swearing Abuse Drinking NSFW Blood Painful backstories Book cover was done by me but I used a reference from stardewvalleycowboy because i've never drawn Shane before ^^.

And so, the standard company of quest-takers sets out: a pair of elves (a drow warrior and an elven princess), a dwarf, a mage, a holy man, a human prince, a werewolf, a cunning thief, and a warrior maiden. Who is the main hero among them? Who will survive it all-they don't know, but they are determined to retrieve the artifact that can defeat the Dark Lord. But how do they find the damned thing? In a small village, hidden in the foothills of the mountain range that divides the Dark and Light halves of the world, live ordinary people. They hunt, marry, quarrel-in short, they live their lives. And as fate would have it, it is they who know how to reach the artifact's resting place. The whole story is written from the perspective of one of the cart drivers accompanying the party. And one more thing: Everyone lies.
