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.

That Thing From The Woods - Shane x Deer-man Reader
Shane feels stuck in his life; like he can't and doesn't deserve better. During one shitty night, after downing one too many beers, he sees something. Or at least swears he does. But at least he gets a "cool" boyfriend and best friend out of it? - I don't own Stardew Valley or it's characters, just my interpretations / own writing. The Deer-man doesn't really do much, it's very Shane centric. Deer-man is legit somewhat of a crypid that hardly speaks english, or whatever. The farmer is a different person with an unspecified name, that uses she/her pronouns. Platonic relationship with Shane! !!! Warnings/Look-outs; -Unrealistic, -Shitty Writing, -Doesn't Follow Shane's Storyline/Has a few loose versions of his events, -Alcoholism, -Depression, -Awkward Characters Interactions, -No Smut, -Self-Indulgent for Author, -No Proof-reading, -Accidental Headcanon additions, -Maybe Inconsistent Writing? -Crossposted on A03, as Vequill. (I didn't realize it wasn't 'confirmed' that Shane was the brother of Jas' mother, before she passed away. I remember learning it at some point from somewhere... Whoops. Though I think he's still her uncle in some capacity.) The Dwarvish was created using a generator found online! The translating process (Dwarvish to English) is still buggy, but there's no parts where needed information written in this fan-fiction is only said in Dwarvish.

Liminal Space | A Stardew Valley FanFiction
Main characters: Seb ♥, Sam, and Abigail! When Callista Kennedy's farm renovation is interrupted by a late-season hurricane, she is given no choice but to stay with Robin while the storm runs its course. It quickly becomes evident that she is not the only one to resent this arrangement; Sebastian - who was exiled from his room to accommodate her stay - finds her just as unbearable as she finds him. Battling both the elements and his cynicism, Callie finds herself having to confront both the past and her history with Sebastian while trying to internally cope with her own struggles. A story that explores a childhood friendships' fallout, proximity, spite, and foolish lust, Liminal Space bridges the gap between too much and not enough to tell a story of pure humanity - and the inevitable connections we make along the way. Disclaimer: all characters, with the exception of Callie, are property of ConcernedApe and his game, Stardew Valley.Complete
Sebastian x Awkward female reader
You moved to Stardew valley to get away from your boring job in Zuzu city. You didn't plan on meeting someone special there, until you met him. :) Random side notes: I'm not really good at writing fanfics (especially shipping ones), Or heck. Just writing in general. since I don't write stories that often. And this is my first time writing a fanfic about Stardew valley. (Woo!) Anyway... The "Reader" character is super awkward, and has anxiety, because why the heck not? This is my fanfic. I'll write it how I want. xD Some of these chapters aren't that long, because I'm lazy, and others are really long because IDK where to end them! :D There are a few headcanons sprinkled in here and there. I don't write lemon, so your eyes are safe from that. You just have to deal with my bad writing. X'D (Small warning: There is some blood mentioned at one point.) Extra stuff: Y/n: Your name F/n: Farm name E/c: Eye color H/c: Hair color D/n: Dog name (Because I'm not good at thinking of names/colors for things.) (Obviously, I own none of the characters that are mentioned here, they all belong to ConcernedApe) I hope you enjoy.Complete

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 ^^.Complete
