a Stardew Valley fan fiction: The Proper Care and Feeding of Souls by leimora23
40 parts Complete Mature
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. The beginning might feel heavy or boring, but please hang in there because just like life - the good stuff comes out of the dark stuff. Grace vowed to herself that she would rid herself of the broken, predictable life she had somehow fallen into and in its place, she would create a new life, one that truly fed her wanting soul. Reeling from an unthinkable experience, Grace moves to Stardew Valley, intent on recapturing the magic of her childhood. Instead, she finds herself on a ramshackle farm, void of childhood memories. Slowly, she discovers the true magic of the valley in the people who live there. (Main characters include Sebastian, Sam, Abigail, Penny) A playlist with songs can be found on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2oW9H4qbHiPttX0As8hiF4?si=5WHLP1sARgWeOyYyqVrkcg Mature Content: Sebastian and Abigail are potty mouths. There is literally nothing I can do about it. :) You will also encounter mature storylines including physical and sexual assault, thoughts of suicide, and alcohol addiction.

Lean On Me | Shane X OC | Stardew Valley by angels_cornerz
24 parts Complete Mature
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 ^^.

A Lasting Curse by OliTheWaterDemon
15 parts Ongoing Mature
This is my first story to be posted on Wattpad. This is the story of a curse, and those bearing it learning to make it their own. It is a story of love, and hope. A story of conflict and despair. If you can't handle mature topics such as self harm, alcoholism, war, PTSD, depression, chronic illness, please don't read it. Otherwise, enjoy this special story! I am also co-writing this with @Endereye587, and they are a really good writer so I recommend looking at some of their stuff. Trigger warning because there is mention of self-harm and alcoholism, as well as general mental health stuff.
