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.

a Stardew Valley fan fiction: The Proper Care and Feeding of Souls
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.Complete
