A New Venture; A Stardew Valley FanFic
When she thought of her life as an artist, Aisleigh thought it would be absolutely divine. Her years at school did not prepare her, however, for the amount of work she would have to do getting herself "out there". Feel bogged down living in Zuzu City, she comes across an old letter left by her grandfather. Without a second thought, Aisleigh quickly quits her job at Joja Corporation and moves out to the countryside to her grandfather's farm, Ebony Acres. Excited to make a fresh start, the harsh reality of starting over hits her square in the face. Trying to keep a brave appearance, she works tirelessly to rebuild Ebony Acres up to it's former glory. When she sees a star twinkling late at night, it seems to be fate that Sebastian would stumble upon her land. He is rough around the edges, his words are sharp. But, something about his distant personality only makes her think about him more. Will she create her happily ever after like her grandfather wanted or will someone else take the flame away? --Disclaimer-- I do not own any of the characters and all rights reserved to Concerned Ape and Stardew Valley.Complete
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.

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.Complete
