'Oh, please,' [̸̥̉͠Ḛ̴̏r̶̺̋͋͜r̵̖̥̒ǫ̷̓̿r̵̖̘̄͗]̸̣̾͝ spat, his face contorting with disgust. 'You're barely human.'" After her world comes crashing down on her, Nix Weekly quits her job and moves to her grandfather's old farm in Stardew Valley, Capricorn Grove. Her life can't get any worse, she figures. Besides, a half-blood like her? Perhaps she'd be better off in a place with less people to snicker and sneer at her appearance. It's not like her father's looks ever did her any favors anyway. Because Nix looks like a frog. And humans don't like frogs. Or so she thought. Because when Sebastian looks at her, all he can think about is how beautiful she would look in the rain. It's a shame someone wants her dead. ------ Man, I love frogs. *TW // Blood, swords/knives/guns, war flashbacks, violence, vulgar language, death, potentially disturbing imagery, the selling of people* ; This is one of the darkest fanfictions I've ever written, so keep these TWs in mind.
