    Summary

    Every time his world breaks apart, Shane finds himself laying in a twin bed covered in dinosaur sheets at his Aunt Marnie's ranch. When he was 8, he thought he would only see Pelican Town for a summer. Now Shane is 32, and he's here indefinitely. Something has to be different this time, something has to work out, just this once. Shane is going to try everything, starting with a tarot reading from Emily.

    Summary

    You watch him raise his beer to his lips, wipe his mouth with the back of his hand. He stares at the bar. "There's safety in being gentle," he says slowly. "Most people like being safe."

    Elliott. Sebastian. Harvey. All good guys. You enjoyed your time together. But you're still looking for someone to give it to you like you want. Fuck you hard, make you feel something.

    Shane isn't boyfriend material. He tells you to fuck off and you argue drunkenly. You don't know anything about him and he wants to keep it that way. But when he propositions you one night, you know instinctively that he's the man for the job.

    Two rules. Keep it casual, and don't try to fix him.

    (You break them both.)

    Summary

    Harvey has just moved into Stardew Valley after buying the clinic in its Pelican Town. But Harvey is anxious, awkward and crippling with self-doubt, so managing his own clinic in a random town in the middle-of-nowhere part of the British countryside is a hard thing to adjust to.
    Shane has always struggled with his mental health, but ever since taking on the father figure role with his goddaughter Jas, he has been slipping towards rock bottom. His alcoholism has gotten worse, he's been isolating himself from his family and his thoughts have gotten more and more unbearable.
    But when these two struggling men meet one warm Spring evening, they learn that they can overcome any mental road blocks with love, understanding and trust. And they both need therapy.
    (Trying to frequently upload this fic, but I'm doing my exams/coursework up until summer 2026 and I have really bad memory/motivation, so PLEASE don't mind if I forget to upload frequently a few times.)

    Summary

    Pelican Town, situated in the Stardew Valley, is a town of habit. The paths through the forests and across the plaza were worn down over time. The people in this valley have been here for a while, forging their lives, creating their purposes, and building their lives. This was not obvious to anyone except for the three interlopers of Stardew Valley: Dr. Harvey, Shane, and Tatti. A doctor, a drunk, and a farmer.
    One may think that habits are sure. But really, habits are fragile.
    One may think that a doctor, a drunk, and a farmer are three professions that stick closely to their habits. But really, they each thrive on the unknown.
    One may think that after years in Pelican town the doctor, the drunk, and the farmer would have figured out the key to a structured life. But really, the key was no secret to be found out.
    They each had a structure, a path, a purpose, a routine. They were always creatures of habit.
    --
    The trials and tribulations of the married life between farmer oc and Harvey. Shane throws a wrench in things. Angsty, smutty, and fluffy story. Farmer is a woman with a hard past. As canon and detailed as possible. Short fic. Thanks for reading! <3

    Summary

    Daisy Mae Wilde inherited her grandfather's farm two years ago. After some rather unfortunate events, she leaves her life in Zuzu City for Pelican Town in hopes of finding peace. A purpose. Instead, she finds herself tangled up in a situation she certainly didn't sign up for with Shane Cooper - Pelican Town's very own alcoholic asshole. Already struggling to stay afloat because of their own personal struggles, Daisy and Shane have to figure out how to navigate something no one else can ever know about while pretending that there totally isn't anything going on between them. This'll be easy... right?

    ***MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING for suicidal thoughts/attempt, mentioned childhood abuse and neglect, sibling death and grief, alcoholism, and mental illness. There is accidentally gore in chapter 13***

    Summary

    Would the farm accept you? Would the people of the town learn to trust you? Both had already experienced a terrible farmer and what makes you think they would try to let another attempt their chance at success? You feel the woods loom around you as you forage. The land seems to resist your attempts at planting. The fish are disgusted by your bait. Even worse, the townspeople do their best to keep away from you. You were used to being an outcast but you could feel the pressure of your decisions weighing on your chest. In a last ditch effort, you begin befriending Shane, the local asshole that may be experiencing the same problems as you. Due to your expertise in math, you find that you have only a year to bring in some kind of profit. Your funds are running out quickly, family members are gossiping, and you must be hallucinating because you saw a green apple run away from your farm? Dear Yoba...

    Summary

    Some would say they had each other at 'hello', You were amused by his "Fuck Off" more than anything in this small town.

    Was it wrong to repeatedly bother the town's drunk on purpose? Nah.
    Is it creepy to shower him in weird gifts? Of course not! You do that to everyone!
    Should you continue attempting to make conversation with him while you block his way to work? Absolutely.

    Once you get close enough, you can convince him to marry you for tax benefits and be yours. Two birds, one stone.

     

    Or:

    Shane is a flustered, depressed bean, and the farmer is a classy woman, flexing on him and subtly seducing him with her charms~

    I think the weak ass horny bitch arc is overrated. Stop being a clingy, stuttering, damsel in distress. So why not switch it up? This man ain't gonna know what tf he got himself into. ',:)

    Summary

    "She deserved someone better. Someone who didn’t smell like beer most days and self-sabotage the rest. She was sunshine, and he was mildew."

    Shane has built walls around his heart that are too thick to tear down—at least, that’s what he tells himself. He’s just fine being alone, tending to his chickens and drowning his demons in beer. But when a bright, relentless farmer moves to Pelican Town and somehow sees him, Shane’s carefully constructed walls start to crack. He doesn’t want her to get too close. He doesn’t want to be saved. He doesn’t want anything from her.

    But she doesn’t give up on him.

    And now, as his heart begins to betray him, Shane has to decide if he’ll keep running from the thing that could save him—or let her follow him into the dark.

    Start of a Jumpchain; Stardew Valley ;3

    —X—

    Suicide is not something somebody should do.
    Gale died alone, lying on his bed after taking what he spent years calling the "Death Cocktail" inside his mind- all the pills he could get, all his sleep medication, and one all the alcohol he could drink.

    He overdosed while asleep, dying then and there.

    He never expected to wake up in a younger body, having inherited his granpa's old farm, and with another chance at life... Maybe, just maybe, he could be happy?
