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
"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.

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
Saudade is one of the most present words in love poetry in the Portuguese language and also in popular music. It describes the mixture of feelings of loss, lack, distance and love. “Saudade” is a untranslatable Portuguese term that refers to the melancholic longing or yearning.
“Saudade is a vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist, for something other than the present.” – Aubrey Bell
It can be used when you miss someone or something. It differs from nostalgia in that one can feel "longing" for something that may never have happened, whereas nostalgia is a sentimental longing for the happiness of an old place or period in time.Harvey is longing for something more.

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
Shane had no reason to celebrate the farmer's wedding, especially with their past in question. As everyone gathered at Gus's for reception, he stayed at home alone. Drowning himself in his thoughts once again.
Alex was always better than him anyway. Handsome, charismatic, and pretty damn good at gridball.
He thought things would really change in the valley, but I guess old habits just die hard.

Summary
"Should be grateful I waste my time on you," Pam drawled, slowly, smug in her delivery. "Seein' as you fuck like my ex-husband."
Oh, Shane's glare was delicious. Dark and full of hatred, the booze rubbing some of the glaze from his eyes so she could see how he seethed at it. She giggled again, sank the last of her pint, slapped him twice on the knee as she got to her feet. "We doin' this or what?"
A long night of drinking comes to a predictable end.

This is how my Stardew run has gone so far. While this happened to my poor farmer, I, of course, needed to add additional drama.

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 -
