Summary
In a village of hearts, some beat louder. Some beat quieter. And sometimes, they crash together in the most unexpected ways.
(Author's Note: Just a heads-up: This fic is pretty much 90% headcanons — we’re diving deep into what might never happen in the game, so buckle up for some wild pairings and unexpected moments! If you love what-ifs and want to see my take on these characters, then welcome aboard! This is where my brain went when I let it wander too far from the canon.)

Alex was such an asshole. But what else was he supposed to be?
His dad told him boys don’t cry. His coaches told him to "man up." His friends said faggot like it was a punchline. And Sebastian, with his eyeliner and his silence and his midnight walks—Sebastian was everything Alex wasn’t allowed to want.Series

Summary
Stardew’s hottest underground band was all noise, neon, and heartbreak.
Sam was the golden boy. Abigail was the thunder. Sebastian never said how he felt—until it was too late.
Aly was just a girl who loved their songs.Until the tour. The motels. The long drives. The kinds of kisses you don’t come back from.
It was never just about the music.
Groupies aren’t supposed to fall for the lead guitarist.
(Especially not when everything’s already falling apart.)Series

From spring tutoring sessions to the moonlight jellies, from rainy nights to haunted mazes, Penny slowly realizes that the quiet boy in the hoodie may have been seeing her all along.
A story about missed signals, shifting hearts, and the way someone unexpected can feel like home.Series

Summary
Alex is a rising gridball star with a lie that spiraled: he told the press he had a small-town girlfriend. He didn’t expect to come home and catch his actual girlfriend cheating on him with a redheaded artist. He also didn’t expect Penny—quiet, bookish Penny—to step in and pretend to be his girlfriend when two reporters showed up.
Now they’re fake-dating for the media. Penny lives in a trailer and doesn’t understand why someone like Alex would choose her, even just for pretend. Alex is trying not to fall for someone who looks at him like he's more than just muscle and a gridball jersey.

Summary
After years away, Maru comes back to Stardew Valley for a brief visit. Everything looks the same, yet nothing feels familiar. Her parents, the valley, and the quiet corners of her childhood home bring a bittersweet nostalgia—but it’s Libby, with their expanding farm and quiet confidence, who unsettles her the most. Between evenings spent revisiting old labs, stargazing, and sharing moments that teeter between friendship and desire, Maru realizes some connections don’t fade—they only wait.
