    Summary

    The farmer is dead.

    After just one single, measly year in Pelican Town, the farmer is dead. A freak accident, changing the course of every life in town, but none more than those of her three best friends.

    Because for some stupid reason, she left the farm to those three best friends, rather than leaving it to the bank or letting Lewis make the call. And, for some stupider reason, Abigail, Sebastian, and Sam agreed to it. Nevermind that they're all swimming in oceans of grief which feel bottomless. Nevermind that Sam and Sebastian are the biggest will they won't they that Pelican Town has ever seen. Nevermind that out of the three of them, exactly none of them know the first thing about running a farm.

    But, after all, it's just gardening. How hard could it be?

    Summary

    New home. New life. new responsibilities.

    Having received an opportunity to start over, Eira was more than eager to embrace it. Her grandfather’s old farm and weathered cottage might need a few repairs here and there, yet she finally felt like she was shaping her own future—an adventure that was much more thrilling than daunting. This new beginning carried a shining hope, and she believed in it wholeheartedly.

    Robin, the carpenter, had generously lowered her prices to help Eira get settled—a kindness she would never forget, and one she promised to repay someday.

    But when the new farmer’s bright, cheerful energy collided with her younger brother’s shadowed past, Robin realized that Eira had far more to offer than meets the eye...

    Summary

    Charlie grew up with grand dreams of doing something to truly help people. She wanted to touch the lives of those in need and make this difficult world just a little bit of a better place. Instead, she'd gotten herself stuck in a dead-end job with nothing but a rundown apartment and anxiety issues to show for it.
    Until one day, she finds a letter that will change her life forever.

    ***

    Abigail grew up resentful of her family. Resentful of the small town she lived in. Wishing for adventure and magic and... something to break the monotony of her day to day. She longed for someone who believed her that magic was real and spirits really did live in the forests.
    Then one day, someone new moved into town and her life changed forever.

    Beta'd by the awesome halixius.

    Summary

    "About a month ago Alex caught himself looking at Sam differently. And not in a weird way. No, no, of course it wasn’t like that. It couldn’t be like that. It was more so… admiration. Alex could appreciate anyone that tried as hard as Sam did. And it wasn’t that he was a show off, that would’ve pissed him off. Sam was simply the kind of guy that wanted to do his best and pushed himself until he achieved that goal."

    OR

    Alex has gay thoughts and doesn't wanna call it that.

    ADDITIONALLY

    SamAlex has a work count in the negatives (/hj) and Benji wanted to fill the void.
