    Summary

    At the end of a successful first year on the farm, the last stretch of winter gives you too much time on your hands. Your hubris compels you to make a risky trip to gather ores in the mine. You realize pretty quickly that you may be dealing with more than you bargained for, and there’s no one coming to save you.

    Until someone unexpected does.

    This event shakes the entire valley, encouraging new and deepening relationships with the residents of Pelican Town — for better and for worse. Friendships are founded and tested alike as you find yourself quite in the middle of something years in the making.

    You are the AFAB farmer with limited physical description.

    VERY temporary hiatus (building a TTRPG)

    Summary

    "Do you know what I am going to do to you?" The voice is low, grating, as if it comes not from his throat but was scraped from the very bottom of his ribcage. The Creature keeps his large hand sealed over your mouth. You can only shake your head. “I will kill you.”

    You almost shiver: half your fantasies of him start precisely like this.

    Or, the Creature arrives in Geneva to enact his revenge by murdering Victor’s family and friends, starting with you— only for you to extend him kindness, as is due of someone as pious and chaste as yourself. Curious and lonely, he lingers to watch you, to aid you, and finds in a fair and godly guise a companion perhaps even more monstrous than he.

    Summary

    Sam feels like a fish out of water in Zuzu City; new college, new job, a new sense of freedom that he isn't sure he likes as much as he expected to. What's worse is that his manager takes an immediate disliking to him, and won't seem to let it go.

    It's a little funny that the guy shares a name with Sam's ex-best friend. The two of them are nothing alike.

    Summary

    Sam and Sebastian are in their late 20's and struggling to find their places in the world. Programming work is running dry in Zuzu City, and Sebastian faces the reality that he's going to have to move back home. He and Sam (who never left town) pool their savings and buy Pam's old trailer. To help make ends meet, Sebastian decides to join the Adventurer's Guild, with Sam at his side. Can these two friends with benefits find true love in the Mines?

    *~*

    For a long minute there was nothing but silence, as Sam stared at his hands and Sebastian shifted in his chair.

    "Alright," Marlon said, finally, his voice causing Sam to jump. "We've heard enough." Sam braced himself to be told to get out, but Marlon spoke again. "We'll take you both on for a trial period. You won't be full members of the Guild until you each slay ten slimes on your own, but we won't have you go down in the caves until you've had some training."

    "No shit," Gil muttered, but when Sam met his gaze, he was smiling.

    Summary

    There were a lot of reasons for Hadley to leave Zuzu City — her dead-end job, her shit-hole apartment, and the rising cost of everything. But her failed engagement was the last straw that had her finally pulling out the envelope her grandfather left her. She’d known for years that it included the deed for his old farm, but finally breaking the seal and pulling it out filled her chest with a deep ache. A note with her grandfather’s familiar handwriting fell out with it.

    If you’re reading this, you must be in dire need of a change.

    Hadley had snorted reading that. It was like her grandfather had predicted that one day she’d wake up and find her life in shambles and need a way out.

    I’ve enclosed the deed to that place… my pride and joy: Aurora Ridge Farm. It’s located in Stardew Valley, on the southern coast. It’s the perfect place to start your new life.

    Hadley’s bags were packed that night.

    ----

    In which our farmer moves to town and Sam immediately tells all of his friends that he's met his future wife. But when Seb finally meets the girl his friend can't stop talking about, his entire world comes crashing to the ground.
