Bewitched (Wizard | Magnus Rasmodius)

TAGS: Wizard/F!reader, married sex, fluff, smut, simping, oneshot Ao3 ver. | Ko-fi | Commissions (OPEN)

“Mere words can never express how much joy you’ve brought into my life from the moment I met you…And to finally become one with you in the hopes of conceiving a miracle of love is almost too much for this old magi’s heart to bear…”

Magnus has lived…for a VERY long time.

So long, in fact, that he’d long forgotten even the name he was bestowed with upon his birth. 

He’d lived through countless wars and watched again and again as humanity sunk into the deepest pits of depravity and despair before picking itself back up. There’s not much he had yet to see or experience after millennia of existence.

However, that all changed the moment you arrived in Stardew Valley, particularly Pelican Town. As the valley’s designated protector, he knew all the secrets within his territory, and especially the people that went in and out of it.

So, with the arrival of a new farmer who would take up the mantle of her deceased grandfather, someone he’d also come to respect and was good acquaintances with, Magnus had high hopes for you.

Now, if only he knew just how you’d so easily bewitch him with whatever magics you seemed to hide beneath your facade of innocence.

Despite having lived for so long and having experienced being married once before, none of his past experiences could ever prepare him for the force that is simply YOU.

Magnus feels like a young, inexperienced boy all over again as he offers you an extra life elixir he ‘accidentally’ made while brewing an order. His traitorous heart kept beating like a drum as his fingers brushed against yours.

Internally, he chastises himself for behaving in such a way that was unbecoming of a master magic user, especially towards his own (technically) apprentice and friend. 

But his carefully crafted walls all crumble to dust when you bless him with such a warm and genuine smile that has his knees practically buckling beneath him and heat crawling all the way to the tips of his ears.

The day you presented him with a mermaid pendant was the best day of his life because it made him feel like everything he’d gone through, the countless years he’d spent alone and wallowing in his own pity, was worth it. 

Despite having spent three days with barely any sleep to take care of all the preparations for your wedding, Magnus would do it all over again just to marry you. 

The lively ceremony itself isn’t what he looked forward to the most, but having your short nails leaving faint red scratches on his back as you broke in your new marriage bed certainly is.

You looked like a nymph sent straight from the heavens with your hair spread across the pillows and your moans, the sweetest symphony to his ears alongside the erotic squelch of your pussy each time he pushed himself into you as deep as he could go.

[studentinpursuitofclouds]

How would Magnus and Marlon, being sort of mentor figures, respond if the farmer admitted to not taking care of themself simply because farmer doesn’t care about their health? They routinely pass out from exhaustion and admit it’s because they don’t care enough to get back to bed. And don’t eat except for an occasional cave carrot in the mines. Very obviously not hydrating (the only drinks in SDV are mayo, tea, and coffee). They also preform dangerous acts just for money.

Bonus if there’s a Magnus reaction for his S/O farmer.

Oooh, the angst one! Sure thing 😊 Thanks for you ask! 💕

⚠️ Warning: self-neglect

_________________________________________

"......"

"...Kid, you need help."

Both Marlon and Magnus don't know how they should react to such a statement from their friend and student. Total incomprehension, sadness at Farmer's condition, anger at Farmer for allowing themself to be treated like that.... and anger at themselves for not noticing Farmer's problem earlier.

But on the other hand - what can they do? Farmer clearly has mental health problems, and that's a problem beyond the comprehension of a one-eyed adventurer and wizard. Especially since Farmer was an adult, and made this decision on their own. But still, they couldn't let it go...

Marlon is very attached to his young member of the Guild, so he will try to find out their reason for such irresponsible attitude to their health and help to the best of his ability. But if Farmer will not listen to him... Well, Marlon is seriously considering temporarily suspending Farmer from their duties as an adventurer. The decision hasn't been made yet, but the Guild leader is consulting with the same Magnus and Gil.

No, he doesn't want to expel and banish Farmer, but this... it's not normal. Their mental instability, which affects their physical health as well, could fail them at the worst possible moment. Too weak to hold a sword and be killed by a monster's claws, faint in the middle of a battle or far from civilisation where no one can help you, starvation... Not to mention the fact that they might thus let down their colleagues or the people they have agreed to accompany on adventures.

A harsh but necessary decision. The old adventurer himself will keep an eye on them, offering a helping hand and asking the locals how Farmer is doing. But Marlon also believes that if the Farmer doesn't want help, no one can help them forcibly.

Magnus is of the same opinion as Marlon in terms of restricting Farmer from assignments and magic lessons until they find help for themselves. Naturally, like the one-eyed adventurer himself, the wizard won't just leave his student alone, and will even recommend a therapist from the non-magical world who can help them. In the meantime... Rasmodius will advise them to refrain from all magic and adventure, to focus on their health, both physical and mental.

If Magnus is the Farmer's boyfriend/husband, naturally the wizard will be involved head over heels in solving the problem, because seeing his love in such a state.... It breaks his heart. Things might get to the point where Magnus is seriously considering wondering if someone has cursed Farmer, because.... Drinking mayonnaise and eating half-rotten carrots might be someone's spell as a cruel joke (*cough* A hint of a curse from his ex-wife, the Bitch Witch).

[spongek-squidge]

My farmer’s closest relationships and the vibes of them

Because I love my farmer daughter very much

Maru

Wife wife wife wife

She loves her very much

Very dog/dog type relationship

Like, Squid (farmer) will find a cool rock and go show Maru said rock and they can spend an entire day getting excited over some rock Squid found lying around

Squid’s a very physical affection type gal so lots of cuddles and kisses anytime Maru’s in view

Really supportive of her goals and is currently helping Maru through uni as she studies engineering (my head canon)

Linus

Spends quite a bit of time just chilling in the forest with him, sometimes they forage together but only during the berry seasons

Will show off any good quality foragables she finds to him, she trusts his judgement on anything natural

Frequently tells him all the town gossip because she knows he won’t tell and she would not be able to keep it a secret if she didn’t tell at least one person

Penny

First best friend in the valley

Squid is an English major so she spends a lot of time gossiping and sharing books with her

Gives her as much positive reassurance as possible (cause she doesn’t really like Pam and knows Penny’s home life sucks)

Has offered for penny to stay with her and Maru if she wants but she’s always refused Lel

Sebastian

Her brother-in-law who she just considers a brother at this point

She loves to annoy him a lot and he does it back

Very much sibling relationship vibes

This also helped bring Sebastian and Maru closer together as siblings so that’s good 👍🏻

She tends to join the D&D type sessions whenever possible cause they’re all nerds (affectionately and also calling myself out)

One of the few people able to get away with being physically affectionate with him Lel

Sam

They have a very childish relationship xD

They became friends when Sam began to insult her and say she dressed like an old man whenever she walked past his house, and they’ve been close ever since

They also see eachother frequently in the D&D sessions

Sam is giving Squid skateboarding lessons in exchange for her to teach him some Spanish (because he wants to be able to speak one of the languages of love ;) )

Noogying all around!

Rasmodius (Wizard)

She’s a pain in the backside to him but alas he’s found himself attached

She considers him a cool magic uncle while he sees her as an annoying child he got stuck with

She’s teaching him the ways of socialising and trying to get him to be less socially constipated. Emphasis on trying, man has not gotten out since he knocked up Caroline by the sounds of it

He appreciates her efforts and is trying his best. In exchange he tries to teach her about magic, which is going about as successfully as her teaching him is going 🤷

Willy

She loves her fisher grandpa man

They often go fishing together and this has bonded them as fishing partners for life

Much like Linus and Mary whenever she finds a cool or particularly impressive fish she is immediately showing it to him

He’s very happy to have a fellow fisher in town and is also glad the younger generation will keep fishing alive :)

Krobus

Squatting in the sewers chatting with Krobus is one of her favourite past times

She spends a lot of time explaining human traditions and society to Krobus while he does the same for his people

She also chewed out the Dwarf after the almost-fight scene happens

The pair just like chilling 🤷

[barkspawn]

harvey needs love!!! how abt farmer trying to get him all hot n bothered in public bc he is all shy and awk in public but gets his revenge when he takes hr home. they cn be dating or married idrc

Oh lord this took a few tries. Google scarred me. btw.

Harvey was a very private man. He knew everyone in town as their doctor and he figured that it was best if that's how it stayed. 

Well, until Amelia came along and decided to make the effort to learn more. They were fast friends, sharing coffee each morning and the occasional drink at the saloon. It wasn't long before he developed feelings for her. Thankfully, the feeling was mutual. 

He talked her into having her annual visit and for the first time in his entire career, he dropped his professionalism thanks to that longing look in her eyes. He had just been standing close and listening to her heart. Their eyes met and, well, the doctor's appointment ended the second their lips touched. 

It certainly ran much longer than an annual physical. 

Ever since, the occasional drink and morning coffee turned into them being completely inseparable. It had been so long since Harvey had a girlfriend that the word felt odd on his tongue. Still, he always kept an air of professionalism when in town or around others. 

Unfortunately for him, Amelia was seeing that as more of a challenge. 

The Stardew Valley fair was today and she planned on flustering the man more than she had before in an attempt to ensure a fun evening. He may be shy out in the town, but he was very much outgoing in private. It was a pleasant surprise. 

He showed up at her house precisely an hour before they were meant to go to the fair. Judging by the hungry kiss she'd earned just for opening the door in only her pajama bottoms and a thin tank top, her plan today was going to be more fun and a lot easier than she had hoped. 

They walked into the fair, Amelia's eyes widening as she saw just how transformed the entire town square was. Hand-in-hand, they explored, stopping every so often to watch people play some games. She forewent the fortune teller, the entire concept scaring her a little bit. Harvey had gone into the tent, leaving her outside to talk to Rasmodius. Before she knew it, she was setting up her grange display, Harvey tending to a child’s scraped knee. She stepped back to admire her setup, smiling in pride as she stood beside Marnie. 

“Mar, your display looks amazing. That wheel of cheese is incredible,” she praised, already resolving to not even look at the display of fruits and vegetables that she grew displayed as Pierre’s display. 

“Thank you, Amelia. It's always a lot of fun to set up,” she sighed, a small smile playing on her lips, “and given that all of these people from out of town don't know any better, they try to buy the things in the display after the winner is announced.”

Amelia laughed, the older woman shifting a little closer to speak in a lower voice, “so you and Dr. Harvey seem to be getting on well, hmm?”

Amelia couldn't help but smile and look over toward the man, who was praising the child for being so brave. 

“Yeah, I think so,” she replied, not worrying about her volume. It wasn't a secret. 

“Do you love him?”

Amelia almost convinced herself that she definitely misheard the woman. After a moment, she laughed, a little awkwardly. 

“We've only been dating for a season… And besides, I'm not even sure I'd know if it was that instead of… Well, infatuation.” 

Marnie touched her arm, smiling at Amelia, “you'll be able to tell.”

Amelia gave her thanks, turning as Harvey made his way back to her side. His smile was a little wider as he returned, bending and pressing a short, sweet kiss to her lips.

She hummed in surprise, not used to experiencing any form of public affection. She smiled brightly as both of his hands held hers, “Doctor Harvey! Kissing your girlfriend in public, what's gotten into you?” she teased, knowing that sometimes she would use the doctor title to tease him with various effects. 

Maybe her little mission would be easier than she thought. 

“Sorry, dear,” he laughed, brushing some loose strands of hair behind her ear, “just having a good day I guess.”

She shook her head, feigning surprise, teasing like she was reading a headline, “doctor finds his day getting better with every skinned knee.”

His eyebrows shot up, “oh, Yoba, no, that is what it seemed like, isn't it?” he let out an embarrassed laugh, “I just had a good fortune reading,” he slipped his hand into hers before starting to walk again, “I promise I'm not that bad.”

Bingo. 

She stood on her toes, her lips right against his ear as she teased, “you certainly could be.” she pressed a kiss where his jaw met his ear before smiling innocently up at him. She was pleased to find his face a lovely crimson. He looked shocked, though she swore there was something behind that expression. Finally, he cleared his throat and laughed, the sound a little shaken as they walked toward the food. 

“I have no idea what I'm going to do with you,” he sighed, teasing before squeezing her hand, “and I'm on to you.”

She grinned, almost too excited by her terrible jokes (that hopefully wouldn't be jokes for long).

She rests her head on his shoulder, her voice only low enough for him to hear though her expression stays innocent, “I know exactly what to do with you and it does involve being on one another, I guess. I was mainly thinking of me being on yo–”

“Amelia,” he cut her off, his voice a mix of stern and pleading, a laugh still behind it, “you know that my… resilience is not as strong as yours.”

He was still joking, which was a good sign. And it was very true. When they first kissed, it was almost primal. They were both starved for touch and couldn't get enough. She worried at first that was the only reason they went as far as they did that day in the exam room. She had never felt that way when it came to sex. It turns out the need for touch only partially grazed the surface. They really just needed someone to be there with them and for them. The sex was an added bonus. 

He wasn't necessarily super strong, but she was small enough to where, with a wall, he could hold her up, losing himself in her, literally and figuratively. Still, at this point, anywhere in the farmhouse was fair game. 

She smirked to herself, shaking her head. It was all like she was back in her early 20s and reliving the puppy love of her previous relationships.

Though this was different. Deeper. 

Was Marnie right?

She shook off the thought and looked up at Harvey, who then shifted his arm around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head. 

“Wow, that fortune teller really said something to make you affectionate, huh?” she teased, her arm moving around his waist, her thumb slipping under his shirt subtly, touching the bare skin beneath and hooking into the waistband of his pants. She felt him tense before they approached the grills, pulling apart to get some burgers and exchange pleasantries with Elliott and Gus. Once they had their plates, she walked him to a picnic table that had one of those cheap plastic tablecloths on it. He gave her a curious look, smirking as she smiled innocently across the table at him. 

“Why are you staring at me like that?” she teased, adjusting her sundress before leaning forward on the table, leaving him with a direct view of her cleavage, which he couldn't deny looking. 

“Tell me, dear,” he looked back up to meet her eyes, “are you trying to,” he cleared his throat, shifting a little as someone from out of town sat at the other end of the table, “...embarrass me?”

She laughed aloud before pulling out her phone and quickly typing out a text to him, his eyebrow rising curiously:

Amelia 1:34 pm: I'm just trying to give you some hints about what I plan to do to you when we get home.

Amelia 1:34 pm: oh, and one more quick hint, dear

Amelia 1:35 pm: I'm not wearing anything at all under my dress. 😘

She hit send and placed her phone on the table, unable to hide her smile as she watched him pull his phone out. She took a bite of her burger, watching as he took his phone out and froze, reading her texts. After a long moment, he looked back up at her, eyes wide and cheeks burning. 

She took advantage of his stunned silence, licking her lower lip and running her thumb over it as if she was wiping away crumbs. 

Harvey shifted, leaning forward and leaning on his elbows so he could talk, his voice low, “message received loud and clear,” he watched as she laughed, her smile full of mischief as she leaned in so they were barely a foot apart, his whisper almost pleading, “now please behave. I’d rather the whole town not catch me like this.”

“Why, are you hard?” Her voice was a purr as she refused to take her eyes from his. 

Harvey pulled back and looked around, worried someone might have heard. He laughed a breathy laugh, trying to play it off as if he was not flustered at all, “Amelia, what has gotten into you?”

She lifted her burger to take another bite, humming out her answer before doing so, “I was hoping you would.”

Harvey nearly choked on his drink, which he really should have known better than to take a drink right now. She stood and feigned worry, “Harv, are you alright?” he had his hand on his chest, clearing his throat before looking up at her suspiciously as she continued, “do we need to go get your inhaler from the clinic?” 

She watched as his expression changed, his eyes narrowing, “I absolutely do,” his voice was laced with the tension she had built. Somehow, his voice seemed to have the effect on her that she had on him. 

He leaned forward as if he were picking something up, using her to hide the fact that he even had to adjust himself. He stood, standing close before bending to press a small, firm kiss to her forehead. 

“Everything I need is in exam room one,” he commented, back to his nice-town-doctor facade, “or it's about to be.”

You open the well-worn journal. the cardboard front-cover is severely faded. the yellowed pages protest as you open it up. the first page is blank but the second page is filled with cramped cursive handwriting.

Winter 20, Year Two

I really don't know what to put in here. I found this journal in my mailbox this morning, with no real explanation.

So I guess I'll start at the beginning.

I came to Stardew Valley almost two years ago now. I guess I would say my life back in Zuzu city was a comfortable one. After graduating college with a bachelors degree in botany, I got a job as a bartender at a club near my apartment. my apartment was small, but I liked it enough.

It always felt like something was missing, though. When my grandfather Uranos died and left the farm in my name, I decided it was worth a shot. I might as well use my bachelors degree for something.

Life here is good. I quickly became friends with Linus and Rasmodius. Linus has always been nice to me, and I know Rasmodius cares, even though he doesn't show it much. I don't often have time to visit them anymore, but I try to visit them when I have time.

The farm is doing well, and the community center is slowly getting restored. The fish tank and bulletin board have been giving me some trouble though. I've made it to the bottom of the mines and am trying to get to level 25 of skull caverns for Qi. My animals are doing well, I have two chickens named Helen and Hypnos, a duck named Hector, a cow named Helios, and a goat named Pan. I don't worry about money for the most part and I redecorated my cabin recently. I like how it looks.

Other than Rasmodius and Linus, I've been getting closer with some of the townspeople. Abigail is slowly becoming one of my best friends along with Alex, I've come to learn that George is not as mean as he makes himself out to be, Pam really cares about the town when she's not drunk, Emily is very caring and kind, Leah is super talented, Harvey is shy, but cares a lot about the well being of everyone, and Maru is probably the smartest person out of everyone in town.

Shane is the only one I have yet to figure out. Even though I give him tons of gifts and he seems to like them, he still acts so mean to me. He doesn't make any sense. I know there's a sweet side of him down there somewhere.

Regardless, I feel more at home here than I have ever felt.

I think I can really make a life for myself here.

-D.O.

You close the journal delicately and place it in the backpack you brought. You could read more, but it's getting dark and you should head back to Pierre's, where you've been staying for the time being. You'll read more later.

Farmer Braindump

Featuring Farmer Kali!

Pre-Valley

She/Her pronouns.

26

Aroace and very, very sex-repulsed

Inherited Aedaris Farm from her grandfather (William Delmuth) and godfather (Kenny Oloren)

Lived with her older brother Quinn before he got a job at a hospital in Zuzu City

Started college with the intentions of also becoming a doctor. Had to take a gap year because of stress, then tried college again.

Met Sour Patch in a biology class and Sour Patch tried to help her with stress management/tutoring but Kali eventually just dropped out because it was too overwhelming

Moved in with Aster when she started college, and invited Sour Patch to live with them (with Aster's agreement of course) partway through college.

Aster got her a job at Joja during the gap year, but Kali moved around departments pretty frequently for about another two years before she had a more stable place in the company.

Her parents are both dead - her father from heart complications and her mother from grief not long after.

Has always been quiet, but likes making friends and talking with others.

Valley-Life

Is a social butterfly and while Sour Patch needed no encouragement to socialize, was the one to drag Aster off the farm to meet at least a few people

Gravitates to and adjusts quicker to the more magical or strange aspects of the valley

Befriends Rasmodius very quickly and is determined to get him to teach her more magic

Makes friends with Harvey and Maru only because in the beginning if her stay at the valley she had to visit the clinic many, many times. And because she visits the Saloon to socialize a lot, she befriends Gus and Emily pretty quickly too - though tends to avoid Shane and Pam.

Is really only friends with Elliott because of Aster - she'd still be cool with him, but it'd be more of an acquaintance if Aster wasn't interested in him

Linus and Krobus are her best friends.

Kinda befriending Dwarf.

Not a fan of Clint or Lewis - Clint gives her the creeps and resurfaces way too many memories of "nice guys" not accepting no as an answer. Aftermath Emily's clothing therapy really cemented her dislike of him.

She found Lewis' gold statue of himself. She has run into him multiple times collecting taxes that don't seem to go towards the community. She was not happy.

His treatment of Marnie really only added salt to the wound that was her distaste.

Ends up asking Krobus to move in with her - but does not tell Aster or Sour Patch. No, she doesn't know how that happened - especially with Sour Patch's curiosity.

Honestly Kali thought they knew and didn't think it had to be said. She learns that Sour Patch only met Krobus a few times and Aster had never met him.

Loves combat and mining! Often she has to be dragged out of the caves because she passes out in there or she's just having too much fun exploring.

If she's not in the mines, she's hanging around the Adventurer's Guild

Accidentally makes it the base for anything related to the "Break up Marnie and Lewis" agenda after discovering Marlon has a crush on Marnie

LOVES the slime hutch and slime breeding. She names every slime.

Feeds into Sour Patch's hoarding tendencies by collecting weapons. But it's fine - she has fun showing off the collection and refusing to elaborate which ones she's used when

Marlon doesn't understand why she doesn't sell any of them but eventually just accepts it.

Once she gets the geode crusher, never visits Clint again. Sour Patch gets her tools upgraded for her.

Her favorite hat is the skeleton mask

She met Leo for the first time with it on and she scared him. She still feels terrible about it and gives him ALL the duck feathers as an apology

[lea-andres]

I'm gonna continue braindumping about my expanding the Witch into a whole character because I love her so much. 💕

- Morgan Rasmodius refuses to go back to her maiden name post divorce pretty much just to annoy the Wizard. And since they're both M. Rasmodius, he's forced to sign his letters "M. Rasmodius, Wizard" so you can tell them apart lmao.

- She's actually quite chill when you get to know her (see Disney's Merlin for my inspiration) she's just understandably pissed the Wizard cheated on her.

-She's also quite pissed at the "Wizard's child" rumors (I decided there isn't actually one to make this funnier lmao, so no it's not Abigail. Which is honestly for the best in her case.) and take shots at anyone mathematically young enough to be the Wizard's offspring. Which is *checks notes* All the bachelors, all the bachelorettes, Vincent, Jas, Leo (once he moves to town), and any present Farmers/Players! "But Lea, there's no way [character] could be it!" Tell Morgan, not me! She sees a youngster and just opens fire lmao.

-She doesn't like Caroline, Jodi, Robin, Pam, and Marnie either. Did the Wizard sleep with all or some of them? Probably, IDK IDC, let's just open fire on them anyway.

-She also fires at Linus too on occasion but that's just because he talks to the Wizard sometimes and she doesn't want the Wizard to have friends. 😭

-She tried to fire at Marlon for the same reason exactly once. BIG MISTAKE.

- The Wizard eventually takes on Emily as an apprentice in my fic, she smoothes over the whole child thing (after Morgan makes a couple attempts on her life lmao)

-After that it just turns into "divorced parents competing to be their child's favorite" energy as they're fighting over who is Emily's mentor lmao.

-Meanwhile Emily likes and wants to learn from both of them so this goes nowhere fast.

send a " ⭐ " and i will list muses i would be interested in throwing at yours. / @rotinthedark

see you get the easy answer because i only have 3 stardew muses! i actually worked a bit on their pages today wahoo!

krobus, obviously. i can't imagine seb wouldn't be happy to have a literal magic friend and seb is really nonjudgemental. also they're pretty similar, feeling neglected in a dark underground space.....am i reading too much into this? i dont know. they should go to the movies together. krobus would be terrified of the motorcycle.

lou is a genderless wizard who got kicked out of wizard world for Crimes and Challenging authority and is now in the valley. i dont know how else i can advertise them to you, mr-sebastian-who-always-picks-the-wizard-in-d&d-and-loves-to-challenge-authority. i think you'd think they're cool, mister! also another case of "both exiled (loosely for seb, work with me here) from family unit and feeling alone and depressed" except lou decided to grow blueberries about it and seb is smoking weed about it. lou didn't get along with their wizard family and disagrees with rasmodius frequently; seb doesnt get along with his family and disagrees with demetrius frequently. long story short, they're interesting as a duo because seb wants to leave the valley but learns to appreciate it in different ways, and lou was sent to the valley as actual prison, but learned to appreciate it in their own way. i think they could get along! or hate each other due to being too similar. also seb being the only one to notice the weird shit that goes on at the farm down the road at night but no one believes him when he tries to bring it up. rip. there was a flying cow guys. really.

i havent fully fleshed out fen yet, but tldr shes a sister of the mermaid who performs in the night market, and she ends up going ashore little mermaid style due to her interest in humanity. and becomes a villager you can unlock on the secret beach, learning to bond with the other villagers and become a part of the valley. though she's very vain and self absorbed and sings all the time, so sebastian may not like her very much, but if you think an antagonistic relationship would be fun for him, then by all means! bonus for more gaslighting for poor seb: "guys there is a girl with blue hair on the beach at night. NO i wasn't high i swear to god-"

and of course if you wanted any other non stardew muses, we can also plot with them, no worries <3 youre the best!

“Merrrp.”

I groan. Feeling something fluffy tickle my nose, I crinkle it and reach to the source.

Opening my groggy eyes, I’m met by Cannoli sniffing around in front of my face. I stretch my arms up a bit, then snuggle the cat close to me, closing my eyes again as he situates himself as my little spoon.

A few heartbeats go by before my eyes snap back open.

This isn’t my bed.

This is Magnus’ bed.

This isn’t my bed and Cannoli is in it with me.

Why would Magnus have grabbed Cannoli and brought him here… unless he heard everything I was thinking—

Oh fuck.

With Cannoli still in my arms, I sit up, situating him onto my lap. We both do a quick scan around the room. We’re alone. My phone is next to me, and the little window behind me is dark. It’s been fairly dim all day, with this strangely timed autumn storm going on, but it’s dark now. Must be nighttime.

I do a double take at the nightstand when I notice more than just the purple lamp on it. The dim light source is now accompanied by a small piece of paper and a glass of water. I shimmy over to reach them — this bed is so big oh my lord — and pick up the water, taking a sip while I grab the note too. 

In Magnus’ typically neat cursive and black ink, it reads:

“Good morning(?), (y/n).

I’ve gone to the basement to work. I apologize for not waking you, but I did not want to disturb your slumber. You seemed in dire need of it.

You’ve likely figured out by now, as your little friend is somewhere in my quarters with you, that I heard some of your anxious thoughts this afternoon. As I’ve said in the past; sometimes they’re too loud for me not to hear. I truly do my best to refrain from psychic intrusion, alas… shit happens, as you might say. :) I hope I did not overstep by retrieving him for you.” 

I hate how, despite the dread brewing in me, my lips curl up softly.

“I couldn’t keep this information to myself in good conscience, given the contents of your mind, and assumed the best way to make it up to you — for now, at least — would be to abide by your earlier wants. I only pray he doesn’t excrete in any way during his visit…”

I look at the gray feline in my lap, and he looks up at me. 

He meows.

…Can’t promise anything. Sorry, wiz.

“Whenever you’re ready, feel free to either come see me or head home. I could teleport you to your farm as well, if that would be more apt. If you choose to stay, we need not discuss anything you don’t want to. 

Please take all the time you need up there. Your comfort is my greatest desire at the moment.”

My tummy does a flip at Magnus’ concern. 

Almost immediately after, I feel sick.

He didn’t deny any of my worries. I wonder if I was right, if we are soulmates, but he just didn’t want to tell me because of how I reacted to the information. Can’t exactly blame the dude for that. Could never imagine how it feels to be alive for centuries, searching for “the one,” and finding her only once – possibly twice, now – in all that time, just for neither instance to work out. 

At least… not yet? I don’t know what to do with this info.

Polyamory seemed to be at least somewhat on the table for Seb, and the more I think about what’s going on – about Magnus himself – I kinda feel warmer to it. But, having the spirits fucking around with it will put a huge wrench in things, if I had to guess. 

Likewise, I love Seb with all my heart. I don’t want to or have intentions to leave him, at least in the near future. 

But if I’m falling this hard, this fast, for someone who the universe is maybe quite literally shoving me to, I don’t know how much of a choice I’ll have in the matter… Especially given what Magnus said, about the spirits trying harder each time and with growing proximity. 

At this point, keeping things totally platonic only seems less doable.

…Which means my only options would be to completely avoid Magnus until further notice, which I don’t want to do, or possibly leave Seb, which I also don’t want to do, obviously. Neither option is fair for anyone involved, either. 

I keep having to remind myself that I don’t even fucking know if this Big Theory of mine is true or not… not like doing that eases my anxiety about it at all.

Without noticing, I’d started crying all over Cannoli; he’s rubbing his little head on my sweater, trying to get the tears off his fur. I lay down again, pulling him close to my belly. Then I pick up my phone. The only notification is for some texts from Seb:

Sebastian > i drank water with my coffee and got food from Gus

Sebastian > praise me 

Through sniffles, I laugh out loud at his blunt message and reply:

< LETS FUCKING GOOOO YOU DID SO GOOD BABY

< sorry i didn’t see this sooner

< rough day

Almost immediately, Seb answers back.

Sebastian > you alright?

< no lol

< pls don’t worry about it though. I promise i’ll fill you in some other time

Sebastian > already worried, but i gotcha 

Sebastian > got some more work to do, but call me if you need anything 🖤

< thank u, will do 🖤

I feel like a wretched beast right now. A creature who doesn’t deserve any of the love or care I’m receiving from anyone. I’m caught in the middle of a weird situation and I don’t like it.

After drinking some more water, I creep across the hallway to borrow Magnus’ bathroom. Similarly to my own, his doesn’t really match the rest of the house. There are hints at his aesthetic — such as a small hanging plant in the shower — but nothing major. 

Tiles resembling those that are in the displayed grimoire room make up the floor, while similarly crystalline white tiles line the walls. His crinkled, half-opened shower curtain appears to be a plain sky blue. The bath mat is white and seems to be very soft from the looks of it.

If I had to guess based on its color and shape, the bar of soap that sits on Magnus’ porcelain sink is homemade. I pick it up to take a curious sniff. Very citrusy and a tad earthy... For some reason I thought Magnus would be more into floral scents, but this makes more sense, given how he himself tends to smell.

Now that I’m done investigating, I splash some cold water on my face. Wanna get the puffiness from sleep and crying outta my eyes, and hopefully rid myself of this groggy post-nap breath while I’m at it. I peek at my disheveled appearance in the mirror before me. My mascara is looking real crunchy... It’s waterproof, but it isn’t immune to being rubbed around a bunch, that’s for sure.

Cannoli joins me while I’m trying to at least fix my hair a little bit and begins peeing in the bathtub. Great. At least I can easily wash that away.

“If you shit here, I’ll be so upset with you,” I grumble. 

Cannoli meows at me as he continues his piss, staring me in the eyes the entire time.

After he hops out, I quickly spray down the afflicted area with the shower head and pick the cat up. Hugging him close and peppering the space between his ears with kisses, I bravely make my way downstairs. 

I wanna get the little guy home before he causes any more trouble, so I’ve decided to take up Magnus’ offer to teleport me. Dunno if I trust Cannoli to stay in my arms the whole way on foot. Assuming the wizard teleported to my house and back to grab the cat, I hope the lil’ guy can handle more arcane travel.

I tread quietly down to the basement, not wanting to interrupt any important spells or whatever. Ignoring the fact that he might have already sensed that I’m awake, maybe even heard me spiraling some more from down here. If that didn’t give me away, a hearty meow from Cannoli just as I enter the doorframe to the basement sure does.

“Shut up, oh my god,” I whisper to the little man.

When I look up, Magnus is at the far end of the hallway. There’s a book open in his hand, but he’s looking at me, shock clear on his face before he beams one of his award-winning grins. 

I wonder if he was expecting me to just leave without a word… I feel my shoulders drop at the thought, but I mentally shake it from my head.

When I get closer, I offer a weak smile, and an even weaker “Hey.” Magnus parrots me. I furrow my brows. “Sounds weird hearing you say ‘Hey,’ instead of ‘Hello,’ or ‘Greetings, weak mortal,’ or something.”

He chuckles, closing his book and returning it to the shelf. “In what situation have I said the latter in your presence?”

“Never,” I shrug, “But you probably think it a lot.”

“Ah, yes. How could I have forgotten how lowly I think your people are?” Magnus glares down at me with a cheeky smugness, arms crossed and everything… Makes me feel funny.

I look at the cat in my arms with tingly pink cheeks and hold him closer to my face. When he looks back, I start mumbling, “You heard the mean man, right Cannoli?” 

My fuzzy court witness. 

From my lowered head, and while Cannoli chirps in response, I playfully glare up at the wizard. Earns me more of a giggle than his usual proper laughs.

“He understands what you say, you know.”

Scratching beneath Cannoli’s chin and bringing my head upright again, I tilt it in confusion. “What?”

“That potion – the one you had, er… an adverse reaction to – may have granted you the ability to communicate with other beings, to an extent.”

“No fucking way.” I look at the cat. “Meow twice if you understand me.” Cannoli meows once. I stare (e/c) daggers at The Liar again. “You scoundrel.”

“‘Scoundrel?’ You’re beginning to sound like me.”

Repositioning the cat in my arms a bit, I lean on the bookshelf next to me. “Yeah, don’t get used to it,” I roll my eyes through a grin.

A short silence passes before either of us speak up. We both try to in unison. “Sorry,” we, again, say simultaneously. 

“You go ahead,” Magnus mutters softly. 

“Um… I was hoping you could maybe teleport Cannoli and I home?” Noticing periwinkle-colored worry in the wizard’s eyes, I continue. “I do want to talk about… y’know.” I sigh deeply. “Get another existential conversation out of the way.” I lower my gaze to the cat. “He’s getting antsy, though. Peed in your bathtub.” 

Magnus looks relieved by my answer, but then realization sets in. “Shit.”

I briefly take note of how, in the short few weeks I’ve known him, Magnus went from hardly cursing around me at all to saying a swear at least once a day (around me, at least). I wonder if I did that to him.

“I washed it away, and I don’t think he did it anywhere else,” I reassure him. “I just don’t want him to do any more than that.” I wince this time.

With a soft smile at the creature in my arms, Magnus nods. “Fair enough. Come on,” he invites me, holding out his palm. 

Before taking it, I reposition Cannoli so he’s safely cradled in one arm. Magnus places a gentle hand on the cat’s head. Once we’re situated, the elemental offers me a quiet “Ready?” 

I nod, look down, and clench my eyes shut while he brings us to my house. I know I don’t need to shut them every time, but I feel like I’d be too freaked by whatever teleporting looks like. 

Magnus gives my hand a squeeze to indicate that we’ve arrived, and I shoot him a thankful smile. When Cannoli decides not to scurry away, I keep him held close to me for comfort.

“Um…” I look around, feeling sheepish about how shabby and vaguely mismatched my home is. “We could stay here, if you want. I know my house kinda blows, but, uh…” I trail off.

Shaking his head, Magnus comforts me with a laugh. “Your home is lovely, (y/n).” He looks around a little and adds, “In fact, I quite like what you’ve done with it.”

What? I haven’t changed anything about it in the past, like, two days since he was last here.

“What do you mean?” 

“Ah, that has yet to come up, I suppose,” he murmurs more to himself than to me. “Your grandfather was a dear friend of mine. I had spent plenty of time on this farm over the span of his late life.”

My brows raise and eyes widen. “Whoa, seriously?” 

“Indeed,” he nods. He looks proud of himself. “He had a great connection to the valley and the arcane, just as you do.”

That’s so cool to think about. Just Grandpa and Magnus shootin’ the shit at that rickety little table in the corner. Maybe discussing magic and farming and junimos and whatever. After a sec, though, a creepy thought invades me.

“Wait. We didn’t, like, meet when I was a kid, did we?” 

“No,” Magnus’ eyes widen before his cheeks and eyes flush. “No,” he shakes his head, repeating himself. “He was very secretive of our friendship, just as I’d requested. I barely knew a soul in town then, aside from himself, Marlon and Linus.”

“Thank god,” I mumble under my breath, looking down at Cannoli. 

My feelings would have been made a lot more complicated if I’d been pining for somebody who knew me when I was that young. Super gross.

Realizing we’re still just standing in the middle of the room, I ask Magnus if he wants anything to drink, or whatever. “I’ve got tea, coffee, water,” I think about the fact that there are some taller cabinets here I’ve never opened, even while climbing, because… short. “Um, I’ve probably got some old wine or something hidden in there somewhere,” I add, nodding towards the kitchen.

“I’m alright, but I appreciate the offer.” 

“Sick, no problem.” I feel sooo fuckin’ awkward. “Uh, we can sit at the table, or my bed, or, like, outside…? Wait, no. Not there.” It’s raining you dumbass, I think to myself. I add on in a whisper, “I’m not sure why this feels so formal but I don’t know what to do and I am so sorry.”

Laughing, Magnus puts a hand on my head. I look down at Cannoli, feeling my face turn crimson. “Relax, my dear,” he whispers. 

His voice was low, and there was something silky about the way he spoke. And, like… suddenly, I am relaxed. 

He just soothed my nerves with a head pat and three dumb words. 

“The fuck did you just do?” I prod, assuming he casted a spell on me or some shit.

Genuinely confused, the tall man tilts his head. “What do you mean?” 

“I…” I scan his face for a second.

Oh. 

He’s serious.

So he actually just has that effect on me, I guess. 

Cool. Great. 

COOL. 

“Nevermind,” I mumble, shaking my head. Using Cannoli as a stim, I play with the fur behind his ears. 

Taking initiative, since I fuckin’ can’t apparently, Magnus moves to sit at the table. I follow suit, and somehow Cannoli is still content in my hug. He must sense how much I need him. 

I pull my chair over a bit so it’s closer to my guest’s before popping a squat. Neither of us say anything for a moment. I purse my lips, avoiding Magnus’ eyes. Fuck. I’m nervous again. 

“I… I believe you may have been correct. Let’s start there.”

Magnus doesn’t say what I might’ve been right about, but I know exactly what he means as my heart drops to my stomach. 

“There’s no way of knowing for certain, but just as I was nearly positive about my bind with Marie…” I’m assuming that’s the last soulma— a previous version of me that he met, oh my god??? “...I’m even more so sure that I’ve the same connection with you.” 

I nod, slow. Exhaling, also slow. My head is spinning and my heart is racing and thoughts of both Magnus and Seb are flooding my head and I don’t like this. I thought I just had a stupid schoolgirl-ass crush on this guy, and it turns out we’re legitimately made for each other?

“I’m so, so sorry, (y/n). I’m aware that isn’t what you wanted to hear.”

Something in my heart breaks hearing the earnesty in Magnus’ whispers. My head snaps towards him, my brows upturned. He’s not looking at me, but his irises are a deep blue. 

“Magnus,” I sigh, and take a second to gather my thoughts. “You don’t need to be sorry for anything. I can’t imagine this being any less hard or strange for you than it is for me.” My eyes zigzag his face before I continue. “S’probably worse for you actually, considering how long you’ve been looking for… uh…” I swallow harshly. “For me...” The last two words come out as a meek whisper.

Magnus sighs, meeting my eyes. As he begins explaining more, he sounds solemn. 

“I had always been rather adverse to romance. For a long, long time, I’ve found it difficult to commune with potential partners in that way. Many had become disinterested once they learned of my dedication to my work, while others simply used me for petty means,” he says matter-of-factly. “My services, such as potions and teleportation. Protection from other elemental beings. Sex.” 

I blush at the last part. I wonder how many partners he’s had, aside from his ex-wife and Caroline. Dude’s probably a pro by now…

“What I am trying to tell you is that I’m more than familiar with solitude. By no means do I want to put pressure on you to have any association with me, if that isn’t what you desire, (y/n).” His eyes shift to their natural, red wine-esque color, as he becomes more determined to say what he needs to. “But… even then, I cannot help but feel hopeful.”

At a loss for words, I bring my feet onto the chair below me and tuck my knees to myself, strategically avoiding squishing Cannoli. Trying to find solace via curling into a ball where I sit.

“Oh! Um.” Magnus clears his throat. “Y-your skirt, my dear…”

…Juuust perfect.

After my brain buffers for a solid few seconds, I put my legs back down at the speed of fucking light. My eyes are bulging as I stare blankly ahead. Cannoli, annoyed with the frequently  changing terrain, ditches me, so I move on to fiddle with the hem of my skirt in place of his fur.

“Magnus I am so sorry.”

He exhales a breathy laugh. “It’s… y-you’re fine.” Then, his chuckles turn heartier. 

It’s contagious. I’m still terrified of the situation at hand, and mortified that I just flashed him by accident after he essentially confessed that he’s falling for me in the same weird and almost nonconsensual way I am for him. But the timing of that could not have been any worse and it’s somehow hilarious. 

I bury my face in my hands and lean my elbows to my knees, muffling the sounds escaping me.

“God fucking damnit,” I whine through my fingers.

My face is just as red as the wizard’s, and we’re both in a fit of giggles now. The fact that we’re laughing so hard over something so fucking stupid, during such a genuinely serious and life-changing discussion, is at least pretty comforting in its own way.

Cheeks and abs on fire, I stand up and walk to the dresser. “I’m, uh, I’m gonna change,” I announce to him through near-tears. 

“Right there?” he teases.

I lean my head on the wardrobe for support as my chest shakes from flustered laughter. “No yeah, totally!” I sarcastically proclaim, “After nearly dying on the spot because I bared my whole ass to you, I’m gonna strip too. No better timing!” 

After I grab the first pair of pants I see — my gray sweats are the lucky winner — I scurry off to the bathroom and quickly swap out my bottoms.

Before I come back, I grab some water for us both. I know Magnus said he didn’t want anything, but like, just in case he changes his mind he’ll have the option now. When I enter the main room again, Magnus is leaning on the table, his forehead in his hands. 

As I sit down, I less promiscuously hug my knees to myself. I slide Magnus’ emergency-water near him while sipping from mine. When he lifts his vision to look at the cup, and then at me, I choke on my drink, cutting off his ‘thank you.’

Why are his eyes the horny red again?!

“Are you alright?” he asks tentatively, his irises fading back to normal.

“Y-your eyes,” I stop to clear my throat, but don’t bother continuing. He probably knows what I’m talking about.

Taking a minute to answer, Magnus sighs, and finally, carefully defends himself. “Please forgive me.” His eyes flutter shut. “I am very tired, and today has been a fucking whirlwind of emotions.” If he weren’t smiling and blushing a bit, it would sound like he’s mad at me for all this.

“Gotcha,” I grin. A little proud that I’ve accidentally made him all red-eyed again. Soon after, my mood dampens. “Sorry.”

“For what? Need I remind you what you walked in on, when you came into my home this morning?”

“Well, everything. Like obviously for today, but not just today.” 

Picking at my nail polish, a minute or so of silence goes by before I air my dirty laundry. 

“I just don’t know what to do about all this, Magnus. Sebastian and I literally had a conversation about us,” I gesture between my guest and I, “the other night because he picked up on my feelings while we were all together.” 

When I peer over at Magnus, his cheeks and eyes match. Can’t tell if he’s embarrassed that we spoke about him, or if he legitimately didn’t know that I… kinda like him. A lot. Kinda. I wouldn’t be surprised if he thought ‘til now that all I feel is attraction, seeing as it’s something I’m not even used to admitting to myself yet.

“He said he’s fine with me taking interest, but being a little frazzled around you and being soulmates are two completely separate things.” Feeling selfish and crappy, my eyes start to tear up. “I don’t want to hurt either of you, but no matter what, I’m gonna have to.” 

My voice broke a little during my last statement. Fuck, seriously? I was keeling over from laughter a minute ago, and now this is happening.

“Neither of you deserve to be in this situation,” I continue. “You deserve to be happy with your soulmate, but she’s me and I’m in a relationship with someone I really love and he doesn’t even fucking know the severity of this yet!” 

I have to stop to sniffle a bit. Afterwards, I lament, “As far as Seb’s aware, I just have a stupid crush on you, which is already bringing him a bit of insecurity. And as far as we know, I might not even be what you want, and you could just not seek anything with me, which I wouldn’t blame you for. I mean, my heart is in a billion places at once, I’m—”

I wipe my face with my sleeve and pause to try and calm down. Before I can fully, Magnus gets up and kneels in front of me. 

He pulls my hands from my face. Fixes my hair out of my vision, as he does now, apparently. And at last, he gently weaves my fingers into his larger ones, tracing the back of my palm with his thumb. Can’t tell at this point if Magnus knows the slight movements are meant to be comforting, or if it’s a fidget of his. 

His eyes are glossed over, and they’re bluer than sapphires. Was he crying too?

“It’ll be alright,” he murmurs. “I completely understand your stress and frustration, and while I was delighted at the prospect of having finally found you, I’ve no wish to break up a happy relationship.” 

Before I can realize what the fuck I’m even saying, I reply, with full, unanticipated sincerity:

“But I want to be with you.”

[dinoswordsb]

hehehe kicking feet. i have some sdv farmers their names are Salutations Andrews (Go Along Now Homestead), Reginald "Redge" Valle Suarez (Bee N' Oak Ranch), and Denver Pascal. i didn't get very far with him. but. hehe. :3c kicking feet. hbu :3c

Twirling phone cord around my finger I would like to see these guys and Know them 😁

I only have 2 and it's funny bc neither of them are really farmers but we have fun here I have Wren who I made in a game w/ @snapplewapple and they are the estranged child of a couple of joja ceos 😏 their whole deal is they were cursed before they were born a la beauty and the beast bc their parents pissed off a witch so when they get intense emotions they go Beast Mode

They run away from their parents with Clementine(Mikaela's farmer) in their story but they are free to gallivant about with other farmers if I want them to JXJEJF They don't know anything about anything bc they were sheltered and neglected they're truly trying their best also their bachelor is sebastian

And then there is Amadeus ^_^ he is even less of a farmer he's just a stuck up priss of a witch who travels and causes mischief and hexes and curses people whenever he doesn't get his way bc he is childish. He gets stuck in pelican bc he causes umm...a bit of a ruckus(read: blows a fucking hole in the saloon) and Rasmodius strips him of his witch powers until he can learn to be niceys. In the meantime he is trapped on the farm to pay his debt off and also everyone hates him and the farmer(sometimes Clementine sometimes another friends' character) is the only one who can stand to put up with him

In the meantime he tries to take up potion making and astromancy since that magic isn't totally reliant on the user to rub it in rasmodius' face that he will NOT. HAS NOT. NEVER WILL win(he has. Deus sucks)

He gets no spouse bc hes a bitch

[studentinpursuitofclouds]

Hi, how about oblivious farmer? Like half the town is in love with them and they give them hints they don't see. The farmer treats them as good friends and says they want to be friends with them forever lol. It would also be nice to see them compete with each other a bit (Especially Alex vs Sam, because I like them the most. But my character probably won't get involved with anyone because I'm a little afraid of them having kids. Of course I like kids and would be nice having children, but I just i heard that in sdv they are creepy and people turn them into birds, i'm a bit worried…so story almost taken out of my character's life in stardew valley). Sorry for writing so much and have a nice day

Thank you so much for your ask, dear anon!

_________________________________________

Oh Yoba, bless the heart of the oblivious Farmer. And bless the patience of all the bachelors and bachelorettes who are trying their best to make almost obvious hints to win the interest of the young and chaotic Farmer of the whole Valley. But the real chaos began when word got out that Farmer so-and-so didn't mind dating both guys and ladies. That is, the bachelors began their competition for the Farmer's heart, not realizing that the bachelorettes were also determined to win the Farmer for themselves. Moreover, each was for himself, and one individual has to have as many as 11 potential competitors.

Some left the "game" as soon as it started, not believing that they would have any chance (Penny, Shane, Maru and Sebastian), some began to show "aggressive" friendship to Farmer, almost sticking to them like a faithful dog that would bark and cackle at the sight of outsiders (Alex, Abigail Sam), while others did not employ any tactics, considering sincerity and friendship to be the key to winning hearts (Harvey and Emily). Some decided to go for the sly, and with the help of not too damaging friendship and mental health gossip cleverly push the competitors away from Farmer and win themselves over (Haley). And it also happens that some people were so caught up in the battle for young Farmer's heart that they didn't notice how they fell in love with each other (Elliott/Leah).

The married and adult residents of the Valley looked on in total shock. Someone, namely the parents of some of the bachelors (those same Jodi, Robin and Caroline) also tried to hint to Farmer that their son/daughter really liked them. Someone (Lewis) tried to talk sense into the love-crazed youngsters by nagging them to stop their "loving advances". The children (Jas, Vincent, and Leo) looked on with incomprehension, believing it was "just another grown-up fad" that they, alas, could not yet comprehend. How the others (Marnie, Willy, and Gus) laughed heartily at the whole thing, and how George grumbled at home because all that "love cacophony" kept him from watching TV. Also laughing heartily, the old adventurers (Marlon and Gil) genuinely didn't understand how their young Guild member could calculate sophisticated tactics against dangerous monsters, but can't figure out when someone is flirting with them (they even made a bet who would win, just for fun). Rasmodius shook his head and asked the Farmer if they had knocked over the love potion.

What's funny is that in the end the Farmer's choice fell on Krobus. Because they're a sweet, kind, cool monster, and they smell like licorice. Who would have thought that happiness can be found in stinking sewer drains. Although, given that diamonds or gold ore are found in some garbage cans of the residents of Stardew Valley, there is nothing to be surprised at all...

PS: Also yeah, you're right. Sometime, children in this game looks like a nightmare fuel 😅 And the fact than you can rid of them by turning them into pigeon... Oy vey.
