After several posts about Lance as a father, and also after a funny comment from @bored-farmer about The First Slash clan as a babysitters for Lance and the Farmer's child, I decided to write a small... fic? If you can call it.

In this story, I left the child and the Farmer neutral (like son or daughter, and Farmer pronounce what you want), so that it fits the other OCs in any way they want to come up with!

Also, the SVE Wiki doesn't have a similar pronunciation description for Guild members, so I made the classic Edmund, Drake and Gale - he/him, and for Brianna - she/her (simple because it's hard to translate others pronunciations in my language, but feel free to give in your own HC pronunciations that you want!)

Story under the cut! And feel free for feedbacks 😃 (and sorry for mistakes, English is still hard)

Warnings: language

________________________________________

Ah, Fable Reef...

Lonely, small, but still such a beautiful and lively island in the middle of a vast ocean, far from the mainland. Few people know that the headquarters of the famous Guild called The First Slash Clan is located here. For them, this is a very convenient post for protecting the ocean from any impending threat. And they chose a very good place - what a beautiful views from this island, truly admire! A breathtaking sunset, exotic palm trees with growing coconuts, crystal clear water with a huge school of fish around, colorful corals, local fauna in the form of small crabs, crustaceans, mollusks...

"Where is... Where is that brat!? Where? Fuck, fuck, fuck, fucking hell!"

"Language!"

Hmm, yes. These voices are, one might say, another representative of the "fauna" on this island. Namely - the brave members of the Guild mentioned earlier.

"Cursing and shouting won't help the cause, Brianna, - Edmund tried to remain calm and hide his worries in front of his friend and colleague, although in the current situation, it became much more difficult to do this every minute. - Moreover, the child can be nearby and hear all your scolding"

"Believe me, this little asshole still don’t understand shit no matter what am I saying", - Brianna snapped back at Edmund at his moralizing. She did not want to be rude to him, but her nerves began to slowly surrender.

To be honest, the situation was laughably absurd. Losing four-year-old child of Lance and his partner on a small island...

And how did it all start? And it started on Wednesday, everything bad always happened on Wednesday, Brianna thought. It seemed to be an ordinary day, nothing remarkable, nothing foreshadowed trouble. But then she, Drake, Edmund and Gale got an order from Jolyne to watch the Lance's baby for one day. Second-in-command and his spouse had to go to a very important meeting with Magnus and Camilla for almost the whole day, while Jolyne herself went to a meeting of the Guilds on the issue of a torpedo trout. The child was left in the care of four adventurers with Gale at the head, and it seem that it would not be so difficult to take care of the kid. If they only knew how this event will turned out...

For half a day everything was alright: the kid was not particularly capricious, was full, clean, sitting on a pillow in the main hall and drew something with crayons on paper, while the adults were in the same hall doing their usual things. And then bam - and the child disappeared after the magic cotton. Parents, of course, warned that the baby may have small manifestations of magic. The key word is "small".

At the age of four, to already manage, albeit not consciously, chaotically teleport - a talented little one, truly a child of Lance and Farmer. The distance of the teleporters was short, literally two meters from the old point. But before the adults had time to pick up the child, the fidget with a small cotton disappeared from the hall of the headquarters completely. Adults had no choice but to start searching for the "missing little magician".

Brianna couldn't understand why Lance can't just hire a nanny in their hometown. Why should they be the babysitters? Ah yeah, because it's a magical child, with the "gift". It is unlikely that the nanny would be able to keep track of the baby, who would cast mini fireballs or levitate throughout the house. But at least in this case it was possible to push the blame on the nanny, or the same parents. It's not good to think like that, but she's just so tired.

While she and Edmund were standing on the sandy shore and exchanging not too pleasant words, a worried Drake ran up to them:

"I've already searched everywhere, - he said, out of breath, - the main hall, our rooms, the rest room, the armory, the closet with elixirs, combed the entire coast - I can't find the little one!"

Poor Drake, it would seem, he is ready to burst into tears on the spot from the hopelessness of the situation and from the realization that he let his dear friend and idol down.

"Hush Drake, do not lose heart. The kid should be nearby, maybe they just accidentally became invisible. This happened to me as a child when I spilled a potion on myself" - Edmund, hearing the sad tone of the pink-haired Adventurer, began to calm him down.

"You were already a daredevil then, weren't you, Edmund?" - Brianna, of course, will not miss the opportunity to tease het friend, especially since this will somehow help dilute the directed situation. To her caustic comment in his address, Edmund decided to tactfully keep silent.

"Shall we recheck the main hall and rooms then? I feel that the child is somewhere nearby, but I cannot find it", - Drake suggested.

"Uugh.. - Brianna sighed wearily and rubbed her temples in hopes of easing her headache. - Ok, let's do it. But we also need Gale to help us too. Where the hell did he go?!"

"I saw him in the armory, he then teleported somewhere. Maybe he's looking for the shore again? Or..."

"Greetings, my dear friends" - A familiar voice came from behind.

The three adventurers gasped in surprise and abruptly turned their heads towards the source of the sound. Lance was already approaching them, a smile on his face, clearly pleased to see his friends. Behind him was his partner, beloved Farmer, who smiled as broadly and sincerely at their friends from the other Guild. Apparently, poor trio forgot that the parents always teleport silently to the island.

"We apologize for the delay. The meeting dragged on, mostly due to Camilla, who couldn't keep her ass still and interrupt and tease everyone" - The Farmer looked apologetically at the trio of people in blue raincoats.

Lance laughed softly at his soulmate's comment and said, "Careful, my love, or Camilla might hear you"

Then the gallant adventurer looked again at his three colleagues:

"I hope our little one hasn't given you much trouble?"

"I missed my baby so much! - The Farmer said impatiently. - So, where is our precious little treasure?"

Brianna looked at Lance and Farmer like she was seeing them for the first time. Edmund tried to find words that would not cause a sharp panic and the inclusion of the "a la crush-break" action. Drake, on the other hand, was standing, looking at Lance, and small, shiny water droplets appeared on the corners of his eyes. Another second - and the young adventurer is about to cry.

Edmund decided to break the silence: "Lance, the baby is now, uhm, is..."

"Here"

All five turned towards the entrance to the Guild building. Calm Gale approached them, with a chirping and joyful missing child in his arms.

"I decided to show the kid my small collection of shells before leaving. The kid was very interested in them"

In confirmation of his words, the child waved his arms cheerfully, holding a beautiful small rainbow shell in left palm.

"I'm glad that you also had a good time, - Lance picked up the baby in his arms. - "Apologize again for such a sudden request."

"It's okay Lance. You two and the kid are always welcome. I think Jolyne would say the same"

Briana, Edmund and Drake were still silent until at the end of the conversation they said a short goodbye to Lance, Farmers and their child. Now their attention has been completely switched to Gale.

"Gale, what the fuck was that?" - Brianna, even after the shock, did not miss the opportunity to express her emotions rather vulgarly towards her colleague.

"Well, the shell version was much more plausible than the version that the child teleported into another dimension."

"Another dimension?!" - Edmund said too emotionally.

Brianna just sighed and headed towards the entrance to the Guild: "...I need drink, something strong. Edmund, where the hell is your whiskey bottle? I know for sure to have a supply"

"But we're on duty... What would Jolyne say", - Drake tried to protest weakly.

Gale put a hand on Drake's shoulder and smiled warmly.

“I think Jolyne would have had a drink in that situation too.

I now with such pleasure absorbed your little fic! I love everything about The First Slash, you were able to describe their dynamics perfectly, in my opinion. They need more lore, and more love 💕

Can't imagine the reaction of the same Edmund when Thad finally has the Galaxy Sword 😂

I liked it) Light and nice to read fic :D 👌❤️

Couldn't sleep last night so I finished the fic earlier :D

I started a new farm and in the first reward chest I found the Femur. This is easily the funniest weapon in the game because it's just a really big bone. At least with the Bone Sword someone bothered to sharpen it, the Femur is just some random bone you can find in the woods, only bigger. Which gave me the idea for the fic.

Basically, the First Slash's first impression of Marlon's odd (not yet) adventurer.

“So, this is all?” asked Edmund as he was gathering his papers.

“Yes, this seems to be all,” sighed Marlon looking tired. “I apologize for not being able to help you more.”

“That’s no problem, Marlon. No one really knows what’s going on in there any longer,” Edmund hurried to reassure the older man. Marlon looked more and more exhausted nowadays. He knows Marlon is trying his best to not burden the other guilds any more than they already are, especially since the situation in the Crimson Badlands is getting dire, but it’s starting to become obvious that he can’t singlehandedly run the guild and keep the Corneal mines clear of monsters for too long. “But if you stumble upon any gems or ore, please send them to Castle Village. Camilla has a few new ideas she wants to test.”

“And if I find any ancient coral fossils or shell remains, I’ll save them for your guild,” Marlon nodded. He lowered his eye at the rough map of the newest underwater cave the First Slash found last week and opened his mouth to say something.

But then the door opened and made them both look up. A kid was standing in the doorway peering around the guild hall curiously. Great, thought Edmund. Something happened. At least I’m here to help Marlon since he obviously won’t ask for help on his own.

“Can I help you with anything, Thad?” came Marlon’s tired voice from behind him.

Thad? Wasn’t that the name of Marlon’s newest potential recruit? Edmund watched the newcomer more carefully. He started walking towards them, checking the swords Marlon had on display as he was approaching. He was tall and kinda scrawny and by the way he was curiously looking around the room it was obvious that he never had anything to do with the adventurer’s lifestyle until now. Edmund knows Marlon is getting desperate to have more adventurers for his guild, but he isn’t sure that another grave on the summit is what anyone needs right now, because there’s no way this naïve kid will survive an encounter with any monster.

“Hi!” Thad greeted them as he reached the counter. He had a surprisingly deep voice. Edmund only nodded, still unsure what to make of him. Unbothered, Thad turned around and untied a long and thin package wrapped in brown paper that was tied to his backpack. He placed it on the counter and unwrapped it to reveal a rusty and badly battered sword. “I bought back the sword you gave me a few days ago. It was really useful, but I found something better.” Marlon hummed, reached below the counter and pulled out a few coins that he handed to Thad.  

“Why are you paying me? It’s your sword.”

“I know good equipment is hard to get at the beginning. Maybe this will help, even if only a little.” Marlon isn’t even bothering to pretend that he might not accept this guy as a member, thought Edmund increasingly worried. Thad shrugged, took the coins and shoved them in his pocket. Edmund noticed the small magnet ring he had on his finger. Wait, has he visited the mines already?

“So, what weapon are you using now, anyway?” Marlon asked as he took the sword from the counter and placed it against the wall behind him.

“Oh? This.” Thad reached to the bunch of tools he kept strapped to his back and pulled out an absolutely gigantic bone. He let it drop on the counted loudly, rattling everything else on it and covering Edmund’s papers with dust and dried mud. There was a long moment of silence after that, as both Edmund and Marlon were staring dumbfounded at the half-fossilized bone. Edmund raised his eyes from the counter and looked at Thad who was grinning proudly. “Really cool, right?”

Marlon sighted again, sounding even more tired now. “As long as you can fight safely with it. Just… remember to check the shop here if you ever need a better weapon.”

“Sure. Thanks for everything!” With that Thad cheerfully picked up the giant bone, stashed it back in its place between the other tools and started to walk towards the door. He turned around to wave at them and then finally left, closing the door behind him.

“Marlon, he’s going to get himself killed out there!” Edmund turned back to the counter nearly panicked.

“He’ll be fine,” Marlon reassured him. “He spends most of his adventuring time digging up the dirt between the floors 10 and 13, which are close enough to the surface. The most dangerous things there are overgrown bugs. Hopefully he decides to stop the whole adventuring business as soon as he finds whatever he seeks there. I think he’s looking for clay.”

Edmund nodded still not convinced that Marlon won’t persuade the kid to join the guild anyway and started shaking the dust from his papers.

---

“A bone?” asked Brianna looking disgusted. “Who in their right mind would prefer a bone over a sword, no matter how old?” On the other side of the table Lance laughed while Jolyne looked at Edmund slightly sceptical.

“I know! And I’m telling you the thing was huge, easily bigger than my entire leg!” Edmund was glad his guildmembers were as shocked as he was. Marlon has been way too casual about the whole thing.

“Well, you have to admit it’s an ingenious solution to the lack of equipment problem that plagues all new adventurers,” Lance chuckled again.

“Please don’t make future First Slash newbies wield bone clubs in combat,” whined Gale. “The magic restrictions we have to train with are difficult enough.”

Lance was about to reply something, but Jolyne cut him off. “But you said that he could fight with the femur successfully, right?”

“Marlon said that he has been going to the mines daily for nearly a week and he seemed unscathed. But he doesn’t know at what point Thad switched to using the femur. Thad was confident that it was a better weapon though.”

“But how can some ancient bone hold enough magic to slay a monster successfully?” asked Brianna, who was still not resuming eating her dinner.

“If the bone is the remain of some ancient magical being or monster then it could still hold some residual magic from its owner. The Corneal mine is overflowing with strong arcane energies and that prevents any magic for dissipating, no matter how old,” answered Jolyne.

“It’s also possible that the bone was used in some magic ritual in the past. The caves of the Corneal Mountains have been often used by dark mages for secret rituals throughout history. Even Magnus hasn’t been able to fully put a stop on it,” completed Lance while taking a bite from his food. “Wasn’t that part of the material you had to learn before being allowed to help Marlon at his guild?” he asked while smiling towards Brianna, who was staring slightly panicked back at him. At her side Gale was already starting to look depressed.

“Who is scheduled to visit Pelican Town next? If Edmund is right and Marlon is determined to recruit Thad as his newest adventurer then we must make sure to keep an eye on him, he seems promising,” Lance continued while still holding that smile. Great, thought Edmund. He’s not dropping that. We’re all going to have to relearn that stupid manual about Stardew Valley’s history and it’s a few hundred pages long. Lance and Jolyne are way too obsessed with their documentation. Edmund picked his bowl of food resigning to his fate.

“And that holds true for whoever is visiting Castle Village from now on too,” added Jolyne. “We can’t afford to be left in the dark about the goings on of other guilds. Especially since there are only a few new adventurers this year.” There was a chorus of agreements then Edmund continued his report on his visit to Pelican Town.

Hope it's readable, since some sentences seem confusing to read but I didn't know how to rewrite them. I also still have no idea how paragraphs work.

Any suggestions/criticism on anything really are more than welcomed.

"Sitnice" koje vam ugrožavaju zdravlje

Loša higijena ne samo da povećava rizik od različitih bolesti, več utiče i na naš društveni i profesionalni život. Ali, čak i najvećim čistuncima desi se da previde ponešto. Evo kojih pet (čestih) grešaka bi trebalo da izbegnete: Nošenje obuće bez čarapa "U proseku, žlezde na stopalima izluče i do nekolko desetina mililitara znoja dnevno, što je prilično velika količina ako ide 'direktno' u cipelu, bez čarape koja bi apsorbovala deo", kaže za Medical Daily dr Ema Stivenson, podijatar. Pored neprijatnog mirisa koji nećete moći da izbegnete, povećavate time i rizik od stvaranja žuljeva i gljivičnih infekcija. Preko noći možete ubaciti suve kesice čaja u cipele, da bi pokupile višak vlage, savetuje dr Stivenson. Ne perete četkice za šminku Na četkicama za šminkanje skupljaju se prljavština, mrtve ćelije kože i bakterije, a ako pribor za šminkanje ne čistite redovno, sve to svakog dana temeljno razmazujete po licu, i posle će vam đavo biti kriv kad vam izađu bubuljice ili dobijete konjuktivitis. Jednom nedeljno operite četkice i sunđerčiće kojima se šminkate u ratvoru blagog (najbolje dečjeg) tečnog sapuna i mlake vode, dobro isperite i ostavite da se osuši na vazduhu. I nikad ni sa kim nemojte da razmenjujete šminku. Čak ni sa najboljom drugaricom. Uši čistite štapićima za uši U uho ne bi trebalo da gurate, kako bi to lepo rekli lekari starije generacije, "ništa manje od lakta". Ako koristite štapiće za uši, rizikujete da oštetite ušni kanal, ponekad čak i bbnu opnu. Vosak koji se stvara ne stvara se bez razloga, on služi da spreči isušivanje ušnog kanala i da zaštiti unutrašnje uho od prljavštine i bakterija. Uho možete očistiti krajičkom vlažnog peškira. Dublje od toga, ne gurajte ništa. Oralna higijena vam se svodi na pranje zuba "Većina bakterija koje izazivaju karijes i bolesti desni živi na teško dostupnim mestima između zuba. Jedini način da uklonite plak sa tih mesta je redovno korišćenje dentalnog konca ili interdentalnih četkica", kaže dr Edmund Hjulit sa Univerziteta Kalifornije. I ne zaboravite da operete i jezik, svaki put kad perete zube, naravno. Ne menjate redovno posteljinu i peškire Peškir možete upotrebiti tri puta, pre nego što ga stavite na pranje, a posteljinu bi trebalo da menjate jednom nedeljno. Znate već… Čistoća je pola zdravlja. Let's block ads! (Why?)

[studentinpursuitofclouds]

omg hi im new here... so i saw your lance as a father hcs and i read the part where he and the farmer would leave the kid to the first slash clan if they're both busy and i can't help but find that so silly. would you write a little more about that? i love the first slash so much

Hey hey, welcome 👋Thanks for the kind words ❤️

I really like The First Slash clan dynamic, and I really hope that in 1.6 or 2.0 more quests and events will be given to them. In the meantime, I'll write my silly HC!

Instead of a small fic, I decided to write a small headcanon on a scale, which of them would be the best nanny for a child, while Lance and the Farmer were called for some urgent business, and there was no time to hire other nannies. I think Jolyne will be happy to help them and look after the child, but how will the others react to the baby? Thanks for asking, enjoy! ☺️

Jolyne:

That cool and badass aunt!

Jolyne will always find something to entertain the child, and at the same time she will not spoil them too much.

Quite responsibly refers to cooking and sleeping. With her, the child will get up in it like in the army.

One stern look from her will make them be obedient if the kid starts to act up.

But there may be isolated cases when Jolyne succumbs to puppy eyes. But only once.

Jolyne tells stories about her adventures so interestingly that the little one will sit down and listen for a long, long time. Stories will never be boring!

She always remains calm and knows what to do if magical abilities spontaneously appear in the baby.

10/10, best babysitter ever!

Drake:

Drake is one of those people who love to play with children, but do not know how to take care of them.

Why are they crying? Are they hungry? Do they have a stomach ache? What medicines to give children? Can they take healing elixirs? Drake needs an adult!

"You are the adult, dumbass!"

The very first one to get along with the kid. After all, children are fun, especially since this is the child of their friend and member of the guild!

If it is his turn to cook dishes, then he will ask his guildmates a hundred times if they can give monster fruits.

The first to raise a panic if the child, due to their magical gifts, begins to levitate or randomly teleport.

But on the other hand, Drake can easily find something to do for the kid, so that others can do their own business of the Guild.

He will allow them sweets and go to bed late, for which he will receive scolding from the Jolyne and others.

As if Jolyne had volunteered to look after two children instead of one.

6/10, a good nanny, only if he can correct to prepare baby food and be responsible, then he would be generally golden nanny.

Gale:

The calmest of all.

He takes care of the baby like he does it every day.

Gale is always watching where the child is.

Allows them to look at the collection of weapons and magic staves, but just don't touch anything!

On his patrol, Gale will take Lance's and Farmer's child with him. Show them how he fishes with magic, help them collect shells with them, etc.

If the child behaves well, he will even build a sand castle with them.

By behavior, Gale is like a noble dog: he will keep all the whims and questions from the little troublemaker. Of course, he won’t let the child go too far, but he won’t limit th to strict rules either.

9/10, what a chill dude.

Brianna:

Hey, little gnome.

What do you need?

She doesn't have time to look after the kids. Shoo...

Brianna has already come to terms with the child, who constantly asks her questions about everything.

And why does the child cling to her? What, there are no other people on the island?

Did they say she has beautiful hair color? And a cool coat?

...

Do you want her to show the fireball she recently learned?

Yoba, Edmund! Don't yell at her for being irresponsible! She will be careful, pinky promise.

He does not pay much attention to the child, but still does not let go of sight.

She cooks food for them only when others do not have the opportunity to do this.

5/10, not bad, but could do better.

Edmund:

A little nervous about the child's condition.

Are they full? Clean? Are there any wounds or abrasions? No? Phew...

Edmund will be the first to scold Drake for being irresponsible if his colleague starts spoiling the kid.

He will also be the first to yell at stupid colleagues who wanted to show the kid dangerous magic (Brianna, mostly). Do you have any brains left?

Until Jolyne or Gale calm him down. Take a breath, 'Momm'y (Edmund now hates this nickname).

He can be overprotective. After all, children are a big responsibility.

There is not much time to play with them, but at least he will find paper and pencils for them, or something else for leisure.

Still, quite a good nanny, 7/10, like a tired single mom.

[studentinpursuitofclouds]

"What's that sound behind the thick door"

Anyway, another crappy SVE one-shot, but this time I'm back to Lance x My OC Farmer because I haven't written anything about Julian in a while. So, yeah...

⚠️ Warning: light NSFW, swearing

_________________________________________

The full moon reflected silver on the surface of the sea water, creating a beautiful path that Drake was eager to walk along. The young First Slash Clan member had used up almost all of his mana today to learn how to stand on the water surface without getting wet, but it wasn't enough for him. He's finally figured out how to read the spell correctly, and so he wants to practice more and more until his leg muscles ache from the flow of mana circulating through his veins. But fainting from fatigue is not an option, as his and Brianna's patrolling the Fable Reef today.

So Drake stood on the sandy shore for another minute, enjoying the coolness of the summer night and the seascape, and then headed towards the Guild entrance.

He didn't have to look for his partner for long, as the grumbling of the violet-haired girl could be heard throughout the hall.

"Agh! Fucking hell, stupid- if I'd known this torpedo trout was going to be so stinky - I wouldn't have never touched this damn thing. Yuck! All the soap, and it's still not enough..."

To be honest, the strong smell of fish is quite usual for all members of the First Slash, as most of their diet is fish and seafood, and all thanks to the Gem Ocean, which is rich in marine fauna. However, because of the torpedo trout, created by "dumbass cowards wizards from Gotoro" (Brianna's words), not only ships and boats of the Ferngill Republic's inhabitants became endangered, but also local fish, some species of which were on the verge of extinction.

A member of another Guild, a good friend of Lance's, and the topic of discussion of almost the entire community of adventurers and mages, came to the rescue of the First Slash with fish - Julian needed only a week, a trusty rod and good bait to catch almost the entire shoal of this cursed trout that terrorised the ocean. And since this magical fish, when studied, remained an ordinary fish and, most importantly, safe to eat, the issue of the First Slash clan's expiring provisions was solved as well.

Only the smell from the fish was unbearable - even for regular fish - to the point where cutting and further study had to be moved to fresh air. Brianna, unfortunately, was a "victim" of that odour.

"It's not so bad, and you don't smell like a cut durian anymore." At Drake's not-too-successful attempt to cheer up her partner and lover, Brianna threw a 'stinky' glance in his direction.

'We'll see how you talk when we're both in the same bed after work. Friendly reminder: there are no windows in our room." Still, the girl's stern look softened as she looked at Drake's sympathetic face. "Okay, we'll be patrolling the shore soon. Jolyne and the others have probably gone to bed by now." Brianna's gaze travelled from Drake's face to the wooden door to the guest room that was behind him.

"And that guy with blue and green eyes... Does he sleep here too?"

"Hmm?" Drake turned back around, shifting his gaze to the door as well. "I don't remember Julian leaving the Guild. Though... I haven't seen him in like two hours either. Can't say for sure" He hesitated.

"Shall we check the guest room?" Briana suggested.

"Why? Maybe he's in there, and asleep already. Don't wanna bothering him."

"Him, or them?"

"Them?" Drake asked.

"With Lance."

Sigh, this again...

During the whole time Julian had been at Fable Reef, Brianna had noted to herself that Lance had begun to behave unusually in his presence. Everyone couldn't tell at first glance, but she was not dumb. The look that their second-in-command and that blonde weirdo gave each other... It was the same look she had given Drake when their feelings for each other had just begun to blossom.

That's when the rumours of their secret affair started. Edmund quickly joined in to listen to his friend's gossip, because life on the island was getting a little boring. Gale pretended not to be interested, but still listened to what the others were discussing. All the guild members decided not to let their commander Jolyne in on the details, or else she would have kicked everyone's ass for slacking off on patrol.

"What makes you think there's anything between these two?" Drake still didn't believe Brianna and her 'connected dots theory."

"Because," she said, "I was keeping watch, not exhausting myself in salt water trying to master a spell."

" Wha- Hey, I was practising, you know! While you sneaking around and-"

"AH!~"

A muffled moan could be heard behind the thick wooden door of the guest room. The couple of blue cloaked adventurers instantly fell silent, exchanging surprised looks.

"Well, this farmer is definitely here...."

On tiptoe, Brianna and Drake moved closer to the door, trying to hear anything else. For half a minute there was complete silence, broken only by the sound of the sea from the window and the unpleasant buzzing of gnats near the hall lamps. Both of them were about to think that they had imagined it, when suddenly they heard the same muffled but more clear words:

"Gentle, La -ah! Lance... hah..."

Although the building itself was old, the soundproofing in the rooms was still great. So it had to be really loud to hear this

"Wow, they're definitely fucking." Violent-haired girl conclusion was final.

"Brianna..."

"Edmund owed me a bottle."

"I never thought... Well, I mean, Lance is within his rights to date whoever he wants, I just didn't expect that farmer to... Wait," Drake stopped, "what bottle?"

"Edmund said he didn't believe Lance and this Julian guy were in a secret relationship at all. We bet on a bottle of 'Bluemoon' wine from Stardew Valley. I won," She smiled victoriously at her partner.

"Why am I not surprised..." he signed. "Can we move away from the door, please? I feel uncomfortable, like we're intruding...."

"Aren't you curious?"

"No! Brianna, c'mon!"

She put her hands up. "All right, all right, let's go already," the girl looked into Drake's dark blue eyes again and prodded him. "And after work.... we can open a bottle, light some candles~"

"Heh, you think the smell of candles will block out your fish stench?" This time Drake got a little poke in the side with Brianna's elbow.

"You asshole...." But there was no irritation in the girl's voice. She spoke again, "Hopefully this wine will be good, because the last bottle from Edmund was so terrible..."

""Last bottle?", huh."

Jolyne's commanding voice immediately made the young adventurers stand up in a string.

"It's already midnight, why aren't you two on patrol?" The Guild Head crossed her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow questioningly, humbling her subordinates with a single glance.

"Uh- uh... O- on our way, ma'am." A startled Drake quickly saluted Jolyne, and grabbing Brianna by the sleeve, pulled her towards the hallway exit. Jolyne gave them a glance, stood by that very door for half a minute, listening to the silence, before sighing tiredly and shaking her head, heading for her room.

"Ouch! Love, can you- ow! Can you please be careful..." For a Stardew Valley hero and stoic adventurer, Julian had been whimpering for about half an hour now from the simple massage his partner Lance had graciously provided.

"You should have been more careful earlier, my soul." The pink-haired man pressed Julian's bare back with precise finger movements, forcing the muscles to relax. "Didn't I tell you about the importance of exercising periodically and not sitting in one position for long?"

"The torpedo trout nibble was insane, you saw the bubbles over the water yourself!" Lance wouldn't argue here: his lover had indeed had a very successful and exciting fishing trip. So exciting, in fact, that the blond-haired young man had sat on the sandy shore today with a fishing rod for almost seven hours straight. In one position.

Lance started rubbing Julian's back again. "Still, stretch your body more often, okay? Because if this pain caught you in a fight, it could end badly." Under Lance's hands, Julian almost melted like butter on a hot day. And how his partner knew which points to press.

"Mhm, m'kay. Thanks, love."

"You're welcome, Julian," he paused for a second. "How are you feeling?"

"Never feel better." mumbled Julian sleepily, to the chuckle of his pink-haired lover.

"I think we're done here. Come on, we should get ready for bed. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day for the two of us."

things have been a little bit dead around here, so random headcanons for sve characters?

I like to think that it's just a little pause, not that is "dead". 😄 So here are some random headcanons for different stardew valley expanded (and some vanilla sdv) characters! It turned out to be a little long post, I immediately write a small scenario for everyone, I can’t live without a scenario. Does this even count as headcanon? What are the rules when writing a headcanon, how to write anything at all, aaaaa

Morgan told us that Magnus could let them have a pet from Marnie's Ranch, but I personally think Morgan's choice would be frogs! They are jumpy, funny and very interesting animals. So Morgan, with the permission of Rasmodius, will get themself a small aquarium with two or three frogs. Vincent will definitely be jealous because "Mom doesn't let me have bugs and frogs in the house!".

Adventurer Drake will see the Farmer catching torpedo trout on the Fable Reef at the request of Jolyne. No one has ever been able to catch even one fish, so "ummm... can you catch one for me please? I'd love to study it!" And the Farmer gladly agree. Later, the rest of the adventurers (Brianna, Gale and Edmund) find out what the two of them are up to and also ask the Farmer to catch this trout for them too. As a result, Jolyne sees how four of her wards surrounded the young Farmer from all sides, like little children. The leader of the First Slash clan will laugh softly, and then bark authoritatively at all of you, because "someone has left the duties of patrolling the island!", and she tell the Farmer with a smile to "stop spoiling my wards."

Victor will fulfill his little dream and create a 'bridge building simulator' game with the help of Sebastian and his experience as a programmer. Of course, the game is only in the Beta version, and Victor was worried that no one would be interested in it. But those who have already downloaded it like the game. Someone creates different works of art, someone for fun constructs crazy bridges, like some sort of dead loop. In general, the game gets a lot of positive feedback and Victor is seriously thinking about improving the game, he asks Sebby if it's worth it. Sebastian doesn't mind.

The ice cream kiosk is open only in summer, and in other seasons it's empty. But Susan came up with a great idea - hot chocolate and coffee to go! Alex liked this idea the most ("now I can work again!"). And Susan will give Alex her recipe for the greatest hot chocolate you ever taste. She won't accept a share of Alex's hot drink sales, since Susan gave the recipe out of the goodness of her heart, and so no one gets cold in this weather. But she doesn't mind the sweets and delicious pastries that Alex gives her from Grandma Evelyn as thanks for the wonderful idea and hot chocolate recipe!

I know Andy isn't exactly the friendliest person, but I think he has a soft spot for kids (even a little weird ones like Morgan and Leo) and might even take them on a hike in the woods. He will show them the best places for picking berries, what mushrooms you cannot eat, show the nests of various animals, and explain how to treat the forest with respect. Deny all you want, Andy, we know that deep down you are very kind and caring person.

Lance collects seashells from the beach. Considering how often our gallant adventurer patrolled Ginger Island, I think he was attracted by some interesting specimens of shells of various colors and shapes, which he decided to keep. So don't be surprised if one day Lance, as Farmer's spouse, shows them his little collection of shells and tells stories about where he found them.

I had a lot of fun writing little headcanons about different characters, I like the freedom of writing. Maybe I'll write more similar scenario for other characters later, who knows. Hope you like it, and have a great day! ❤️
