☆ A Break On A Farm — Stanarrator x Male Reader HCs ☆

Genre: Fluff || he/him pronouns for reader || No warnings needed

──────.𖥔 ݁ ˖˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ──────

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Narrator aimed to find something to keep you and Stanley entertained, and a simple farming simulator seemed to be the best way to do that. Sure it was pixle-y and obviously not his Parable, but it could do

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Stanley surprisingly got the hang of farming pretty quickly. Well, at least the basics. Just some watering and then harvesting them for money seemed easy enough. You had to teach him some methods here and there to improve productivity

ᯓᡣ𐭩 You were content helping to clean up the farm, especially with the work that felt a little domestic like taking care of the pet NPC you owned together or styling up your home. It was nice to have a space you both could control for once

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Narrator was the one who kept insisting on bigger and better, giving you and Stanley iridium-level materials and tons of fertilizer. He wanted to see everything flourish, and wasn't keen on waiting for too long, profit was the name of the game, right?

ᯓᡣ𐭩 There weren't any townspeople NPCs, but Narrator talked enough for about five people, so it didn't come across as much of a problem. Besides, it was nice to hear the soft music in the air as you worked on your humble home

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Narrator kept getting rather bored while you and Stanley tried to work, but you two convinced him to stick around long enough to really enjoy it. It was calming here, and a nice break from the mundanity you were used to

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Farm animals were some of the best parts, especially since chickens seemed to gravitate to Stanley. Everywhere he walked, they followed, and you were able to collect eggs from them pretty easily due to it. Meanwhile the pet you both decided on adored you to bits and always came to you rather than Stanley

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Narrator kept complaining about the amount of time you were spending there, until you and Stanley began gathering gifts for him from the game. Suddenly he was pretty fond of the farm, and let you stay for however long you wanted

[stories-about-you]

since your open for reqs, may i req a narrator x gn teen reader father figure hcs? Platonic ofc, pls take your time in writing this ‼️‼️

HAII THANK U SM FOR SENDING A REQUEST, UR MY FIRST QUESTION ON THIS BLOG (as u can probably tell)

ILL TRY MY BEST TO WRITE SOMETHING NICEY FOR U :D

+｡:.ﾟTHANKヽ(*´∀)ﾉﾟYOU.:｡+ﾟ

So, first off I think we all know how much he likes being comedic, so I'm 99% sure he would be telling dad jokes 24/7, probably just to tease u if he knows that it gets on your nerves, but he'll still always try to make you laugh, since he ofc wants u to be happy, and also just to make u feel better too if ur having a bad day

i also feel like he would steal candy or food from you 😭😭 like most dads do, just reaching his hand into the bad of candy and pulling out a quarter of all the candy inside and eating it, leaving barley any for u in the process-

"Oh come on, I practically watch over you everyday, I think I'm aloud to get a thank you for it, hm?"

"....but that was half the bag-"

since ur a teenager and all he would know when to give u ur space if u need it, cause he was a teenager once too and knows that you're growing and need privacy, though he will check in very often if ur hiding in ur room all the time, just to make sure ur ok (will ask A LOT if u want anything to eat, he knows that humans. And well, teenagers, need a lot to eat everyday so he'll make sure you're fed)

"Are you STILL laying in bed? Sigh Well, would you like anything to eat atleast? ....no? No, that won't do, I won't let you go on with the day with only coffee from this morning in your system, no no, come now, pick out something from the kitchen and I'll make it for you"

you have homework often? He'll make sure you get it done, he doesn't want you falling behind at all, if it's anything to do with English or storytelling then He'll definitely offer help, but might get carried away and do about a quarter of the work for u

If u keep getting distracted by your phone or TV then he'll definitely take your phone for a bit, or just move u out of the room with the TV in it

"Now...I'm taking thi- wha-? It's only for half an hour! Honestly I think you'll survive, gosh....what? What in the hell is a snapchat? .....your friends are expecting you to text them back? Well, I'm sure that they'll understand that your education and future is more important, and that you need to study, more important than tiktok or that snap streak you gawk on and on about" then with a wave of his hand he'll walk off

he'll let you work next to him if it helps you concentrate tho, while he works on some scripts or reads

if ur trans or non-binary he might surprise you with a binder! (Only if you're aloud to have one) If he can find a cheap one somewhere, but he'll repeatedly remind you that you shouldn't wear it for too long or else it will cause damage, and will remind you how to apply it right over and over (he just wants u to be safe :3)

"So? Does it fit well? Oh I knew you'd like it! And remember, no more than 8 hours, understand? I'm serious about that, I just want you to be safe wearing it alright?"

Or if you don't need or want a binder then he might get u a small pride pin with ur flag or pronouns, anything to make u feel better with yourself

venting is important, he knows that, and will always let you come to him, in case your parents refuse to listen or even another adult

affection from him can come in so many different ways but he'll always stick with the one that makes you most comfortable

Hugs and forehead kisses? He can do that

Verbal affection and compliments? Alright

Gift giving? More than glad to see you light up at a gift he got you

The only thing he truly cares about is your happiness, and he'll treat you like his own, his child that he never got, because he loves you and always will

Since everyone likes my version of Stanley Parable's Narrator heres some sketches I made!

One more chibi than the other but again, my art style is hella inconsistent so forgive me--

ASMR | The Stanley Parable - Narrator x Listener SFW The Narrator Tries To Help When You're Sick

[M4A] [Implied Narrator is getting platonic/romantic feelings] [Set before any feelings confession] [Sick comfort / chronic illness comfort] [A bit of reverse comfort too] [You take the place of Stanley]

It's been a long time since we've seen him, but I'll always love him. As always I feel self-conscious of this voice as I can't at all sound like the actual voice actor, but I hope you enjoy me trying to match his way of speaking for my own version of the character. Based on a Patreon request. RiverHeightsPuff asked "Seconding all the requests for illness comfort as I'm sick rn and relistening to all the ones we already have on repeat- perhaps Narrator from Stanley Parable? Maybe his story gets thrown off because Stanley isn't feeling 100% but trying to power through anyway"

"You're always welcomed here."

Hi and welcome to "Eddie had a whole fucking mental breakdown after all of his stress culminated, and now he feels like a fucking failure and a horrible person. So narrator fictive gave him fic idea yaaaaay" okay anyways. Tsp fic yayayay -Eddie🐶

Summary: The Narrator knew it wasn't odd for you to have these breakdowns, most times triggered by your own thoughts - or the overarching feeling of loneliness that the parable held. So it came as no surprise when you came to him for support, for comfort.

Warnings: Light angst, mentions of breakdowns... Yeah that's it I think, oh and not beta read but that's a given-

Ao3

"My dear, breath."

The Narrator whispered, voice vaguely swimming in your half conscious mind.

"It will be okay, I promise, my dear."

He whispered once more, giving your hand a light squeeze - ushering your head to leaned more firmly against his chest. The Narrator knew it wasn't odd for you to have these breakdowns, most times triggered by your own thoughts - or the overarching feeling of loneliness that the parable held. So it came as no surprise when you came to him for support, for comfort. And he was more than willing to help, he was your Narrator, of course.

Calloused and deft fingers worked through your hair, the motions almost second nature. They were practiced, perfected, skilled, and knowing. The Narrator knew every place that would help calm your burning bones, to help qeull the sting your marrow held.

In truth, he quite enjoyed these moments - peaceful and quiet, a moment away from the chaos of the parable and what Stanley had in store for him. It was nice, a small piece of home the two of you shared.

A rough palm carefully came down to your shoulder, giving it a small squeeze of reassurance.

"Do you think you'll be alright, darling?" He questioned, almost hesitant to let you return to your normal duties of surveillance.

There was a long pause, a heavy silence that told The Narrator everything he needed to know. He gave an amused chuckle, watching your eyes cut away with embarrassment - only causing his to crinkle with endearment.

His hand came back to your hair, fingers reinserting themselves within the colored locks. He tangled a few strands around the tips of fingers, letting them fall back to your scalp - only to repeat the motion, and smile as your rested closer in response.

"I see..." The Narrator hummed. "Well, feel free to stay as long as you'd like, my dear." He chuckle, pressing his lips to your temple in a gentle kiss.

"You're always welcomed here."

My Stanley Parable book on Ao3

I'm doing a book for The Stanley Parable, I'll mainly be doing The Narrator though i will also do other character interactions.

the reason i bring this up is, i want you to give me prompts.

so, things like, how the narrator would act about you doing something or even stanley or the currator or whoever's in the stanley parable, so, go ahead and bombard me with your ideas and i'll give little tidbits for it on here but the full thing will be on my Ao3, the books called "My Narrator (Story ideas and Headcannons)"

Thank you! have a good day/night <3

[cloves-shenanigans]

YIPPEE it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these

Favorite color: You’d never guess (/j), but a nice blue in the cyan/cobalt gradient. Purple is a very close second though, I am a sucker for a nice lilac or violet

Last song: …. Inspector Gadget Theme. I. There is a reason.

Currently Reading: Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, I am SPEEDING this thing on Webtoon until I’m caught up, then I’m gonna pick up the novel

Currently Watching: I’m rewatching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and I’m at season 4 episode 3 :]

Currently Craving: Sleep, if I’m gonna be honest 😓 or berry blue Jell-o. oh man I could so go for that right now

Coffee or Tea: Depends- if it’s morning, then coffee (I have decaf because I like the taste + placebo effect usually works), but if it’s afternoon/evening/night, then peach tea.

A hobby I’d like to try: Honestly? Fursuit making, something like a head or paws. It seems fun! :3

An AU/Alternate Universe I’ve been plotting for: Maybe I haven’t actively doing anything for it, but I’ve been thinking a lot about a TSPUD x IEYTD crossover AU for a while now. Stanley and the Narrator as an Agent/Handler duo would go so hard tbh, I just have to get around to drawing it sometime

Thank you for tagging me!! o7

Get To Know Me tag game

@wyvchard tagged me for this! Making a new post since the reblog chain was getting long

It has been a minute since I last did one of these, lol

Favorite color: Blue! Green is a close second

Last Song: Bring on the Monsters - Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical

Currently Reading: Too many fics to list. As for books, I'm reading The Nine Eyes of Lucien by Madeleine Roux (very good so far!)

Currently Watching: Nothing in particular (though I should be catching up on CR-)

Currently Craving: Nothing? Well, maybe Cheddar Bay Biscuits, but I have a couple on my plate with my breakfast, so that'll be resolved shortly, lol

Coffee or Tea: Tea, 100%. I don't even particularly enjoy the smell of coffee, let alone the taste. I also don't need to risk the caffeine knocking me out (gotta love ADHD weirdness)

A hobby I would like to try: I'd like to give archery a try! There are a lot of folks who've done it in my family (including both my parents, and I believe both my grandmothers; I know for a fact my Mimi did it competitively for a while when she was young)

An AU/Alternate universe I've been plotting for: Ash and Shadow I guess technically counts, since it's canon-divergent. As for something more solidly AU, I'm playing around with Radio Host Phoenix in the background while working on chapters for Ash and Shadow (thanks to @agent-calivide for that brain worm, lol)

As for other tags: @definitelyunhingedagentphoenix @kitkatyes and @sciencewife if you folks are interested!

HIII!!! I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE U WRITE FOR THE TSP!! I THOUGHT I WOULD THROW A REQUEST IN HERE BECUZ YKNOW :3 tsp on the brain right now.

may i possibly request a reader who's vv touchstarved but too shy to actually admit they want affection??? romantic w/ the narrator and stanley (separate) please!

i think this is my first headcanon thingy for tsp so i hope it’s okay 😭

— at first, stanley might not even notice that his significant other wants affection. he tends to be very focused on his work and routine, and might not pick up on the subtle hints you give him. however, once he does realize what's going on, he would try to be more attentive and affectionate towards you! he might start small, with things like holding hands or giving you a quick kiss on the cheek, just so it’s not too awkward.

he might also try to encourage his partner to open up more, without being too forceful. he might suggest things like going on a date or taking a walk together, in order to create a more relaxed and intimate atmosphere for the two of you.

overall, be would want to make sure that you feel loved and appreciated, even if you’re too shy to ask for it directly. he knows what it feels like to not be heard, and he never wants you to feel that way towards him!!

The Narrator would probably pick up on your desire for affection right away, thanks to his keen attention to detail and ability to read people.

he would try to be understanding and patient with you, recognizing that shyness can be difficult to overcome. he might tease you for it sometimes, but he’s just trying to be playful!

maybe he would also use his storytelling skills to create a more romantic atmosphere, perhaps by reading you a love poem or telling you a story idk.. he just has that specific kind of voice that you wouldn’t mind listening to, no matter what he’s saying

however, i feel like he might struggle with wanting to be in control of the situation. he might try to push you to be more open or affectionate, which could backfire and make you feel even more uncomfortable.. 😭

ultimately, the narrator would want to find a way to help you feel comfortable expressing your desires, while also respecting your boundaries and wishes, even if it takes some trial and error.

hii may i request some gender neutral reader x stanley (yep, the silly protagonisg himself) stuff? anything goes really as long as its fluff, maybe some cuddling, up to you

☆ A Moment of Rest — Stanley x GN!Reader Fic ☆

Genre: Fluff || they/them pronouns for reader || No warnings needed

──────.𖥔 ݁ ˖˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ──────

Fresh out of a story run, you and Stanley had decided to head to the employee break room. You definitely both needed it, in the last run of the story the Narrator had been particularly uncooperative. So, in a fit of indignation, he was leaving you two be for the moment. Which only created one problem— without a story to follow, there wasn't much to do. Narrator only gave you two extra items to play around with on a good day, now it was just the two of you and the vending machine that didn't work.

You huffed a deep sigh, leaning against the table. You could always trash stuff or something like that, but it didn't really strike your interest today. You glanced to the blue couch on the other side of the room, then to where Stanley was doodling on a napkin with a spare pen he found. You slid over, trying to peer over his shoulder. He turned a little to hide the image from you, and you chuckled "Sorry, sorry". He huffed a little, using his hands as a guard to keep up the work. You draped yourself over his back, head leaning against his "Got anything you wanna do besides this mysterious art?"

Stanley shook his head. You sighed, keeping an arm around him "Still tired?". He nodded. "Yeah, I get that" you replied, drumming your fingers against his back while you thought. After some minutes, he leaned back, stuffing the napkin in his pocket. You leaned off of him, and he began using his hands to sign to you. Narrator had implemented captions to translate what was being said so you could understand better. ['You think he's gonna come back soon?'] He asked you. You gave a shrug "Who knows, this is like the third time he's left in a row"

['Right. But now we're just sitting here'] Stanley replied. "Aw, come on, there's gotta be something" you said, looking around. Your eyes landed on the blue couch again. You glanced back to Stanley, before gently taking hold of his sleeve, tugging him in that direction. Though visibly bewildered, he followed suit, keeping step with you. You let him go once in front of the furniture, sitting down with a heave flop. You scooted to the far end, kicking your feet up to lounge back. "Might as well make use of what we have. Take a seat" you said. ['You're taking up the whole couch'] Stanley signed, his expression showing his mild frustration. Without waiting for an answer, he gently pushed your legs off his spot, sitting beside you.

You chuckled as you scooted up a bit to make some room, before seeing the fatigue that clung to the primary protagonist. It was in the way his shoulders slumped and his back leaned into the cushions. His expression was also mildly troubled, brow furrowed and a small frown present. Your grin faltered, concern on your face. "Hey, you feeling okay?" You asked. Stanley just nodded. You gave a small hum of worry, unconvinced. You inched closer to his side, wrapping an arm around his shoulders "Come on, lay down, take a break" you gently insisted. ['But there isn't enough room-'] Stanley signed in reply. "Stan, you can lean on me. It's okay" you responded. Stanley hesitated.

['Are you sure?'] Stanley asked. "Hey, how many times have I fallen asleep on you?" you asked back, not waiting for an answer before continuing, "I don't mind, I promise. You need it anyways". Stanley thought it over, before scooting in. He waited for you to lay back before resting atop your chest, arms slowly snaking around your waist to press you close to him. He closed his eyes, letting out a soft grunt as he hid his face in the crook of your shoulder.

You pat his back, rubbing up the length of it before sliding back down. You added your nails in eventually, very lightly grazing his back with them. He went limp in your hold, muscles relaxing and frame easing. He nuzzled you just a bit, using you as a grounding touch while his mind slips away from him. The last you hear is a big, heavy sigh before he finally lets himself fall into a light but blissful sleep. Your hand stills, patting his upper back as the office worker shifted a bit to subconsciously get more comfortable.

You're content to just watch over him for a few minutes, cheek pressed to his head and arms a supporting hold to keep Stanley in that peaceful rest he's finally getting. You glanced down, noticing something in your peripheral vision. A small, dark beige little crumpled paper. With great caution, you slowly leaned over and picked it up. Unfolding it, you could see that it was the drawing Stanley had been working on moments prior, which must have fallen out. Your first instinct was to put it back down. He made it pretty obvious he didn't want you to see it, and you didn't want to pry. But to even see what it was, you had accidentally uncovered the image within. It was a little doodle of the both of you, simplified figures standing next to each other. It was you both sharing an umbrella in some scribbled on rain, closely tucked together, his arm around your waist.

You couldn't help but smile seeing the image. It was a cute picture of you both, and knowing that this is what Stanley wanted to keep from you so bad was a little amusing. But regardless, you folded it back up and tucked the napkin back into his pocket. It was a cute surprise, but you knew he'd be embarrassed and upset if he knew you unintentionally saw it. With that settled, you shifted to get more comfortable, closing your eyes to prepare for a nap of your own. You nuzzled the top of Stanley's head a bit before sinking into sleep with him.

[robygoonn2]

feel like if u were just playing a game by urself then Narry walks in and sees that you're failing at a certain part he would just take the controller out of ur hands and beat that part of the game while you just have to watch, and he'll refuse to give the controller back until he's done. And will probably make you "thank" him for "helping you with the game" then leave

⋆˚࿔ he needs your help to sleep⭑.ᐟ

switching your environment is not easy, whether it be a short while, or forever, change isn't something that most can handle of the bat

especially if you just came from a world of pixels and code, and everything could bend to your will, everything was perfect, the way you, or rather, HE made it to be

it had been...a week, yes, a whole week since you finally freed The Narrator from The Parable, somehow you..really did free him, a enormous shock to both of you, but not an unwelcomed one

change is something The Narrator always seemed to struggle with, back in The Parable, the changes that would have to be made were very minor, sometimes it would be years until some big change needed to happen, so the concept is almost foreign to him, forgotten really

that is not the case here, in the real world, your home, you were of course open to change, since you were born in this world that's always moving, and rearranging things left and right day after day, you learn to just accept it, like all of us

change is normal

but...The Narrator seemed absolutely terrified of the slightest bit of change that had to happen, the thought was horrific, humans can't control most of their lives? how in the world are they even happy? people forget others, friends die and can't come back, people must leave their families after a few years to learn how to be by themselves, learning about all of this just made him more confused and frustrated, not understanding how people can accept this

thinking about this keeps him up at night, which he know it shouldn't, he now has a body, and he needs to sleep to take care of it! but it's just so hard when thinking about all out there in the real world that's so....horrible, this is supposed to be his freedom right? so why were so many things bad here? shouldn't everything be peaceful? he didn't want to think about it anymore, tossing another blanket over himself as he tried to push down the feelings and thoughts to fade off to sleep

but he knew he also had to wait for you, to help him

since the first night, you made a promise to him, that you would help him sleep, you understand how much anxiety and stress this new place is giving him and you hate it, so you offered to do this one small thing for him every night just to hope to soothe him in some way

he tensed up a bit at the sound of the door opening, light from the hallway looming into the dark bedroom, you were here

"Hey.....are you feeling alright? You've been in here longer than the other nights"

letting out a sigh he slowly moves himself up to lean his back against the back of the bed, his eyes half lidded

"mm...just thinking i suppose"

he pats the spot next to him, inviting you to lay or sit next to him, which you quickly make your way over, gently sitting down

"Would you like anything else before bed? Anything at all? I...don't have much but maybe tea?"

his head gently shook a "no", as he then laid down, looking up at you while fighting to stay awake

"You'll stay again?"

"I will, Nar"

"...Promise me"

you let out a gentle breathy laugh as one of your hands go to his hair, getting tangled in the brown and greying locks

"I promise, I didn't leave you at all before right? So why would I now?"

feeling your hand in his hair instantly relaxed him, closing his eyes and sinking deeper into the mattress as he clutched the blanket to his chest, looking like it was grounding him in some way

"Mm....thank you..uhm...could I ask something of you actually?"

"Anything"

hesitation, like always when he was in a vulnerable position like this one, in the Parable he had a reputation to uphold, but now he has nothing, so he doesn't really know why he's still trying to uphold an ego when he knows you would never make fun of him, if anything he feels most comfortable talking with you about problems of his, but old habits seem to keep up with him sadly

"Could you lay with me tonight?"

Oh

That's...a big step, it seemed just yesterday he was afraid of just being in the same room as another person but this? It's...well progress, a small smile grew on your face

"Oh? ...well sure, move over a bit, you're hogging all the space"

He lets out a tired scoff even though you're right, and obliges, laying down next to him you felt him wrap his arms around your body and pull you into him, nuzzling his face into your hair and taking a deep breath, The Narrator's body relaxing now that you're in his arms, holding a firm grip on you, but not painful

It felt nice

as you wrap your own arms around him you whisper good night, which he whispers gently as well, both of your bodies fitting into each other's as sleep overcame you both, Narrator's anxiety is gone now, thanks to you, and he couldn't be more grateful for you doing this for him

[that-new-author]

Yooo, ok, so I was just wondering if you could do a really touch starved, clingy Narrator snuggling his S/O? You can change whatever to your hearts desire! Thank you! I love your stories so much!

I had an idea and I went with it for this one-

Reader x Clingy, Touch-Starved Narrator

“Nooooooo..”

You roll your eyes as you hear a groan come from the man you were asleep with. You had assumed he was asleep as well, rookie mistake. All-powerful beings technically don’t need sleep.

Narrator wraps his arms tighter around you, attempting to pull you back into the bed, but eventually failing. You chuckle as you move his arms off of you, getting up to make breakfast for the two of you, even though technically Narrator doesn’t have to eat.

Just when you thought he’d given up, an invisible force had pulled you back into the bed, leaving you looking up, dazed. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Narrator looking down at you with a smirk before pulling you back into an unplanned cuddle session.

“Is now really the time?”, you ask him, looking towards him with a feigned exasperated look. “Don’t you have your story to work on?”

“Oh screw the story for now! I am in dire need for your attention and you’re willing to ignore me?”, he replied dramatically. You sigh and flip around so you’re facing him.

“‘Screw the story,’ eh? A little while ago, even the thought of saying the would be absolutely blasphemous!”, you teased him lightheartedly, a grin painting your face.

He rolls his eyes. “Oh please, I was blasphemous! Now pipe down and hug me,”, he buries his head into your shoulder, wrapping his arms back around you.

“That doesn’t even ma-“ you were cut off by a shushing noise coming from him. You stop talking, but continue trying to pull away, pushing away from him. It takes a couple minutes of pushing before you give up. Narrator is stubborn, he will not let go.

“Finally come to your senses, hm?”, he chuckles, a smile on his face. You just sigh and lean into him, burying your face into the fabric of his shirt.

Narrator’s hand snakes its way to the back of your head, gently petting your hair. Your breathing slows as you lean into him further, closing your eyes. The rise and fall of his chest comforts you, and you match your breathing to his.

Every time he moves, he lets out a little hum. Most of his movements are him just trying to scoot closer to you, but at this point it is physically impossible to get any closer to you.

He wouldn’t trade this for anything in the world and, if you were being honest, neither would you.
