- In the first few months of their marriage, Haley really tries to fit in the role of "housewife". She takes care of the house and cooks while her wife tends the farm.

- After a while, the farmer tells her "You don't have to do all this, you know. I don't expect you to be a perfect housewife". Haley just smiles and says "I know, I just like doing these things for you".

- She eventually backs off of it, helping out where needed of course, but not putting the pressure on herself to be perfect. She still bakes though, and she makes a mean sourdough.

- After settling into the farm life, Haley decides she needs a new hobby. She ends up really enjoying making jellies, pickles, and other canned food. It gives her a way to contribute to the farm while also doing her own thing.

- On days when the farmer is rushing around and overworking herself, Haley is amazing at pulling her back down to earth and encouraging her to slow down.

- She'll always make the farmer eat breakfast before she goes out to do her work, even when she swears up and down that she's not hungry. Haley will just roll her eyes and hand her an apple. "I'm not going to drag you out of those creepy mines if you pass out down there, so you better eat something".

Thank you for this request, Anon. Sorry it took so long to get to it!

Shane | Flower Dance

Shane was going to skip the Flower Dance this year. He was still in bed when Jas came in wearing her white lace dress and begged him to go. Unable to refuse her, he pulled himself up, got dressed, and walked with her and Marnie to the dance.

He did what he always did at this festival; enjoyed the free food and kept to himself. He exchanged some pleasantries with a few neighbors before Emily came running up to him, a beaming smile on her face.

"I have a request for you! You're going to say no, but I'm going to ask anyways" she said, slightly out of breath. She was excited about something.

"Go for it"

"Ask the new farmer to dance with you"

"... No."

Emily's smile didn't falter for a second.

"You should! I was talking to them just a bit ago and they expressed interest in you"

Shane frowned. He'd talked to the farmer maybe twice ever, and he hadn't really thought much of them.

"How did that even come up?" He asked skeptically.

Emily smoothed out her hair.

"To be honest, I was about to ask them myself, but they started asking about you and if you were seeing anybody. Which of course I said no. So you should ask them!"

Shane snuck a look at the farmer. They were conversing with Leah and Elliott.

All these good looking people in town, and they're asking about me?

"Yeah, uh, I don't know" he grumbled. He muttered something about needing a drink and walked away.

He was pouring a cup of salmonberry wine when the farmer caught up to him.

"I've been wanting to try my hand at making wine" They said.

Shane didn't say anything. What was he supposed to do?

"Who made that wine? Maybe I can get some tips"

"Uh, I think Pierre's wife made it" he replied.

That seemed to be the end of the conversation. The farmer turned away to get a plate of food, and Shane was left alone.

He was starting to wonder if he should've just asked the farmer to dance with him when Mayor Lewis spoke up.

"The dance is about to begin! Dancers, please pair up and get in line"

Shane sighed and finished off his wine, his eyes searching for Emily's bright blue hair in the scattering of people.

"Would you want to dance with me?"

Shane turned around and faced the farmer who was looking at him in earnest. He considered telling them that he already had a partner, but then thought better of it.

"Uh... Sure"

The farmer beamed, then grabbed his hand before he could change his mind. They led him to the field where the other young people in town were gathering. When Emily caught sight of Shane, hand in hand with the farmer, she gave him a double thumbs up and slunk to the sidelines.

Sam: He and the farmer are hanging out in the saloon on a Friday night, much later than they'd usually be out. Abigail and Sebastian had already left a long time ago, but Sam and the farmer were just so caught up in flirting with each other, they hadn't even noticed they left. When Gus finally kicks them out, it's dark out, even the street lamps are off. When the farmer gets visibly shaken by the darkness, Sam puts his arm around their shoulders. "Trust me, I get it. My dad's the same way about open spaces. I got you". He walks the farmer back home, making sure their porch light is on. "Y'know, it's pretty late. Mind if I just crash here?" he asks. The farmer chuckles, "Sure, as long as you don't mind my nightlight".

Sebastian: It's a stormy evening in the spring, far too rainy to get any farm chores done, so the farmer takes advantage of the spare time to hang out with Sebastian. They were lazily flipping through the channels when the power went out. Being in the basement room without windows, there wasn't even a hint of light. The farmer starts to panic, feeling around for anything to ground them. "Woah, what's going on?" Sebastian asks. "It's the dark, I don't like dark". The farmer's breathing starts speeding up. Sebastian feels around until he finds their hand. "I have a flashlight on my desk, hold on". He gives the farmer's hand a squeeze before getting up. He crashes around for a minute, then there's a beam of light on the floor. "Here you go" he says, handing the flashlight to the farmer. Less than a minute later, the power comes back on.

Haley | Stardrop Saloon

Music played from the jukebox; a glittery, hypnotic kind of sound that Emily likes to dance to. Haley felt out of place at the Saloon. She disliked going there even on quiet evenings, but tonight was bustling louder than usual in celebration of Emily's birthday. The bar was decorated with bright paper flowers that Emily had been making for weeks, and Gus had baked a pink cake for the occasion. Haley sat alone at a bar table letting Emily do her thing. She'd asked Alex to come with her that night, but he was busy helping his grandma make cookies.

"Mind if I sit here?"

Haley looked up to see the farmer standing above her. They had a ginger ale in hand and were still in their muddy farming clothes.

"Yeah, sure" she said, trying to sound nonchalant. The farmer had only been in Stardew Valley for a few weeks, and she'd only spoken to them a couple of times since then. Admittedly, she hadn't been very nice to them either. Emily had chastised her for saying something insulting to them on their first meeting, though Haley couldn't even remember what she'd said. Whatever it was, it didn't deter the farm from sitting in the seat across from her.

"I didn't realize you were friends with my sister"

The farmer swirled their drink in their hand, watching the bubbles fizz up.

"Well, kinda. I'm still getting to know everybody," they said, somewhat bashfully, "It was nice of her to invite me, though".

Haley frowned, feeling a twinge of guilt for being standoffish before.

"Yeah, that's Emily for you"

The conversation ended there. They say without talking for a time until the farmer finished their drink.

"I'm going up to the bar, can I buy you a drink?"

Haley looked up, astonished.

"You don't have to do that" she said, suddenly flustered.

"Please, I insist!" The farmer beamed.

Haley felt herself blush.

"How about I go with you. We can get a slice of cake while we're at it"

Sebastian | Haunted Maze

The farmer arrived at the Spirit's Eve Festival with the intention of saying a quick hello to their friends, maybe buying something from Pierre's stand, and leaving early. There were only a few days left before winter after all, and they were rushing to get everything done before the snow started falling. 

After a few brief conversation with the townsfolk, the farmer poured themselves a mug pumpkin ale and sighed, exhausted from a full day's work. 

"Don't tell me you're skipping the haunted maze" 

The farmer turned around to see Sebastian standing behind them, his hands in the pockets of his hoodie. 

They felt their heart rate speed up. They hadn't spent a lot of time talking to Sebastian before, but he'd caught their eye almost immediately after moving to the valley. Until now, they'd assumed he'd been wholey uninterested in getting to know them. 

"It's not really my thing" the farmer replied, hoping they could blame their flushing cheeks on the chilly air.

The corners of Sebastian's mouth twitched; a strange sort of smile. 

"Yeah, me neither. This one's pretty good, though. I'll do it with you" 

The farmer was taken aback, but agreed anyway. Together they entered the maze of shrubbery and began slowly navigating the path. 

"Y'know, most people assume Spirit's Eve is my favorite festival, but it's actually not" Sebastian said as they walked. 

"Yeah? What's your favorite then?" The farmer asked. They weren't sure what made Sebastian want to accompany them tonight, but they weren't going to complain. They'd been trying to get his attention for weeks now, offering him produce from their farm. All they'd ever gotten was a terse "thanks". 

"My favorite is the Moonlight Jellies. There's something so peaceful about it" 

The farmer nodded. 

"I really enjoyed that one. It was beautiful" 

Sebastian kept walking, his eyes darting around the maze. 

"I think so too" he said quietly. 

His hand closest to the farmer had slipped from his pocket. It was so close to the farmer's own hand that they could practically feel the static touch. 

They turned a corner. 

"Haven't we seen this shrub before?" The farmer asked with a chuckle. 

Silently, their hands intertwined together, Sebastian's lanky fingers weaved between the farmer's dirty and calloused ones. 

Harvey | Flower Dance

The spring air, full of pollen and sweet, upbeat music felt refreshing. The Flower Dance wasn't Harvey's favorite festival, but it was a nice chance to get out of the clinic for a day and enjoy the season. Maru stood beside him, pulling on the collar of her white Flower dress.

"I should've ironed this yesterday. It's crinkled from being in the closet all year" she said, mostly to herself.

Harvey wasn't listening anyway. His attention had shifted the moment the farmer arrived at the festival. Still in their muddy overalls, they looked breathless and slightly out of place. It'd only been a few weeks since they moved to Stardew Valley, but they'd caught his eye the moment they'd met.

He must've been staring too long, because Maru cleared her throat and cocked an eyebrow up.

"You should ask the farmer to dance with you this year" she said, giving him a little poke in the arm.

Harvey felt himself blush.

"Oh, nonsense, we've only spoken a handful of times. Besides, I already told you I'd dance with you!"

Maru clicked her tounge.

"If you don't, I will! Seriously though, I've seen the way you look at them. They even brought you coffee the other day! Just ask!"

Courage was starting to build up, and he made up his mind. If the farmer came to talk to him (which it looked as if they were saying hello to everyone in town), then he'd ask them to dance.

As expected, the farmer made a few more stops to talk to the neighbors, then made their way over to where Harvey and Maru were standing.

"Hi!" They greeted excitedly, "It's such a beautiful spring day. Are you excited for the dance?"

Harvey opened his mouth to ask his question, but froze. Maru jumped in.

"I like dancing, but this one is a little stilted. The old timers really love it, though"

The farmer smiled and nodded. Maru tucked a braid behind her ear, and for a moment Harvey thought she was going to ask the farmer to dance before he could.

The farmer turned to him, a bright smile still on their face.

"How about you, Doctor? You look kinda anxious"

His blushing must've been obvious. He bit the inside of his cheek and decided to go for it.

"I'm working up the courage to ask someone to dance with me" he said.

The farmer frowned, but only for a moment.

"Oh, well this might be awkward now, but I was actually hoping you would dance with me"

Joy, relief, and a tinge of embarrassment flooded over Harvey (He's a doctor, for Yoba's sake! He shouldn't be cowering like a schoolboy over asking someone to dance!).

"Oh! You... want to dance with me? Yes. I'd love to!"

The farmer grabbed him by the arm.

Let's try a new game! Send me an ask with a color from my list of prompts and the bachelor or bachelorette of your choosing and I'll write a little blurb for the pairing (Ex. Haley/Yellow). All farmers will be written as GN unless otherwise specified. Please send one at a time so I can give each one my all!

Blue: Feast of the Winter Star

Yellow: Ginger Island

Green: Unexpected Gift

White: Flower Dance

Orange: Calico Desert

Brown: Stardrop Saloon

Purple: Mermaid Pendant

Black: Haunted Maze 

Red: Emergency Clinic

Pink: Favorite Meal 

I got carried away with this one! Thank you for this request!

Definitely! For what it's worth, this is my favorite kind of pairing for him.

- Alex enjoys having a partner that's smarter than him, so much so that sometimes he'll play dumb just to get the farmer's attention.

- It ends with both of them laughing at him, because of course she knows that he knows how to work the microwave.

- In a lot of the relationships and friendships that Alex has had throughout his life, the dynamic has always been to tease the other person. But with the farmer, she's the one who teases him, and he absolutely adores it.

- He gets a kick out of being a little annoying on purpose just to see her roll her eyes and smile at him.

- When they're out in public though, it's very different. He's her advocate when she has a hard time speaking up ("Excuse me, she asked for NO pickles"), and he doesn't mind carrying her shopping bags from the book store.

- In turn, she takes care of him. She spoils him with farm-fresh eggs, writes tiny love notes to hide in his locker at the spa, and encourages him to spend more time with his grandparents.

Certainly! I based these off of traditional Western/American weddings, I hope that's what you had in mind :-)

- His proposal was exceptionally romantic (though he thinks it was a bit cliché). He had a plane fly above your farm carrying a banner that said "*Farmer*, will you marry me?"

- You were so distracted with your farming that Harvey had to point it out to you. You just about tackled him to the ground as you said yes!

- I'd like to say that Harvey is a hands-off, go with the flow kind of groom. But alas, he's very excited to be involved with the wedding planning process.

- Now he's not a groomzilla by any means, but he certainly has opinions and visions for the big day.

- His biggest asks are that wine is served at the reception (bonus points if it comes from your farm), that your first dance could be to his favorite jazz artist, and of course that you say I do.

- You were going to fight him on the jazz one, but the way his eyes sparkled while talking about the wedding made him impossible to say no to.

- For the wedding, you gifted him a small, silver pin shaped like an airplane. Not only to symbolize his love for planes, but also as a meaningful nod to his proposal. He wore it on his tie for the entire celebration, and now keeps it pinned on his lapel at all times.

Alex: He'd probably stumble upon the farmer while on a morning run or something. He'd give a quick check to make sure they were okay, but not really think anything of it. The farmer's done way weirder things than sleep in the middle of the town plaza (dumpster diving, for example).

Elliott: He'd actually wake the farmer up gently and make sure they weren't hurt. He would then walk them home and make sure they got safely into bed. He'd also be vigilant in the evenings from then on. If he noticed the farmer fishing late into the night, he'd remind them of the time and ensure they made it home.

Harvey: He'd initially be startled, but would then go into a full body check up. Once he knew they were just fine, he'd wake them up, double check that they're okay, and then give them a gentle, but firm lecture on the dangers of not getting enough sleep.

Sam: "Yo, farmer, you good?". He'd say it loud enough to wake them up. If he's feeling polite he'd help them up and offer to buy them a coffee. Depending on their friendship level, he might try and jump them on his skateboard before waking them up.

Sebastian: He wouldn't hesitate to shake them awake and make sure they weren't injured or anything. As long as they're all good, he'd walk away and brush it off. Maybe that's normal for farmers, who knows?

Shane: He'd just walk away...

I'm always happy to spread some Alex love.

- Alex is surprisingly sentimental. He keeps every birthday card from his grandma, every ticket stub from the gridball games he sees, even little things like lucky pennies he finds on the ground.

- This of course extends to the farmer, where he keeps every little gift they give him (unless he eats it, that is).

- He's also got a soft spot for anything that was his mother's. There isn't much, but he's got a special drawer of odd things that came from her: lace handkerchiefs, a pearl necklace, an empty bottle of her perfume.

- The littlest things always bring him the most comfort.

- No one tell Haley, but Dusty is Alex's real best friend. He adores that dog more than anything.

- If no one's around, he fawns over him with babytalk and praises. Dusty brings him a lot of joy and also a lot of comfort, especially when he's feeling mournful.

- Another secret of his is that he's got a beautiful singing voice. He doesn't sing very often, but when he does you'd think you'd be hearing Yoba itself.

- Alex keeps that voice hidden away, even from his grandparents. But if the farmer marries him they might catch the sound of his sweet, melodic voice singing their child to sleep.

- I'd imagine he's pretty freaked out about one baby, let alone two.

- So when they get their first sonogram and find out they're having twins, let's just say that Shane.exe has stopped working.

- He goes silent for a minute, his mouth hanging open. Then he says "Excuse me for a moment" and walks out of the clinic.

-"Um, congratulations to you both" Dr. Harvey says to the farmer before they go search down Shane.

- The farmer finds him at Pierre's looking at the diapers. They ask him what the hell he's doing and he says "Oh, you know, thinking about how we're going to afford two kids at once. I'll probably have to sell one of my organs. Maybe one of my kidneys, 'cause I know my liver's no good"

- He says it so calmly which makes the farmer laugh. "I think we'll manage without the black market" they assure him.

- His freak out doesn't last long. Sure, he has moments where he's flustered, but he spends a lot of time preparing himself and the farmhouse.

- He fusses over the farmer a lot, making sure they don't overwork themselves or get into any danger. By the end of the pregnancy he's doing most of the farm work.
