Summary
The Erikson siblings returned to Stardew Valley with a straightforward plan: to patch up their late grandfather’s decrepit cottage, sell it to a city slicker chasing “rustic charm,” and never look back. Easy. Except the roof leaks, the foundation’s shot, the yard is a jungle, and three weeks later they’re still here—broke, stuck, and rain-soaked. Vivian Erikson finds herself caught between the shadow of her past, the ever-moving goal post of her mother’s approval, and something more beautiful on the horizon.
Pelican Town wasn’t supposed to be home. But between Friday nights at the saloon, festivals that refuse to be ignored, and neighbors with more drama than sense, the Eriksons find themselves tangled in rivalries, heartbreaks, and the kind of small-town chaos that has a way of getting under your skin. Somewhere in the mess, they begin to wonder if leaving is really the plan at all.

Summary
"Ooh, let the light in
At your back door yelling 'cause I wanna come in
Ooh, turn your light on
Look at us, you and I, back at it again"Penny Anderson seems like she has her life together, for the most part. She sticks to a routine, day after day. Tutoring the neighborhood kids, cleaning the trailer so her mother doesn't get angry, wearing the same yellow blouse and orange skirt with her hair fixated in buns on either side of her head, and reading every book the library has to offer. Though, something gnaws on her in the back of her mind; she's never been in love.
Shane McCannon absolutely does not have his life together. Everyday he struggles to keep himself afloat, tending to ruin anything he touches. So, when his dead friends entrusted him with caring for their daughter, he decided to dedicate his life to making sure he does not ruin this one thing. He keeps his head down and stays out of the way. That is, until his goddaughter's teacher decides to crawl into his brain and bury herself there.Will update tags as I post

Summary
Sam feels like a fish out of water in Zuzu City; new college, new job, a new sense of freedom that he isn't sure he likes as much as he expected to. What's worse is that his manager takes an immediate disliking to him, and won't seem to let it go.
It's a little funny that the guy shares a name with Sam's ex-best friend. The two of them are nothing alike.
