    Summary

    Tessa decides to drop everything and move away to her grandfather's farm right outside of Pelican Town in Stardew Valley. She has no idea how to be a farmer and she's in way over her head, but anything has to be better than her monotonous job at Joja, and she's sick of not finding her place in the world and hopes she can create it on the unkept farm.

    Shane just wants to be left alone, but the new farmer that moved into Stardew Farm is the most persistent person he's ever met. And the worst part? She's actually nice to him. When she looks at him she doesn't do so with the intention of trying to see through him, or look down on him, she only sees him, and for some reason finds something worth looking at.

    Summary

    “You’ve spent the last however many months barely able to look at me without scowling and now you’re paying me compliments simply because I rushed in and did something utterly moronic and dangerous," Bilbo said. "It doesn’t follow.”

    “It does if you’re a dwarf,” he said beginning to grin.

    Fem!Bilbo/Thorin have a conversation. Quite possibly their first actual conversation. Set post-eagle flight and the battle with Azog. UST.

    Summary

    AU in which Will receives a secret admirer with a penchant for writing him poetry and slaughtering the innocent in artistic fashions. No one ever told him that courtship was so bloody or appealing -rather, so bloody appealing? He's a part-time bartender that can't catch a break, but at least he has one loyal customer who doesn't seem to mind bouncing from restaurant to bar to restaurant in order to have his favorite drink made by his favorite person.

    There couldn't be a correlation though; Dr. Lecter is an upstanding psychiatrist that just likes his drinks served a certain way, and the Chesapeake Ripper keeps sending love letters in the hopes of one day eating him. One is, quite frankly, flattering, the other...

    Will isn't stupid enough to tell anyone that it's also equally flattering, albeit horrifying at the same time. It's up for interpretation.

    Right?

    Summary

    You come across Anakin sitting in the showers, clothed, wet and shivering. You decide to sit down next to him and talk while the blue lights flicker above you, the only light in the dark room. You also decide to become his friend.

    Only that Anakin can’t be fixed just by offering your friendship. He can’t be saved through nothing but kindness. And you’d learn that all on your own in due time.

    Summary

    If Anakin could be anyone, truly got to choose freely - then, he would have been anyone but Anakin Skywalker.

    However, if he hadn’t been born Anakin Skywalker, he would never have met you and you would never have met him. So, it’s fine. It has to be.

    Because when you look at him, he knows you don’t see the milk carton boy; taken from his mother and held captive for six years. You don’t see a broken window frame or a waste of potential.

    You just see him.

    But he can’t get you to stay. You always go, and Anakin doesn’t know how long he’ll be able to take it. What he’s going to do.
