    Summary

    It wasn’t like she hated Alex. He was just a stuck-up, self-absorbed, handsome, shit-eating jerk.

    -

    Pelican Town was supposed to be a fresh start, a reprieve from the rut Jade had managed to dig herself. She was going to focus on the farm, turn it into something extraordinary, and really make something of herself after years of putting herself last.

    She didn't count on finding a kindred spirit in loneliness, and she certainly didn't expect it to come from the most annoying guy in all of Stardew Valley.

    Or: two stubborn, emotionally challenged try-hards attempt to navigate life not going the way they expected it to while falling in love with each other.
