    Summary

    “He was born. He was pointless. And he should’ve died.”

    Michael Shelley knows very little. The main points of his knowledge can be summarised as follows:

    One: He is, as far as he knows, still Michael–although this is dubious, and perhaps does not count.
    Two: The world that he lives in is not what he thought it was. It never has been, and it never will be again.
    Three: He cannot, in any circumstances from now until the end of days, trust Gertrude Robinson.

    An AU in which the Great Twisting crumbled before Michael could be consumed by The Distortion–and he emerges, alive and angry about it. Alternatively, an AU in which Gertrude begins to work on her theories about the rituals much, much earlier, and Gerry finds himself chasing the mystery that is Michael Shelley.

    Summary

    After his best friend dies in a tragic workplace accident, Apollo is desperate for an escape. He takes a sabbatical from his law job, packs up his apartment, and moves to his foster father’s old abandoned farm in Stardew Valley. What he’s looking for is a change of scenery, a project he can sink his teeth into to distract himself from the suffocating weight of Clay’s loss. What he finds is Trucy Wright, his teenage neighbour hellbent on inserting herself into his life, and Klavier Gavin, a famous musician who knows exactly what it’s like to want to hide from your problems.

    Apollo doesn’t need friends and he certainly doesn’t need a boyfriend. If he doesn’t let anyone get close, then he won’t get hurt again when they inevitably leave him behind. Besides, he only intends to stay on the farm for a couple of seasons anyway. Why allow himself to get attached to people he’s only going to lose? Why fall for Klavier when he’s only going to break his heart?

    However, as Apollo will soon learn, time really does heal all wounds, and love has a way of taking root whether you want it to or not.

    (Stardew Valley AU. Written for the Klapollo Minibang 2025.)
