Summary
When everything goes disastrously wrong, Lysander ("Lys") drops everything and leaves on a whim to take over the property willed to him by his grandfather. In the quiet locale of Pelican Town the itinerant musician hopes to find friends, a dream, and the power to forgive himself for everything that happened. Running from his past and unsure of the future, he jumps headlong into any situation he encounters, relying on wit, charm, and skill to pull through, but reckless energy will only work for so long...
It's a story about love and friendship, the power and joy of music and how it inspires other people, losing those you love and gaining new ones, learning to trust someone special to you, and how to face one's past, no matter what has happened. It started out as a short story but I ended up wanting to tell a small novel after a few chapters when I realized that hey, this isn't a bad concept after all.
//Edit February 2025: Making a few changes; fixing the formatting, correcting/adding tags, and content warnings, because I didn't have them before. No changes to the content itself, just the way it looks, it should be much easier to read now. And as always, thank you for reading <3

Summary
Picking up where Rose & Sunflower finished, the story continues with a new adventure: magic has returned to Stardew Valley and it needs protectors to fight back the shadow creatures that threaten the town once again. Guardians are chosen and they must train and learn quickly in order to defeat the entity that has always returned, but this time it is stronger than it has ever been, and the fight will not be as easy as it was before... However, that doesn't mean they have to take it seriously. Irreverent, silly, and enthusiastic, the members of The Elements of Sound meet the enemy with sass, snark, and so many memes. After all, when you're a popular new musical hit, why not use your new powers to your advantage?
-This story is now complete, and book 3 is up and running over at A Different Perspective. Thanks for reading!
// EDIT MARCH 2025: Same as book 1, I've gone back and corrected all of that weird formatting, fixed some tags and links, and added CWs/TWs. As well as fixed a couple of lore errors that I didn't realize I'd made at the time. Again, no content changes, just the appearance and readability :)

Rose & Sunflower 3: A Different Perspective by Risukage
Fandoms: Stardew Valley (Video Game)
24 Oct 2020
Tags
Summary
Not much is known about Elliott prior to him moving to Pelican Town, as before he meets up with Lysander and makes friends with him and several others, he is a bit of a recluse and oddity. Starting a year before the beginning of Rose & Sunflower: The Music Within, this goes into his past and why he chose to leave a life of comfort for a lonely existence on the coast of the Gem Sea. Get a cup of coffee and join me as we have a look at events from his point of view, with a different perspective.
This story is now complete, even if it did take several years to get there. Thank you for reading! <3
Update March 2025: Same as the other works in the R&S project, CWs have been added, and formatting/errors corrected. Let me know if I missed something! :)

Summary
There have been many off-camera mentions of Lysander's and Elliott's naughty exploits in "Rose & Sunflower," but nothing beyond that, because I've been trying to keep the main story classy and "clean." Here are those chapters in full detail; some canon, and some "non-canon" ones with other characters just for fun, because there are several moments where I'm sure we all wondered, "what if..."
MUAHAHAHAHA. I AM THE BRIGHTLY BURNING PHOENIX OF THE DUMPSTER FIRE \o/
-I'll be updating this as I get ideas again, will be intermittent. I may take prompts if they're plausible and amuse me enough...-
EDIT MARCH 2025: Same as the "mainline" books, I went through and fixed/cleaned up formatting, added CWs, etc., and I promise that I'll add chapters again someday. I do have ideas, just not the spell slots to do them... </3

Rose & Sunflower: Scriptember Writing Prompts by Risukage
Fandoms: Stardew Valley (Video Game)
02 Oct 2019
Tags
Summary
This is either an attempt to get back into writing by doing daily prompts or a half-assed way to avoid finishing the last couple of chapters of the main series. Honestly not sure, I am a rolling dumpster fire and this is just more fuel.
These are prompts posted in a Discord I'm in and I'm trying to see if I can use them to further flesh out Lysander's backstory, in addition to providing small "omake theater" moments that take place within books 1-3. Each day will be marked with its own tags and warnings, as most of them are pretty chill, but a couple have big NSFW or trigger warnings. That, and some of them could be considered "spoilers" for book 1, so if you've not read it yet then you might wanna do that before diving into these. Or not, I don't pay your subscription. :P

Summary
Unhinged, unstructured, and undeniably fun, these are random ideas and vignettes that I've had in mind for a while (or, in one case, had a sudden flash of inspiration and entered a fuge state until it was complete), but haven't been able to work into a whole new work. All chapters take place after books 1 & 3, and only before book 2 if directly specified. Otherwise, all "Unsorted" chapters take place at some unspecified time after all mainline "Rose & Sunflower" books, and before/concurrently with "Old & New Flames"
I'll be updating this work as I get the ideas finished, and as inspiration strikes me for my Stardew Valley universe, instead of my other hyperfixations...

Summary
Magic has been restored to the valley, as it was before it had been locked away, and Lysander has fully recovered from the injuries that he suffered during the conflict. He and his friends have earned their Happily Ever After, and continue to find musical success as the Elements of Sound. So when an old lover of his shows up unexpectedly, who has just moved back to the home where he grew up there in town, everyone is surprised but excited to see their old friend, and to learn of the shared history between the two men. Rekindling their old friendship, and then the physical connection, Lysander couldn't be more grateful for everything and everyone in his life
...
Even if the pasts from which both he and Sterling are still trying to run are catching up to them both, and it will take all of the love and companionship that they have made with their friends and partners for them to survive what it was that set them on their respective paths, both recently and so long ago(Tags will change as the story updates)
