I hope this one isn't weird?? It's a flash forward to one of Shane's grown bio kids as an adult. So we get sappy aging Shane in it, which is nice. :) It's a divergence from most of the other fics I've done for this challenge but I hope it's an enjoyable one!

The Ao3 Collection is now UP :
When posting please use the tag:
#Dry Shanuary 2026
Prompt list again to remind everyone (particularly me).
And remember -> This is for fun, for shit and giggles, for the whimsy and to heal the soul.
So please have fun ♥
Coming up this January 2026 is the Dry Shan-uary challenge I absolutely made up but now that means it's totally a thing and you should participate.
Drawings, drabbles, ficlets, chapters, comics.... Whichever really. As long as our buddy Shane Stardew Valley is in it. (and is having a miserable time)
Thank you @visionofthebees @mongoosingisme @frienduccine @beethypie @cutethulu for brainstorming this absurdity with me.
An Ao3 collection will be made closer to the time if you're happy to keep things in one place.
Do use #dry shanuary 2026 when/if you post your lovely things. Or things.
Are you ready? Excited?!
Can’t wait to see what y'all will be coming up with!! I’ll post the link to the collection on Ao3 very soon so stay tuned.

Shane comes home from school to his drunk dad and friends.
Shane carefully puts the knife down, back on his tiptoe to hopefully place the butter back in the fridge without any sound. He hears his dad cough, his friends discuss mundane things, about how everything is getting more expensive, about how their kids are giving them white hair, about how their wives fucking suck, and how they’re constantly getting screwed by everything in their lives.
Observing them, Shane chews slowly on his buttered bread, like last night dinner, like the previous Wednesday’s lunch, until he’s tall enough to reach the toaster, or at least make his own better food, owing to himself at this point in his life that if he gets a future, he will make sure he won’t eat crap every day of the week. He’ll be better.

Jas’ parents, Callum and Farrah, have something to ask Shane.
“Can we ask you something?” Farrah starts, holding her hand up for her husband to take.
Shane lifts his head, an apprehensive look draws on his face as his two best friends now have the most serious faces he’s ever seen.
“W-what?” he hoarsely asks, a gulp echoing in the empty playground.
“You know you’re the only sad fucker we can trust.” Callum starts
“You ass.”

Shane wonders why the heck he accepted to participate in Emily’s cuckoo plan, he gets even more confused when he sees Fern is participating too.
Shane yawned, half-listening to the soul-changing nonsense Emily was spewing as always. He did have to admit, if clothes represented who they were inside, Shane’s grubby, full of holes and diverse stains, mismatched stuff he was wearing was really on the dot. He glanced at Fern, standing close to the blue-haired loon with a smile. She was wearing her usual work clothes, denim overalls on a yellow shirt, and her short hair had this feathery quality he had remarked that day she burst in the saloon to shield herself from the wind…
He shook his head, the warmth on his cheek hopefully not being too noticeable. Fern was cute, but the inspection would stop there, lest Shane started wanting things again
