Summary
Martin is a blacksmith. A quiet man with rough hands and too much silence. He’s lived alone at the edge of town, counting strikes against the anvil, naming all his favourite tools.
Then, a boy washes up on his doorstep during a tempest. Martin takes him in.
The boy is beautiful. Barefoot. Unsettlingly kind. He listens to the forge fire like it’s singing. He's curious. Strange. Also, possibly a god.
Martin does not have time for any of this, or for feelings, or the sudden all-consuming urge to be known. In fact, he tries very hard not to care, which works right up until the boy starts smiling at him like he hung the very cosmos, touching everything like it’s hallowed, and sleeping at the foot of his wingback like a stray cat. There’s tragic history Martin won’t talk about, a temple that won’t stay quiet, and a wish the boy doesn’t remember (until he does).
Or,
A god fell. A man named him.

Summary
Ryker is acting strange, and Alice helps Cecil investigate what's going on. When the answer falls into her lap, it's even more pleasant than she would have imagined.
“Okay, so here’s what’s going on,” Cecil began, setting his mug of Relax Tea on Alice’s table. “Palmo came to talk to Terry at the detective agency. Apparently, Ryker is working much harder than usual, and he’s worried about him.”
She scrunched her nose. “That’s it? That’s the myst-”
“No, no, wait! Just hear me out, okay? Palmo says that he’s been acting really out of character, and working nonstop for the past month. Not just woodworking, either - apparently, he’s been doing work all over town. All Palmo wants is an explanation! He’s worried about him. We both know Ryker, and this isn’t normal for him at all! Palmo is worried he’s sick or something.”

Alice looked at the request a few times before, with a small smile, pocketing the paper and making plans.

Summary
Much like other works I've posted. This is a complilation of short stories and requests made for the Rune Factory 5 game. Tags will be added as relationships get added. (Yes, even the gay and lesbian relationships. As stories get added.)
So if you have a specific request or pairing, drop a comment and I'll write something for you!
(In the near future, I shall be adding a NC18 RF5 request work, as well! But no smut fics will be posted to this work.)
