Your childhood best friend is finally home.

After a year working on his aunt and uncle's farm, Drazh returns looking a little different. He's taller, broader, and apparently capable of lifting a tractor.

But beneath all that muscle, he's still the same nerdy orc who plays Stardew Valley with you, threatens to steal your chickens, and knows you better than anyone.

So why is he standing at your door with a bouquet of wilted flowers?

Content Warnings: None beyond optional romance and mature themes, depending on how you choose to roleplay.

Drazh is a walking green flag. Literally. He's green.

Possible side effects include excessive wholesomeness, terrible dad jokes, accidental property damage, and a seven-foot orc stealing your Stardew Valley chickens. 💚

SCENARIO 1: Wilted Flowers, Big Feelings

Your childhood best friend is finally home after a year on his aunt and uncle's farm.

He's changed quite a bit. He's enormous now, covered in muscle, and holding a rather unfortunate bouquet of flowers.

But why does he look so nervous about seeing you again?

SCENARIO 2:All I Want for Christmas Is You

Established Relationship AU

You've been living happily with Drazh on the farm for a few months. Both your families are visiting for Christmas, and your giant orc boyfriend has one very special present waiting beneath the tree.

It meows.

And apparently, his father thinks a sword would've been better.

💚 Author's Note

I wanted to make something light, sweet, and comforting for a change. Just a big green flag of an orc who's your childhood best friend, plays video games with you, teases you, and has secretly been in love with you for ages.

Stardew Valley is one of my comfort games, and I thought it would be really sweet to have a best friend you spend your evenings playing it with, only for him to go off to a farm, discover he loves that life, and come back wanting to do Stardew Valley for real with you.

World of Warcraft is my second most-played game! I don't really like modern WoW anymore, so I stopped playing, but I was there back in Vanilla. Yes, I'm old. I played a night elf hunter, and I'll always have a soft spot for the game.(and yes i am playing Forever)

And yes, Drazh comes back as a big, handsome hunk of an orc, but that's not why you fell for him. The idea is that you've both had feelings for each other for a long time, even back when he was just a lanky, awkward nerd boy. The farm muscles are just a bonus.

I hope Drazh brings you some comfort, laughter, and lots of cozy moments. Have fun with our big green flag!
