I've uploaded enough to AO3 to justify a pinned post about it, isn't that fuckin wild?
Hi, I'm Hully! I used to be "tapioooca" on here, if you're confused about why you're following me.
I've been a hobbyist writer since I figured out how to string letters together. I started writing Stardew fic in late 2024 and it's consumed an alarming percentage of my life. There's a bunch of links to them under the read more.
⛏️ Cave System 🗡️ 1. Blue Morning, Blue Morning (T) - Harvey/farmer - complete Loneliness is a tricky thing, getting comfortable in long-forgotten cracks and blocking the light. Stardew Valley’s new farmer and resident doctor don’t know how to combat it, but they could learn, as long as a connection to the Adventurers Guild doesn’t get in the way. 2. Walk Along These Hillsides (T) - Harvey/farmer (and others) - complete A collection of interconnected one-shots, all taking place during and immediately after Blue Morning, Blue Morning. 3. Mind the Vultures (T) - Gil/Marlon - complete Pelican Town was in trouble without the mines. That much was clear to the whole community, the way the uncertain future constantly moaned under their floorboards and flaked down from their rafters. Some residents were resigned to let the void spirits claim the caves for themselves, encouraged by a short-sighted mayor and an avalanche of bad publicity. Others would not let go of their home so easily, grabbing for whatever their hands could carry. From that determination, a team came together: the aimless community builder, the former miner with a family to feed, the florist with deep-rooted morals, the farmer who became one with the soil, the archeologist who kept everything buried, and the drifter who fell desperately in love with him. 4. Cracking the Stones (T) - Marlon & farmer - complete Running from the past isn’t sustainable. Fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives for those who are able and willing to find them. 5. Many Happy Returns (T) - Marlon & farmer - complete It doesn’t matter how a person carries their undeniable truths, whether they build nests for them with the sturdiest branches or leave them in the dirt to tug at their bootlaces. There’s always a chance that the wind will rush in to disturb them. Grief can always crawl its way back. 6. coming July 2026 My Bonus Caves series has a ton of side stories about the Cave System squad, if you're interested in extra lore, or just prefer oneshots to longfics.
You might also like my contributions to the SDV Writer's Guild's Weekly Word Challenge, which take place in the Cave System universe, but often don't involve the main cast. All of these fics are under 1k words long.
——————————— 🍃 Other Series 🍃
If you're in the mood for something short that has nothing to do with Cave System, there's Snack Time, which is where all of my miscellaneous sub-1k ficlets have been corralled.
I also have Drabble Poems for -- shockingly enough -- drabbles that are also poems. Not all of the fics in this series are Stardew. ——————————— 🌿 Other Works 🌿 All That You Want and More (T) - Jas & Shane - oneshot Shane lost his best friends two weeks ago. He wonders if there's anything in his future worth gaining.
Art Talk (G) - Haley/Leah - oneshot Leah and Haley meet up to chat about their work. Just their work. Definitely not anything else.
Drabble Roundup (T) - assorted pairings - incomplete, updates sporadically A probably-never-ending collection of drabbles. Chapters are titled with the featured relationship (or characters).
Get Yourself Free (M) - Gus/Marnie - oneshot It can be hard to know how to leave a bad situation. Thankfully, bartenders have a lot of wisdom to offer.
I've Gotten Good at Making Up Metaphors (T) - Elliott/Shane - oneshot When Elliott gets Jas interested in writing, her work doesn’t cast Shane in the best light. If These Walls Could Talk (M) - assorted rarepairs - complete The Stardrop Saloon has seen a number of budding love stories, some just now finding their footing, some walking in circles for years. It remained a comforting, quiet place to drink away the longing and uncertainty, until the night that they all converged. Inktober 2025 Anthology (T) - assorted rarepairs - complete Autumn brings a lot of change. Some feel it gently, like the sunrise coming to greet the fallen leaves. For others, it's a brisk wind that rushes right to the heart. Joie de vivre (G) - Elliott/Wizard - oneshot Elliott’s literary career wasn’t the only thing that got its start during his first year in Pelican Town.
Microfic May 2026 Anthology - majority gen - complete A collection of unconnected fifty-word fics written for Microfic May.
Sand (G) - gen - oneshot The harrowing account of one man’s attempt to clean his house.
