summer has arrived

As the last of the sakura blossoms fall away and the leaves on the trees grow into ever more vibrant greens, the familiar buzz of cicadas begins to echo all throughout the isle. Summer is quickly approaching and bringing brighter days and blazing temperatures along with it.

Summer also signals the start of the wine production season. Grapes growing on trellises are a common sight on Crescentview during the summer and a notice on the town memo board from the local barkeep encourages farmers to consider growing some varietal grapes of their own.

Temperatures are rising, so put on a comfortable pair of shorts and head to the Town Plaza to see what’s cooking! While you’re at it, take a look at the calendar for Summer 1st through 15th.

This season’s crops are corn, onion, pumpkin, watermelon, and pineapple. Summer’s seasonal flowers are poppy, rose, sunflower, lily, and hydrangea. As for mushrooms, shimeji, trumpet, and common brown spores are available for the summer.

hot! ...or not

Posted prominently at the top of the Memo Board is a cartoonishly-written advertisement for the first annual Hot or Not hosted by the Goddess herself. Contestants will take to the stage while the audience votes on whether they are as hot as the blazing sun or cooler than a dead fish. Leave your egos at the door! ICly, this event takes place on Summer 8th.

task board

The task board is located in Town Square and changes from season to season. In real time, a season is one month long. The following tasks are available from January 1st to February 1st and more tasks may be added mid-month.

Certain rewards are only available through event participation, so please keep this in mind when planning your threads. Multiple tasks may be completed within a single thread, but when turning in, please link to the individual tags in which each task was completed.

Finally, rewards are per character, not per farm, so those with housemates may want to coordinate with one another with regard to what animals you’re bringing home to your farm.

---

This month’s tasks are centered around getting to know your fellow neighbors on a deeper level. As such, the Goddess has put together a small human scavenger hunt to encourage people to learn more about the people they are living with — and hopefully falling in love with.

Find someone who...

1. Was born in the summer
2. Pours milk into their bowl before the cereal
3. Plays a musical instrument
4. Has more than 3 siblings
5. Works out 5 times a week or more
6. Doesn’t like animals
7. Would like to date the Harvest Goddess
8. Has traveled around the world
9. Speaks two or more languages
10. Is wearing socks that aren’t black or white

Each submission will earn you two random bags of summer seeds. Specify whether you want crop, flower, or mushroom spores in your submission. This task can be completed a total of 10 times.

---

Many ingredients used in wine production grow in the summer, but so do a variety of tea plants and grains. Grapes, tea shrubs and grains like wheat and barley can all be grown on your farm or in your greenhouse, if you have one.

Complete the following tasks to earn yourself some nice beverage-producing crops for the farm:

1. Take something from last month’s harvest and gift it to a neighbor. You can give it to them directly, cook it into a meal, etc. Alternatively, craft them a bouquet, flower crown, or another gift from the flowers you grew last season. Complete 3 times for a total of 6 grape starters.

2. Share a piece of hot gossip with a neighbor or exchange secrets with them. It doesn’t have to be your secret! Complete 3 times for a total of 6 tea starters.

3. Exercise with someone. Go on a run, swim in the ocean, help them stretch out! Complete 3 times for a total of 6 grain crops. You may choose from wheat, barley, rye, or rice.

---

Summer is the perfect time to hang out on the beach and splash around in the ocean. Participate in some summer fun at the beach and earn more animals for your barn and coop.

1. Swim in the ocean, build a sandcastle, or bury someone in the sand. Do any of the following for one of the following animals: cow, sheep, alpaca, or goat. This task can be completed once.

2. Participate in Hot or Not. It’s an annual tradition! Submit yourself or comment on someone else for a single chicken or rabbit. This task can be completed once.

local happenings

The Crescentview Times newspaper has chronicled the latest happenings around the island. A physical copy of the paper will arrive on your doorstep early in the morning on Summer 1st.

Recently, a group of townspeople have taken it upon themselves to check out the abandoned mine. They’ve made good headway on opening up the path in the hopes that would-be explorers will be able to take to the mines and find some of Crescentview’s fabled gems and minerals buried in its depths. They expect to be done by Summer 15th.

A strange “gurgling whisper” has been reported by some concerned townsfolk living in the mountains. The concerning sounds are coming from one of the lakes at the foot of the mountain. Supposedly, the voice is asking for offerings of... something. The townsfolk have yet to identify what exactly is being asked for.

A hurricane has been brewing off the southern coast of Crescentview. Meteorologists have yet to determine whether the hurricane will make landfall or not, so stay tuned for more updates.

[ When Tighnari pulls away, Cyno tenses up until it becomes clear that it's just to remove his shirt. For a moment, it felt almost as if his heart stopped beating. Thankfully, just a while later it's apparent that there's nothing to worry about. Feeling safe in Tighnari's arms, he lets his hands roam across the forest watcher's chest and abdomen. ]

Many years. I was worried that I might act rash around you, but our agreement helped a little bit.

[ It's better that Tighnari doesn't know how many times Cyno was on the verge of pulling him into an embace and seal their lips in a kiss, ignoring their circumstances and their duties. ]

[ cyno's hands move over his skin with confidence, and tighnari hums softly, arching his back to better press into that touch. his hands are so warm.. it feels so good to finally be touched by him, after so long spent waiting, so much time spent yearning.. ]

I wanted you, too..

[ he murmurs, both hands mirroring cyno's now, moving down over his chest, his thickened fingerpads drawing against bronze skin, teasing over his nipples and down, before one hand brazenly dives between their bodies, grasping at the warm shape of cyno's cock through his clothing. ]

I've thought of this for a long time..

A long time? [ A rather audible gasp slips past his lips when Tighnari's hand cup his bulge. ] Mmm... When have you been thinking about this?

[ There's something oddly satisfying about occupying Tighnari's mind during the ranger's meeting or while filling the documents, but rather than make assumptions, he wants to hear it from him. ]

I certainly didn't feel too lonely on cold, desert nights...

[ Cyno doubts that Tighnari needs any encouragement to share this kind of information, yet he feels the need to say it anyway. In the meantime, his hand slips under Tighnari's pants and underwear. When Cyno's fingertips brush over his cock for the first time, he lets out a soft sigh and his cheeks flush. ]

[ cyno's already feeling a little hard beneath his hand, tighnari can feel it even through his shorts, and it's enough to make him tense up with anticipation. he bites down hard on his lower lip, catching it between sharp fangs. ]

I.. thought of you when I was alone, at night.

[ it should be embarrassing to admit, but.. tighnari doesn't embarrass easily. this is all true, he wants cyno, he's wanted cyno for a long time, why should he be ashamed to admit it? then, cyno's hand is diving boldly down the front of his underclothes, rough fingertips brushing his cock, and tighnari gasps, his hips twitching forward, his length stirring against cyno's touch. ]

And when I'm - mm - when I'm in season..

I see.

[ It's an amusingly curt answer, but what doesn't get expressed with words is reflected in Cyno's eyes, currently clouded with unspeakable hunger and admiration. He truly appreciates Tighnari for being so forward, even if these statements don't fail to make his blush turn much brighter. ]

I can't count the times I touched myself thinking of you.

[ After saying that, Cyno pulls Tighnari's cock out while looking him directly in the eyes. ]

How many times I came with your name on my lips...

Cyno..

[ hearing those words while cyno looks him directly in the eye - it effects him deeply, and cyno will feel tighnari's cock twitch against his palm, and hear his breath rush quickly, heat rising to his cheeks, flushing into his ears. his imagination is quite good, it's easy for him to imagine it in his mind's eye, to see cyno, flung beautifully back against his bed, coming against his own palm, tighnari's name on his tongue.

pitching forward, tighnari touches their brows together, while his hand dives down the front of cyno's shorts at last, squeezing his cock, feeling the weight of it against his palm. he feels so good, warm and heavy and silky, and tighnari's fingers explore him freely, learning the shape of him, his thumb swiping over cyno's tip. ]

You don't have to think about it, now. I'm here.

Mnn...

[ A soft moan slips past Cyno's slightly parted lips and the cock in Tighnari's palm twitches. General Mahamatra seems to be quite responsive and touch-starved considering how reactive his body is. Cyno presses a few gentle kisses against Tighnari's forehead and cheeks, smiling to himself while at it. ]

You're even going to take care of the touching part...

[ His voice is much softer than before and Tighnari's thumb coaxes another groan out. ]

You're spoiling me.

I'm not spoiling you.

[ he chuckles softly, breathlessly, pulling cyno's cock now in slow, purposeful strokes, his fingers squeezing. ]

I'm giving you just what you deserve.

[ cyno has been waiting for this for a long time, after all, and there's no shame in enjoying himself, in allowing tighnari to touch him, and please him. with a soft, breathy sigh, tighnari rocks their hips together, his ears pinning back as he drags kisses along cyno's cheek and jaw, breathing hot directly against his ear. ]

Tell me what you want.

If this isn't spoiling... [ A sharp gasp finds a way out after one of Tighnari's squeezes, leaving Cyno holding himself back less with every move. ] Then... I can't imagine what spoiling must be like...

[ If this is what he deserves, then Tighnari is fully justified to get as much if not more. The kisses are pretty distracting, but he manages to wrap his fingers around the base of the forest watcher's cock. ]

I want us... both to come... together. Just from touching.

[ tighnari hums against cyno's ear, his eyes closed and his ears folded, his tail flicking back and forth behind him as he rocks his hips into cyno's touch. ]

I'll show you how I'll spoil you when we go to bed tonight.

[ he purrs, his voice dark and low and full of wicked promise. but for now, he wants to give cyno just what he wants. shifting deeper into his lap, tighnari opens his hand further so he can encompass them both, their cocks sliding together, slick with precome, his fingers wrapping around them both. ]

I'm so sleepy all of a sudden.

[ Cyno lets out a soft, brief laugh, clearly wanting to let Tighnari know how much he wants that. What he doesn't say, however, is that he won't allow Nari to be the only one doing the spoiling. Still, he doesn't get to think much about the near future, not when they're both rocking their hips to the same rhythm and Tighnari's fingers offering pressure that leaves Cyno panting, his tongue slightly sticking out. ]

Nari... I'm getting close...

So am I..

[ the friction is enough, feeling the texture of cyno's thick, hot cock against his own, the way slippery beneath his hands for all the precome they've leaked - tighnari's hand moves easily, pulling, stroking, squeezing, and he tips his head forward until their brows touch. ]

Come for me, General Mahamatra..

[ he whispers, dragging his mouth along cyno's cheek, and his jaw, breathing in the scent of his skin, tasting him. ]

Come for me, thinking about how much you want me, how much you want to fuck me.

[ dirty fox ]

[ Dirty fox about to become... more dirty because Cyno comes almost right away, as if he was obedient to the bone and literally listened to the "Come for me" part. The ribbons of cum end up on Tighnari's belly right after he climaxes with a loud, raw groan, his body shuddering from the overwhelming pleasure. Cyno's cheeks feel warm, but he doesn't look away from his lover even for a second. ]

Ah, Nari... I've been thinking about how much I want you... how I want to fuck you... for so long...

[ dirty fox is indeed more dirty, but he was ready for it, and the slick spill of cyno's come is welcome. tighnari's breath catches, his hand moving more and more quickly, their brows pressed tightly together - it isn't long before he follows.

with a soft cry and a jerk of his hips, tighnari comes as well, thick and hot, dribbling over his knuckles, over cyno's cock, making the way much more slippery for his still moving hand. his breath comes quickly, rapid and labored, his mouth slack, pretty pink lips parted around a moan. ]

Then.. mm, then you had best make good on it and take me to bed.

[ Pulling away when they're so close and Tighnari is still panting like that proves to be a challenge, but the promise of more to come makes it tad easier. As soon as Cyno gets back on his feet, he slides his arms under his beloved fox and lifts him up to carry him to their bedroom. ]

I want to see you come again and again...

[ He murmurs directly into Tighnari's ear, his voice low and sultry. It's horny Cyno hours. ]

[ it sure is horny cyno hours!! but it's also horny tighnari hours.. even if he exclaims in annoyance when cyno sweeps him up into his arms to carry him. he can walk on his own!! .. but cyno is probably just trying to be sweet and romantic, so tighnari lets it slide for now, both arms winding around cyno's shoulders. ]

Good. Because I want to come for you again, and again, and again.

[ he whispers, and cyno's lips against his sensitive ear send a full-body shiver down tighnari's spine, a soft whine moving in his throat. he swallows thickly, digging both hands into cyno's hair, pulling him in for a hot, wet kiss. ]

[ Cyno can't help moaning into the very sudden but not unwelcome kiss. He never considered carrying someone and kissing them at the same time to be challenging, but now it sure is difficult to focus on moving forward. ]

Where did you learn to kiss like that? [ He laughs, pretty sure that his lips are swollen because of all the attention Tighnari gave him. ] I will make come again, and again, and again, and again.

[ Adding another 'and again' doesn't make it sound as hot as he initially thought. ]

[ no, no it really doesn't.. ]

That's quite a lot.

[ he murmurs, pressing kisses to cyno's jaw before they're both laid down in the bed, and tighnari is tugging cyno down against him, straddling his hips, pressing him back down into the mattress. his hands move over cyno's bare abdomen and up over his chest, thumbs smoothing over his (always out) nipples. ]

You're going to tire me out, aren't you?

My current position might not allow me to tire you out as much as I want... but it's just a temporary disadvantage.

[ Cyno's not complaining, though. Not when the most beautiful and desirable person is straddling his hips like that. Cyno's hands rest on Tighnari's lower back before sliding down to cup his ass. ]

Come closer, Nari. Give me a kiss.

[ If he leans closer, Cyno will knead his cheeks, spreading them a little to see Tighnari's reaction. ]

[ cyno's getting grabby, squeezing at his ass, and to that tighnari can only grin, rocking his hips downward into cyno's, grinding their bodies together in a way that creates sweet, warm friction. he hums, his tail flicking contentedly behind him. ]

If you insist..

[ leaning in, tighnari presses their mouths together, hot and needy, kissing cyno deeply, hard and full of wanting, his hands splayed open over his lover's chest. slipping his fingers beneath the golden mantle cyno wears, tighnari begins to urge it over his head, while cyno's hands continue to grab at him, and tighnari chuckles. ]

Tell me what you're thinking about.

[ Tighnari's movements leave him moaning softly everytime he sways his hips. The kiss that follows makes his body shiver with pleasure as he chases Tighnari's lips hungrily as if they haven't kissed even once yet. ]

About how lucky I am.

[ He says in a whisper, his palms kneading the cheeks. There's no way he can hold himself back from wanting to take everything from Tighnari now and he wants his lover to do the same, just take everything that he has to offer. ]

About how good fucking you is going to feel.

Is that so?

[ those words go straight to his cock, and tighnari's body tightens up with anticipation, heat rolling in waves through his belly. cyno sounds so good when he's like this, his voice rough and deep with wanton need.. biting his lip, tighnari grinds downward again, breathing a soft groan against cyno's mouth. ]

Then it's a good thing I'm well prepared.

[ reaching across cyno and into the nightstand, tighnari produces a tin of thick, mildly sweet smelling oil. he'd foreseen that they might come to this, eventually, and tighnari certainly didn't want them to be unprepared for such an event. he made it himself. ]

Oh, this is probably better than what I got in town.

[ Cyno chuckles softly, his hips buckling up to meet Tighnari's hips, quite eager for what's about to come considering the growing bulge. His fingers wrap around his lover's hand in which he's holding the oil, the tips grazing over the vial. ]

Tell me... have you tested it?

[ Tighnari should be able to tell what Cyno imagines directly after asking that question considering the way his cock twitches. Picturing him with his fingers coated with this oil, fucking himself with his fingers and moaning while Cyno is away. ]

[ ah, they were both well prepared. the idea of cyno buying something like this for them.. it sends a delightful little shiver down his spine. they've both thought about this, clearly. it's exciting. ]

Yes.. I have.

[ he whispers, grinding himself down into cyno's lap again, feeling the heat of his cock as it twitches, growing hard for him again. tighnari wriggles, doing his best to shove his trousers down with one hand. ]

Yesterday morning, while you were in town, I stayed in bed..

[ a sloppy kiss to cyno's mouth, while fabric rustles. ]

I touched myself, and thought about how you would feel inside of me.

[ There's simply no way he wouldn't think about kissing, touching, fucking Tighnari either here on this island or back in Sumeru. Back in Teyvat, that was just a fantasy he decided not to act upon. Everything changed with Tighnari's arrival here, though. ]

You... have.

[ Cyno lets out a soft grunt. That confirmation alone makes blood rush to his groin, but Tighnari makes it even better by grinding his hips down, creating friction that makes him feel so, so good... ]

I... I've thought of it... [ He takes a deep breath. ] I've been fantasizing about it... even back home.

[ With his hand resting on Tighnari's cheek, Cyno presses a gentle kiss against his lover's lips. ]

Sometimes... I just wanted to pin you against the wall in your house, and...

[ He trails off to lock their lips together again, yet this one has nothing to do with the tenderness of their previous kiss—it's filled to the brim with Cyno's desire for Tighnari. ]
