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.

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. ]

I have..

[ he confirms, while wriggling his way out of his loosened trousers all the way, dropping them aside and off the bed, so when he straddles cyno's hips again, this time he is entirely, shamelessly nude. flushed from his ears straight down his chest, tighnari bites his lower lip, rubbing his palms over cyno's abdomen, up his chest, thumbing his nipples, listening intently. ]

Sometimes I wanted you to.

[ the unresolved sexual tension between them had been so strong, even at home, before arriving at this place, though neither of them had acted upon it. there was too much in the way. too much pulling them apart. but now, now they're here, they can indulge every lewd, dark fantasy.

leaning forward, tighnari presses a hot kiss to cyno's mouth, pinching his pert nipples, grinding their hips together. ]

And now you can.

I felt it, somehow. [ He can't explain it, but he truly did. However, there's no need for elaborating on that, not when they can finally do what they want. ] Mmm...

[ Tighnari's hands massaging his body leave him in a state of bliss; his lover is so attentive, spoiling him with his touch, making Cyno want to do the same for him. His palms start from Tighnari's shoulder blades before sliding all the way down to his tail, grabbing and pulling it. ]

I do want to fuck you on every flat surface in this house, to be honest...

[ His voice is firm as he says it, but his face betrays how flustered Cyno is by his own words. ]

[ tighnari felt it, too.. that inexorable pull between them that kept them bound, that made them want to cross what little distance remained between them, but life and responsibility had always gotten in the way.

not anymore.

plucking up the oil again, tighnari thumbs off the lid as he sits back, and takes one of cyno's hands. spilling the oil onto cyno's rough palm, he slicks up his lover's fingers with delicate, attentive desire. ]

I think you should do exactly that. [ setting the oil aside, he hikes himself onto his knees, guiding cyno's slicked fingers between his thighs, pressing them to the seam of his ass. ] In the kitchen. Against the bathroom wall. On the sofa.

We might have to turn in some more bingo squares if we follow that plan.

[ It's a subtle way of saying that he's not going to hold himself back. At this point, it feels like he's wasted too many years doing just that. Cyno casts his gaze down, watching Tighnari work on coating his fingers with the oil he made. ]

We'll need more. I hope it's not too troublesome to make.

[ While he doesn't doubt Tighnari's abilities, the resources might be an issue. Trembling with excitement, Cyno slips his other hand between Tighnari's legs to spread them open. ]

It isn't. Thankfully.

[ tighnari's smile curves, and he rocks his hips slowly, to encourage cyno to use those fingers well. ]

I'll make plenty. Now, put your fingers in me, Cyno..
