sukuna in a stardew valley au
He's the Pelican Town butcher. Blunt, a little grumpy, but an undisputed master at his trade. Sells only the best meats in the entire valley. Nonhuman, of course, because cannibalism isn't exactly wholesome Stardew Valley material. Not that Sukuna is wholesome, even in this universe. He has a reputation among the townsfolk. Everyone knows that it's best not to get in his way.
Sukuna lives with his twin brother Jin and his nephew Yuji. Even though it's a small town, Sukuna mostly keeps to himself and doesn't socialise much. His twin, however, is the complete opposite — wholesomeness incarnate! Jin is soft-spoken and a little timid and awkward but has a good heart and does his best to be part of community events and get-togethers. He's also a bit of a pushover, much to Sukuna's irritation.
The townsfolk take care of Jin, for the most part. But every now and then, Pierre might ‘forget’ to give him his change and Shane might ‘borrow’ a tool from the shed only to never give it back. It's a little wrong, but who can blame them? Jin is just way too easy to take advantage of. It's embarrassing.
Also no one knows where the hell Yuji came from. Sure, he's obviously an Itadori. That messy mop of pink hair is unmistakable. But who is his mother? And where is she? It's the one secret Jin can't be bullied into divulging. Doctor Harvey remembers the day he casually walked into his clinic with a large bundle in his arms, asking if he could give his newborn son a checkup. That day, gossip spread across the town like wildfire.
Yuji is a sweet kid. Playful. Kind. A little dumb, even for his age. But a good heart just like his father's. Penny, the local teacher, has a soft spot for the boy. Even though he always struggles with his schoolwork, Yuji is secretly her favourite. All bright smiles and tight hugs.
In this universe, the Itadori family would be an odd bunch. Sure, they all looked related, but each member had wildly distinctive personalities. That said, they all looked out for each other in their own little ways. Jin convinces everyone to buy their meats from Sukuna's shop, even though JojaMart is twice as cheap. Sukuna babysits Yuji whenever Jin has to work the night shift, which is very often. And Yuji absolutely adores his uncle. He begs Sukuna to take him to work nearly everyday. Sukuna pretends to be annoyed, but secretly loves the way his nephew clings to his leg with all the strength his tiny body could muster. Which, surprisingly, is a lot more than you'd think.
When Sukuna first meets the new farmer, he's definitely underwhelmed. You look like you barely know how to hold a shovel, let alone run an entire farm all by yourself. But he soon gets used to the idea of having you around. Besides, your blind determination to turn your grandfather's rundown farm into a successful one is kinda cute, in a naive sort of way. He didn't think you'd last three days, but you managed to persevere for three whole seasons. And now here he is, watching you set up your grange display with a paltry assortment of parsnips, eggs, berries and — is that charcoal? Unbelievable!
I'm thinking of fully fleshing out this fic someday soon, but just had to write something down now since it's been on my mind for weeks! ヾ(･ω･*)ﾉ
