coming out of hibernation to draw my new sickly dragon husband
Hey everyone! Iโve just uploaded new chapters of "Caldarus's Accidental Guide to Wooing a Farmer." Hereโs a sneak peek from the latest chapter:
She hummed softly to herself as she tied off the ends of the flower crown, a satisfied smile playing on her lips as she admired her handiwork. With a gentle movement, she leaned forward, carefully lifting the delicate creation and placing it atop Caldarusโs head.
His gaze flickered up from his book, curiosity stirring as he regarded her with quiet intrigue. โAnother one?โ His voice held no protest, only mild surprise as though he had already anticipated such an outcome.
She grinned, her fingers still lingering near the crown as she adjusted it slightly. โOf course! Youโre starting a collection now.โ
A breath of amusement escaped him, a faint exhale that wasnโt quite a laugh but carried the essence of one. He made no move to remove it, allowing the memory of their first festival together to surface, the distant recollection of when she had first given him a flower crown, back when he had been nothing more than an unmoving stone figure in her fields.
Slowly he closed his book, letting it rest upon his lap as his gaze drifted to the flowers surrounding them. Reaching out he selected one, his fingers brushing over the soft petals as he turned his attention back to her. With deliberate care he leaned in, the space between them narrowing as he reached up, gently tucking the flower beneath her ear. His fingertips brushed against her hair, the strands soft beneath his touch as he adjusted the placement, ensuring it sat just right.
Isariaโs breath hitched, her heartbeat suddenly irregular, caught off guard by the unexpected gentleness of the gesture. A warmth crept up her neck, settling in her cheeks as she remained frozen under his touch, her mind scrambling to form a coherent response.
โThere.โ Caldarus said simply, his golden eyes studying her with an unreadable expression. โIt suits you.โ
Her fingers twitched slightly against her lap, the sudden flutter in her chest sending a ripple of warmth through her body. โOh. Uhhhโฆโ She cleared her throat, attempting to steady herself though the lingering sensation of his touch made it a challenge. โThanks.โ
His expression remained calm, entirely unaware of the effect he had just caused as though the simple act had held no deeper meaning beyond placing a flower in her hair.
Isaria let out a breath, shaking her head slightly as she reached for another flower, her hands busying themselves as she willed away the warmth creeping up her cheeks. โYou know.โ she mused, attempting a casual tone, โYou have a habit of saying things that sound suspiciously like flirting.โ
Caldarus blinked, his brow slightly furrowing, genuine curiosity flickering across his features. โDo I?โ
She laughed, a light and breathy sound as she shook her head again. โNever mind.โ

Oh mighty Caldarus, I kneel before your cosmic presence! The sheer power radiating from you, those glowing eyes, the celestial energy, the sheer dominance... Truly, I am but a speck of dust before your greatness! The way you loom, the divine authority in your stance, the overwhelming aura... I am in awe, utterly and completely. ๐ฉโจ
Call of the dragon
[Scene: A quiet evening in a candle-lit study. Caldarus is seated at his desk, engrossed in an old tome while Isaria bursts into the room with an excited expression.]
Isaria: *grinning mischievously* Caldarus! I just met the most beautiful person in all of Mistria!
Caldarus: *barely glancing up, voice calm and measured* Have you now? And where pray tell, did you encounter such an individual?
Isaria: *dramatically pulls out a small ornate mirror and holds it up* Right here! Arenโt they just breathtaking?
Caldarus: *raises an eyebrow, setting his book down* Youโre holding it the wrong way.
Isaria: *blinking, tilting her head* Huh?
Caldarus: *with an exasperated sigh, taking the mirror and turning it toward the farmer* Look again.
Isaria: *stiffens as she sees her own reflection, expression faltering for just a second* Oh...
Caldarus: *leaning slightly closer, his voice lowering to a rare, softer tone* Yes, you truly are beautiful.
Isaria: *scoffs lightly, setting the mirror down* Please, youโre ridiculous. Thatโs not what I meant.
Caldarus: *watching her closely* No? Then why the sudden interest in the floor?
Isaria: *crossing her arms, turning away just enough to hide the warmth creeping up her neck* I was just testing your perception. Clearly, you overthink things.
Caldarus: *chuckles, shaking his head as he returns to his book* If you say so.
Isaria: *grumbling under her breath, fidgeting with the edge of her sleeve* Youโre still ridiculous.
Caldarus: *without looking up* And yet, you keep coming back.
Hereโs a skit idea for my upcoming new chapters in Caldarus's Accidental Guide to Wooing a Farmer, more romantic shenanigans between our ethereal handsome dragon, Caldarus and my mysterious farmer, Isaria! Expect plenty of witty banter, unexpected moments and of course, Isaria trying (and failing) to keep her cool around Caldarusโs unintentional flirting and effortless charm.
Okay, so Iโve been gone for a few days because of work and the moment I finally finish everything and plan to enjoy my day off, I decide to take a nice long rest. But guess what? I end up having a freaking dream where I get isekaid, straight into my Farmerโs body. At that point, I just roll with it because honestly being isekaid sounds pretty cool.
Then out of nowhere Caldarus appears. He reaches for my hand, his touch sending a shiver down my spine.
"My beloved, youโre finally awake." His voice is deep, smooth...way too seductive for my sanity.
I freeze. Holy shit! Heโs even more ethereal and majestic than I ever imagined, so much more than just a pixelated character on my screen.
Before I can say anything, he lifts my hand to his lips, pressing the softest kiss against my knuckles. "Have you truly forgotten me?" he murmurs, his gaze searching mine. "Or is fate merely testing me once more?"
I swear my brain short-circuits. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!
"Iโฆ I donโt understand." I stammer.
His grip tightens just slightly, his thumb tracing slow circles over my wrist. "Then allow me to remind you." he whispers, leaning in. "Body, soul and eternity. I have only ever belonged to you."
And thatโs when I absolutely lose it. Oh my god. Is this a sign that I need to update my story since I have the day off?!
Now before you think Iโm making this up or just being delusional, this is real. The last time I had a dream like this was back in 2020 when I dreamt about my OC self getting married to a Countryhumans character. I even made a whole comic about it!
Hey guys! I just uploaded a new chapter โCaldarus's Accidental Guide to Wooing a Farmerโ Hereโs a sneak peek:
โYouโre catching on fast.โ she admitted, a small smile tugging at her lips. โMaybe you wonโt burn the kitchen down after all.โ
Caldarus let out a low hum, his voice laced with dry amusement. โYour faith in me is truly touching. Should I take that as encouragement?โ
โTake it as a miracle.โ she shot back without missing a beat.
After finishing the prep, they moved on to the stove, where Isaria began explaining how to handle the cauldron properly. โJust a simple simmer. No excessive flames, no magical shortcuts, just patience.โ
Caldarus nodded, setting the fire beneath the cauldron with measured control. Everything seemed to be going well until Isaria turned away for a mere moment to grab another ingredient. Before he could respond, a sudden boom shook the room, sending a burst of smoke billowing from the other side of the kitchen. Isaria whipped around, eyes widening at the sight of the cauldron, now engulfed in flames. โOh, for the love ofโ! Caldarus! What did you do?!โ
โI followed the steps exactly as you instructed.โ he said, though his gaze flicked between the fire and her with mild concern.

Hey guys! I just wrote a new CaldarusXFarmer fanfic on AO3, titled "Caldarus's Accidental Guide to Wooing a Farmer" Here are some snippets from a few of the chapters!
A silence stretched between them. Isariaโs mind whirred, piecing the information together, her unease growing with every passing second. Before she could say anything, he inhaled deeply his movements sharp and twitchy and then with eerie composure, he continued. โHowever, I believe my measurements may have been off. Unlessโฆโ His golden eyes narrowed slightly, his head tilting with calculated curiosity. โThe room appears to be vibrating. Do you perceive this as well?โ
It took a moment for the realization to fully sink in and when it did Isaria froze, her stomach dropping. Gods above. This was happening. Caldarus, an ancient, powerful, cold-blooded dragon guardian had overdosed on caffeine.
โOh, for the love ofโ!โ She immediately went closer to him, reaching out before he could topple sideways. โCal, you need to sit still before you vibrate out of existence.โ
Here's the link of my fanfic...
Just had this unhinged crossover headcanon about my FOM farmer, Isaria, she's the cousin of my two SDV farmer sisters, Cerise and Rosemary. Now, imagine a family reunion where they introduce their lovers to each other. If you're confused, here's the lineup: Isaria is with Caldarus, Cerise is with Jio, and Rosemary is with Lance.
Now, picture how awkward that would be.
Caldarus is a dragon guardian of Mistria, Lance is a combat mage from the First Slash Clan, and Jio is not only an assassin but also an elf and a member of the Cult of the Lady with the Red Tail. Lance would probably be thrilled to meet an actual dragon, while Jio ever the cautious one would find Caldarus intimidating. Meanwhile, Caldarus though outwardly polite for Isariaโs sake, would remain on high alert, sensing the intense auras between these two menโฆ and even those of Isariaโs cousins, especially Cerise.
Still out of respect for his farmer, he keeps his composure. But oh boy, the tension in that room would be off the charts.
[๐ต๐๐๐๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โ ๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐]
[Cerise, Rosemary, and Isaria stand together while their partners linger nearby. The air crackles with unspoken tension.]
Lance: *grinning, composed yet intrigued* A dragon guardianโฆ Quite the rare sight. It is an honor to meet you.
Caldarus: *soft-spoken, yet watchful* And you must be the mage Isaria spoke of. The honor is mine.
Jio: *arms crossed, unimpressed* A dragon, a mage, and an assassin in one room. Sounds like the start of a bad joke.
Rosemary: *muttering* More like a disaster waiting to happen.
Lance: *chuckles* Oh, I assure you, I mean no trouble. Though I must admit, meeting a dragon isโฆ fascinating.
Caldarus: *calmly observing both men* Likewise. It is rare to stand among those who carry such powerful auras.
Jio: *lowers voice, glancing at Cerise* I donโt trust him.
Cerise: *calmly sips tea* You donโt trust anyone.
Isaria: *forcing a smile* Okay! Letโs all just sit down and eat, yes? No battles, no tension, just a nice, peaceful meal.
[Caldarus offers a polite nod, ever the composed guardian. Jio remains wary, and Lance though clearly intrigued respects the unspoken boundaries. Out of respect for their partners, they all (reluctantly) take their seats.]
Rosemary: *whispering to Cerise* Ten gold says something breaks before dessert.
Cerise: Make it twenty.
(Found this in my old drafts, I wrote it before the FOM update. Would be a waste not to post it here. I also made a skit related to this one with Farmer and Caldarus but more unhinged/dramatic and longer skit. โก๏ธ Link)
[Setting: Caldarus has just broken free from his stone prison. Dust settles, magic crackles in the air, and the Farmer stands frozen, staring at the man before them.]
Farmer: *inhales sharply* Oh. My. Gods.
Caldarus: *blinking, adjusting to his newfound freedom* Yes, Iโ
Farmer: *gripping his shoulders* YOUโRE HOT!!!
Caldarus: *startled* What?
Farmer: *shaking him slightly* I knew youโd be attractive, but this? This is illegal!
Caldarus: *trying to recover from both the dramatic exit from his prison and this energy* Iโwell... Thank you, I supposeโ
Farmer: *grabs his hands, eyes shining* You donโt understand. I was ready to marry a rock. I was prepared to take my vows in front of a lawn ornament.
Caldarus: *slowly processing* You were going to what?
Farmer: *serious nod* I was mentally prepared to wake up every day and say, โGood morning, my beloved paperweight.โ
Caldarus: *rubbing his temples* I just broke free from my stoney prison, and this is what Iโm met with?
Farmer: *grinning* Welcome back to the world, my dear! Wanna get married?
Caldarus: *sighs, but thereโs an amused smile tugging at his lips* At least let me breathe first.
๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐:
Caldarus: *sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose* Fine. But if I hear one joke about rocks, Iโm turning back into one.
Farmer: *gasps dramatically* You wouldnโt dare.
Caldarus: *raising an eyebrow* Try me.
Farmer: *grinning* Well, thatโs just stone-cold of you.
Caldarus: *visibly struggling to maintain composure* Iโm serious.
Farmer: *nodding* Of quartz you are.
Caldarus: *groans* I regret everything.
Farmer: *pats his shoulder* Donโt take me for granite.
Caldarus: *sighs, looking up at the sky as if pleading with the gods* I should have stayed petrified.
Farmer: *beaming* Too late, rock husband. Youโre stuck with me now.
Caldarus: *despite himself, a small chuckle escapes* At least eternity wonโt be boring.
Ohhh, this is such a fun question! I have so many Stardew Valley farmer OCs, but Iโll just pick a few for this.
Aleia โ March
Oh, sheโd absolutely go for March. A tsundere blacksmith? Thatโs a challenge sheโd gladly take on. If she can handle an emo dude, March is nothing. Aleiaโs smart, imaginative, and just chaotic enough to push all his buttons, delighting in every flustered reaction. At first, heโd find her constant teasing and unpredictable energy downright exhausting, but over time? Heโd start expecting it. Then one day, as he works in the forge, heโd notice the silence, the absence of her usual antics and thatโs when it hits him. He misses her and just like that, heโs doomed.
Cerise โ Caldarus
Cerise and a dragon guardian? Absolutely. Her sharp instincts and level-headed nature match seamlessly with Caldarusโs wisdom and introspection. Both find peace in simple moments, her in crafting homemade chocolates and tending the farm, him in the stillness of nature. But as a former assassin with magic, sheโs more than capable of protecting him. With his power still weak, sheโd make sure he rests, bring him food, and casually remind him not to overexert himself. And if anyone dares to hurt him while heโs vulnerable? Theyโd be lucky if there was anything left of them to bury.
Rosemary โ Balor
Balorโs wanderlust and Rosemaryโs grounded nature balance each other perfectly. She wouldnโt try to tie him down, but would remind him that home is where you return. Their relationship would be full of playful teasing and mutual respect, he brings excitement to her life, and she becomes his anchor. Over time, heโd realize he wants to return to her and when he does, sheโd simply smirk and say, โGuess youโre not as restless as you thought.โ
Yvonne โ Ryis
Yvonneโs sweet, patient nature and quiet strength would naturally draw Ryis in, his chill and hardworking demeanor complementing her perfectly. As a florist, she has a gentle touch and an eye for beauty, but sheโs also fearless in the mines when needed. Heโd admire how she balances kindness with strength, and sheโd appreciate his steady support and quiet concern for others. Theyโd share soft moments in a cozy greenhouse, sheโd bring him flowers with a tender smile, saying, โThese reminded me of you,โ while heโd secretly carve little trinkets for her to find. No grand gestures, just quiet companionship, knowing smiles and deep conversations under the moonlight.
Thalia โ Hayden
Thalia would love Hayden. As a fellow farmer and a half-witch, she carries herself with charm and confidence, always playful and effortlessly flirtatious. Hayden, with his strong, dependable nature and steady presence, would balance out her lively mischief perfectly. Sheโd keep him on his toes, tossing flirty remarks his way while leaning against a fence, watching him work. โYou work too hard, Hayden. Maybe you need someone to help you unwind.โ sheโd tease with a sly smile. Heโd sigh, shaking his head. โAnd I suppose youโre volunteering?โ Sheโd grin. โOh, honey, Iโve been volunteering from the start.โ Heโd roll his eyes, pretending to be exasperated but deep down, heโs already smitten.
if ur stardew valley farmer was in fields of mistria then who would they romance
