Rune Factory: 15th Anniversary Celebration || August 18 - 24, 2021
Welcome to the next RFWeeks event that celebrates the 15th anniversary of this wonderful series!
So here’s the general lowdown of the weekend: The goal is to create awesome content and talk about our appreciation of the Rune Factory series! Each day of the week will have themed days with prompts and general things to talk about. If you’re a content creator, feel free to use these prompts to create art, fanfiction, edits, playlists, or more. If you just want an excuse to talk about your love of the series, you can use the prompts as a stepping point to talk about your favorite aspects of the series or your experiences with the games!
Of course, I will be reblogging everything I see onto this blog so everyone can see a big collection of it by the end of things!
FAQ:
What can I make for the event? Anything, honestly! Fanfics, art, writing headcanons, making edits of official art…if you can think of it, you can do it for the event! Get creative!
Can I create…citrus-y content for this event? You’re more than welcome to create content of the…citrus variety, though I will not be reblogging any of that content to RFWeeks. Please make sure that any lemony-content is properly tagged just so anyone who doesn’t want to see that content can abstain. If you do create citrus content, please use the hashtag #LemonScentedRFWeeks so that it doesn’t potentially mix in with SFW content.
THEMES OF THE WEEK:
August 18th, 2021: Seedling
The first step in a long growing season. What will bloom at the end of the season, you wonder...?
August 19th, 2021: Fields
Beautiful, vast fields as far as the eye can see. What’s that scurrying in the grass in the distance...?
August 20th, 2021: Oceans
The rolling waves, a gentle tide whispering through the air. Sometimes the farm even reminds you of the ocean, with the breeze coursing through the crops in soft waves...
August 21st, 2021: Freefall
Let’s hope there’s a nice dragon to land on...
August 22nd, 2021: Travel
A new destination, more people to meet and speak to. Sometimes it takes a vacation to really appreciate home.
August 23rd, 2021: Sunshine
A beautiful blue sky, a pulsing heat that seems to radiate wherever the light touches. Sometimes you wished it would rain, if only to water the crops for you...
August 24th, 2021, Rune Factory’s 15th Anniversary!!: Memory
Moments in the distance, slowly fading with every day. Something fleeting that you cherish the most, holding it close to your heart.
–
The hashtag for this event will be #RF15th, so please make sure to use that tag during the weekend so that I can reblog your post to the blog when you post it! Please also tag RFWeeks on your post so I am guaranteed to see it! Sometimes the tags don’t work on Tumblr so this helps me find your beautiful work!
PLEASE REBLOG TO SPREAD THE WORD, AND PREPARE FOR A GRAND CELEBRATION IN AUGUST 2021!

Just a Breath (of Magic) - Chapter 1
Fandom: Story of Seasons / Rune Factory
Pairing: Ford (Story of Seasons) / Violet (Rune Factory)
Featured Characters: Ford (Story of Seasons), Violet (Rune Factory), Odette (Rune Factory), Alisa (Harvest Moon), Harvest King (Harvest Moon), Elly (Harvest Moon)
Notes: Crossover, Modern AU
It’s a tough life in the city for a girl like Violet. Between the swarms of people on the street, working too many shifts at the hospital, and constant rainfall, it’s hard for her to even catch her breath. But after an encounter with a mysterious stranger, she finds herself with one more, enormous problem:
A spark of magic, dancing between her fingers.
(This story takes place in the same AU and setting as Ten Rotations (Around the Sun). While some story elements and characters are shared between the stories, this is otherwise independent and can be enjoyed on its own.)
