The Great Nation of Alyera had known only prosperity since the young monarch of the royal family took the throne. Great things were promised, and delivered, and nothing seemed to be able to stop the growing bonds within the nation.

Until the monarch’s consort perished…

Until you died… Due to an assassination attempt on the monarch’s life.

Wrought with grief and anger, the Monarch of Alyera promised revenge on all those that took their love from them; no matter the lives that may be taken in order to conquer such a feat.

A land of prosperity and harmony soon falling into war and bloodshed. Something that no one could stop due to the power of the royal family.

It’s for that very reason that the rebel group enacted a ritual that would transport someone to the past; before the kind monarch turned dark.

It’s for that very reason you were resurrected— from your place in limbo— to go back in time and stop the love of your life from turning into something they never should have been.

Will you be able to succeed? Even if it means letting them fall in love with someone else?

Demo Features

This story is 18+. Please be aware of this before continuing forward!

Customizable MC: name, appearance, gender, sexuality, parts of your background, hobbies, and a smattering of other things!

Go back in time to a time before the love of your life became the love of your life. Before they were wrought with so much grief they turned into something you could never imagine.

Will you be able to stop yourself from falling in love with them again? Especially if it means saving them from themself?

Romance a single RO that will hopefully offer enough enjoyment that you don’t mind that there isn’t more! (Customizable appearance— barring their height and few other things.)

Remember your mission… Especially when you’re back in the future and have to deal with the reality of what happened to your love after your death.

DEMO

King/Queen/Liege Shaerian of House Elanil

Shaerian, or simply Shae, has been the prospective heir of Alyera since they were born— bypassing their older brother completely. With a gentle heart, that’s filled with compassion, and a warriors spirit, it’s no wonder that Shaerian would later become the ruling monarch of the great elven kingdom.

It’s only when they chose you, a simple human, as their consort that any sort of disfavor for their rule became known, but Shae wouldn’t hear any of it. They didn’t care as long as they had you by their side…

If only you had been able to stay there.

Set Appearance: Shaerian is 6’4” with a lithe/athletic build that all elves seem to possess. Their elegance being negated by the great strength and dexterity of their species. (Hair, eye, and skin color are all customizable. Along with other things too.)

M!Shae has his hair to just above his ears. F!Shae has hers to just beneath her shoulder blades. NB!Shae has theirs to their jawline.

DEMO (ETA December)

The Dance of the Fallen Deities is a character-driven 18+ work of fiction written using CScript.

Content warnings include: explicit language, depictions of violence and blood, (optional) explicit sexual content, threat of war, potential unhealthy relationships, threats of violence, attempted abduction, mentions of past abuse, instances of classism (including towards mc) and xenophobia (not towards mc). Will be added to as needed.

Everyone has heard the whispers.

Of how the Fallen have come together with the council of Yanha to plot and scheme against the realm of Celea. How their armies are howling the songs of war as their leaders command that divine ichor be spilt.

Everyone except you it seems.

As a minor deity working tirelessly for your Goddess, you don’t have time to listen to baseless gossip.

However, when you come face to face with the four self-proclaimed leaders of the Fallen, you’ll wish you had. Especially when, in their own unique ways, they all seem to have a strange special interest in you.

You have no idea what’s going on, but what you do know is that you really don’t have time for this.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

-> Customise your deities appearance. The Deities personality is semi-set.

-> Choose to play as male, female, nonbinary, agender, or genderfluid with cis and trans options included. Choose your pronouns separately from your gender/sex. Ace and Aro options are also available.

-> Choose the type of Goddess you follow and your abilities: Fate (Precognition), Love (Empathy), Animals (Beast Tamer), or Justice (Truth Inducement).

-> Five potential romances to pursue with poly routes included.

-> Help avert a war, save your home, and get your life back. Or join the Fallen and watch Celea crumble.

-> Commiserate with your Blessed Hound.

Aeryn [F]

-> profile

Your goddess diligently follows and upholds Celea’s beliefs, she’s beautiful, hard-working, generous, and goes about her duties in a serene manner. She is seen as the definition of Celeatan perfection and everyone either wants to be her or be bonded to her, with rumours circulating that even the Supreme himself wishes to ask for her hand. Unfortunately for all of them, Aeryn couldn’t be less interested in all of that. Her greatest interest seems to lie with you, her most trusted deity and closest confidant. When she learns of her brother’s intent to take you from her, it’s enough to have her nearly declaring war on Yanha herself.

I know that your life is your own and I have no right to ask this of you, but please…don’t leave me.

Kyan [M]

-> profile

With an affable charm, genial smile, and warm eyes, it’s little wonder that all have been fooled into believing Kyan to still be a kind man, despite his falling. All except you that is. Even when he was a respected member of the Council, you could always see right through his perfected façade to the twisted darkness of his true nature beneath, and yet still stood up to him and sometimes for him, worked with him, and even showed him understanding. You saw him, ugliness and all, and didn’t shun him. Perhaps that’s why he’s so intent on tearing you from his sister’s side and claiming you as his.

Celea. The title of Supreme. You. I’ll take it all.

Niran [Agender]

-> profile

Known by most as a ruthless warrior, Niran has spent a lifetime cultivating a reputation as someone that will cut you down with little to no provocation if you so much as look at them or Kyan wrong. However, you’ve never seen them like that. Before they fell, Niran’s quiet, and usually unnoticed, kindness and protectiveness towards others was something you witnessed on many occasions, and even experienced firsthand once or twice. You were one of the very few to look at them without fear, and that’s something that they’ve never forgotten. It’s something that makes them want to protect you, even from themself.

I can’t protect you if I don’t know where you are, so don’t ever stray from my side.

Elex [Gender Selectable]

-> profile

It was easy for the residents of Celea to underestimate Elex, to only see nem as lazy, overly flirtatious, and too easily distracted and remain blind to how nir eyes missed nothing. Ne is, in fact, a highly intelligent individual who can talk nir way in and out of any situation and is now regarded as the highest priority target due to nir strategies alone. Yet, you knew the kind of danger they presented long ago, and it left Elex reeling when you went to nem for strategic advice. From that moment, you were, and still are, thoroughly under nir skin.

You, starlight, are the definition of a hot mess. Lucky for me, that’s exactly how I like my deities.

Hayle [Gender Selectable]

-> profile

Out of all who fell, Hayle was the most shocking. Xe was sweet, outgoing, and always ready to lend an ear and a healing hand to those who were in need, so it was widely suspected that xe had been abducted rather than gone willingly. However, Hayle proved that rumour to be spectacularly false by personally sending the members of xyr rescue party back in several pieces. A move that even you didn’t see coming. You had been just as drawn in by xem as everyone else and even considered xem a close friend. It makes you no different to anyone else, so xyr interest in you is a mystery to everyone but xem.

You have such pretty eyes. I want them to always be looking at me.

Chapter 3 Part 1 is finally here!

Part 1 of Chapter 3 brings with it an additional 25.5K words of new content. Now, the total word count so far is around 107K words. I'm currently working hard on writing and finishing Chapter 3 Part 2, and I'm already more than halfway through it.

I would recommend restarting and playing the game from the beginning so the skills and abilities stats will be more accurately represented in Chapter 3, which will include some stat checks. There are also additional clothing options for Female and NB MC for the party in Chapter 2 and additional flavour texts where Grandpa will react accordingly to the pre-set names you choose for the pistols.

Chapter 3 Part 1 also have a large amount of variations based on MC's skills stat, which I hope all of you will be able to explore!

Some things to expect from Chapter 3 Part 1:

Have breakfast with dear Uncle Luka.

Get some new gears for the mission.

Choose MC's shadow mask design.

Choose MC's code name.

Choose MC's car and its color.

Choose how MC will infiltrate a luxurious hotel.

Some minor stuff I've updated on previous chapters:

Add additional suit clothing options for Female and NB MCs for the party in Chapter 2.

Add flavour texts where Grandpa will react to pre-set names for the pistols in Chapter 2.

As a cat owner and cat lover seeing Alexis allergic to cats makes me sad 😭😭

Nobody is as sad as he is. He has cat stickers on his phone, and sometimes feeds the stray cat that keeps showing up at his door (and has scratches and allergy symptoms to show for it.)

[frostbite-if]

Wisteria is a pretty name honestly, I just wanted to say that. Her whole name sounds like a flower.

That was her parents intentions. Not something she’s overly fond of though. 😭

[frostbite-if]

I saw an old ask about relationship dynamics between the characters and the Alexis and Heidi one was rlly funny. Something about Heidi being low key scared of Alexis 😭😭

Not low key, Heidi frequently likes playing with his life by finding new ways to acquire Alexis’ anger, and when it comes to Heidi, Alexis has a short temper 😭

He respects Heidi (though he’d never admit it aloud) but is also unendingly irritated with his behavior.

[frostbite-if]

Hii, will we be able to choose the home country our MC is from or is there a preset country?

You can choose what country you were playing for before, but the country you’re playing for in the olympics is whichever one Heidi is coaching. (Which I’m pretty sure I’ll give you the option to choose as well.)

[frostbite-if]

What kind of outfit would the ROs wear at matches or even at the Olympics? I am kinda interested in their type of style 👀

looking forward to the demo 💖

Heidi:

The official color Heidi’s stylist normally dressed him in is gold or silver, to complement his eyes, think gold beading, lace, and always black jeans. I got this one picture online (Enhypen’s Victorian prince outfits) and thought it was a good reference, but like more lace and less restricting.

Nari:

They normally wear black and/or red. A form fitting shirt with no sleeves and a high neck, etc, or all, but then their makeup makes up for the lack of color in their outfit. Silver patterns on the forehead, cheeks, etc.

Wisteria:

She wears all white a lot, that of all black, lots of beading, sparkles, etc.

Alexis:

Black and dark blue, sheer material, elaborate beading. Also commonly wears all white, like a lace white button up.

[frostbite-if]

How would the ROs react to a MC that’s to kiss them but their too smol

Heidi:

Honestly, initially Heidi is surprised, after staying so long with Alexis and Nari, both who cast twin shadows over him when they pass him by, this is a surprise. And then, he's struck by how cute that is. You're cute. So cute, for a moment he's content to watch you struggle.

Those thoughts disappearing when you catch the front of his shirt, bringing him to your size, and capturing his lips with your own.

"You're cute," Heidi said, pressing his lips against yours, laughing. "Really, really cute."

Nari:

Nari is used to people being smaller than them, in height anyway. Still they can't help their first reaction, cursing their height. Thinking back to every moment they opted to drink milk instead of, they don't know, juice like other kids.

You smiled, as if knowing their inner turmoil, taking their hand in yours, stepping back onto the staircase behind you. One step, two step, three step.

Nari couldn't help but smile, grabbing your hand and lacing your fingers to stop you. "You would have been okay at the second step. You just want to be taller than me, don't you?"

Your silence was all the answer they needed, lips curling further, you had that effect on them. Even when they hadn't wanted too. Pulling you closer by your hand, thumb running over the lines of your face, and kissing you.

Wisteria:

That's a pleasant surprise, really she was tired of being the shortest in the group, taking your face in her palms, and squishing your cheeks because she can't help it, you're cute.

"What do you think you're doing?" Face unimpressed and voice muffled by her hands on your cheeks.

"Holding onto the cutest thing in the world."

"Can you switch from 'holding' to 'kissing'?"

"Anything you want." Pushing you against the wall, her lips finding yours.

Alexis:

Alexis thinks that's cute, and he doesn't find many things other than cats, and heart shaped cacti cute. Resting his forehead against yours, hands cupping your face.

"And how should we fix this," voice hoarse, unable to prevent from teasing you. "Should I kneel?"

"Would you?"

"You know that I would." Leaning down even further and pressing his lips against yours. Against your lips; "If you asked."

[frostbite-if]

Hello 👋 Hope you have a nice day/night 🤗

I'm really excited for this IF of yours because skating in general is very interesting to me considering that there's no snow or winter in my country hence the curiousity 😆

That and the ROS are very.... *chefs kiss" good-looking 🥰

Honestly so far, Heidi caught my eyes but Alexis is also pretty ���

I wonder, how would the RO react to MC 'accidentally' calling them husband/wife/spouse ? In front of their fans perhaps ? 😳

Ah, I wish we could change places my country has almost too much snow to offer (Canada), I'm glad this excites you as I'm working hard to release the prologue and the first half of chapter one.

(Yes, Alexis is honestly so prett)

(I'm not sure what stage you intended, but let's say this is crushing stage)

Heidi:

Heidi smiled, before he'd realized, nodding his head along. For some reason, his heartbeat picking up.

"You're married?!" One incredulous fan shattering the sound of wedding bells in Heidi's mind.

"Ah," Heidi blinked, heart in his throat. Turning to glance at you. Can't we just pretend. For a little bit. "No. No, we're not married."

"Would it be so bad?" You said, glancing at him out of the corner of your eye.

And Heidi wondered why he heard blood racing in his ears. Why you'd said it like that, soft, gentle. Why it was hard to meet your eyes, and yet almost impossible to look away.

"No, it wouldn't be so bad."

And the smile he received in return was an award on the same level as winning gold, silver, bronze.

Nari:

Nari's sure you said that to sabotage them. To stop their head from thinking straight and make them look like a fool in front of all the fans gathered. "Pfft," Nari said, chest tightening. "Y-you, you wish." And if their voice was strained, well honestly, they thought it should be allowed.

Your lips curling up impishly; "You're the one who wishes."

Nari really didn't know how to answer that, for a moment thought of embarrassingly domestic things, coffee and getting ready in the morning and-of course you were openly grinning at them now.

"I don't." Nari said, their voice mutinously betraying them, and turned quickly to signing an autograph to dispel such thoughts from their head. And to prevent any further teasing.

Glanced up to where you were still smiling, like the cat who'd gotten the cream.

"I don't." And now they weren't sure if they were convincing you, or themself.

Wisteria:

Well, wasn't that just darling.

You shot a glance in her direction, likely already predicting the onslaught of teasing you were about to be subject to. "You know," Wisteria said, feeling her mouth turn into a smile that was less teasing, and more genuine. "I make a very mean breakfast."

"I've seen you burn salad before."

"...must you bring that up?" She could admit the only thing she was good at was baking. And that was only because she'd been gifted a baking cookbook when she was in third grade, her cooking abilities started in page 1 and stopped at page 32 of the baking handbook.

Even so, she couldn't help but think of the idea. Mornings with you, she wondered if you'd go to coffee shops together, cooking together, domestic things. You, lacing up the knots of her skates, her lacing yours.

"And the bride?" You, smiling at her silence. "Is that silence you contemplating an 'I do'."

She didn't need to contemplate. "If you make me coffee a minimum of every morning, I'll consider it."

"With cream." You answered, smile teasing.

Alexis:

Alexis' brows rose, almost to his hairline, and then he was no longer looking at the fans gathered in front of them, eyes seeping into your profile, examining you.

Eyes that immediately slid away when you turned to look at him, looking for something to settle on, finding nothing, and returning to meet your gaze again.

"Ah, sorry." You said, smiling.

Of course, it was just a slip of the tongue. Of course.

Don't be sorry. "Huh." Alexis said in acknowledgement, not trusting himself to say anything more. Waiting until your attention was pulled back by the gathering fans, then taking in your profile again, examining every detail.

Huh. Wiping at his mouth as if that would prevent the traitorous smile that was forming.

[frostbite-if]

what are the ro’s skating styles, and can the mc choose their own? ex: elegant, aggressive, powerful, etc

The MC will have the ability to choose a starting skill which they’re strongest at, whether that’s jumps, turns, speed, strength etc.

As well as if the mc picks a hockey background their skating style will automatically raise in speed and aggression, versus if the MC chooses a gymnastics background their skating style will raise in terms of elegance and artistry, as well as flexibility.

(This is kind of a spoiler, so skim if you don’t want to read; but the MC will have a nickname/ callsign that will also allow you to choose what kind of skating MC has done before hand.)

Your strengths will also add in different areas depending on who or what you spend your time training with.

As for the RO’s;

Heidi:

Heidi is a more aggressive skater, which is more uncommon, and had some of the best execution of jumps in any competition he partook in, earning the most points in his jumps and turns. When he was a figure skater, he was number one, and he remains as such, even after a year of skating inactivity, because his world record is yet to be surpassed.

Nari:

Nari is more of a meticulous skater. There isn’t one wasted movement in any of their skating, and it’s very unlikely for them to ever differ from the choreo. While this might be a weakness for others, their obsessiveness to detail is what has allowed them to stand at an olympic level. (And is also one of the reasons Heidi was interested in you and not them.)

Wisteria:

Wisteria is the poster image of talent, and she specializes in spins. She is extremely light on her feet, and her body is especially limber, allowing her to have full and perfect control of every one of her limbs, and creating the most beautiful images and silhouettes on the ice. Her skating is so pretty that she managed something that most professional skaters don’t (being the only figure skater that Alexis, number two in the world, acknowledges.) She lacks power at times in contrast.

Alexis:

While Alexis is as obsessed with detail as Nari, he actually is likely to simply not follow a choreo if he thinks it’s stifling, boring or limiting, much to his coaches dismay. One word about him, is he is fast, and by far the most elegant of the pair because of his history in ballet. He has nearly zero flaws, as expected of the prodigy, and any flaws are forgotten when you see him skate. If you could see past his flawless skating you’d notice that he struggles a lot with artistry, and even more with expressing the emotions in the piece.

[frostbite-if]

Hi I just sent in an ask about the character descriptions - just reread the intro post and it has descriptions there, oops 🥲 it would still be cool to have some sort of picrew or dollmaker reference too tbh if it’s ok to ask☺️

Don’t worry it’s not a problem and it was a lot of fun to make, I posted those to my page now. <333

[frostbite-if]

YOUR TEAMMATES

(appearances made with artbreeder and picrew)

THE STAR

Heidi Valentine |m|

21

Description: 5’9. Long limbs, littered with various bruises. Black, almost blue hair growing out to his collarbone, caramel skin and eyes a light brown. A dimple in his right cheek.

Heidi is the one who scouted you for his team, and to him, you are his muse.

People who loved him, called him…eccentric. People who hated him called him a raging lunatic. Either way, love him or hated him, you had to admit he was a living legend.

His skill couldn’t be denied. At least, not in the figure skating world. He’d dominated the figure skating community at a world level, leaving a trail of gold medals in his wake. And yet, inexplicably, the day of his 20th birthday he’d retired. At 21 years old he’d already lived the life, figure skaters years older could only dream of. A life he was now offering to you, his muse.

Your notes: eccentric, chaotic, more than a little bit awkward, more than a little too excitable, and more than a little too eager to please; at times Heidi causes more problems than solutions

THE PERFECTIONIST

Sun Nari |nb|

20

Description: 6’3. Inky hair gathered in a small ponytail at their nape, aquiline/Roman nose. Big eyes and long lashes. They are long with knobby knees, and large hands.

It’s no secret they dislike you. After all, before you came along they were the one supposed to be scouted for the team Heidi was forming.

They will surpass you. They will do better than you, and they will never admit they watch videos of your skating at night with admiration. Never that.

Your notes: every time you run into them they start threatening to surpass you? Offered them a water and they told you your efforts to seduce them wouldn’t work, turned red and started stammering.

THE COMPETITION

Wisteria Florian |f|

21

Description: 5’6. Hair in dark braids, usually tied up in a high bun. Upturned eyes and a full mouth. She has a small tooth gap when she smiles.

Wisteria was already scouted to play in the olympics two years ago, when she was 19. She trains under the same coach as you, and yet she was the one that was chosen, straining your relationship with her.

She’s arrogant and makes no pretence about it, she’s also loyal, supportive and more protective than someone who’s supposed to be your natural competitor should have been.

Your notes: she gave you a tray of food and other self care products, with the note; for your health. Not that you’ll be able to surpass me, even in top condition. You’re currently unsure if it was an attempt at kindness or if you should be annoyed and seek revenge.

THE PRODIGY

Alexis Kimura |m|

20

Description: 6’0. Angular, upturned eyes. Dark hair, pale skin and pale lips. Sharp features that create an intimidating look.

Everyone knew about Alexis. When he was born he was already proclaimed the future of pro figure skating. After all, his mother was the famed figure skating icon, Suzuki Kimura, and from his skill to birthline, there was no doubt he’d be nothing short of a legend.

Your notes: a little emotionally stunted, more shy than he portrays, and with a good heart underneath, you think you could get along…if he stopped acting like socializing would give him a plague.

It always ends the same.

A glimmer of hope (𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙚) snuffed out before they can reach it. A promise of absolution (𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚) broken once more.

They rage at the world around them. At the prison they can never escape, hemmed in by mist and shadow. At the shackles of fate that bind them, constricting around their throat - their eyes - their hands; coiling (𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙧) until the fight is squeezed out of them completely. Without anger to fuel them, they are forced to submit - forced to acknowledge the feelings they had buried long ago.

Disappointment. (𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣?)

Frustration. (𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨?)

Despair. (𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙘𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙣𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡?)

Spirit shattered, they are made a puppet of destiny once again.

And as they scour the Mists and the jails trapped within - searching for that glimmer that ever eludes them - they wonder how long a puppet can last before it 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙨 altogether.

Far beyond, in a place unknowable, the Dark Powers smile as they pull the strings they have nurtured for millennia.

🍾: Does your OC believe in luck? If so, do they have any charm or ritual they do before a stressful event?

Heidi:

Heidi doesn't believe in luck, and if it is real, he thinks she must hate him. When he was a skater he had a particular way that he knotted his skates, based on what he was hoping for. If he thought he was going to get gold, he'd triple knot.

The repetition of tying the skates is therapeutic for him, in a way.

Nari:

In contrast to Heidi, Nari is a firm believer of luck, likely from their grandmas superstitions rubbing off, though they don't have any particular ritual, majorly because they believe rituals are predictable and are self sabotage.

Wisteria:

Wisteria doesn't have any strong thoughts on luck, only that if anyone gets in the way of her pregame grape juice she's likely to scrapple.

Alexis:

Alexis doesn't believe in luck, nor does he believe things should be left up to luck, ever, in any regard. He does wear his mothers necklace before every event, though, and no, he doesn't elaborate on it.
