    Summary

    When champion Xhorhasian figure skater Essek Thelyss shocks fans by abruptly retiring at the peak of his career, he abandons his picture-perfect life in Rhosona and absconds to the coastal city of Nicodranas. After almost a year of isolation, his plans of quiet solitude crumble when a team of rollerskating misfits name him their ‘unofficially-contracted-temporary choreography consultant’.

    With nine months until the Wildmount Grand Prix, Essek must somehow navigate his newfound responsibility while clinging to his dignity. It’s all made harder when he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the team’s resident community college professor who seems to have secrets of his own.

    Summary

    What little trust Percy had gained was now gone, it had disappeared the moment Vex'ahlia's body hit the floor of the Sunken Tomb.
    Percy could live with their lost trust, he never deserved it in the first place. But he could not live with his friends paying for his mistake.
    Vax'ildan had made a deal for Vex's soul, and Percy knew the Raven Queen would come collecting her dues sooner or later.
    So, in between fighting dragons and searching for vestiges, Percy began looking for ways to take his friend's place.

    Being updated as the main ship has changed.

    Summary

    She plays the grieving comrade well. He can play the unrepentant executioner better.

    Bren schools his expression into something cold and resolute. He forces his breath even, his muscles loose.

    He gives her nothing. Nothing but a condescending sort of pity, built from rot and rancor, as he meets her eye.

    “Don’t be naïve, Astrid."

     

    Written for two of whumpster-dumpster's prompts for Whumpril 2025.

    Chapter 1 is inspired by Day 24: Sensory Overload.
    Chapter 2 will come in a few days.

     

    Check author's note for very brief context to this story.

    sequel to one secondary smile (to go that extra mile)
    —————
    After the dust settles, Vax and Percy are happy, and the others are happy for them. But they aren’t the only residents of floor four. Sitting beneath the surface is tension, anxiety, and only a LITTLE more trauma, I promise!
