You've been ice skating as long as you can remember.
Your mother is well known in the community as one of the most talented skaters in her generation, and you and your brother had quickly followed in her footsteps.
The two of you are called 'prodigies', something that inflates your brother's ego more than needed, and you're both due to preform in the qualifying competitions and make your way to nationals.
Everything has been going perfect for you your whole career, nothing will go wrong now, right?
Wrong, apparently. Because two months before the first competition is set to take place your brother suffers a nasty fall and acquires an injury that prevents him from ever skating again.
You swear off of competitive ice skating and the following competition out of solidarity, but it appears quitting something you've done your whole life isn't easy, especially if someone is trying to prevent you from doing so in the first place.
A customizable main character, including gender, pronouns, personality, physical appearance, family relationships, college major, part time job, and more.
Decide how you acted inside the rink, were you cocky and arrogant? Shy and modest? Stoic and competitive?
Choose between four romantic options - decide if your best friend's loyalty to you goes deeper than friendship, try to figure out your self proclaimed rival's mixed signals, indulge or ignore the newbie ice skater who seems determined to get to know you, or rekindle an old relationship* with your coach's son.
Deal with your families reaction to you choosing to give up ice skating. Will you focus on your sister's and mom's support or how the decision negatively impacts your brother and mother?
Demo TBA, Character introduction post
Noel Watanabe [RO, they/them]: Since your first meeting when you were both 12, where the judges scored you one point higher than them, Noel has claimed themselves as your 'rival'. They certainly play the part— well sometimes. Between bringing you food after practice and completely ignoring you, their hot-and-cold personality practically gives you whiplash. When they heard you were quitting the sport, they were enraged. Will you dig deeper into your relationship with your so called rival?
Hallie/Harlow Mitchell [RO, gender selectable]: After deciding to take a gap year against their parents wishes, H finds themselves spending their (would be) fall semester in Illinois. You first run into them, quite literally. A blur of bright orange knocking you flat on your back isn't he way you were looking to get your mind off of your problems but it worked. And if it hadn't the sound of H profusely apologizing certainly did. They seem to follow you everywhere you allow them to after that. Will their attempts to motivate you to skate again lead to something more?
Sadie/Spencer Williams [RO, gender selectable]: Your best friend since your first year in middle school. They've seen all the parts of you that you keep hidden from others, for better or for worse. While never picking up ice skating themselves S has never missed one of your games as long as they've known you. S has always been loyal and supportive of you, almost to a fault, but that all changes when you tell them you're giving up skating. Will you find out why your normally laid back best friend is passionate about getting you to skate again?
Valerio 'Val' Diaz [RO, he/him]: Coach Diaz had introduced the two of you after your third lesson, convinced you would become quick friends. He was right, of course, at least for a while. Valerio was obliviously quite a bright kid; helping you with homework during breaks at practice, studying with you before lunch, spending your sleepovers going over multiplication tables rather than telling secrets. It was something you'd always admired about him until— well, you'd rather not get into it. Your old friend seems to think otherwise, if the speed he comes back into your life after hearing about your plans to quit skating is anything to go by. Will you be able to forgive and let your old friend (or more) back into your life?
Meet a wide cast of characters, including other competitive ice skaters, coworkers, classmates, your siblings' friends, and more!
*Valerio has both an exes to lovers and friends to lovers route available depending on player choices
ONE BED !
୨୧ how they are in bed (sfw)
୨୧ cw: fluff???, crack, mild language, gender-neutral reader
୨୧ characters: Katsuki Bakugou, Izuku Midoriya, Shoto Todoroki, Ejiro Kirishima (in order)
୨୧ a/n: ya'll really seem to like my headcanons even tho I hate them, so here it is. Also, I know this is like a really overused idea but do I give a fuck.. no.. and im trying to get out of writers block..
୨୧ credit to @divvision for the divider
Katsuki Bakugou:
bro sweats buckets.. no really, im not joking
he could be wearing nothing but boxers and be burning hot that you literally could cook a three course gourmet meal on his chest
and this motherfucker mid-way of sleeping lays his WHOLE body on you
he's lucky you love him
Izuku Midoriya:
he says the weirdest, out of pocket shit
his head on your shoulder and leg thrown over yours
and he's like "Babe, why the fuck didn't you let the rabbits kill you???" all while he's asleep
you could have a whole conversation with him while's asleep
the reason you know this is because insomnia was hitting like a bitch and he said something and you were like "Why the fuck not?"
And in the morning he's like "Hun, you wouldn't believe what my dream was!" -_-
Also he's the person that kicks in his sleep
Shoto Todoroki:
im convinced this man drools in his sleep.. like idk he just seems like that type of person
insists on not having any blankets.. which who the fuck doesn't sleep with a blanket except during the summer??
and the thing is at first you didn't understand how the fuck you wouldn't die from hypothermia in your sleep
but he gets so fucking warm in his sleep he's like a weighted blanket when he's sleeping your chest
the downside is that you wake up with drool on your shirt..
Ejiro Kirishima:
he's probably the most normal sleeper out of ALL of these
the only thing is that when he went over your place for the first time and you guys slept in the same bed, it was a pretty small amount of space on the bed
and im not saying he's like a giant.. but like he's big, he's buff, he's muscular and it was a one person bed, which you felt stupid about because why the fuck didn't you think of the possibility of a one person bed being too small for TWO people
he probably sleepwalks sometimes idk
I feel like it's when he's especially stressed
୨୧ a/n 2: why the fuck did I add a second author's notes????????????
Shinsou Prompts
You are an assassin, a professional, a contract killer. The pay is good, and your clientele are more than happy to keep your identity well under wraps. You take whatever work comes your way, and you don't ask questions.
Until.
An anonymous job offer. An envelope with cash, an image of your target with surprisingly crisp quality, and a non-descript note, left on the doorstep of your home.
'Kill the eldest royal for the other half of your pay.'
That's how you ended up here. Undercover in the royal palace. As the newly appointed royal advisor.
---
Are you a bloodthirsty killer, or do you kill out of pure necessity? Do you want to fish around for your mysterious employer, or do you want to live in blissful ignorance?
Make or break alliances, and maybe (reluctantly) fall for someone, as you navigate the intricacies of royal life, all while trying to figure out exactly why you were sent on such a risky job (and by who).
Do try not to get fired, and good luck. ★
"The Advisor's Game" is an 18+ (for mentions of death/violence, non-descript gore, etc.) mystery-romance, with 5 (subject to change) gender-selectable romance options, as well as cast of characters to befriend or antagonise.
[note; one RO will be gender-locked non-binary, however all ROs will be romanceable by any gender of MC]
A. Bellefleur ; Aleron - Alize / the crown royal (your target) / m/f
The (supposedly) well-loved eldest child to the reigning monarchs, they appear in public regularly and often participate in council meetings— clearly someone takes issue with this...probably.
A. has lightly freckled ivory skin and grey-blue eyes, in similar fashion to their siblings. Their hair is a dark-ish auburn and messily cut to the top of their ears (fem A. has it similarly messy, however it falls to their chin in choppy waves)
[neutral to friends (to lovers) ; neutral to disliked ; neutral to respected] ★
K. Valiev ; Kostya - Katja / the head guard / m/f
An odd figure, unassuming, almost strangely approachable. They are quiet, and kind, and always smiling...so why do the older guards seem terrified of them?
K. is an olive skinned individual with a small scar running up over the right side of the jaw, and their eyes are dark brown. Their hair is a chestnut brown and is kept in tight curls, though they occasionally braid them (when they have time).
[friends to lovers ; neutral to friends (to lovers) ; friends/neutral to disliked] ★
A. Caras ; Altair - Arali / the royal physician / m/f
Their bedside manner leaves much to be desired, they are no nonsense to the point of being borderline rude, yet the whole palace sings their praise as though they are an angel (you don't see it, personally, but maybe you will eventually).
A. is an individual with vitiligo, leaving patches of their naturally sienna skin instead a pale ivory, as well as whitening some strands of their fringe. Their eyes are a bright green, and their honey blond curls are kept short (fem A. has longer curls, around chest length, that she keeps up in a ponytail for work).
[neutral to respected ; neutral to disliked ; neutral to friends (to lovers)] ★
T. Bellefleur ; Talbot - Tallis / the middle royal / m/f
The younger, but not youngest, sibling to the crown royal. They don't like you much (then again they don't like many people much), but you're not sure about that knowing glint in their eye when you interact— what do they see in you?
T. has heavily freckled beige skin and almost eerily pale blue eyes. Their hair is a fiery auburn and cut into a messy undercut (fem T. has shoulder length hair, covering an undercut at the back).
[enemies? to friends (to lovers) ; enemies? to respected] ★
M. Serrel ; Marin / your fellow assassin / nb
You had to do a double-take when you saw them, and so did they, it seemed someone wanted you two in the palace at the same time...but why?
Marin is a sienna skinned individual, with hazel eyes (on the greener side) and almost black-brown hair. Their hair just brushes their shoulders in length and falls in soft waves, though they quite often have it pulled into a half up bun/ponytail.
[rivals to friends (to lovers) ; friends (to lovers) ; friends to rivals ; friends to friends with benefits (to lovers)] ★
NOTE; for all romances MC must befriend the RO of their choice first, otherwise they won't consider anything beyond some light flirting. Additionally, in the case of A. Caras and T. Bellefleur, the romances will be slower burn (especially Caras).
Rats vs Mice
(To be clear, this is not an anti-mouse post. Small cute animals should be allowed to be a little fucked up.)
Happy New Year!!
Starting off 2024 with a dragon and some bunnies.
