Summary
It’s a cheesy old love ballad, something tragically romantic set to emphatic drums and a dramatic piano. It’s a song Essek Thelyss wouldn’t be caught dead skating to, let alone pair skating to. The way Caleb moves, how he kicks his legs out in a wide, sweeping turn, the overblown way in which he pulls Essek in by his waist, acting as if they were the ones the artist is singing about— it would bring absolute shame on his reputation back in Rosohna. And Essek—
Essek is having the time of his life.

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.
