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.

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 ne 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.
Hello all! Just popping in to let you guys know that I have been called out on another “off-grid” job, so I will be offline until about Wednesday/Thursday.
Sorry to anyone who sent in an ask, I will answer them when I get back!
Hi! I just wanted to say that I love your if and I find all the characters captivating and I also find really amusing aeryn's duality of being celea's icon and a loser(affectionate)
Hello and thank you, this is such a kind message!! <3
I’m glad that you like Aeryn’s character, because yes, she’s seen as one of the most popular and beautiful Deities in Celea, yet in reality, she’s an absolute disaster. It’s a side to her that not many people ever get to see, but she lets her guard down completely with MC (especially a romanced!MC).
Chose this Picrew exclusively for the "Diligent God" sign cuz damn right he is
He is Ethan, serving the Goddess of Love.
He tends to wear pink and red for the love aesthethic. And also flowers, you can place any amount of flowers on him and he will be okay with it.
He is sweet and kind.
His exhaustion manifests as chronic fatigue and eye bags (nap and cuddle w/ him and he is yours).
He will go w/ the Fallen.
He will do the poly w/ all the Fallen (and stop the war through the power of ✨ Love ✨ ).
AHHH HE’S SO PRETTY!!
I can imagine that Aeryn would absolutely love placing flowers in his hair.
Also in need of cuddles and doing the poly route, well they’ll be no shortage there (although maybe don’t tell Kyan the bit about naps and cuddles being the main way to sway him sjskjskf)!!
Thank you for telling me about him! If anyone else wants to send in a picrew and some facts about their Deity, feel free <3
What's the fashion of Celea like? Are there differences between statuses and roles? Are things like jewellery and colour a status signifier or just free for anyone? Are there any real life inspirations?
-> Celea has a very humid climate, so light, airy or open clothes are the staple.
-> Clothes are not gendered.
-> There is no difference in style or colours, but there is a definite difference in quality. With Minor Deities not being able to afford clothes of finer quality.
-> However, when working, the Minor Deities must wear a sash of their Major Deities colour with their symbol of it. Aeryn’s colour is lilac, Kyan’s was crimson, Niran’s was orange, Elex’s was emerald, and Hayle’s was turquoise.
Loose inspirations:
Fem clothes (middle is considered a more conservative option).
Masc clothes were much harder to find real life examples of so I found some art instead:
Sorry I could not find If this has been asked. If we choose to be empath route Aeryn is goddess of love yes. So she’s been with others but my question is would she still be with others or will she just be with Mc when they establish a relationship.
Just curious Aeryn doesn’t expect Mc to not be insecure or maybe like you chose those people and I’m here. I honestly think some people would feel not adequate in the situation.
But just wondering I’m definitely doing her route but I’m just wondering she not expecting Mc to be like your an idiot for not talking to me logically.
I’m sorry, but I don’t really understand what you’re asking in the last paragraph.
As for the rest of your ask, just because mc is a workaholic, that doesn’t mean they haven’t been with anyone else. You will have the option to have experience too.
The mc can be insecure and express that, but, at the end of the day, Aeryn didn’t owe them anything. She didn’t know they (potentially) had feelings for her too, and she never wanted the mc to sacrifice their social life for work (in fact she actively attempted to get them to stop working so much).
He is a very stressed deity of love just doing his best.He just needs his tea to cope.
Very sweet and caring in a tough love kind of way. He shows it by looking after the ros.
And because I can’t make choices he’s going down the Kyan/Niran/Elex/Hayle Route.
Oh wow 🤩 I love his whole style so much, it’s so pretty!!
I also relate to him very much, because I too, am just trying to do my best and need my tea to cope csjsjfkf. I love the whole tough love aspect, the ROs probably need some of that 👀
I just know that route is going to end me to write, but I’m excited for it!!
This probably isn't possible in this universe lol but RO reactions to one bed trope? Crushing stage! The next part isn't for any touch averse ROs: their reaction if MC and them ended up cuddling in their sleep?
It probably won’t come up in game, but this is a fun trope so let’s gooo.
One bed:
Walks in, panics and goes bright red, walks straight back out. MC has to drag them back:
Niran, Aeryn
Oh hoho now this should be interesting. Ends up building a pillow wall between you, so you don’t feel uncomfortable:
Elex
I’ll take the bed, you take the floo–ow I mean obviously we’ll share the bed:
Kyan
Shrugs, immediately claims the side of the bed closest to the door. Gotta be able to stop any attackers before they get to you after all:
Hayle
Wakes up cuddling:
Is too tired and comfy to panic, cuddles in more, absolutely dies when they properly wake up later:
Niran
Is so weak to cuddles that despite being terrified that you’ll be mad, cannot find the strength to move:
Aeryn
It feels strange, holding you in their arms but it also feels…natural almost. So much so, that they have to pull away from you:
hi! not sure if anything similar was asked before, feel free to delete this if it was! but i was wondering how the ROs would react to a mc who is like stressed and tense 24/7 but visibly relaxes and kind of unwinds when alone with the RO?
Hello!
Would be so honoured and happy that you feel comfortable with them. Wants to be there for you always:
Niran, Aeryn
It confuses them, why do you relax with them? However, they can’t deny that it warms them every time they witness it:
Kyan, Elex
Externally acts normal so as to not spook you, internally preening at the thought of you seeing xem as a safe place:
MC who is nervous of trying new things like bondage or dp or marking or whatever. And then once they see they can handle it (and like it) starts collecting them kinks like cards.
As long as everything is safe, sane, and very consensual, why not have some fun and shake things up? 👀
