Lily is a snow witch with powerful magic and a quick temper. Not the best combination. But she keeps to herself, and the few people she lets get close know she has a good heart, and that’s enough for her. She doesn’t need any drama in her life.​​​​​​​

Too bad she got me as an author.

Her next-door neighbor, Pipaluk, is a mad scientist. A good one. His wife, Emma, makes sure of that. She’s basically a saint, putting up with his random explosions while raising their two children and mothering Lily every chance she gets. But Santa’s elves are known for their quick wit and adaptability, after all, and she’s no different.

Then there’s Lily’s meddling family. They’re in the North Pole, and she’s not, and that’s how she likes it. Unfortunately, her cousin Crystal still calls to pester her, and her aunt Gemma still meddles in her life. They may or may not trigger Lily’s blizzard-inducing rage from time to time, resulting in out-of-season snowstorms, snowbound towns, and confused meteorologists worldwide.

Good thing Lily has a fairy godmother. Wendy is always around to clean up Lily’s messes without her goddaughter ever knowing. It’s a full-time job, especially since giving Lily what she needs instead of what she wants is even harder than erasing the snow witch’s existence from her human neighbors’ minds every time it snows.

NASA can’t figure out the strange weather phenomena. Boris needs an enchantress for his newest book. Santa needs Boris’ new book pronto before Mrs. Claus throws a fit.

Yeah, Lily definitely got the wrong author if she wants a drama-free life

This is a fanfiction, but it's accessible to anybody. No prior knowledge of the game is required to understand it.

I've been enjoying the stories within the Ikemen series, but I usually feel like the main character is a bit weak, so I started thinking about how the stories would go with a stronger main character. Prince Chevalier in the Ikemen Prince game caught my attention, and thus this fanfiction was born. I am editing and fleshing out the characters as my knowledge base grows. Constructive criticism and feedback are very much welcome, especially for the princes' characters, as I really want them to be as true to the game as possible.

Current version based on content from reading Chevalier, Leon, Yves, Nokto, Licht, and Clavis' stories in the game. Yes, I know this is getting super long, and I will probably split it up into several parts in the future, but I don't see the point in doing that when I still have to read Silvio, Keith, and Gilbert's stories in the game. (I have read Jin, Luke, Sariel, and Rio in the course of this rewrite and will incorporate that information into the next rewrite.)

If you like this, be sure to check out A Beast's Tale, which is the same story but written from Chevalier's perspective.

And in the distant future, you can look forward to A Warped Tale, which will include the same characters but have an altered timeline where Gilbert is the main love interest.

Also, there are some Easter Eggs/references to an older Ikemen game called Midnight Cinderella.

Disclaimer:

I would like this story to be as realistic as possible, so if anybody has suggestions about things like historical details, medical issues, politics, etc., let me know. That being said, the game is set in the Middle Ages, but historical accuracy is not a priority, and I'm a bit loose with it, too. (I can't fathom a world without toilets and running water.)

Content/trigger warnings:

There is no swearing or sexually explicit content, but themes and content are mature and include depictions or mentions of abduction, alcohol, attempted rape, blood, child abuse, childbirth, death, depression, discrimination, eating disorders, loss of a loved one, medical depictions, non-explicit sexual content, physical assault, politics, pregnancy-related issues, prostitution, PTSD, religion, self-harm, sexual assault, slavery, stalking, suicide, torture, verbal abuse, and violence.

Thoughts of a cat lover and aspiring author.

Rhodolite's Second Prince, Chevalier Michel lives up to his colorful monikers of the Brutal Beast and the Bloody Tiger. He has no time or patience for anyone or anything that stands in his way, and he certainly never gives any thought to something so foolish as emotions. Few question him. All fear him.

Except for his new maid.

I've been enjoying the stories within the Ikemen series, but I usually feel like the main character is a bit weak, so I started thinking about how the stories would go with a stronger main character. Prince Chevalier in the Ikemen Prince game caught my attention, and thus "A Dove's Tale" was born. Then I thought I'd try writing the same story from Chevalier's perspective. I'd never written from a male perspective before, so this began as a writing experiment and, as with ADT, became a stand-alone story in its own right. You don't have to read ADT first to appreciate this, and although my goal is for both stories to line up with each other eventually, chapter by chapter, I'm not there yet.

At the moment, I'm working on an edit/rewrite of ADT, so there are significant differences between it and this version of ABT. The current version of ADT is based on content from reading Chevalier, Leon, Yves, Nokto, Licht, and Clavis' stories in the game. This version of ABT is much older and only based on content from reading Chevalier, Leon, Yves, and Nokto's routes. I wasn't planning on posting this here until I finished ADT and started editing ABT, but Wattpad removed ABT for content violations, so, lucky you, you get it here!

Constructive criticism and feedback are very much welcome, and if there's something you like here that you don't see in ADT, or vice versa, let me know, and I'll see if I can incorporate it into my next round of editing/rewriting. I'd like the characters to be as true to the game as possible, so any suggestions or feedback on that front is helpful, too.
