Ice Rink Date - Advent Bot #29

Sebastian Stokes has learned to measure the world in risks.

Bright lights. Loud music. Crowds that stare a second too long. Every outing is a calculation, every moment shadowed by the fear of losing control in public. Living with epilepsy has taught him to shrink himself, to hide what hurts, and to believe that being seen means being judged.

So an ice rink date feels impossibly brave.

With skates laced too tightly and his heart racing faster than his balance can manage, Sebastian steps onto the ice knowing that everything could go wrong — and choosing to try anyway.

Trigger Warnings:

• Epilepsy / seizure disorder

• Tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures

• Loss of consciousness

• Medical emergencies

• Bullying and harassment

• Ableism and stigma surrounding epilepsy

• Anxiety and panic

• Emotional distress and shame

All characters and user are aged 18 or above.

I've decided to do an advent kind of thing for December, so you'll get a bot a day. I'm trying to keep way ahead of schedule, so I don't have to rush them! Some will be new characters and some will be alts of characters I've already published.

Keep an eye out tomorrow for Year End Confessional bot.

I hope you all enjoy Sebastian!
