   Summary

   What if Emilia chose to stay in the Elior Forest, refusing Roswaal’s offer?

   In a world where she remained behind to watch over her frozen people, time became her greatest enemy and her ultimate punishment. Years later, stripped of her hope and known only in the underworld as the terrifying Witch of Glaciation, she waits for an end that never comes.

   (I highly recommend reading the original fanfic "The Next Queen is the Witch of Glaciation" to understand the story! Actually, I think it's pretty much mandatory...)
