Fics like Kingdom of Shades

Rumors spread quickly through the Crossroads ballet corps, and they're all saying that Melinoe is on deck to become the company's next principal dancer. She's paid her dues. It took years of careful planning, heartbreak and blisters, but now the stage is finally set. It's Christmas Eve, the night of her ascension. Drunk on success (and blacked out on gin), Melinoe makes a reckless decision that will send all of those plans into a tailspin. Her career is left in the hands of Eris Chthonia, a new arrival who would like nothing more than to take the title for herself. After eighteen years of devotion to the art, all Melinoe has to show for herself is a bitter ex, a broken family, and an injury that may never fully heal. Hecate would have her stay the course, but as the losses continue to pile up, Melinoe is forced to consider another path forward. And loathe as she is to admit it, Eris's hands are not such a bad place to be.
