Moon & Seraph Pitch Week!

It's time! I'm gonna talk about Call Me Icarus today

Lore (Alexandra Braken) x American Gods x Metamorphoses (Ovid)

Call Me Icarus

These monsters are in every corner of our society. They are heralded as Gods among men, but not for long. I am doing everything in my power to show who they really are behind their masks. Soon, everyone will see these nasty creatures for what they are…

A Tragedy following Icarus as he takes a look behind the curtain of the Elysian Program and sees the disgusting framework that he was disillusioned to. Now the only thing on his mind is bringing down the program and the entire ATLAS corporation. Will he be able to when the world and his body seems set against him?

The Imperium Chronicles

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse x Mortal Instruments x Black Dagger Brotherhood

When the Horsemen are called it creates chaos in Hell, and they take over.  Now with Death as the Queen, War as the King, and a legion of their friends and family, they will take on the remaining Princes off Hell across multiple realms.  Connected through a Web of Lives, no one is disconnected from another, even if those spider silk connections are at first invisible to see.  Rooted in Imperium (Upper Hell), Human Realm (Earth), Uffern, and Pustota, the web will be woven into an intricate and beautiful pattern of violence, love,  death, life, destruction, and ultimately victory….but for which side?

Friendship

Family

War

Love

Hope

Forgiveness

Justice

Atlas' Story — Moon+Seraph Pitch Week

Pitch by me, @moonyswritinq, event week brought to you by @moondust-bard and @saintedseraph

SIX OF CROWS X THE LORD OF THE RINGS

Seven to Die

Tension between non-magical and magical people, magicks, have been rising for decades, now a greater divide between the two than ever. The New Rebellion have been rising in strength and numbers, fighting back against the oppression of magical people, and is rumoured to have an intricate device to enhance a magick's abilities. Kaede Kutsuki, under the orders of the Small Council of Albion, is sent to hinder the Rebellion's advances by stealing the device. With the help of a group of as immoral criminals as herself, she has to manage the journey to pull off the job and to not lose the fight within herself — especially as old wounds open and her past has come back to claim the final victim that escaped.

found family

revenge
