The Hunger Games X greek mythology
Zenith Code
In the midst of infertility, war, and famine, the Gould Administration restored equilibrium to New America, his dominion a blessing—at first. To cull the blossoming rebellion, President Gould’s scientists concocted a scheme: man-made gods, products of human ingenuity, to protect us from ourselves. Styled after ancient greek deities, these “gods-on-earth” will quell the rebel dregs and enforce the totalitarian Gould regime. Or do they merely serve a monster hiding beneath an ambitious man’s skin?
Theander— or Zeus, as the world knows him— Captain of Basement Zero’s unearthly inhabitants, must decide this for himself, or risk losing the only family and home he’s known.
Themes
• greed & wealth
• family — found & biological
• loyalty & duty
• inner vs. outer strength
• law & justice
• heroism — or the perception of
• identity & self
Current Stage in Writing Process: world-building & character-building

Moon + Seraph Pitch Week
Witch Hunter Robin X Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. X Blood+
A serial in three arcs (Sunrise, High Noon, & Sunset)
SolCorp was founded to hide the existence of knacked people and their myriad of superhuman powers from the world, keeping humans safe from out-of-control knacks and keeping knacked people safe from human intolerance. So when they discover that one rogue Sol scientist had generated 25 babies with a defective Probability Manipulation knack and abandoned them out in the world fourteen years ago, it's up to SolCorp to find them and bring them back. But maybe their knacks weren't so defective after all because as three of the Venus 25 grow into adulthood, improbable things start happening. Things that will change SolCorp and the world forever.
Sunset is a slow-burn of mounting tension and stakes that only get higher with expansive worldbuilding and a majority LGBTQIA+ ensemble cast that has something for everyone from espionage to adventure to romance and even a dash of monster hunting.
Themes
found family
revolution vs mega-corp
coming of age (older teen)
growth and healing
love
loss
power corrupts
Current Stage of Writing Process:
Sunrise (115k words/245 pages): in beta; plan to release in 2023
High Noon (307k words/683 pages): ready for beta
Sunset: in progress
Artwork by my co-writer and partner.

[FRANKENSTEIN x BREAKING BAD]
SUPERNOVA
What if you held the key to the Earth's salvation... and its potential destruction?
An eccentric Montreal chemistry professor is rumored to have isolated a dangerous theoretical compound with powerful implications for the energy sector. Despite her many warnings, her new PhD students, seeing strong potential for a solution to the advanced climate crisis threatening life on Earth within a few decades at most, decide to investigate the claims. By doing so, they ignite the spark to an unstoppable chain reaction of passion and pride, power and corruption, and unintended consequences they never could have anticipated.
Themes:
Climate crisis
Governance and corruption
Ethical dilemma
Scientific responsibility
Socioeconomic inequalities
Obsession
Power
Current stage in production: Outlining/zero-drafting
WIP links:
Supernova tag
Inspiration/reblogs
Inspo playlist
Content warnings: I do not have a full list of CWs yet because the story is not drafted, but depictions of various effects of the climate crisis (eg. natural disasters, exacerbated inequalities, displacement) are included, death/grief are addressed at points, and there's some violence, including institutional violence.

Around the World in 80 Days x Amphibia x Life of Pi
Beyond Time and Space
IT'S A JOURNEY - A RACE - BEYOND TIME AND SPACE.
When an often-flighty young girl is conflicted by her desire to express her capabilities and her fear of doing more than what she can handle, the moment arises when a team of brave individuals are needed to carry out a quest to explore and gather information on alternate universes. However, the drive of another blocks their path in reigning successful; so much so, the team is left to go on a journey that’s much longer than they wished.
Themes
courage and bravery (as a catch-all term for several possible themes, as well as being the main theme)
coming of age
hope
friends and family
love (and letting it go)
power (and the lack thereof)
loyalty and commitment
Current Stage in Writing Process: LOTS of world-building, episodes 1 and 2 outlined (and still drafting ep.2), first season plotted

Moon+Seraph Pitch Week
The story was revealed to me in a dream (you can just consider it a mix of all the space operas I've watched so far)
Starlight Elegy
What could happen when the forces of the universe bring two people together? Starlight Elegy is the story of Nyx and Ganymede, two people with only one thing in common : their love for the cosmos. But when the fate of the stars is being threatened, this love turns out to be the key. It all began with a simple voice, an echo of the stars, then the tale became a legend.
Themes
Fate, self-discovery, becoming a better person, not everything is black or white, friends to lovers, soulmates, rebellion/war, mad scientists
Current stage in writing process
Draft of the first book is yet to be finished. I have currently 15 chapters roughly written and have a few left before going for the editing part. Then I have two other books planned for the main story and there's a possibility that I will write more for the extented universe.

Content warnings
Anxiety, depression, panic attacks, PTSD, violence, blood, religion, mentions of abuse/childhood abuse, discrimination
Note: the religion in question is entirely fictional. The characters casually mentions it from time to time and it is an important part of the lore.

Moon+Seraph Pitch Week
Comp Titles: Wings of Fire x Harry Potter x Perfect Dark (N64)
moon-and-seraph's pitch week is a good way to introduce my Mysterious Realms: Isles of Ysamaldri series!
Note: This does not have a tag list! Nothing will happen if anyone likes this pitch, it’ll just let me know you think it sounds cool and/or wish me luck in my writing :)
Blurb: This takes place in a parallel (but connected) world to our own. This follows my main characters Myrkr and Sanguine, adoptive siblings tasked with assisting their Isle (read: country, state, etc) with political tensions rising between the seven or so Isles that are in the parallel world. They attend the Isles’ Academy, and use certain events as a way to get into an advantageous position for their home Isle. However, Myrkr learns about a secret and important magic that she had been given when she was very young, linked to her father possessing that same magic before her, and a few things spiral out of their control. It’s not about the petty politics of the Isles, anymore.
Themes: Family, Found Family (I guess?), Betrayal, Redemption, Loss, Sacrifice, Love
Current Stage in the Writing Process: This has been started and redone a few times to get the start right, though I have a few disjointed scenes for the start, as well as a working outline! I haven’t worked on it much lately, but I’m not dropping it yet!
WIP-Relevant Links: I have a few things written on Tumblr actually!
Genre: Sci/fi, Fantasy
Content Warnings: cw: blood, cw: profanity, cw: mild gore (probably), cw: violence (probably)
