THE SERAPHIM GENE-WAR : Chosen by blood, crowned by fire.
A serious, reimagined AU of Jupiter Ascending featuring political upheaval, sensual tension, post-colonial themes, and a central triad (Caine x Seraph x Stinger) rising against a dying empire.

It was egregious - no other word could capture the horror seared across his vision.
Comatose bodies lie scattered across scorched ground. Newborn to elder, no one spared. Mechanical coils descend from the broken sky - splitting into needle-fine strands that pierce flesh, drain genomes, and leave behind gray husks twitching in the breeze.
"This is an ideal Harvest," whispers a lone figure, fingers brushing across a rising stream of light. "Beware of it... for it comes your way. It is their Herald."

Seraph Luppiter Jones never expected to survive a state-sanctioned fire, much less be reborn as a royal recurrence in exile. Working under-the-table construction jobs by day and mopping floors at a fertility clinic by night, his life changes when a soldier-splice with haunted eyes mistakes him for the most dangerous woman ever to exist.
But Seraph is no woman. He is the first male recurrence of Seraphi Abrasax - and his existence unravels the very laws the Entitled use to maintain genetic dominance.
With splices enslaved, entire planets bled dry, and the bloodlines of the powerful drawing knives over inheritance, Seraph refuses to become a puppet monarch. Instead, he rises - forging an empire from the bones of rebellion.
At his side are Caine Wise, a Skyjacker bred for violence and trained for loyalty, and Stinger Apini, a disillusioned soldier who once believed in nobility. Between the three of them lies the future of a revolution - and the fragile hope of a galaxy that's forgotten what it means to be free.
He is not here to preserve the throne. He is here to burn it down.
