Summary
King Arthur and Queen Mera raise Prince Thomas together as the great nation of Atlantis is afflicted with a plague of sleeping sickness - until they receive a message from a mysterious man in Mera’s former homeland claiming to possess the cure. Our marine monarchs are set to discover whether this claim is a truth or a lie in a desperate bid to save their kingdom as they partake a journey to the North on the backs of their sea-dragons, but a mysterious maelstrom sends them in a detour to an otherworldly dimension where they discover the strange truth about their loyal steeds…
(Loosely based on the 86’s miniseries by Neal Pozner.)

Summary
Arthur Curry only hoped time would let him forget his life – and his crimes – on the surface world. And he did forget it… until recently. Because his former, sorry life had to knock back at his slammed door, resurging like a sand-dwelling mollusk after the sandstorm rescinds.
(Retelling of the comics’ Death of a Prince arc. Follows mostly Arthur’s POV, with a few scenes from David Hyde’s, Garth’s and Tula’s POVs.)

Summary
He was not always on the brink of poverty, a few pennies from getting stranded on the road with no food or gasoline. He didn’t use to live in a small travelling caravan, nowhere to go, nowhere to stay, nowhere to return to.
There used to be a time the road wasn’t the only home he had, though. He wasn’t born rich, any semblance of riches came later – only to be taken away.
He doesn’t know how his story will end. But that’s how it began.(Based on the idea London!Orpheus is the son of Oeagrus and Menippe, daughter of Thamyris – and just like his late grandfather he used to be famous, until he got disgraced later in life.)

Summary
Orpheus was the son of a Muse. He was aware it made him very different from any other man he knew. But he loved his mom, more than anything else in the world.
And then, one day, she was gone.
Somewhere in the end of the world, a manzanita tree grew. And there camped a hungry young girl coming from somewhere very, very far away.(Based on the idea Edmonton!Orpheus's mother was Polyhymnia, the Muse of Sacred Hymns, who was also associated with agriculture.)
