I love this fandom, and it's a pretty big fandom, but I seldom see it requested in AO3 events!
Medium: webcomic
Approximate Length: 2 seasons of ~75 short chapters each (each chapter doesn't take more than a few minutes to read). It's on a break at the moment, so it's a great time to catch up!
Where to (Legally) Find It: The LEGAL English distribution is through tappytoon. There is a Mature (E-rated) version and a 16+ version; for any explicit scenes, there is a replacement scene in the 16+ version. The first four chapters are free to view on tappytoon; after that you need to purchase points to unlock the chapters.
Brief Description: It's an ongoing manhwa written (in Korean) and illustrated by Mojito. There's an official English translation that's about 5 chapters behind the original. Ennead draws on Egyptian mythology and centers on the relationship between Horus and Seth. Centuries ago, Seth, the god of war and sand, killed his brother Osiris and usurped the Egyptian throne, and he now rules tyrannically and bloodily. At the start of the comic, Horus, son of the god Isis (Seth's sister), but not yet a god himself, challenges Seth for the throne. Through the first season, past events are revealed to be not as they seemed, and the confrontation between Seth and Horus soon twists into obsession and desire. (Osiris, Seth, Horus, and Anubis pictured above.)
What You Love About the Canon: It's got an interesting setting and a plot full of mystery. There's a full cast of dynamic characters, not just the leads. Completely dysfunctional relationships and fucked up people, only they're GODS, so they can do a lot of damage. It's dark but also has moments of humor. Gorgeous art. (Seth pictured on the left.)
What You Love About Your Ship(s): Seth is one of those evil characters who turns out to be a traumatized asshole. He's provocative and flippant and kinda bitchy. Horus is earnest and dedicated and also really, really obsessed with his uncle. Through the first season, you're not sure if they want to kill or fuck each other more. They try a little of both.
It's a great ship with ametrictonofamazingfanart (just a sample of stuff from the last month) and very little fic comparatively; about ~150 English works on AO3.
(Other main ships in the canon include brother/brother incest, son/father incest, and a ship with Seth and a foreign god. There are some other background ships: Maat/Thoth is a het ship favorite of mine.)
Content Notes: sexual content, incest (they're Egyptian gods), violence, death, graphic rape, slavery, sex slavery, drug use. The main ships range from moderately unhealthy with poor consent to hideously abusive with no consent at all.
Kinds of Things You're Planning to Ask For: I love modern AUs where they're still related (how do the relationships translate?) and I love smut where Seth gets to be assertive and enjoy himself. I'm planning to offer as well.
