+ Hecatoncheires Cycle
++++ Written by [[[grigori-karpin-s-author-page|Grigori Karpin]]]

A touch telepath and a master planner fight a losing war against an otherworldly thaumaturge, an ex-Soviet carnomancer and a long-dormant death cult. They're going to need more hands on deck.

From the ancient world to the technocratic 1990s, this sprawling epic weaves a thrilling mystery full of faith, betrayal, courage and pride. The hand of the past is very much alive, and even dead gods have power in the time of Project Hecatoncheires.

+ The Phoenix, The Nightingale, and The Magpies
++++ Written by [[[greenwolf-s-author-page|GreenWolf]]]

//The SCP Foundation has captured one of the most powerful mages ever born. The question remains: What will they do to ensure she remains on their side?//

As the fallout of the Seventh Occult War weighs on humanity, the Foundation tries its best to ensure old enemies don't rise again. The only way to achieve this is to do the unthinkable -- recruit its new enemies as allies.

Filled with arson, magic, geese, and betrayals, //The Phoenix, The Nightingale, and The Magpies// follows the life and times of Florence Elsinger, the Foundation's newest weapon against this ever-changing reality.
