Line 83:

* Pairings: Mainly yaoi, not always consensual...Aspros/Asmita, Defteros/Asmita, Kardia/Degel, Deathmask/Shaka, Mu/Kanon, Manigoldo/Shion, Kardia/Shaka, Saga/Shaka, Aspros/Defteros, Milo/Camus, Aiolia/Shaka and Aphrodite/Deathmask (both onesided), Regulus/Sisyphus, Regulus/Sasha, El Cid/Albafica, Saga/Asmita...and features the hottest Shaka/Shaina moment you'll probably ever find.

* Warnings: M. Very M. In no way is anything in this epic not M-rated. Warnings include yaoi, rape, gang rape, blood, guts, more rape, war, incest, slavery, serious psychological trauma and, on the part of the reader, a strange foaming at the mouth if you are deprived of the story. Also, it's in Spanish.

* Synopsis: It's an AU of truly epic proportions, and encompasses both characters from the orignial Saint Seiya and [[Saint Seiya ~~the~~ Lost Canvas]], and the first arc is as of 2011 complete, with the second arc just underway. Plot-wise: twenty years ago, Prince Defteros and his army invaded the peaceful kingdom of Auva (a star in the Virgo constellation) and raped, pillaged and enslaved the Crown Prince, Asmita. Unfortunately he was more dangerous than either Defteros or Aspros bargained for, and in the present day, his younger brother Shaka is hell-bent on leading a revolution in Amsita's name against the evil Aiolia (who invaded Aspros' kingdom-[[It Makes Sense in Context]]), restoring Saga to the throne, and finding out just what happened to Asmita in his years as a slave to Aspros.

* Comments: Don't be put off by the fact that this is AU, the characters stay in-character and [[Akira Hilar]] is a fine world-builder. This is an epic romance of tragic consequences, but also a seriously well thought-out fantasy story. Shaka's revolution is well-written and correlates with the events of the past that run together as past and present seemingly repeat themselves (or do they?) with Asmita, Aspros, Saga and Shaka. Has copious amounts of flashbacks, but is a terrific read, fully engaging and enjoyable, and utterly gut-wrenching at times. Worth a mention: little humour. Kanon getting kicked in the nads and thrown into a river whilst suffering a mental breakdown is considered 'light entertainment'. Nethertheless, completely worth it and probably the best AU out there, in any language.

** Contains [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]-Although the clashes between the Virgos and the Geminis form a lot of the tension in the story, Kardia, Deathmask, Aiolia, Regulus, Degel, Shion, Aldebaran, Dohko, Shaina, Mephistopheles Youma, Aphrodite and Mu are all very important to the plot. So there's someone for everyone to enjoy.
