''Zodiac'' is an ongoing epic Music/{{EXO}} [[AlternateUniverseFic AU fic]], containing elements of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' and Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire. The plot is: The Fire Nation has declared war on the other nations, and a group of twelve Shifters (and a dragon!) must find a way to stop them. They don't realise that they are [[TheChosenMany the Twelve]] from an ancient prophecy.

** Luhan, the Oracle.
* {{Cliffhanger}}: The authors just ''love'' ending a chapter on these.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Chanyeol, by WordOfGod, pre-story.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Baekhyun.

* DarkIsNotEvil: See BadPowersGoodPeople above.
* DeadpanSnarker: Kris and Chen, although all the characters have their moments.
* DifferentlyPoweredIndividual: People with superpowers are called 'Shifters.'

* FearIsTheAppropriateResponse: When they are discovered by Air Nation guards:
-->'''Kris:''' Now what?\\
'''Kyungsoo:''' We panic?\\
'''Suho:'''[[DeadpanSnarker Yes, thank you for that.]]
* FloatingContinent: The Air Nation

* [[spoiler: ForeseeingMyDeath: Luhan, except not really - he ends up surviving. Discussed in-universe.]]

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Tao.

* TheLeader: Suho is a type II.

-->'''Suho:''' That’s Kris, he’s, uh—\\
'''Kris:''' The only person here with two brain cells that occasionally collide.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: The Air Nation people
-->One of his generals glared at him. “We should not turn away from a battle,” he said.

* [[spoiler: TheQuest: Originally, eleven of the twelve set out to find the twelfth BrainwashedAndCrazy member and try to bring him onto their side. Once they did...well, currently the chracters are kind of sidetracked.]]

** MakingASplash: Suho, the Head Water Shifter.
** AnIcePerson: Xiumin. Basically he can turn water (even water in human bodies) into ice. [[spoiler: Or steam.]]

** BlowYouAway: Tao, the Head Air Shifter. Possibly also Kris.
** {{Flight}}: Kris. It is unexplained, so it might come from the ability to manipulate air currents (see above).
** PoisonousPerson, BlowYouAway: Sehun. His power is that he can draw out all the toxins in the air and concentrate them in one giant poisonous cloud.
** PsychicPowers: Luhan, [[{{Seers}} the Oracle.]] He can see the future and also has AuraVision. Sometimes his visions of the future manifest in [[DreamingOfThingsToCome dreams]]. More intense visions can cause him to [[FaintingSeer black out.]]

!!Zodiac contains examples of:

* AlternateUniverseFic: The twelve members have superpowers similar to those in their debut MV, Mama. The fic is set in a vaguely [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Last Airbender-ish]] universe, but it's not quite a crossover.

* GenreSavvy: Sehun, who realises that if the Air Nation reject Kai, he might go over to the Fire Nation, which is very bad considering that he is extremely powerful and also has a dragon.

* Foil: Luhan to Kai. Luhan's powers are seen as blessed and good whereas Kai's are seen as demonic and evil. Luhan dresses in white, Kai dresses in black. [[spoiler: Luhan's powers deal with time and Kai's deal with space.]] Doesn't stop them from being best friends, though.

** Flight: Kris. It is unexplained, so it might come from the ability to manipulate air currents (see above).

* AssassinOutclassin: An attempt to assassinate the four Head Shifters fails. Xiumin boils one of the would-be assassins alive (see CruelAndUnsualDeath below), Chen fries another with lightning and Kai kills the last with his [[spoiler: shadow ability.]] [[spoiler: Then subverted as one of them actually managed to stab Kyungsoo in the stomach, although Yixing manages to heal him.]]

smashes a statue on the head of a mook who was reaching for him. Then follows it up with a BondOneLiner:
