The story so far follows Caren Navarrete and Ashton Grenville, a factionless "[[{{Bounty Hunter}} ratcatcher]]" who uses a Filipino tradition of magic called agimat and an alchemist Martial Magus who works for the enforcement arm of a major magic faction. This {{Odd Couple}} pair up to investigate a mass murder perpetrated by a mob of mind-wiped [[{{Muggles}} mundanes]] on the night of the winter solstice in Philadelphia.
''The Dread Eclipse'' features action sequences and a detailed {{Wainscot Society}} as well as recurring existential themes, with allusions to quantum physics informing the supernatural underpinnings of the setting. It is also notable for its two [[{{UsefulNotes/Transgender}} transgender]] protagonists and largely [[{{UsefulNotes/LGBT}} LGBTQ]] main cast.
----
!! This serial contains examples of:
* AbusiveParents: In response to Ash talking back, his father literally ''summons a demon'' to torture him until Ash begs for forgiveness.
* ActionPrologue: The story opens with two mages getting into a brawl with a mob of mind-controlled mundanes. [[spoiler:They don't survive.]]
* AerithAndBob: Mages names run the gamut from Soren, Imperia, and Phineas Gadshill, to... Lenny?
* AlchemyIsMagic: Modern day mages, like Ash, still practice alchemy.
* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: Both Luke and Caren use a form of Filipino magic that embeds amulets into their skin that give them special powers.
* BadassLongcoat: Caren, befitting her occupation as a magical bounty hunter, wears a grungy trenchcoat.
* BerserkButton: Do '''not''' use Caren's deadname.
* BetrayalByOffspring: Not technically offspring in this case, but Caren beats her transphobic fugitive uncle senseless and turns him in for a few hundred bucks.
* BountyHunter: Caren's job involves her pursuing criminal mages into neutral territory and capturing them so she can turn them in for a hefty reward.
* CellphonesAreUseless: Magic disrupts digital signals.
* CigaretteOfAnxiety: After Caren [[spoiler:finds out about Luke's death]], she goes for a smoke and is shaking so much that she nearly drops her pack of cigarettes.
* ClusterFBomb: Caren's dialogue is pretty much this.
* ContentWarnings: Each chapter has content warnings at the beginning.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Ash's mother was blown up by a family rival when she was close to term with Ash, and baby Ash had to be removed from her mangled womb. Dark indeed.
* FictionalHoliday: Instead of Christmas, the mages of Ordo Arcanus celebrate their own winter holiday called Saturnalia.
* HealingFactor: Subverted, as this is what Caren's malfunctioning agimat is ''supposed'' to do. However, ever since Luke disappeared from her life, it's been actively causing her harm.
* TheJerseyDevil: Actually a demon used by mages to keep {{Muggles}} away from their city hidden in the Pine Barrens.
* KickTheDog: When Caren isn't moved by her uncle Lenny begging for mercy, he doesn't hesitate to suddenly drop her deadname while threatening her. Needless to say, Caren [[{{BerserkButton}} isn't]] [[{{NoHoldsBarredBeatdown}} happy]].
* LiteralDisarming: What happens to [[spoiler:Luke]] during his climactic fight in the prologue.
* MagicalSociety: Ordo Arcanus appears to be this.
* TheMasquerade: Since mages aren't known to the greater public, they control the media and have the memories of {{Muggles}} erased to make sure their existence doesn't get out.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: What happens to Lenny after he drops Caren's [[{{TransTribulations}} deadname]].
* OddCouple: Ash is a cold, rational alchemist. Caren is a wisecracking, temperamental mage hunter. Together, TheyFightCrime
* PowerPalms: Luke has a magical amulet implanted in his hand that lets him perform a HandBlast attack. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, we only get to see it in use a few times before a mob [[{{LiteralDisarming}} tears his arm off]].]]
* SmokingIsCool: Caren can't go an episode without smoking.

''The Dread Eclipse'' is an ongoing [[{{UrbanFantasy}} switchblade-and-sorcery]] [[{{WebSerialNovel}} web serial]] in the [[{{FormAndVoid}} ''Form and Void'']] [[{{TheMultiverse}} multiverse]], updated weekly and co-written by Cassidy Webb and Mabel Harper.
The story so far follows Caren Navarrete, a factionless "ratcatcher" (a.k.a. BountyHunter) who uses a Filipino tradition of magic called agimat, and Ashton Grenville, an alchemist and Martial Magus who works for the enforcement arm of a major magic faction. This OddCouple pair up to investigate a mass murder perpetrated by a mob of mind-wiped {{Muggles}} on the night of the winter solstice in Philadelphia.
''Form and Void'' features action sequences and a detailed WainscotSociety as well as recurring existential themes, with allusions to quantum physics informing the supernatural underpinnings of the setting. It is also notable for its two transgender protagonists and largely LGBTQ main cast.

* FictionalHoliday: Instead of Christmas, the mages of Ordo Arcanus celebrate their own winter holiday called Saturnalia.
