maplemoodwhen i was a young girl: “For you.” Hades pinches her chin between his thumb and forefinger. “Only for you, lover,” he says, and there’s a warning there and Persephone laughs at it. The man’s a pure fool at least half the time, but Ma and Uncle Zeus and all the rest help her if she doesn’t love him.
I don't know that all too many people on DW are in the fandom, but Hadestown is a Greek mythology (Orpheus and Eurydice, specifically) inspired musical set in a 1930s-era dystopia and it's the bomb. I've been trying to write fic for it for ages.
(I went back and forth over whether or not I should've put an incest warning in the tags, since Persephone is Hades' niece no matter how you spin their romance, but in the end I decided that it's a pretty well-known part of mythology at this point and also not a huge focus in this particular fic, so.) (Also, people who get super uncomfortable or offended by mythological incest wouldn't [I'm assuming] be reading in the fandom anyway.)
