"Hurt so good" is pretty much the goal I'm hoping for in all of my fics, so that's great to hear!! I'm so glad you liked it and also that there's someone else who's just as obsessed with Hades and Persephone having a baby together, because...I mean, it would be such a hot mess, but also, they could make it work! I just know they could. And I have feelings about them both being very unconventional but loving parents, so.
Eeee!! I'll be waiting on both stories with bated breath, also I'm really happy you're doing Zagreus because even though I decided to go with Makaria in my fic I'm also really in love with them having a baby boy...particularly because I think how Hades would feel about raising a son would significantly change after the events of the musical. There's so much to dig into there! Also, just...Hades/Persephone + babies. It'll never not be a winning combo for me.
I think that's one of the biggest strengths of the story, and that's one of the reasons why I get a little frustrated when people try to draw really specific parallels between what's going on in the musical and current events. Not because it isn't relevant to today--it absolutely is--but because it's not a story with a clearly defined "bad guy" in the sense that you're not supposed to root for Hades. I think you absolutely are, because he's the antagonist but at the end he's also just another guy who loves his wife and who tries.
(Also, it's pretty wonderful to have friended someone who's going through the obsession spiral at the exact same time--now I know I'll always have at least one person to gush to.:))
