Fic Roundup
I'm increasingly bad at keeping track of them on DW, but here are three of my latest fics, all Hadestown, all written in the last three months or so.
Awful Lot of Medicine: She samples it on the regular is the thing. Wind, rain, sunshine. Moonshine if she ain’t swapped moonshine out for starlight and starlight if she has. Not so much as’ll have Persephone falling-down drunk—that she saves for behind closed doors, mostly, where her husband can take to his office with a jaw set tight like a snare and the lips over that jaw zipped tighter. Just enough to warm her belly and her head pleasant-like, enough so as she feels halfway through winter already, halfway to home. [Technically the oldest of the bunch--I think I wrote it back in August, maybe even July--but![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandomgiftbox didn't reveal until yesterday, so I'm counting it as the newest.]
trembled when he laid me out: Mortal girl in question raises her chin. Says, “All right then.” [Missing scene; Hades/Eurydice.]
Letters from the Underground: Boss has got something pumping the black, cold blood through his black, cold veins. And something, she will admit, ain’t nothing. [Post-canon Hades & Eurydice, with Hades/Persephone and Orpheus/Eurydice ever-present in the background because of course. I wrote both this and Awful Lot of Medicine for![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
acequeenking , who's a lovely person and who wrote me an absolutely fantastic--and fantastically long--Hades/Persephone fic way back when forhurtcomfortex . I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to repay her in kind, but I've been trying.]

PS I READ MEDICINE ON LUNCH AND I LOOOOOVVVEEDDDDD IT. LONGER REVIEW COMING WHEN I HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO SO TOMORROW BUT PLEASE KNOW IT MADE THE HAPPIEST OF ALL HAPPY AND I LITERALLY SCREAMED AND ALSO NOW I NEED TO KNOW IF HE HAS IN FACT EVER DRANK OUT OF HER SHOE
ALSO THE ROMANCE NOVELLL???? OMG. I DIED. I RESURRECTED. I LIVE AGAIN. THAT LITTLE DETAIL REALLY TOOK ME AWAY HOLY SHIT
no subject
I like to think that he has! Probably when they were both younger and Persephone could still convince him to cut loose every now and again. (And btw, if you want a really good fic about sexy drunk shenanigans, here's one featuring Hades/Persephone BODY SHOTS, and it's pretty much the best thing ever.)
!!! I kind of love that detail too. I'm also just convinced that Persephone has a mild addiction to trashy romance novels, and Hades doesn't really say much but of course he's mildly addicted to them now, too--and that at least once he's accidentally spoiled an ending for her and Persephone still hasn't forgiven him for it.
