Trick or Treat!

And a happy belated Halloween! (Which we did end up getting; there was a tornado watch Thursday night, plus rain pouring down in buckets, so trick-or-treating got rolled back to tonight instead.) The
trickortreatex collection revealed and I got two (!!) wonderful, bittersweet Hadestown fics, both Hades/Persephone:
the tale you tell, that is the spell: This one works in a bit of the circular structure I love from the show, and aside from Hades/Persephone it's got great appearances by Hermes and Eurydice.
A Crack in the Wall: Post-canon Hades/Persephone reconciliation, plus coffee and a good ol' shot of angst.
Not gifted to me, but equally great:
A Slight Delay (Hadestown): Hades/Persephone; this does a lot with both of their addictive tendencies. Angsty but not hopeless.
No Solace (The Left Hand of Darkness): Post-canon fic and a bit of a ghost story. The style/voice matches up with the novel perfectly.
Only Sleep (Peaky Blinders): Tommy/Esme. Creepy, sexy, and sad.
