Trick or Treat!

[maplemood]

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.
