[Umbrella Academy x Reader] One Shots & Preferences

Greek Mythology AU

Luther: Zeus

Because of his connection to the moon and space, Luther would most likely take Zeus's place in Greek Mythology, minus the whole affairs, multiple children stuff.

His S/O would most likely be a maiden/man exploring a mountain and run into him. It would be awkward at first, but then they would just meet up there and go on dates.

Diego: Ares

Diego is very stubborn and has a semi-violent power, showing a clear connection to Ares.
He would start out with his S/O after he kidnapped them as a trophy from the war, but since they were so feisty and loudmouthed, he let them go, but they stayed. Over time, they both would grow closer and then eventually start courting, sparring with them and going onto the battlefield to fight with them.

Allison: Aphrodite
With Allison's  beauty and charm, it is no surprise that she would be the love goddess.
She and her S/O met when they joined her group of followers, helping people fall in love until they both would themselves. They both would go through a lot of trouble to get together, as the reader would be hunted by male gods and monsters due to their beauty, but it would work out in the end.

Klaus: Dionysus
It is no secret Klaus has a party habit. and some would argue that using that as his only arguing point would be offensive, but due to both his and Dionysus's connection to death and the underworld, it works perfectly.
The S/O would first come into the picture during one of Dionysus's parties, when the S/O would bump into him while dancing and they both would be enchanted by eachother. They would stay by eachother until they agreed to start courting eachother, with him managing to get the god's to crown them as a god.

Five: Hermes
As the god of messenger's and cleverness, Hermes shares a close resemblance to Five. He's also typically depicted as young, like Five.
Their S/O would be a very minor god with connections to dark magic that he had to visit to deliver a message. They would invite him in for tea and he would slowly become more intrigued with them, making up excuses to deliver messages to them until they caught on and invited them to court them.

Ben: Hades

Ben is very familiar with darkness, being literally called The Horror with connections to monsters. He's also dead, which is a very good reason to make him a candidate for Hades.
His meeting with his S/O would be very similar to the myth of Persephone and Hades, except the S/O would agree to run away with him after meeting him to escape their overbearing mother. They'd then stay with him, occasionally going for strolls during springtime and reading books written by mortals.

Vanya: Athena
With her connection to instruments and music, and with the art in general, Athena is a perfect match for Vanya. The physical depictions of her also match.
Vanya and her S/O would meet during an art festival in which they would be displayed for their paintings, and though they would be compared to her, they would deny the accusations, respecting the god as they admired her. After the exhibit, she would talk with them and decide to begin a relationship with them.
