Jake loves Elliot, against gods will. He feels the wraith.
She licks blood off her fingers and she looks like divine absolution. Careful, meleager; This is your sport, but she's not playing a game. Do not think you are safe because you love her. Do not think she will not stain her mouth with your blood too. - Chasidy/ Persephone
She was once a beautiful flower, but now she's corrupted.
She's got fire in her veins, smoke on her lips, and blood staining her fists. But her mind is wrapped in chains, and scars mark her hips; sometimes she forgets she even exists. - Andy/ Aphrodite
She's beautiful, it's her curse.

Hades and Persephone
Persephone has already been kidnapped by Hades, her unwanted and unexpected suitor. Demeter has already cast a famine on all the humans in her grief. Hades struggles to win Persephone over...but perhaps Persephone has always been meant to be with him, and she wasn't an innocent as she was thought she was... Moderate explicit parts. *not finished* "Look, Persephone, you're a reasonable Goddess, more reasonable than most. You have to understand I was not born the Lord of the Underworld. The title was appointed to me because I was the unlucky one. My job is just as important as my brother's jobs. I wasn't selected because of my cruel ways but now because of the way people speak of me and fear me now I am the cruel one whether or not I like it. Do you honesty think it is fair that it should work that way? People take one look at me and assume I'm the devil." Persephone crouches back in her seat. I realize I am standing and seat myself, trying to calm myself. "Do you honestly think that being in charge of the dead and judging them makes me undeserving of love, of a wife? I'm doomed to be exiled down here. I don't even have the sun to keep me warm, Persephone. You're all the sun I have..." *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.Complete
Fingers stained black
Many forget that the goddess of love was born from the raging sea, but she would do anything to protect her daughter. Adora was Aphrodite's last daughter. Her mother kept her hidden. But, her mother isn't the only one who can keep a secret, especially in a world where your role in society is everything. For there was a prophecy long before she was born: 'Aphrodite's last child would be the one to take the throne, Her paternity unknown. They would carve her face and never forget, for she would be the most beautiful that they had met Cursed for the same fate as her mother Forced to leave her love for another The only way she shall break this curse is if she defeats the first' "Looks like the princess doesn't need saving after all." He says, quietly enough that no one else would hear, as he draws his hand away from my arm. I glare back at him. "Maybe she never did," I walk away, not sparing a single glance back, no matter how much my body was begging me to. I fuss over my hair, pouting as I run my fingers through it to put it back into place. *A warning note* I am not an expert on Greek Mythology, but it interests me greatly. Please excuse any inaccuracies in the book, but if there are any please do message or comment it and I will see if I can change it without making such a huge difference to the plot. Also, my main character is autistic and the experience will be different for everyone. I have tried my hardest to put down on paper how I feel and how I believe others see me. So, please be respectful about the decisions my characters make as I have chosen to give them many different types of neurodivergent brains. I have tried my best to represent these in the most accurate light whilst not romanticising them.Complete

Hell Is An Empty Heart (Sample)
Up in the sky, in a world woven from myths and lies, lives a goddess on an island. She is Persephone-the beautiful Persephone-daughter of Demeter, desired by every Olympian god. But when she disappears, the whole pantheon begins to fray. Above, Demeter must battle for her own freedom-from the ghosts of her past-if she is to see her daughter again. Below the earth, across the river Styx, between Tartarus and the Isle of the Blest, Persephone is hidden-entrusted by Zeus to Hades, the mourning king of the underworld, who sees no freedom from the shadow of a lost love. Isolated and caged again, Persephone is no longer a prize to be claimed, but a prisoner with many secrets. And she's not waiting to be saved. When freedom is the only thing left to fight for, even gods will burn the world. This is the first book in the 'Triple Moons Chronicles' series. *** CW: While written in a lyrical style, this story is advised for mature audiences only.

❝I've never done it with a girl before.❞ I whisper sheepishly, biting my lip in the act. "Trust me, little bee, I'll make you feel good." She answered to me in between breaths, with her lips on mine. "Really fucking good." We continued kissing for a few more seconds, before she stuck her hand in my trousers brushing her finger against my slit. "You're so wet." She told me, kissing my neck. Moments later, she unexpectedly started to draw small circles on my clit. "mm.." I moaned licking and slightly biting my top lip. "I told you baby." She whispered to me. "I can make you feel good." breathy moans escaped my lips, while she smashed her lips back on mine, roughly kissing me. Her fingers didn't stop, nor slow down. In fact, they increased in motion. My body shook, from how good it felt. - Willow has never had sex with a girl, nor has she thought about it.

Persephone Incarnate [Wattpad Prize 2014] | ✔️
[COMPLETED - ONLY MINORLY EDITED] ******************************************************** Greek myths - true or false? They should be false, and to 16-year-old Sophie Claire, it's never crossed her mind that they aren't. Until one day in History class when her teacher spends a day on Greek mythology and something strange starts happening - her friends and classmates begin to tell myths about certain Greek deities with frightening precision. And for some reason, she's began to feel a certain affinity for Persephone, the Greek maiden who was kidnapped by Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and forced into a marriage with him. This isn't some coincidence or freak dream, she later finds out from a host of strange individuals who claim they're from Olympus, the grandoise home of the gods themselves. She is actually a modern reincarnation of the goddess Persephone, and she's not the only one. A few of her classmates also happen to represent the gods and goddesses from popular Greek myths, and the fact that all of them are present means that something monumental is about to happen. Something like being the girl to change Persephone's future, to break the cycle of kidnapper and victim - all by passing a trial. It won't be simple, she knows, and she's not quite that eager to take it up, but from the moment she found out that she was Persephone, there was no way to back out. She should've known, however, that dealing with all powerful, immortal deities wasn't going to be easy. They've got a few secrets and personality flaws up their sleeves, and they could be deadly. More than deadly - murderous.Complete

The Queen's Slave (Book 1)
"So." She mused, sliding one black nail across her lip in a sensual caress as she stared at me with eyes the color of molten gold. "You are the one they call Huntress." Disregarding the pain in my side from the most recent beating, I straightened my shoulders and stood tall, my chin jutting out in defiance. "Yes." "Mm." Those intriguing eyes watched me from her languid position on the throne. "But, you are not just a huntress, are you?" I allowed the predatory instincts I usually worked so hard to keep hidden, to surface, feeling the burning of my eyes and shifting of bones under my skin. A slow grin slid across my face as my beast stared back at her through my human skin. The Queen didn't react to my sudden change of character, instead choosing to lean forward in interest. "How fascinating." • Once, the world was ruled by humans and technology. They were governed by a president that made choices for all.
