Chosen For Death
The Monster: I am the darkness that stalks you, the whisper you hear in the dead of night, the monster that hides beneath your bed. You've always belonged to me.

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
Hades |Lesbian Version|
| A Wattpad Featured Story | Hades was well-cast to rule over the land of the dead. But what if Hades, the fearsome monarch of the Underworld was, in fact, a goddess? Everyone called her, 'Lord of the Dead' out of mockery since she prefers the company of women. She was considered an isolated and violent immortal, who loathed change and was easily given to a slow black rage like no others. But then everything changed when the dark goddess met the daughter of Demeter, Persephone. Now the tale of Hades and Persephone will be retold with a sprinkle of twists and turns. |LGBT content.

Shadows of Laurel and Flame
In modern-day Southern California, gods walk among mortals disguised as CEOs, professors, crime lords, and celebrities-powerful, immortal, and manipulative. But not all gods are free. Persephone Karras, a literature professor in San Diego, is cursed by her mother Demeter, Zeus, and Hera to live endless mortal lifetimes without memory of who she truly is. Every life ends on her 30th birthday, unless Hades-Adrian Thanos, the feared mafia boss of Los Angeles-finds her in time and claims her through marriage and union, restoring her divinity and breaking the cycle. For Adrian, Persephone is his only light, the one good thing in his shadowed existence. For Persephone, he is both danger and salvation-an untouchable figure who appears in her dreams as a king of fire and night. But the curse is not the only obstacle. Other gods and goddesses shape this world and the immortal one: As Persephone's 30th birthday draws near, her dreams grow more vivid-visions of shadows, pomegranate seeds, and a crown forged of flame and laurel. Adrian must defy Zeus, outwit Hera, and even resist Demeter's wrath to save her. But fate is cruel: if Adrian fails, Persephone dies again, the curse resets, and her immortal essence slips further from reach. If he succeeds, their union will not only end the curse but bring forth a child-a being of shadow and bloom, mortal and divine-destined to change the balance of both worlds.
Hades and Persephone: A Fated Love
"You can have anything you want," He plucked the ripest for me from the tree. "Everything in my world is yours." With all of my mother's warnings, I had been afraid to eat from his table or drink his wine. These were binding things, and I would starve myself thin before Hades and I were tied together by communion. But in the light of this garden, it didn't seem as dangerous as it had in the dark. "I feel your wanting," he murmured and pressed half a pomegranate into my palm. Being in Hades's underworld for so long threatened to consume me. "Please. I shouldn't," I whispered. "Shouldn't," he repeated. "Why, Persephone? Because it is against the rule of the gods?" "No," I breathed. "If I cross this line, I don't know what will become of me." "Let me show you." ................................ 🥇#1 Retellings 🥇 #1 Kore 🏅#10 GreekComplete
