What she didn't know was that Alastor would be her downfall which would cause her husband's downfall; like a Trigger Effect.

Elysium Stars
Before modern science explained the changing seasons, there was another truth-one whispered in the shadows of ancient Greece, where gods walked among mortals and love could reshape the very nature of earth. Persephone, daughter of Demeter, and goddess of fertility is stolen by Hades himself. As crops wither and the world grows cold, desperate mortals seek answers while her mother's grief threatens to starve humanity. But in the depths of the Underworld, a different story unfolds-one of a king who rules the dead with surprising gentleness and a young goddess discovering her own power. Was this an abduction born of selfish desire, or something far more? Through the eyes of Persephone herself, witness the true account of how winter came to be, and finally learn the answer to the question that has haunted this myth for millennia: Did Persephone love Hades, or was she merely his captive? A historically-grounded retelling that reads like recovered ancient testimony, revealing the human truths behind the myth of Persephone and Hades.Complete
Beneath
Emma can communicate with the dead, heal flowers, plants and sometimes, even animals. But that doesn't mean she's happy with any of it. When her gifts catch the attention of Hades, Lord of the Underworld, he offers her a deal; willingly live with him in the Underworld for six months of each year, apprentice herself to his wife, Persephone, Goddess of Spring, and he'll teach her to deal with the spirits of the dead. But when Persephone refuses a marriage proposal from Prometheus, God of Trickery, and he sends her to Portland without memory of Hades, Olympus or the Underworld, can Emma keep Hades, and his home, from falling into chaos or will her growing feelings for him complicate things beyond repair? Can she learn to embrace who she is and what she can do in time to avoid becoming a pawn in the gods' never-ending games, or does Fate have other plans in mind for her?Complete

Isolation can be devastating. But love...can destroy everything around you. For Persephone, isolation is being kept under the suffocating gaze of her mother, treated like a child and forbidden from interaction with her own kind or the mortal people under her care. For Hades, isolation is a deadly gift, a silent and lifeless kingdom that he alone rules -- and that cuts him off from all that he would consider family. But when the winds of chance throw two love-starved souls together, it heralds the end of the universe as they know it.... #1 in HadesxPersephone (09/18/22) #2 in Persephone (09/27/22)Complete
Blooming Emotions
"I asked him for it. For the blood, the rust, for the sin. I didn't want the pearls other girls talked about, or the fine marble of palaces, or even the roses in the mouth of servants. I wanted pomegranates-- I wanted darkness I want him. So I grabbed my king and ran away to the land of death, where I reigned, and people whispered that I'd been dragged. I'll tell you I've changed. I'll tell you, the red on my lips isn't wine. I hope you've heard of horns, but that isn't half of it. Out of an entire kingdom, he kneels only to me, calls me Queen, calls me Mercy. Mama, Mama, I hope you get this. Know the bed is warm and our hearts are cold, know never have I been better than when I am here. Do not send flowers, we'll throw in the river. 'Flowers are for the dead' --'least that's what the mortals say. I'll come back when he bores me, but Mama, not today." --Daniella Michallen, "Persephone Speaks." The kidnapping of Persephone retold in which Hades didn't kidnap Persephone, but she fell into the Underworld and became Hades' queen.Complete![Goddess Mistaken [EXO Kpop Fanfiction]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/98748073-256-k313733.jpg)
Goddess Mistaken [EXO Kpop Fanfiction]
From having a normal, average life, you wouldn't have known that somehow, I am now involved with the mythological world of gods. In particular, the God of the Underworld, Hades. It sounds like the love story of Persephone, where Hades fell in love with her at first sight, but my Hades? No. He's brusque, rough and more than a little surly. Yet, here I am. The one falling in love with the god who no longer loves. Me? I'm his Persephone, destined to be his forever. Or so the Fates say. They say I am the reincarnated goddess herself, a Descendant of Persephone. Yet somehow, it seems there is more to this than we all seem to think. Perhaps it is more than just a love story.Complete

DIVINE - A Persephone And Hades Retelling
"I've told you, Hades, I can not become your mistress." she sadly told him. She had always lived in her mother's shadow, and if she followed Hades, she would once again be living in another's shadow. Even though she loved him, she did not think she could stomach it. "I do not want you to be my mistress, Persephone, I want you to be my queen," he confessed to her. She snapped her head up to meet his eyes, searching for any sign he wanted to take his words back, but there was no remorse. And just like that, she fell ever so slightly more in love with him. "Your queen?" she asked, she had to be sure. Strangely the word had slid off her tongue gracefully as if it had belonged there. "Yes, become my queen," he told her once again, taking back the step she had taken. "Rule besides me as the goddess of spring and the Underworld." The words don't seem to make sense in her mind. --- Further description in the book --- #1 - MYTH RETELLING (as of October 1st, 2021) #1 - GODDESS OF SPRING (as of Nov 23rd, 2021) #1 - HADES TOWN (as of Jan 13th, 2022) #1 - HADES AND PERSEPHONE (as of Feb 9th, 2022) #1 - GREEK MYTHOLOGY (as of March 29th, 2022) #1 - QUEEN OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of April 4th, 2022) #1 - PERSEPHONE AND HADES (as of April 20th, 2022) #1 - GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of April 20th, 2022) #1 - KING OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of Dec 22, 2022) #2 - HECATE (as of Nov 4th, 2021) #2 - DEMETER (as of Jan 29th, 2022) #2 - KING AND QUEEN (as of Feb 21st, 2022) #2 - PERSEPHONE (as of Sep 20th, 2023) #3 - GREEK MYTH (as of May 6th, 2022) #4 - MYTH (as of April 21th, 2022) #4 - RETELLING (as of May 10th, 2022) #4 - UNDERWORLD (as of 26th, 2023) #6 - HADES (as of April 8th, 2022) #6 - DIVINE (as of May 6th, 2022) #41 - OLYMPIANS (as of Feb 9th, 2021) #55 - GREEK (as of May 8th, 2022) #61 - OLYMPUS (as of May 8th, 2022)Complete
