Hell Is An Empty Body (Book Two of The Triple Moon's Chronicles) - ON HOLD by AnnamitaMuscaria

In this reimagining of the Myth of Sisyphus, the King of the Underworld is trapped in the mortal realm, leaving the world in an unprecedented predicament; only his queen will do whatever it takes to free him from his past demons and save humankind. Book II of The Triple Moons' Chronicles *** Down under the earth, in a world between death and legends, once lived a king caged in his own guilts. He was Hades. The provider of the afterlife, whom everyone, including the gods, feared. They all dreaded him, as none wanted to end up alone like him, but one day a mortal man named Sisyphus managed to capture him. He chained and locked Hades inside a pouch, leaving him to rot between his demons and his true love. Persephone was there heartbroken and fitted into his throne instead. He left her behind to rule the underworld on her own but when the king never came back, she took up arms. How long could she last against Hades' immortal enemy? Could she also save the world and restore death upon mortals? But most importantly could she find Hades and take him back with her in time without ever telling him the new secret she bore within her? *** CW: While written in a lyrical style, this story is advised for mature audiences only.

Hades and Persephone by Teah09

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.

Flowers and Shadows by waverleys24

Hades and Persephone is a story that has so many different sides to it. Some people romanticize their relationship (often without taking into account certain aspects of the myth) while others insist that Hades was nothing but perverse and awful... even though taking Persephone, after having her father's permission, was quite normal for the time! This is a retelling of the ancient myth, with all the ancient components to it. I researched the story from many different sources and tried to make it as accurate as possible. The only writer's license was the amount of time she spent in the Underworld before Hermes came-- I never found an exact number, so I wrote it as six months, partly so that they had time to truly fall for each other, partly so that she would return to the mortal realm immediately after being returned to Demeter. Persephone is a character who understands the place goddesses and women have in the world, understands the normalcy of her capture, but still struggles with feeling like it's unjust. Hades is a god with few romantic relationships in his past (Leuce and Minthe) who hadn't fallen for anyone for a while and wasn't quite sure how to treat a goddess in a realm he never visited. This is the story.

Hades & Persephone by Tonicon

Series 1 BOOK 1 Original Release 2013 "I have no sadness, I have no happiness. I have no love, for I am Hades." "Then why did you bring me here?" I stared at the flawless but not taint less Hades who seemed to be mourning inside. I could see everything, and I knew everything about him. And yet, I do not know if he loves me, and I don't know if my love for him is true either. That is why I will test it with a kiss... #1 Hades 🏅 #7 Ares #9 Persephone

Reversal [by TheSuperSass] by bossy_and_i_know_it

PersephoneXHades fanfiction Genderbent (Female Hades, Male Persephone) All credits go to TheSuperSass on ao3 Persephone stumbled backwards and froze, caught in the gaze of the strange dark woman before him, her crimson gaze penetrating and unflinching. Hades silently eyed the sun-kissed, messy haired man before her to decide what to make of him. There was something genuine and disarming about this young god she found sleeping in the flowers, gaping up at her in awe...

The God & The Shadow by gildedlakes

"Jealous?" "Why would I be?" "Because I know your fantasies." He argued. I leaned closer to him, smelling his overwhelming scent. "And I'm appalled at how they are just that. Fantasies." He smiled and leaned closer, piercing through my eyes with the blue of his. I wanted to grab the dagger beneath my pillow and kill him already. "Are you now?" He answered, coming dangerously close to me. He brought his hand up to lift my chin, our noses touching. Gods, help me. I want nothing to do with this man. I really don't. He hates me, and I hate him. Our banter is not just banter; there's always a sense of truth in between, and that's what makes it all the more addicting. - THE GOD is the master of death and darkness. Lore, previously known as Hades, rarely ever visited the mortal realm. As the gods get involved in a war against the rebellious uprising amongst the dark angels, he must work together with a group of immortals, a ruthless and serpentine assassin being one of them. THE SHADOW is a half-breed. Left destitute at seven and made a killer eleven years later, she leaves destruction and death wherever she walks the mortal realm. Forced into a team unit as punishment for her insolent behavior, she must work with the god she grew to admire and learned to hate. Alliances built on lies and hatred are inevitable to fall. Who will win in this game of the gods? (Modern Retelling of the story of Hades & Persephone)
