Hades nods and barely leans forward to twist the bottle in his long fingers. God, how can a person be so big? The bottle goes round and round and round. And then my heart stops as the bottle slows and ceases movement. I look up and find myself staring deep into Hades' ocean blue eyes.
"You're it."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Peresphone has always kept to herself. She has 2 best friends and manages to stay out of the spotlight, with good grades and following the rules.
And then came Hades.
Persephone immediately thinks she hates him. But then the unthinkable happens, when she goes to what starts out as a board games and soda type party, turns into an alcohol and sweaty teenagers party.
She sleeps with Hades.
And gets pregnant.
And then, much to her surprise, falls in love.

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

King of flowers and death
Humans know that they can't stay out in the middle of the night during days like the Summer solstice, creatures and evil gods can take them. That is why the lonely god of the Underworld, Hades, is surprised to see a boy picking flowers in the meadow while the moon is up in the sky. A human that is so beautiful to make the god of death leave his reign to have a closer look at him. A choice that will change everything for both of them. I apologize for my english but it's not my first language. Also, this was an old fanfiction I wrote years ago, I changed the names of the characters because I really like this story and I wanted to share it with you on this website, I hope you will like it!Complete
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
