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

The City Of Mortals.
In case you're bored... Just read this for a second. Have you ever heard of the Greek myth of Persephone? If not, don't worry - that doesn't make you uncool. It's just one of those stories people rarely talk about. The myth goes like this: Persephone, daughter of Demeter, was picking flowers when Hades - King of the Underworld - abducted her and took her into his realm. Her mother, Demeter, goddess of harvest and spring, became so devastated that the earth itself grew cold. Crops died. Snow fell endlessly. Humans began to starve. So eventually, a deal was made. Persephone would spend half the year with her mother and the other half in the Underworld beside Hades. And that's how the Greeks explained the seasons: When Persephone returns, the world blooms. When she leaves, winter comes. But honestly? I kept thinking about Persephone herself. What did she feel after being taken? How did it feel to have her fate decided by gods who never asked what she wanted? Did she ever dream of escaping? Of being free from both Hades... and destiny itself? So I picked up my pen and asked myself: What if Persephone ran away? And that question became this story. But there's a twist. She doesn't just escape the Underworld. She escapes into the human world. And she doesn't come alone. With her are two souls Hades kept chained for years - souls who should never have returned to life. Now the gods are searching for her. To Hades, she is something he refuses to lose. To Demeter, she is still Kore - the gentle daughter meant to follow the path fate wrote for her. But Persephone wants her own story. Even if freedom costs her: her crown, her powers, her immortality. And in the mortal world, she slowly discovers something terrifying: Humans can be far more dangerous than gods. Don't Hesitate, DIVE RIGHT INN!!!
In a time where monsters raged and immortals reigned, two star-crossed lovers fight every obstacle to be together. Persephone and Hades find themselves buried in godly drama and anger and fighting across opposite worlds to finally be together. This is the story of how Kore, Goddess of Spring, came to be Persephone, Queen of Hell. There was no kidnapping, no forced eating, and no ignorance... just a smart girl, a handsome god, and a desire to be free.. * Completed Story Undergoing Major Editing*
