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

The King and His Queen: How the queen of the Underworld came to be.
RATED 18+ How the queen of the dead came to be. She was a ray of sunlight peeking through the clouds after the hurricane, the fire that warmed you're frozen limbs amidst the snow storm. She was a dream, she was an idea. The sole thing I wanted, and the only thing I could never have. For everyone knows there is no sun in the Underworld. He is my escape, he is my freedom, he is power. The key outside the cage I have been trapped in. There is warmth inside him. He seems nothing like they say.Complete
