Although people go about their day as they always do, in the midst of the hustle and bustle, another world lives within it unseen. It's the Afterlife; the place people go to once their time in the Mortal Realm is done. Kyra Averell works in the Afterlife as a Reaper. She's been there since the beginning of time and has guided people into the next plane of existence. For centuries, she's worked with the Greek underworld system and Summoned the people on the List (provided by Hades himself) - the believers of Greek myths, Gods and legends. And for centuries the world's stayed in balance as souls moved on, without a hitch (mostly.) That's until the name of Mason Greenwood appears on her List.
Thinking nothing of it, Kyra does her job as she's always had, but then a discovery is made - the Summoned Mason is not the correct one. He's a mistake, and this simple error tips the delicate scales on which the world sits. As Kyra's unable to restore his soul back into his body, it being beyond the limits of her powers, Hade's instructs her to await his return, while he deals with his temper-tantrum throwing brother Zeus in Olympus.
Reluctantly (not that she had much of a choice), Kyra is relieved from her duties as a Reaper and has to take care of Mason while keeping their mistake under wraps. And although all beings in the Afterlife follow the rules of cosmos, the beauty of humanity is, it doesn't. Humans are impulsive (sometimes more than Gods), and Mason pulls Kyra into his scheme of finding out the truth themselves. 
Together they'll travel through the Afterlife, meet Gods and nymphs and Titans, and maybe, after millions of years of Summoning souls and bringing them into the Afterlife, Kyra Averell, the embodiment of death, just might figure out what it is to truly live and be human.

Hades Legacy (Hades Series #3) by _caitlinemma
34 parts Complete
*to be edited: please excuse any continuity errors and / or mistakes in regards the writing quality of Hades* Ellie is just like every other normal eighteen year old girl in the world, except for one big reason. She's the daughter of Hades. And an immortal goddess in charge of managing suicide in the world. And she's been locked in the darkness of the Underworld for her entire life. So basically, her life couldn't get any more abnormal if she tried. Ellie longs to experience life like everybody else her age, but for as long as she can remember her parents haven't let her travel up to the surface, and she's been forced to imagine the upper world through the stories her mother told and the books she read. Until, one day, her parents finally give in and let her go up to the surface to see the world through her own eyes, and her world explodes with colour. Then, just when she thinks her life couldn't get more exciting, she stumbles across a very particular green-eyed god; one who throws her perfectly organised world into complete chaos and shows her what it means to live in the light. But what Ellie doesn't know, is that the Fates have a prophecy for her. A prophecy that she couldn't escape if she tried. A prophecy that has tangled it's gnarled fingers into the threads of her life, and may just throw the world into the darkness Ellie has spent her whole life trying to escape. "He's the son of Aphrodite, she's the daughter of Hades. He's light, she's the oncoming darkness. He advocates for love, she's the embodiment of death. What could possibly go wrong?" (Third book in the "Hades" series)

Hades and Persephone

39 parts Complete Mature

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.
