When Demeter goes to the Fates, she finds out that her daughter will become the Queen of the Underworld, her fear of Hades overtaking everything else, so she sets on a mission to keep her hidden, away from the prying eyes of the gods.
Persephone wants to be free of the shackles that were placed on her, which drives her straight into a bargain with the man she's supposed to fear. Only along the way, she finds out she has some darkness residing inside her that only the god of the dead can bring out.
Hades knows that the fates don't lie, he knows his patience is key and he wants Persephone to flourish into the woman he know's she can be, who she secretly desires to be. He's waited his whole life for her, its not like he couldn't wait a little longer.
*This is a loosely based Hades and Persephone retelling, it will have dark themes, foul language, and sexual moments, please read at your own caution*
"You can have anything you want," He plucked the ripest for me from the tree. "Everything in my world is yours."
With all of my mother's warnings, I had been afraid to eat from his table or drink his wine. These were binding things, and I would starve myself thin before Hades and I were tied together by communion. But in the light of this garden, it didn't seem as dangerous as it had in the dark.
"I feel your wanting," he murmured and pressed half a pomegranate into my palm. Being in Hades's underworld for so long threatened to consume me.
"Please. I shouldn't," I whispered.
"Shouldn't," he repeated. "Why, Persephone? Because it is against the rule of the gods?"
"No," I breathed. "If I cross this line, I don't know what will become of me."
"Let me show you."
