The name's Clotho, princess of the Underworld.
My parents are the rulers of the Underworld, which makes me heir to the throne. Do I want to rule the Underworld? Hell yes! Do I wanna get married to someone who gave me hell? Hell no! Well, my father doesn't care since it's an agreement between him and his friend. Story of my life I guess. Speaking of which, this is the story of how my life changed living here in the Underworld.

Hades and Persephone by Teah09
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.

Queen Of Hell & Paradise (Immortal gods: Book 1) by BitchIsMyReligion

She has the makings and potential of a queen-- one worthy enough to be crowned monarch of the third and darkest realm... At first glance, a gloomy greek god and a high school cheerleader have nothing in common. One is only eighteen and the other is centuries old. One is immortal, the other is human. One thrives in the spotlight, the other prefers the comfort of their isolation. One prefers being the center of attention, and the other likes to admire from afar. They're as different as night and day. And yet, despite their differences, there is one thing that unites them both. Fate. Cover by me

Hope for the Underworld by MDVidgen

'In a single terrifying moment the heavens roared with a deafening crack of thunder, and the wind howled in a bone-chilling frenzy, as if someone was screaming in agony and unbearable anguish. In response, the earth recoiled in shock; the ground shook violently, jolting her off her feet. As the tremors intensified, a great chasm ripped open, devouring everything in its path and swallowing her in an instant. In a heartbeat, she plummeted into the shadowy abyss, consumed completely by the darkness. Then, the great void closed again, cutting off the sound of her terrified voice, leaving no trace of her presence there...' A retelling of the timeless love story of Hades and Persephone. Though some may argue it wasn't a love story at all... I disagree... Cover by AI Updated twice a week.

Known to be vicious, cruel and deadly, offended the wrong goddess. However he didn't expect the consequence to be a gentle, happy and kind girl. Who also happened to be the daughter of the equally as deadly shadow queen. Will he change his ways for her? Will he accept her bubbly and sweet personality or will he resent it? Excerpt: "I-I haven't been able to rest, I haven't been able to sleep, breathe, think with you around." He spoke stepping closer to me. His eyes swimming with emotion I haven't seen before from him. "When you laugh and smile, I feel as if my life is complete. Just knowing your happy makes me- it just makes me feel like I've done something right. I am supposed to be a deadly warrior, incapable of feeling, but you make that seem dreadful to even consider an eternity without you in it." Read to find out! Fantasy/Romance
