I saw her in all her angel-like glory and I felt like I'd been smacked in the face.

So what did my hammered, confused, smitten ass do? Did I walk up and introduce myself? Did I ask her out on a date? Did I admit to her she was the most beautiful person I'd ever seen in my entire life and that I was completely drunk?

No.  No, I didn't.

Instead I ran right for her, my mind completely wiped except for the thought that I wanted-no, needed her in my life.

...
Hayden (Hades) Black is dedicated to winning back his brand new ex, Rhodelia... That is, until he gets completely hammered one night at a bar and (literally) stumbles across someone whom he believes to be the love of his life.  With his life flipped upside down, he tries to cope with a new life filled with true love, loss, and... puppies?

(Modern HadesxPersephone AU. Rated M for language and some spicy stuff).

A goddess is taken to the underworld as the king's bride; her father knew everything and her mother knew nothing. In this retelling of the Hymn of Demeter, mother and daughter will do whatever it takes to free themselves, no matter the cost. Book I of The Triple Moons' Chronicles * Up in the sky, in a world between myths and lies, lives a daughter caged on an island. She is Persephone. The beautiful Persephone, whom every Olympian god wants to marry-they all want her beauty to conceal their ugliest secrets, but only Hades manages to take her to his realm. He dwells below the earth, across the river Styx, between Tartarus and the Isle of Blest. No mortals can see his forbidden land until they pass away. Forced into marriage by her father Zeus, Persephone would resign from her fate. But when her grieving mother, Demeter, comes close to killing all the mortals, Zeus orders her back to her homeland. Given and returned against her will, Persephone takes charge of her life and eats six pomegranate seeds before leaving. Food from the underworld can't be eaten as it will tie one to the land. As her decision pushes her closer together and apart from her loved ones, Persephone's destiny turns worse. Only she may have the power to change her world for the better. *** CW: While written in a lyrical style, this story is advised for mature audiences only.
