some cute hades and persephone inspired plots for your dash, since im a dummy for this trope!
1. one of the leaders of a large underground crime operation, hades isn’t one to make connections. he’s had strings of lovers in the past, though none of them have ever been labeled as his girlfriend. his line of work is dangerous, after all; he doesn’t want to endanger anyone he likes. assisted by his two brothers who are more bothersome than anything, he’s always been on co-pilot. that is, until he meets persephone. she’s a young girl, a little younger than him, who’s only recently moved into the city. she’s from the country, and she brings it with her--a world of beautiful spring and smiles. she doesn’t know what he does, and he would do anything to keep that from her and to keep her safe.
2. hades and persephone were childhood friends, but when hades and his family moved away from the countryside, persephone grew up by herself. she was sheltered and protected by her mother, though caught a train out of there as soon as she turned eighteen. her mother finds out and is furious--she demands that persephone return as soon as possible, and as it turns out, the next train is three months away. around that same time, persephone meets someone that she thought she’d never see again: hades.
3. hades is the ceo of a large company within the city. persephone is a new intern from outside the country, and she comes to work underneath him as a personal assistant. her study visa ends in a few months, right after winter ends, and as the days go by, hades begins to realize that he will not be able to go without his little spring flower.
4. hades and persephone have been dating on and off since they were stupid teenagers. he’s two years older than her, and though the problems didn’t begin in college, they sure aren’t close to ending. she consistently leaves him every spring and comes back around the end of summer, missing him terribly. they can’t live without each other, but they can’t live with each other unless they make it work, which...well, might take a little more than they’d both expect.
