Relationship Moodboard: HADES & PERSEPHONE

“I can be anything you want me to be.” His voice pricks like grit under my nails, pinching, his weight pressing me against the wall-plate. “The old gods twisted themselves into swans just to chase skirts. Imagine what I could bring myself to become—” Killer, killer, king— “Chasing after a queen like you.”

His hands tell me to stand still (What’ll crack first under the pressure?); his eyes are demanding a fight. His grip, my voice, the metal wall-plate: even the air stings with ice. “Even if you don a sheep’s skin, you’re still a wolf. You’re not innocent. You’ll never be innocent. You—You’re just one hell of an actor, Hades, and I’ve already peeked behind the curtains.”

“The delusion died, but you’re still here,” he whispers. “You must have liked what you saw.”

Short and cute Hadestown fluff fic involving our two favorite gods

Hades was absolutely exhausted.

The king rubbed his eyes again, shutting the door to his study waiting for the satisfying click. Nothing was more satisfying to the tired king than knowing he could finally sleep, weather it be past midnight or not. Hades wondered down the hall of his house, almost reaching the bedroom, only to stop when a loud crash sounded from downstairs.

“Persephone?” He called heading toward the stairs, pinpointing the crash to the kitchen. Why wasn’t she sleeping? Hades assumed she’d gone to bed hours ago, but to be fair he hadn’t left his office all day. He never seemed to anymore.

Another loud crash came from the kitchen, and Hades took off running towards his wife. The kitchen was quite the comical sight. Bowls and baking dishes lined the counter, only to be met with trails of flour and other ingredients filling the rest of the space. And in the center of it all was his wife, with her back facing the doorway.

“Lover, what are you doing?” Hades asked, taking the flask away from his wife’s side before she could notice. “Bakin’ a pie.” She slurred in an attempt to answer. She raised one of the containers preparing to dump the flour into her bowl. Hades snaked his arms around his wife’s waist.

“That’s sugar.”

“Oh.”

Persephone leaned back onto Hades, and he kissed her neck. “Come to bed, Seph.” He rumbled, his breath making the hairs on her neck stand up. “Alright.” She said, not wanting to protest. She was exhausted, and extremely drunk. Persephone wanted more than anything to curl up with her husband and sleep.

“What about my pie?” Persephone asked, almost laughing at her drunken attempt at a pie. She wasn’t a good cook sober, and her determination wasn’t enough when it came to the skill.

“We can clean it up tomorrow.” Hades answered, as Persephone grinned like a cat at her husband. “Alright.”

The king and queen walked upstairs abandoning the large mess in the kitchen for the time being. Hades sat Persephone on the bed, retrieving a night dress for his wife from the closet.

“I can function perfectly fine by myself.” She said, and Hades nodded. “I know, but you don’t have too.” He replied, brushing her wild curls away from her face.

“I love you, Hades.”

“I love you too, Seph.”

"this is a gift, it comes with a price" maybe? f&tm is like my fave tbh ❤❤

Thanks so much for sending in a prompt!! I love f&tm too, I always get such ethereal vibes listening to their music 💖 

also i’m sorry i have like a blatant and somewhat intentional misunderstanding of how prompt starters are supposed to be used

Persephonefeels naked, but it has very, very little to do with the thin sheets tucked againsther chest.

Hades standsin the closet doorway, glowing red under the error message lighting up the shell-plateson the walls: Error connecting to Demeter,please follow your designated procedure for manual reboot. He only looks ather like this when the shell-plates are disconnected, when the cameras are off,when the Overs have been shut out of their—out of his room, equally prison and paradise. Looking at her like she’simportant, like she knows something, like she’s an answer, like she’s—

Real.

It leavesher feeling bare. As if upon peeling her from her clothes Hades had also peeledaway her ID and her skin and her walls, like she is a map unfurled, everycorner stretched and exposed.

Hades’seyes are bathed red, error, error, ashe steps forward and tosses the red orb in his hands. She catches it—heavy, theskin mottled but smooth under her roaming fingers.

She has aquestion—she has a million questions, but not enough time to even begin asking—butit’s not about the fruit as much as it’s about them. “What is this?”

“This isa gift,” Hades murmurs, a stolen kitchen knife in his hand as he sits next toher on the bed.

“It comeswith a price,” she whispers. “You’re expecting a gift in return.”

“Everythingcomes with a price.” He takes the fruit from her and sinks the tip of the bladein, red tears streaking down the knife. His voice is low, all whisper and wilt,weaving in her head. “We prefer the silent prices that others pay for us. Evenwhen we don’t notice, someone pays.”

A fewseeds spill free in his hands, bouncing onto the sheets, as he hands her halfof the pomegranate. She splits seeds between her teeth, the fruit crumblingunder her teeth. The sweet-sour-stick of juice runs down her fingers, curlingdown her forearm, nestling against the lines of her veins. “And the price I’m paying—whatis it?”

“Your trust.” Red stains Hades’s lips.

She hums—plucksa seed from his half of the pomegranate. “You’re not much of a gift. More of acurse.”  

“A curse,a gift—I’m what you asked for.”

“I suppose. I neversaid I was innocent in orchestrating my damnation.” Her eyes wander: red undertheir fingernails, red staining the prints of their hands, red soaking into thesheets. It is not the first time this room has seen red. “And what will theprice become, when you decide you want more than my trust?”

Hadessmiles. He is red, red, stained and sour and smiling. “You shouldn’t be so quickto dismiss the value of your trust, Seph. It might be the only thing that everbelonged to you—and now it’s mine.”

Sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell. Hades and Persephone

Thanks for sending a prompt, anon! 💖 Sorry this took a while! 

Hades looksat her gently, scraping his jaw against the curve of her leg. Things have to begentle tonight—the shell-plates are connected, the Overs could be watching, theirinevitable exhibitionism a calculated facet of how he’s looking at her. It fills her with loathing, rose-thorns pricking in her stomach, to never know these intimacies can never be trusted, that their romance will always be treated as theater. Still,he smiles at her—sated, revealing teeth. “What are you thinking?”

“I’m not,”she says, fingers roaming the trimmed field of his hair.

“No. You’rethinking something—I can hear the ground churning in that head of yours.”

“Maybe I’mnot. I don’t have to use this beautiful, bursting brain of mine every second,you know.” She smiles down at him, a giggle spilling from her, her fingersspringing patterns on his shoulders as his lips graze her stomach. “I’m just agirl trying to survive this beast of a world, Hades.”

“No,” herepeats, but there’s laughter softening the curves of his teeth when he nips ather. “You are never—never ‘just’ a girl, Persephone. You are… even in yourmoments of weakness, in all your fragility, for all your uprooting… you are awoman, a Goddess. Sweeter than heaven,” He presses his laughter to her chest,to her throat, his weight pressing her into the bed, “Hotter than hell.”

She bursts with laughter that even his cold kiss can’t quell.

"there's no salvation for me now" for the Florence and the machine prompts?

Thanks for sending in a prompt, anon! Sorry it took a while 💖

Hades ishuman.

Persephonehas told herself this many times, a mantra swallowed down to calm her thistle-tornnerves. Even after letting her fingers roam his skin, Hades being made of bloodand flesh was not a sure thing. She has swallowed fruits and carved her fingersinto soil only to awake in a SimSet too many times to trust what she feels. Butseeing Hades as he steps into the hallway, bright lights flooding over hisangles—he doesn’t look like a Venter, or a Liar, or a Blasphemer, or any otherterrible thing that she knows he is.

He looks…entirely human.

“You’restaring.”

She knowsit’s a warning that lingers under his words, but a smile unfurls across her face.“Staring isn’t against the rules.”

Hereaches for her, one hand on her shoulder—curling up to her neck, to the sideof her jaw, pulling her into the space between them. She desires—sweetnothings. Anticipates—sour somethings. “You know better than to hover over me,Seph.”

“I know. It’sa dangerous risk I’m taking, walking you out of my own room.” Persephone laughs,softly, trying to ignore the cold clamp of his gloved fingers, failingmiserably. The laughter in her voice quivers. “I’ve seen too much. There’s nosalvation for me now.”

His eyesmeet hers, shadowed thoughts swimming in his gaze. “I’ve never tempted you withconcepts of salvation. I wouldn’t know anything about it, if it’s what you werehoping for.”

She takesa deep breath—tastes the chemicals on his gloves, the musty sour of his Venteruniform—as she leans into him, her whisper scraping the scruff of his jaw. “DoI seem like someone who needs saving to you?”

“You seemto me like someone who doesn’t know what she’s getting into.” His growl grinds asif unused gears are pushing against each other in his chest. “This is a seed we’replanting, Persephone. It might bloom. It might rot. No matter what springs, itwill never gather itself back into its seed.”

Shetraces over the prickle of his jaw, grazing over dark hairs, finding the marks inhis skin where his mask had dug in. “…Tell me. Honestly. Do I need saving?”

Hadessmiles. “You’re not a damsel in distress. If it comes to it, you’ll saveyourself.”
