Summary: "You didn't think you lived through adolescence on your own, did you?"
Steve's head spun. Eyes burned. "You-" he took a breath, cleared his throat. "You'd bring her back. If I train your dog."
"Yes."
"And what more?"
"Nothing." The man was still smiling. Steve couldn't decide if it looked more like teeth or knives between the bow of his lips.
"I don't believe you." The spark and hum of magic inside Steve had gone quiet.
"You'll do it anyway."
Steve nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, I will."
***
Steve is tasked with training a three headed dog, that isn't exactly a dog, for a man who isn't exactly a man. But he'll get his mother back. Sam knows better. So does Carol. Steve can't turn away from his one chance to have his mother back, or the lure of the being who offered him the opportunity. A magical realism Stucky fic, loosely based on the myth of Hades and Persephone.
Chapter One is posted, the rest will follow soon; entire work (and the rest of the gorgeous art!) to be posted by the end of April.
