Also, Reader is female in this because they're a nymph and most nymphs are female.
TRIGGER WARNING FOR KIDNAPPING!
Once upon a time in ancient Greece, there was a Dryad, a nymph of the trees, named Reader. She loved in a beautiful grove created by Pan, God of the wild, for the local Dryads. Reader loved their home, it was full of live, love, and completely safe from the ruinous hands of mortals, but it was only mortals who could never find this place.
One day, as Reader was tending to her flower bed she hear a laugh amongst the trees, so being curious she looked around and asked the open air who that laughter belonged to.
"That would be me, darling," a mischievous said.
Reader turns, and in all his divine glory was the god Hermes. You greeted him politely, being as respectful as you could to a literal god. Hermes laughed and told Reader she didn't need to be so formal with him. Once Reader readjusted herself she asked Hermes what he was doing here.
"Well, I heard about a darling little dryad with the most beautiful flowers in the world and I just had to see for myself, and I wanted to look at the flowers." Hermes explained, pushing himself off the tree he was leaning on.
Reader, blushing and flustered lead Hermes to her flowers beds, talking about each flower in the garden. Hermes listened intensely, finding it adorable how she talked about her flowers. He wasn't lying when he said he was there to see the darling little dryad. During Persephone's last summer visit she mentioned you in passing and Hermes, ever the curious one, wanted to see for himself.
"I'm sorry, am I boring you?" You ask, looking up at Hermes.
"Oh, no, not at all darling. Keep going, I just loving hearing you talk about your passion." Hermes said, making extra sure he paid close attention.
When he had to leave you were upset, after all he was the only one, who wasn't Pan or a nother Dryad, who stayed when you talked about your flowers. Hermes saw you sad face and promised he'd return another day before flying off back to Mount Olympus.
The next day, Hermes comes back to the grove just as promised. This time he brought with him tales of the outside world in exchange for you to pick up where you left off about your flowers. This went on for weeks, Hermes coming with stories, new seeds, or sweets I exchange for the grove gossip or facts about flowers.
However, as time goes on Hermes gets a warm, fuzzy feeling in his chest whenever he's around you or thinking of you. He tries to keep up his mischievous air but it was hard when you were being so damn cute.
"I don't understand why I feel this way!" Hermes tells Athena as he drinks a cup of nectar.
Athena, not good in the field of romance, walks away to get Aphordite. When Athena comes back with Aphordite she wishes her luck and leaves. Hermes shares his feelings with Aphordite and she breaks out into a big grin.
"Love, Hermes! That's what you're feeling. You're in love with this Dryad!" She says, clapping her hands.
"Is that so? Well, how do I make it stop?" He jokingly asks.
"Don't resist, Hermes. But, I have a few ideas that could work!" Aphordite says as she pulls out a scroll.
***
Hermes, arms filled with calathus stuffed to the brim with your favorite fruits and some flowers, flies to the grove but the air feels different. He notices the Naiads and other Dryads looking somber. He asks what happened and a Naiad tells him that a group of mortal sailors kidnapped you wandered to close to the coast. Hermes drops the calathus is shock, spilling it's contents on the ground. He snaps back to reality and asks the Naiad which way the boat went. She points west and Hermes takes off, hopefully that you were ok.

Circe watched as those crude sailors turned into pigs at her table, smiling the whole time. Once they're fully transformed, her nymphs take the pigs to a pen outdoors. She goes outside to see if those mortals had anything worth keeping on their ship. As she looks around she hears noises under the deck. Going down to the brig she freezes. Huddled in the corner of a dank cell was a terrified Dryad.
"You poor thing, let's get you out of here." Circe says, turning the bars of the cell into snakes. Once the snakes slither away, she calmly approaches the Dryad.
"It's ok, dear. I'm not going to hurt you," Circe says, quietly and caring.
You gently take her hand, and she helps you stand up. Once you're standing she leads you off the ship and onto the sands of her island. You look around at all the plants you've never seen before and Circe can't help but find it a bit cute. She takes your hand and leads you towards her palace, promising you a hot meal and listening ear. You follow, happy to be in the presence of someone kind after your time on that ship.
Once you're in her dinning hall she has her nymphs lay out some non cursed food for you. You dig in and Circe just watches, seeing how your cheeks get full and round when you eat. Once you've finished eating she asks what happened to you. You explain and her grip on her chalice tightens.
"Well, looks like they'll be dinner tonight," she mutters.
"What did you say?" You innocently ask.
"Nothing, dear. Please continue," Circe says.
Once you finish your tale she has a nymph lead you to the bath so you can wash up. Once you're out of sight she lets her anger out, her power crackling around the room and electrifying the air. She knew men could be cruel but this, kidnapping an innocent nymph after luring her with the promise of her favorite thing was well beyond unacceptable in her eyes. But, Circe takes a breath and collects herself.
"Set up a guest room for our friend. She looks like she needs a goodnight's sleep," Circe tells a pair of nymphs.
They nod and go to set up the room while Circe sits back on her throne. She felt bad for the nymph, being taken from her home for any number of purposes. So, being kind Circe was going to let her stay on Aeaea for as long as she liked.
***
You and Circe had grown close over your long stay here. She found it so cute how fascinated you were with Aeaea's flowers and how happy you looked with the other nymphs. You were becoming like another daughter to her and she was so worried about what would happen if you left Aeaea but that was neither here nor there.
On this day you were hanging out with some other nymphs while she watched from a distance. As she watched she heard someone behind her. Summoning her wand she turns around, pointing her wand at whoever was behind her. She looks and sees Hermes.
"Hermes, what are you doing here?" Circe asks, lowering her want slightly.
"I'm looking for a Dryad," Hermes explains.
"Why?" Circe asked.
Hermes explained what had happened and Circe asked for the name of the Dryad Hermes was looking for. When Hermes said your name Circe stared at him, looked back at you, then looked back at Hermes.
"What if she doesn't want to leave?" Circe asks.
"Then can I visit her?" Hermes asks.
"Fine. But if you hurt her I'll turn you into a tortoise and have my nymphs make you into soup!" Circe threatens.
"You really think I'd do anything, Circe?" Hermes asks, holding his hands up in surrender with a nervous smile.
"Sorry, force of habit," Circe says.
Hermes floats over to you, tapping you on the shoulder. When you turn around you freeze im shock at seeing Hermes. Hermes was confused and jokingly asked what that look was for.
"I thought you moved on," you tell him.
"Darling, I could never move on from you. I love you, darling! More than anything!" Hermes says, holding your cheeks to pull you closer to him.
At that you start to tear up and he uses his thumbs to wipe them away before kissing you on the cheeks, not caring that the other nymphs were watching. His hands move from your cheeks to your hands, intertwining your fingers in order to pull you closer.
"I love you, darling. I love you with all the ichor in my veins and warmth in my heart," Hermes declares.
"I love you to, Hermes," you say quietly.
Hermes pulls you closer so that your bodies and flush against each other. Before you can do anything Hermes kisses you deeply and you kiss back. When you pull apart your both blushing and smiling, then a voice echoes.
"Leave her alone, creep!" A trio of young nymphs yell.
Hermes raises his hands in surrender, trying to explain that he wasn't doing anything werid with you but the little nymphs don't listen, charging towards him and ready to fight him. Hermes is just about to fly out of their reach when Circe steps in.
"Girls, leave him alone. That's her boyfriend." Circe explains, sounding like a tired mom and not the powerful sorcerous who threatened to turn him into a tortoise. The nymphs stop and apologize and Hermes forgives them.
"If makes you feel any better I can bring her back to visit." Hermes offers, wanting to make peace with the young nymphs.
They nod, agreeing to this. Hermes, relieved that they weren't going to try an beat him up, takes your hand and asks if you want him to take you back to your grove.
"Yes, but let me grab my seeds first." You say, already rushing off.
Hermes raises an eyebrow and looks at Circe, who explains that you've gotten your hands on a few seeds from each flower on Aeaea, including Moly. Hermes eyes widen at that, surprised that you even managed to find Moly, nevermind it's seeds. Once you come back with your seeds Hermes kneels so you can climb onto his back. Once your arms are wrapped around him and he had a good grip on your legs you said one last see you later to the nymphs and Circe before Hermes lifted off the ground and back towards the grove.
"Don't forget to invite us to the wedding!" Circe yells towards the sky, just before you and Hermes are out of earshot.
"We promise!" You yell back.
Circe smiles, watching you and Hermes go back east, knowing that you'll both be back because you want to and not because something bad happened.
