Day 2, November 13th, "Always had a Crowd" (London): A day dedicated to London's stylish rockstar incarnation of Reeve's Orpheus, who never walked alone

Day 3, November 14th, "Touched by the Gods" (Broadway): A day dedicated to the Broadway incarnation of Reeve's Orpheus, the sweet bartender who lives under Hermes's wing

Day 4, November 15th, "I Believe in Us Together" (Love/Relationships): A day dedicated to Orpheus's relationships in general, whether with Eurydice, Hermes, Persephone, the Workers, even an OC!

Day 5, November 16th, "If It's True what They Say" (Grief/Poverty): A day dedicated to Orpheus's circumstances and lowest points in his life

Day 6, November 17th, "Spring Will Come Again" (Nature/Environment): A day dedicated to Orpheus's love for and connection to Nature in general, and his environmentalism

For the first day of Orpheus week, about Edmonton, here's an Edmonton-based fanfic I wrote!

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14103420/1/Your-Home-and-Mine

Orpheus grew up with a love of nature and music and a distrust of the industries of Hadestown, but he didn't know the complexities of Persephone's love for Hades until he felt love at first sight himself-and the desire to share your home with someone you loved. Based on the Edmonton version of Hadestown.

Which do you say on accident?

Reeve is reeving

Leave is leaving

Depends on the instance

I’m too embarrassed/distraught/ayidhdheb to talk about this out loud

@reevepheusweek For the eighth and final day of Orpheus week (I am not ready ;-;), here's a post-canon fanfic where Orpheus tries to see Eurydice, things go pear-shaped, but in the end it just might work out.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13928494/1/The-Songs-People-Sing

What starts as a simple plan to sneak into Hadestown to see Eurydice leaves Orpheus in danger when he's captured by the Maenads and forced to sing endlessly to provide music for their revels. Hermes, Persephone, and Eurydice venture to rescue him before even Orpheus's voice gives out. Set post-turn.

@reevepheusweek For the fifth day of Orpheus week, I have a fanfic set post-canon where, despite Orpheus's best efforts, Hadestown sticks to him.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13777475/1/Eye-for-an-Eye

The problem with walking out of the Underworld was that, despite Orpheus's best efforts, it stayed with him. Hades considers this a fair trade.

@reevepheusweek For the third day of Orpheus week, here's a fanfic I wrote for the Broadway version of Hadestown!

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13869291/1/Through-a-Lens

Orpheus watched the newsreels and read the papers like the rest, learning of Hadestown and its world of promises and power. Thanks to Hermes, he knew half-truths were sometimes more dangerous than lies. A study of the world up top and down below.
