#workersweek

[lady-of-the-upside-down]

This is really short notice but I got really busy so

⛏ Worker’s Week! ⛏

Timothy Hughes, the last of the five OBC workers, is leaving on the 9th. It would be sad if there wasn’t as much tribute to them.

So this is for posting fanart and fanfics relating to the workers! ⛏⚒️

The prompts are as follows (starting April 5)

Day 1: Two Coins - what made them take the train, and their first experiences down below

Day 2: The Mine, The Mill, The Machinery - daily life in Hadestown, dynamics with co workers, etc

Day 3: Speakeasy Time - Just moments hanging out at the speakeasy, drinking or having fun

Day 4: Mean Old Boss - How they interact with Hades, or how Hades treats them

Day 5: Papers - their initial animosity towards Orpheus

Day 6: Eurydice - dealing with their newest coworker

Day 7: Show The Way - The riot that comes after If It’s True

Remember you’re not forced within the time and prompt constraints! Feel free to get creative with your tribute to the workers!

Happy #WorkersWeek!

For the Hadestown fandom’s #WorkersWeek to honor the workers of Hadestown, here’s some fanfics I wrote a while back that showcase them! :)

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13768680/1/That-Town-ll-Try-to-Suck-You-Dry This one is a dark story about Hades recruiting a new worker when a mortal intruder arrives, and took a lot of inspiration from the album version of Wait For Me.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13780465/1/Double-Shift This one is a fluffy story about Persephone getting sick post-turn, Hades going up to see her, and our very own Tall Guy (Hades calls him Zagreus here, though that isn’t his real name) having to fill in for the boss. Eurydice also features!

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13790707/1/Through-the-Underground This one is about Orpheus’s journey to find Eurydice during and after Wait For Me, and features a run-in with the workers, a lamp, and a factory foreman.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13882758/1/Echoing-Our-Song This one is a collection of 100 drabbles about Hadestown, several of which feature the workers or chorus members.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13976599/1/Cog-in-the-Machine This one is a CYOA story about the reader as a newly-arrived worker, with the ins and outs of going to Hadestown and working for Hades.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14018102/1/Who-Says-Times-Are-Hard This one is based on Amber Gray’s headcanon that Persephone was complicit in Hadestown’s creation, and shows her giving the workers comfort for a variety of reasons.
