#Hades and Persephone ficlets

[genericpuff]

How do you feel about the other Greek Myth Retellings in webtoon? Like Hades and Persephone ficlets, Mythos Redone and Punderworld.

The only one I'm up to date on rn is Punderworld and it's been pretty cute! Sigeel is a great artist and I adore their work.

As for Hades and Persephone Ficlets, I've started reading it but haven't made it very far yet, I love the style of it though!

I haven't read Mythos Redone yet, but I'll add it to the list! The art looks very charming and cute :00 <3

Honestly I know this wasn't really part of the question but I think it's a shame that a lot of these comics often get a lot of harassment/judgment from the LO fanbase, they're all great comics in their own right and if anything, I think comics like LO should inspire more people to undertake projects like these, not discourage people because "you're just copying LO" because, first off, who cares whether or not someone was inspired by LO, and second, LO is also just fanfiction of Greek myth at the end of the day. That's the beauty of it - the styles and narrative choices are unique, but the recipe underneath is the exact same.

Either way, I'm hyped for Punderworld to come back at the very least, whenever that ends up happening. And I'll definitely be catching up on HxP ficlets and starting up Mythos Redone as soon as I can! <3

Flash Fic: The Gardens of Hades

The gardens of Hades are barren when I come.

He snatches me from the sunlit lands and carries me to the underworld, a dark chasm lit only by the distant flames of Tartarus. His house is of black marble, and as he drags me through the shadowed halls, I try to empty my mind of everything but this moment.

I know the stories. I know that the gods have cruel desires.

Instead, he opens the door to a walled garden. A black pool glitters at the centre. Naked sticks rattle in the earth, but nothing lives here.

“This is yours, Lady Persephone,” he says.

Then he leaves.

.

I’m just glad Hades leaves me alone, so I don’t ask questions. I infuse the pool with light and call grass and asphodel from the dead soil.

When he visits again, he comes with a gift.

“I have brought you a servant.” A veiled shade follows him into the garden.

I wonder if he wants me to thank him for giving me a slave when I once had friends, a desert when I once had flowers.

I wonder why he took me.

Hades inspects a young shrub. “What’s this?”

“A pomegranate,” I say.

For a moment, I think he’s going to speak. Then he swallows the impulse and leaves.

.

On the day my pomegranate tree blooms, I find the shade sitting beneath the tree wiping her eyes with her veil. She says her first word: Springtime.

Little by little, she remembers how to speak. She talks about finishing this garden and moving on, the underworld blooming under my touch.

She doesn’t remember her name, so I call her Lethe.

.

My pomegranate tree bears fruit, but as I peel it open Lethe grabs my wrist. “If you eat, you will become a creature of his realm.”

I hurl the fruit at the wall.

.

It’s only a matter of time till my mother finds me.

Hades keeps sending gifts: servants, seeds, pruning-hooks and shovels. As the garden fills with life, so do the shades. The third time he visits, he dismisses the servants and looks at me with tired eyes. I wonder if he is always this sad.

“Your mother grieves without hope. Crops and men die, and no one sacrifices to the gods.” He sighs. “I am to send you back.”

Back to the home he took from me. Back to mother and wind and sunlight, but first I have one question.

“Why did you take me?” I spit.

He is the lord of the dead. He cannot sugar his words, as other gods might. “I need you,” he admits.

I think of Lethe, and to my surprise, I understand. I am springtime, but he is pain. No wonder the dead suffer, if that is all he can give them.

Before he can stop me, I rip open a pomegranate, and the juice is sour on my tongue.

The gardens of Hades are barren when I come.

But where I tread, they bloom. ---- I wrote this flash fic for the Pilgrim Artists' Festival, a small Christian festival of art, music, and words which runs every year in Tasmania's Huon Valley. The theme for the 2019 festival was "Grief and Hope", and I at once thought of Dorothy Sayers' poem, Rex Doloris, which imagines Hades as the King of Grief. This is the 500-word short story that resulted. I'd been looking for a way of retelling the story for nearly as long as I can remember, and this ficlet is the first step in that process. I can promise you that it won't be the last.

The 2023 Pilgrim Artists' Festival is now open for submissions of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, art, and music from Christian, Nicene-Creed-affirming artists, including children and adults, anywhere in the world. This year's prompt is "Beauty in the Everyday" and there is a 500 word limit on literary entries. There are also dozens of prizes available - check them out and submit here.

"So, what relationships inspire your Ebeness ship?"

^^^(Thinking more of them from the actual novel.) Because you bet your patootie Eb and Bess would go all badass and take on an ancient, dark force of evil and kick its ass together. (Note to self, make an oc to use Anthony Hopkins as faceclaim.)

^^^I've never been an Addams Family fan--just not my cup of tea. But even I'm aware of Morticia and Gomez's relationship. If that ain't Ebeness, idk what is.🥺

This amazing art AND This amazing art

Same as how your Hades and Persephone your grandparents had your mother Macaria and how most other godly children are born.

Although Thanathos your dad was a bit different but you haven't dared ask how exactly grandma Nyx made him without a father. Getting the normal birds and the bees talk was more than enough.

You are the child of Death. Everyone always assumes that you were adopted, but you are in fact Death's biological child, although they are unwilling to tell how exactly this happened.

"My dear wife, I hope you don't plan to accomplish anything for a few days. I intend on taking you to bed and keeping you there. I want to lick the sweat from your skin while I reaquaint my cock with your sweet cunt. If you thought I was insatiable before, you will see me ravenous."

[ye4gerism]

This has been on my mind for a while and I’m kinda surprised no body really wrote about it but could you please do one were reader basically gets into curly’s ass about jimmy but it kinda leads into a lil heated argument you can chose if it ends on a good note also have a good morning, day or night 😊

𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐊, 𝐄𝐆𝐆𝐒, 𝐋𝐄𝐅𝐓𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐄 - 𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐋𝐘 𝐗 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑

author’s note sorry for the radio silence. i’ve been suffering from writer’s block. working retail during the holidays will do that to you. anyway, enjoy this ficlet.

You were starting to wake. Through your eyelids, you noticed how the room around you began to brighten up. You let out a groan and turn onto your side before proceeding to tap your hand on the side where Curly normally slept…and yet you felt nothing there. Your eyelids flick open in horror.

Curly's side of the bed was empty. You sit up, frantic. Where was he? You look at his dresser, then yours - no note. You scan the room and there isn't any sign that he's gone.

You scoot off the bed and go downstairs. As you descend, you can hear his voice. You follow it into the kitchen where you finally see him standing there, still in his boxers, one hand on his hip, and the other holding his phone against his ear. He looks frustrated, must be that pony job he always complains about.

Curly acknowledges you with a smile before focusing once again on his conversation. "No, that makes no sense! I already told you I was coming here!"

You walk up behind Curly and lean against his back. Your hands run up his torso, feeling up his pectorals and his abs.

“Alright, Jimmy,” he says.

Of course.

You pull away at the sound of that name. You didn't really like how Jimmy presented himself; there was a strange amount of jealousy from his end and he could just never be happy for others. There was already a mutual dislike for each other but your boyfriend, Curly being Curly, takes his job too seriously and lets it spill into his personal life. He thinks he can H.R. his way into making you and Jimmy friends or, at least, respect each other.

Curly hangs up and turns around to greet you. "Good morning, sweetheart." He lights up with these words, no sign of being bothered by his conversation. You decide not to say anything at first. If anything, you were a little annoyed - if he was going to wake up before you, you'd at least hope he'd go out on a run or maybe surprise you with a sweet treat or flowers. You open the fridge in search of something to eat. Milk, eggs, leftover pomegranate.

"Babe?" Curly's head pokes over the fridge. "I said good morning."

You decide to eat the pomegranate for breakfast. Wouldn't want it to go bad.

"I bet it is. How's your boyfriend?" you ask. Curly's face drops. You close the fridge and take a seat by the island counter.

"Hey, don't walk away from me. What's up with you?" he asks. You shoot him a look, then your eyes move to his phone. Curly eyes follow yours and it hits him once his eyes settle on his phone.

"Please don't start. Not this morning."

"Oh, so you're aware. Perfect!" You place your cut pomegranate back in the bowl. "My question is just why? Why do you give him so much...control?"

"Control? I am my own man, you know. Captain of my own ship." You must have hit a nerve because Curly normally doesn't get defensive like this. Using his title to make him seem better? Not a usual practice of his.

"You deliver shit! People at NASA get to brag about going to space to explore! You don't. So don't let your ego get in the way of me questioning your relationship with your idiot friend."

He was Persephone, Jimmy was Hades, and like Demeter, you only had Curly for the spring and summer.

You both stare intensely at each other for a moment and it was the 'let's just hop in the sheets and fuck it out' intensity. You both were genuinely pissed at each other. 

"I'm going to step out," Curly says breaking the silence. He starts to make his way up the stairs. "Yeah, avoid the question of Jimmy, like you always do!" you yell at him.

"Shut up!" He's halfway up the stairs. Your head cocks back. "Did you tell me to shut up?" He's never spoken to you like that - you're not even sure he's spoken to anyone like that.

Curly realizes what he's just said and is equally as shocked by his own mouth. He rushes down the stairs and reaches out to you. When he's close, you turn your body away. "Hey..." he pleads.

"Curly...please go. Go anywhere. I don't know. Go call Jimmy or something. Just get out of my sight." You push your bowl of fruit away from you. Still refusing to face him, you continue, "I will not allow you to talk to me like that. Especially, especially, if we're talking about Jimmy. You must be out of your fucking mind."

He lingers before finally giving in. "Ok...I'll step out for a bit." Curly hesitantly places a hand on your back. You don’t tell him off or recoil. “I’m sorry and…and I shouldn’t have said that to you.”

Of course, he wasn’t going to acknowledge the actual problem - Jimmy. So you choose to let it go because it’s all you can do. Curly gives you the day to yourself before coming home for dinner. A bouquet of your flowers and tons of kisses make up for the quarrel for now.

Ok, with the "Hades" game finally getting a sequel and the "Hades and Persephone Ficlets" Webtoon going over the story, I present the following idea for Rick Riordan should he see it:

*cue Nico and Mr. D sitting on the porch playing Mythomagic*

Nico: And I place down Hades. And with the Persephone card next to it, they both now deal double damage.

Mr. D: Not a bad move, kid. You even changed your Demeter card from a Grass variant to an Ice variant.

Nico: I gotta say, this is nice. As much as I like hanging out with Will, it's nice to just spend a little quiet time with a fellow introvert.

Mr. D: Kid, if you've seen some of my parties, you would NOT be calling me an introvert. But yeah, you are one of the more tolerable campers.

Nico: Thanks, I guess?

Mr. D: You know, you actually remind me of myself when I was your age.

Nico: Isn't that just something old people say to feel young again?

Mr. D: I'm trying to compliment you, don't blow it. Anyways, we really have more in common than you think.

Nico: What, you like Happy Meals too?

Mr. D: No. Well, maybe if there's a good prize inside, but no. I'm saying you're not the first son of Hades to get stuck somewhere and essentially lose your old life.

Nico: Son of Hade- but you're the son of Zeus!

Mr. D: I wasn't always

Nico: Wait, so you got stuck at the Lotus Casino too?!?

Mr. D: Not exactly, kid. You see *places down the Dionysus card* this wasn't always my name

Nico: What, you mean this is about your Roman form?

Mr. D: No. This is something else entirely. My name actually used to be-

*places down the Zagreus card and the camera zooms in on it and the story begins*

I call it Kid Z: Mr.D Origins

[a-gnosis]

I wanted to ask about Aphrodite and Persephone relationship in Eros and Psyche myth. I know it's probably not so supposed to be but I find it funny that Aphrodite sent Psyche to retrieve Persephone's make up box(?) but it's filled with darkness(poison?) that could put Psyche to sleep.

Cuz in context Psyche told Persephone that Aphrodite would like to borrow some of her beauty kit. So I've wondered if Persephone knew of Aphrodite's intention on harming the girl? Or did she expect for Aphrodite to be the one to open the box? Did Aphrodite request for a beauty box knowing Persephone would put something else in it?

Is there any explanation why Persephone gave that or is it just how her "beauty" is?

It just seems like Persephone tried to pull a prank on Aphrodite😆

I have to say that I've never really studied this story, since (unpopular opinion) I think that Eros and Psyche are a bit boring. From what I know, the only account of this story comes from Metamorphoses (also called The Golden Ass) by Apuleius. The text itself doesn't explain Proserpina's motive.

In the underworld Psyche repeats what Venus has told her. "The box was at once filled and closed out of her sight, and Psyche took it." Before she entered the underworld she had been warned about opening the box or trying to find out what was inside. When she did so anyway it says: "But inside there was no beauty-lotion or anything other than the sleep of Hades, a truly Stygian sleep." Is this what happens if the wrong person opens the box? Is the beauty-lotion of gods harmful to mortals? Or was the Stygian sleep in fact intended for Venus? After Cupid releases Psyche from the sleep he tells her to "hurry to complete the task imposed on you by my mother's command". He sees no problem with Venus receiving what is in the box, so it is probably not harmful to her.

But it is tempting to see this as Proserpina trying to pull a prank on Venus (the webcomic Hades and Persephone and other gods ficlets by Gau meo used that interpretation in their take on the story). Psyche was also told to decline the soft cushion and rich food that Proserpina would offer her. Does that mean that those are traps and that the queen of the underworld is a deceitful character?

But I also really like the interpretation that Persephone's beauty is poison to others. ^^

[tennessoui]

I think that I read an au from you with... uh... god Obi getting jealous of Anakin, who when he was little, promised Obi wan (in the form of Old Ben) something (probably like a vow or what not)...

I wonder if you might go into that AU some time...

also the new fishy au you got... obikin being silly XD

hello yes i think this is in reference to the zeus!obi-wan & ganymede anakin fic i wrote as i haven't written much god obi-wan (the other closest would be persephone!obi-wan & hades!anakin)

this au is actually on the shortlist of ficlets i want to lengthen (by 3-4k) and add to my prompt collection on ao3! it's already pretty long for my tumblr aus (2.3k) and i think it's a good stand-alone fic

but honestly the future of this au is just a ton of anakin trying to convince himself and also his godly partner slash ruler slash literally god that anakin should have autonomy

also god obi-wan decides to take padmé's twins because they're also of anakin and anakin promised himself to him so everything that is anakin should be obi-wan's. rightly so.

[christinesficrecs]

hello again! can you rec some Hades and Persephone! sterek au... it can be both ao3 fics or tumblr ficlets 🤭

sending lots of love <3

Hey!

Well, I have some greek mythology AUs. There is a post here and also these ones. I love, love, love this one. ❤️

The Flower That Blooms In Adversity by CelestialVoid | 12.2K

When Stiles Stilinski – the God of nature and harvests – is bitten by a viper, Derek Hale – the God of the Underworld – fights to keep him alive, taking him to the Underworld where he can keep him safe. However, the Heavens are not happy.

Of Love & War by Dexterous_Sinistrous | 9.9K | Explicit

“Why? Why can’t I have what the others have? I don’t want this.”

He wanted the flowers and festive wine; the vows of chastity and marriage. He wanted the menageries of animals that were given sanctuary in the temples of other gods. He did not want blood or pain. He did not want the fear he had seen in the animal’s eyes.

“War is an ugly thing when humans have nothing to respect. You will be that rallying point that brings stability to the chaos.”

Derek clenched his eyes shut, knowing that he’d never have a moment’s peace if his life was to glorify such carnage.

A Declaration Of Might by AllTheseSquaresMakeACircle | 14.8K | Explicit

Stiles and his father were moving to a new town, along with Scott and Lydia. The three of them being demigods, at times, tended to complicate things. Especially since Stiles' mother was an elder goddess. He only hoped that if there were any gods that nestled in their new town, they would at least be able to get along. As it turned out, there was one. And they got along more than well. And Stiles had no issue with that whatsoever.

The Longing Of Rebirth by MelodramaticSalad | 4.3K

The role that Derek played was guardian to the underworld, a place that chilled one to the bone at the simple thought of it. For the most part, he lived there alone with the souls of those that had passed to keep him company. The work was always busy and always thankless, colder than the ground one was buried in.

He longed for the warmth of the sun, for springtime when the flowers bloomed. Was his role a mistake? He'd always wondered if he was cursed and if this was how things would always be.

WinterIron Bookmark Bingo - November Engagement

It's the third of four months we originally planned to trial this event in, I can't believe how far we've come! I've loved seeing everyone's great recommendations, drables, and ficlets, but enough mushy stuff, let's get into it.

Firstly, this month the recommendation minimums are 3 of either art OR fanfiction, I wanted to make sure I included both, so I have 2 art recommendations and a fanfiction recommendation.

Everything about this piece of art, from the poses chosen to the lighting to the colour palette is so COZY. I think it fits this month's theme perfectly.

Again, the colours are *chefs kiss*. I feel like he definitely took the mask off to look at Bucky, who's just made a dramatic appearance of some sort, and once Bucky see's Tony with the mask off he just kind of freezes. They're both just frozen, thoughts circling like a broken record, "he'sprettyhe'sprettyhe'spretty". Nothing gets me like two confident characters that are so supremely NOT CONFIDENT around their crush. Also, this link I've pasted is a repost by soliloquent-stark, but the original art is here

by @konnyart

My last November rec is The Guiding of Death, by, YOU GUESSED IT, @rayshippouuchiha. It's a twist on Hades and Persephone, with Steve in the role of Hades and Tony in the role of Persephone but it's actually WinterIron. In addition to being very good (if I do say so myself), it felt like a good fit for this month; the Persephone myth tells the story of her mandated 6-month stay in the underworld, how her trip there causes things in nature to die and gives us fall, and how her return trip brings life and gives us spring. The myth itself isn't discussed in depth in ray's story, but I think it's both very cozy and lines up well with this month being about autumn comfort.

As always, I'll end with my prompt:

Hot Chocolate.

Bucky is absolutely an excellent ice skater, he's lithe and graceful and, let's be honest, so housecat-coded. Tony, as graceful as he may be in the air, learns on a cute couple's date that ice skating is not a strength of his. After a few hours spent trying to get the hang of it, they're both wet and cold (Tony from falling, and Bucky from Tony trying to grab onto Bucky for balance and dragging Bucky down alongside him) so they go back to the tower to get warm. Of course, the best way to do that is hot chocolate and a movie. Bucky lets Tony pick since the ice skating was Bucky's idea and-absolutely humiliating James, it'll be all over the gossip rags tomorrow!

[leseigneurdufeu]

wait let's come back to this for a minute, "Hades and Persephone Ficlets harassment"??? did Rachel harass Gaumeo??

i will not be taking questions at this time

(but i will definitely be explaining some of these in tomorrow night's stream LMAO)

[khaire-traveler]

Have to make this anon because I don't need LO fans coming after me. So I'm reading Lore Olympus and at first I liked it until I learned and saw the actual original poem about The Kidnapping of Persephone (sorry for censoring there) and what it meant for mothers and daughters in ancient Greece. I have such an appreciation for all three gods, Persephone, Demeter, and Hades, I'm Catholic but blessed be their names. (Getting into christopaganism)

Anyway, I saw another comic called Hades and Persephone ficlets on webtoons and it actually starts with Hades actually kidnapping her and Persephone hating him but as the comic goes on (don't wanna describe the whole thing cause I'm lazy) they do warm up to each other but in the most natural way. It's a little rushed but they're ficlets. It's not overly detailed.

Anyway. They got a lot of negative comments for not being like LO and other comics that basically villainize Demeter. My point is, and this is probably the weirdest question you get with this thousand yard comment, how do you think that relationship with them went? I imagine it went as the original myth portrayed but over time they do warm up and learn to love each other. Started out toxic but in a healthy way I think they eventually became happy together. I ask you because you actually are involved with worshipping the Hellenic gods. Who better to ask than someone who practices the religion? Sorry for the long ask. I tend to overly explain myself xD

Hey, Nonny, thank you for the ask! I enjoyed reading it, although it was a bit long lol.

I'll start this off by saying that I honestly hate Lore Olympus with a burning passion, but if others enjoy it, then that's fine; I'm not one to judge others for their personal interests. Personally, I hate how the relationship between Hades and Persephone is depicted, but I ESPECIALLY hate their representation of Demeter, as it's very disrespectful and seriously takes the power out of the original story. As you briefly mentioned, it was a very important myth, not just for the gods involved but for ancient Greek mothers and daughters as a whole. I could get into it, but that would make this answer WAY longer than it needs to be, so I'll just move on and answer your actual question now haha.

Personally, I believe essentially what the myth states: a kidnapping (as was the custom for taking a bride back then), a grieving and distraught mother, and an eventual return of Persephone to the mortal realm - with a catch, of course, that she can only be in one place for a period of six months.

Within my personal experience with both Persephone and Hades (so my UPG), they seem to love each other very much and treat each other with lots of love and respect. Persephone seems to be very close with her mother as well which is to be expected, in my opinion. While I don't think it's our business, as mortals, to pry into the relations between gods, I think that Hades and Persephone likely grew to know and love each other more over time. I don't know whether or not Persephone ever hated Hades, but I can imagine being unwillingly kidnapped when you were just casually smelling and admiring a flower is not a particularly pleasant experience. However their relationship began, it definitely seems to be really strong and loving now, which I think is what matters most. They seem to be really happy with each other. c:

Hope this answered your question! Have a great night/day! :) <3

[winns-stuff]

So I'm reading the first chapters of that recommendation of HxP ficlets by gaumeo. Its not bad, although hades and Persephone first meet when hes 120 and shes a little kid. Also Aphrodite is a show girl or something?? Idk, zeus and Poseidon call Hades up for a strip show via Aphrodite. Persephone is apart of a virginity organization kinda like tgoem along with Athena and Artemis who push hades for donations then drag him to a seperate party. I get that Athena, Artemis, (hestia) and Persephone are all associated typically with virginity but there's still another virgin club.

Ooh, I see. I haven’t gotten a chance to read the recommendation mainly cause I’m not sure where it’s at but maybe I’ll give it a read if I have the time.
