FUCK. I've just found myself trying to set broken!ice!Luche to Hadestown. It's - not really fitting together, but *fuck* if it isn't a lovely contrast+compare between the two themes/settings/images.

Hamelin you can’t do this to me.

Because! It won’t fit! Neither Luche or Tredd are similar enough to the main pairings! I will concede that Luche would make a very pretty Hades (now that thought isn’t leaving my mind AAHHHH) but it doesn’t-

Exactly-

Fit.

But.

BUT THE CONTRASTS.

THE COMPARISONS.

IM GOING NUTS.

(Why did you look back? You almost had her.

I loved her. I still love her. How could I not?

If it would have kept her alive-

I had to make sure she was there. I had to look. I had too. Wouldn’t you?

No. If it was to keep him safe. Even if not with me. If it was to ensure he would live. I would not look. I don’t have that right.

Love isn’t a right. It’s a necessity.)

#a darkness born in youth verse #Orpheus vs Luche in a battle of ‘love is not a want it is a need’ and ‘I can love them. they cannot love me’#vs ‘i would not look back. at the cost of my own mind i would not look back’ vs ‘i had to look back i had to i love her what am i without’#vs ‘I am not worthy of someone coming for me’ vs ‘i betrayed him. he came anyway. someone will come for you too. i know it’#the last one is Luche and Eurydice #which is also ‘he loves you. of course he came’ vs. ‘and he loves you. why do you think he wont come?’#luche’s self loathing verses everything #(though i did just have the lovely mental image of tredd fighting his way out of the underworld because he might be dead but that’s not #stopping him from returning to luche’
