LO AU - LO x Hadestown - Livin’ It Up on Top [🎵] [🎵] edition
Persephone returns from Hell for Spring & Summer:
[Hermes]
Here she comes!
[Persephone]
Well it's like he said, I'm an outdoor girl
[Hermes]
And you're late again
[Persephone]
Married to the king of the underworld
[Hermes]
She forgot a little thing called spring
[Persephone]
Are you wondering where I've been?
[WORKER]
Where you been?
[WORKER]
I'm wondering
[Persephone]
Been to hell, and back again
But like my mama always said:
Brother when you're down, you're down
When you're up, you're up
If you ain't six feet underground, you're living it up on top
Let's not talk about hard times
Pour the wine, it's summertime!
'Cause right now we're livin' it
[COMPANY]
How are we livin' it?
[Persephone]
Livin' it, livin' it up
Oh brother, right here we're livin' it
[COMPANY]
Where are we livin' it?
[Persephone]
[Persephone]
Livin' it up on top
Who makes the summer sun shine bright?
That's right, Persephone!
Who makes the fruit of the vine get ripe
[COMPANY]
Persephone
[Persephone]
That's me
Who makes the flowers bloom again, in spite of a man?
[COMPANY]
You do!
[Persephone]
Who's doing the best she can?
Persephone, that's who
Now some might say, the weather ain't the way it used to be
But let me tell you something that my mama said to me
You take what you can get, and you make the most of it
So right now we're livin' it
[COMPANY]
How are we livin' it?
[Persephone]
Livin' it, livin' it up
Oh brother, right here we're livin' it
[COMPANY]
Where are we livin' it?
[Persephone]
Livin' it up on top
Persephone allows Orpheus to bless “this round”:
[Persephone]
Up on top, we ain't got much
But we're
[COMPANY]
Livin' it up (x)
[Persephone]
Just enough to fill our cups
[COMPANY]
Livin' it up
[Persephone]
Brother pass that bottle around
'Cause we're
[COMPANY]
Livin' it, livin' it up
[Hermes]
Let the poet bless this round
[Orpheus]
To the patroness of all of this, Persephone
Who has finally returned to us with wine enough to share
Asking nothing in return except that we should live
And learn to live as brothers in this life
And to trust she will provide
And if no one takes too much, there will always be enough
She will always fill our cups
[Persephone]
I will
[Orpheus]
And we will always raise them up
To the world we dream about, and the one we live in now
'Cause right now we're livin' it
[COMPANY]
How are we livin' it?
[Orpheus]
Livin' it up
Oh brother, right here we're livin' it
[COMPANY]
Where are we livin' it?
[Orpheus]
Listen here, I'll tell you where
We're livin' it up on top
[COMPANY]
Up on top!
[Orpheus]
Livin' it up and we ain't gonna stop
Livin' it, livin' it
[COMPANY]
Livin' it, livin' it
[Orpheus]
How are we livin' it?
[COMPANY]
Where are we livin' it?
[Orpheus]
Livin' it, livin' it
[COMPANY]
Livin' it, livin' it
Livin' it up on top!

Persephone’s arrival to Hell, along with her King:
[Workers]
Low, keep your head, keep your head low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
Keep your head, keep your head low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head
Oh, you gotta keep your head
[Persephone]
In the coldest time of year
Why is it so hot down here?
Hotter than a crucible
It ain't right and it ain't natural
[Hades]
Lover, you were gone so long
Lover, I was lonesome
So I built a foundry
In the ground beneath your feet
Here, I fashioned things of steel
Oil drums and automobiles
Then I kept that furnace fed
With the fossils of the dead
Lover, when you feel that fire
Think of it as my desire
Orpheus figuring out the King and Queen of Hell’s Dilemma:
[Orpheus]
They can't find the tune
[Hermes, spoken]
Orpheus!
[Orpheus]
They can't feel the rhythm
[Hermes, spoken]
Orpheus!
[Orpheus]
King Hades is deafened by a river of stone
[Hermes, spoken]
Poor boy working on a song
[Orpheus]
And Lady Persephone's blinded by a river of wine
Livin' in an oblivion
[Hermes, spoken]
He did not see the storm coming on
[Orpheus and (Fates)]
His black gold flows (Oooooh)
In the world down below (Oooooh)
And her dark clouds roll in the one up above
[Hermes, spoken]
Look up!
[Company]
Keep your head low
[Orpheus]
And that is the reason we're on this road
And the seasons are wrong
And the wind is so strong
That's why times are so hard
It's because of the gods
The gods have forgotten the song of their love

[V1] Orpheus sings about the Tale of Hades and Persephone:
[Orpheus]
Gather 'round, you vagabonds
Pickin' fruit and hoppin' freights
Anyone who's wondering,
Wondering why the winds have changed
I'll sing a song of a love gone wrong
Between a mighty king and queen
Gather 'round and I'll sing a song
Of Hades and Persephone
Oh, queen of flowers
Queen of fields
Queen of the green and the growing Earth
Lady Persephone, half of the year,
Was bound to stay down in the Underworld
In the other half, she could walk in the sun
And the sun, in turn, burned twice as bright
Which is where the seasons come from
And with that cycle of the seed and the sickle
And the lives of the people
The birds and their flights, singing:
La la la la la la la…
[V2] Orpheus sings about the Tale of Hades and Persephone:
[Orpheus]
King of shadows
King of shades
Hades was king of the Underworld
But he fell in love with a beautiful lady
Who walked up above in her mother's green field
He fell in love with Persephone
Who was gathering flowers in the light of the sun
And he took her home to become his queen
Where the sun never shone
On anyone
[Hermes, spoken]
Go on...
[Orpheus]
The lady loved him and the kingdom they shared
But without her above, not one flower would grow
So King Hades agreed that for half of each year
She would stay with him there in his world down below
But the other half, she could walk in the sun
And the sun, in turn, burned twice as bright
Which is where the seasons come from
And with them, the cycle
Of the seed and the sickle
And the lives of the people
And the birds in their flight
Agree or Disagree on this certain crack ship - Thanatos x LO Character:
thαnαtσѕ αnd mαcαriα🤍 by goddesskore🦋
Classic love story. Macaria was said to be a daughter of Hades in actual mythology. I like to think she started working in the Underworld and was put to work with Hermes and Thanatos. Once he saw her, he knew she was the one (he probably didn’t know Hades was her father). Since this is much later than present time in LO, I'm sure Thanatos would be a bit more mature and ready for a real relationship. [cough] [cough] Bye Minthe 👋.

Thanatos x Hermes by hermes.editz [🎵]
AU: Thanatos stops thinking about mInTy pLaNt, and goes for the better shade of red 😌. Then he ends up asking Hermes out, they start holding hands and get all blushy n’ stuff ahah.
