Percy lying that Luke was his bi awakening because he knows his friends will be insufferable about it if he admits it was Hades.

“Father,” Izuku says. The man looks down his nose at him. Flames curl around the man’s face and make Izuku shiver slightly. Fire is life and death. Fire is home.

It does not belong on Zeus’s face.

“Persephone,” Todoroki Enji, Endeavour and Zeus says.

“Izuku,” He corrects. Zeus scoffs.

“If I must.” He looks Izuku over with a calculating eye. “You are female?”

“I’m a boy.” Izuku replies dryly. Zeus rolls his eyes. Of course the man cares little for politeness. He was like that. “But yes I have a womb. And no I will NOT marry whichever person you have in mind. I wait for Hades.”

“The man who kidnapped you.” Zeus sneers.

“How did you get Hera as a wife again?” Izuku asks mockingly. Zeus gives him a nasty look and Izuku shrugs. If Zeus wishes to apply modern morality on what ocurred centuries ago he will do the same. And Zeus’s crimes outnumber Hades by the millions.

“My son Shouto would do well with a wife like you.” Zeus grunts. Izuku rolls his eyes.

“I have no interest. Hades is my husband. I chose him long ago and I’ll choose him now.”

“Your mother still thinks he tricked you.” Muses Zeus. Izuku snorts.

“What Demeter thinks is of little concern to me.”

"Are those rainbow bananas?!"

"Seem to be."

"Hades, why didn't you tell me there were rainbow bananas?!"

"It wouldn't be much of an adventure if I just told you everything, Hero."

Part 1

Steve visits Eddie often. He loves being around the other man, loves how kind Eddie is, how funny he is for someone who rules the dead. He seems to love making Steve laugh and is always cracking jokes that send the goddess into giggles.

Honestly, Steve spends more time than he should in the Underworld, but Eddie has so many duties to tend to, it makes more sense for Steve to come to him than the other way around.

It’s nearly a year since he met Eddie that his joy is brought to an end. Steve is summoned to Olympus, is told that his visits are sending the world into chaos.

He didn’t know that traveling to the Underworld would cut the human world off from his magic, that the plants that bloomed with his presence would die off when the connection is severed.

Zeus bans him from visiting Hades, and Steve ignores the smug look on Ares’ face, the pitying looks from Hera and Aphrodite. Not all of the gods are here to witness his humiliation, but there are enough to make him flush with shame, to have him leaving as soon as he's able to.

Aphrodite catches him before he gets too far, her hair and robes both immaculate even as tears stream down her face. “Ares told them where you were going. I tried to stop him, but he’s… bitter. Jealous.”

She takes his hand, holds it between her own. “I can tell that your feelings are true, and that Hades feels the same for you. I wish I could help you, Persephone. You both deserve happiness.”

And like a stroke of lightning, Steve knows what must be done.

He thanks her and leaves Olympus, finds the nearest gate and descends into the Underworld. Cerberus is given three loving pets as Steve passes by, heading to the garden behind Eddie’s home.

The plants have been thriving thanks to Steve’s frequent visits, the flowers are in full bloom and the plants that can fruit are full and heavy with produce. He plucks a pomegranate from its branch, and stares at it as he remembers.

The goddess had found Eddie eating one on his third or fourth visit, and the older had stopped him when he’d gone to grab a few of the seeds for himself.

“You can’t eat anything grown in this realm. You’ll be stuck here if you do.”

Eddie had looked almost sad as he’d said it, and Steve had tipped his head to the side.

“Are you saying you don’t want me around?”

“No! I mean, I would-” Eddie stopped himself, took a breath. “You don’t belong down here. This place is far too dark, too bleak. It doesn’t deserve you.”

And Steve could read between the lines, could hear what Eddie wasn’t saying. He had ignored it at the time, let Eddie be right, but now? Now Steve knows that Eddie is the only one who deserves him.

Call him selfish, but no one has ever treated Steve the way Eddie does, has cared for him so, and he wants nothing more than to spend the rest of his days in the Underworld, side by side with the man he loves.

He tears open the pomegranate as a voice comes from the house.

“Steve? I didn’t realize you were here.”

Steve turns to face him, and Eddie’s eyes drop to Steve’s hands, dripping with red as he holds the fruit in his hands. His face pales and his eyes jump back to Steve’s.

“What are you doing?” he asks, taking a cautious step forward.

“Do you love me?” Steve asks in return. Just seeing Eddie has firmed his decision, and he stands, unwavering as he watches the other man pause at the question.

“I do. More than anything.” Eddie seems nervous, but his voice is steady, and Steve knows he's telling the truth.

“If I asked it, would you let me stay? Let me stand by your side for the rest of time itself?”

Eddie steps closer, now in arms reach. “I would. I would not turn you away, even if it meant my life.”

Steve’s eyes don’t waver from Eddie’s as he scrapes a handful of seeds from the fruit and shoves them in his mouth.

The juice is tart at first, but is followed by a delicious sweetness, something that reminds Steve of Eddie himself, and as he swallows, Steve can feel the shift within him.

Hands grab his face and the fruit falls to the ground as Steve grabs Eddie in return, both meeting in a desperate kiss. Magic flows between them, invisible threads tying them together in a bond so concrete, even the Fates themselves could not cut them.

They pull back after a moment, and Steve’s eyes drop to the red smear across Eddie’s mouth, something that is surely mirrored across his own.

“My wonderful little goddess,” Eddie mutters, awestruck as he places another kiss to Steve’s lips, more tender than the last.

“You're stuck with me now,” the goddess responds, sending them both into giggles, and yeah. It feels good to be selfish.

(Later, Steve will cut a deal with the rest of the gods. He will come back for half a year at a time and tend to his duties, leaving his beloved twin Demeter in charge while he’s gone, in exchange for Zeus’ blessing to have children. Zeus will have no choice but to agree.)

Percy entwining his fingers with Grover's and murmuring, "When one of us dies, that's going to be it, we're never going to see each other again. You're going to become a plant, and I'll be stuck in the underworld" and Grover squeezing his hand and saying, "I'll be there, a piece of me, a clipping, something woven into the ground downstairs for you to sit with" and "you hate the underworld though" and "I'll be fine if you're there with me"

i have an issue with lore olympus's depiction of persephone's "goddess of spring" thing. first of all she shouldn't even be the goddess of spring yet, as spring shouldn't even exist yet. but whatever rachel doesn't understand / care about the myths she’s adapting what else is new.

but also i don't quite understand why, especially in the beginning, rachel chose to make everyone (including persephone) act like "goddess of spring" is like.. an unimportant job? like she's "just" the goddess of spring? does rachel not understand how fucking important the end of winter and the coming of spring would be to a society that relied heavily on agriculture for their food?

idk it seems like rachel thinks spring is just flowers and it shows :-/

When they asked me what I wanted, I said: 'The world.'

Today is a day of mourning. For me, as a Hellenic Polytheist whose Patroness is Persephone and is recently working with both Demeter and Dionysus, today was supposed to be a wonderful day. Today marks the first day of the three-day festival of Thesmophoria, a festival celebrating the change of seasons and the beautiful Earth and its fertility and ability to nurture us. However, instead of celebrating with positivity and gratitude, I am instead feeling defeated. Instead of praying in thanks, I am mourning with the gods. I feel devastated.

For those mourning like me, know you are not alone. Many people in the witchcraft sphere and in general feel broken too. Just know that your ancestors, your gods, your plant allies, your angels, your spirits, and the whole universe are with you. They are here with you. They are mourning with you.
