rayllum + hadestown: his kiss, the riot (remake)

Have I made myself their lord Just to fall upon the sword Of some pauper's minor chord? Who will lead them? Who lays all our best-laid plans? Who makes work for idle hands?

Continuation of this post

[HERMES, spoken] Now Orpheus was the son of a Muse Callum: My dad wrote that [...] His name was Damien, he was a writer, a poet

[HERMES, spoken] Orpheus was a poor boy,​ But he had a gift to give.​

[HERMES, spoken] He could make you see how the world could be: (sung) In spite of the way that it is

Tell me I'm not the only one who thought about this connection when we found out that Callum's dad was a poet. How much more on-the-nose could we get? A poet's son, a muses' son.

I blame dragons for this new obsession

Thinking abt writing a fic where rayllum separates to go back to katolis from the nexus and incorporating lyrics from wait for me reprise and doubt comes in and giggling

[winterstorm032802]

Hear me out! Orpheus has insane bird motifs when it comes to his way of singing! CALLUM?! CALLUM BIRD MOTIF IS HITTING HARD! I LOVE THEM! GOD, I LOVE THE BIRD MOTIF IN HADESTOWN!

Especially since when I watched it, Jordan Fisher, when he sang Epic I, he spread his arms and brought it up and down (he was conducting), but I also consider it how they call him a bird. As if he's a bird who flaps its wings and spreads its tune.

And we all know why Callum has bird motifs. He can literally make his arms become wings! IT'S ALL CONNECTED!

I just think rayllum lends itself nicely to a Hadestown Au. That’s all

[thatartiststudios]

Six feet under you say?

*Hadestown starts playing in the background*

[ORPHEUS, spoken] Where is she? [HERMES, spoken] Why you wanna know? [ORPHEUS] Wherever she is, is where I'll go [HERMES, spoken] And what if I said she's down below? [ORPHEUS, spoken] Down below? [HERMES, spoken] Down below Six-feet-under-the-ground below

[HERMES, spoken] So... Just how far would you go for her?

[ORPHEUS] To the end of time

[ORPHEUS] To the end of the earth

Here you go @raayllum, I hope you appreciate it

so the spell to bring back runaan needed to be cast with love. and callum cast that spell without knowing that. so now we’ve basically gotten the confirmation that he was willing to free rayla’s parents from the coins exclusively out of his love for her

i need a moment

[raayllum]

rayllum + hadestown: doubt comes in (remake)

Who am I? Where do I think I'm goin'? Who am I? Why am I all alone? Who do I think I am? Who am I to think that she would follow me Into the cold and dark again?

[raayllum]

rayllum + hadestown: nothing changes

[FATES] So why get wet? Why break a sweat? Why waste your precious breath? Why beat your handsome brow? Nothing changes Nothing changes, nothing changes Anyhow

[raayllum]

rayllum + hadestown: how long

[HADES, spoken] So? [PERSEPHONE, spoken] Let her go

[blutopaz15]

OMG YES YES YES. I have SO MANY Hadestown crossover thoughts!!!!

Orpheus is such a sweet, wholesome dork JUST LIKE Callum. Orpheus trying to finish the song is basically the same as Callum trying to learn magic and no one can convince me otherwise. Then we have Rayla as Eurydice, completely won over by said sweet dork.

Basically every Orpheus/Eurydice song is Rayllum and TTM only intensified all of the parallels for me. 😭😭😭

Y’all, I keep listening to Flowers from Hadestown and imagining the absolute worst for Rayllum.

PAIN. I feel nothing but ~*~PAIN~*~ 😭

[raayllum]

rayllum + hadestown: wait for me i

To the end of time To the end of the earth

[thatartiststudios]

Ummmm... GUYS

GUYS

Please tell me I'm not the only one seeing this???

All The Way Home | Rayllum x Hadestown AU

Chapter 1: All I've Ever Known

(Thx to @a-very-sparkly-nerd for the insp!)

Rayla stood at the edge of the dock, watching as Callum inspected the boat he’d chartered for their journey home. It wasn’t luxurious by any means; Scumport’s gritty reality loomed over them, casting shadows that clung to the edges of the rickety vessel. Still, it was leagues better than the hellish ride she had endured before, and for that, she felt a flicker of gratitude.

Callum was meticulous as he counted out the gold, his fingers brushing against the coins with a purpose. “Half now,” he instructed the captain, his tone firm but steady, “and the other half when we reach Katolis. If anything happens to her during the trip…” His voice trailed off, the implication hanging in the salty air.

Rayla’s breath caught in her throat as she watched him spill gold into the captain’s hands. She hadn’t seen that much wealth in weeks—months, really. The stark contrast made her head spin, the weight of his generosity both comforting and suffocating. A part of her still felt like she didn’t deserve any of it, like she was still tethered to the darkness that had threatened to consume her.

He returned to her side, his arm wrapping around her shoulders like a shield against the world. “Ready?” he asked, his voice steady and sure, firm against her. At her side, as always.
