here have some more nonsense.

this is after she gets back from the underworld. ;P

Hades ascended in his war chariot to confront her, wreathed in shadows and flame, pulled by dark horses. The dryads of the poplar and willow trees fled before him, and the grasses shriveled to ash under obsidian hooves.

“BRIGHT LADY. I OFFER A THRONE. A KINGDOM. A CROWN. DESCEND WITH ME. RULE OVER THE HALLS OF THE DEAD”
His voice echoed with centuries of stone, his eyes bright with black flames.

Persephone eyed the tall and terrible Lord thoughtfully. “You’re scorching my violets.”

What do we say to the god of death?

Persephone: knock knock Hades: who’s there? Persephone: it’s September hope you’re ready to bang like a screen door in a hurricane

kc + modern hades/persephone au

tell me that you chose me. that you love me. that you crave the dark. (happy belated birthday, @persephonesdarkness!)

persephone sits in a courtroom
dress as green as summer trees
her lipstick red as blood
her golden crown sits on the table
and hermes stares her down

“did you eat the seeds of your own free will?”
a dagger fashioned into a question
hades flinches, front-row seat;
thanatos his defense attorney

demeter straightens in the audience
a flower blooms in her sun-browned hair
her curls a halo round her daughter’s face
and persephone smiles

“i did.”

shocked gasps in the courtroom
the jury whispers amongst themselves
deities, spirits, nymphs, and ghosts
all here to judge the king of hell

“why?”

persephone looks into her husband’s eyes
lord and lady, king and queen
she takes her crown and settles it
upon her summer curls

“centuries ago,” she says, every word
a titan-sized whisper, “i was only a girl.
look at me now.”

persephone stands in a courtroom
and hades smiles

for here, she is
a queen
