    Summary

    "I caught you," she grinned playfully, biting her lip as her excited eyes raked over him hungrily.

    A deep chuckle rumbled in his chest as soon as his surprise wore off. "You did, indeed. Woe and misery upon me — what shall you do with me, o' goddess?"

    "Oh, I have a few things in mind," she giggled, plucking open the remaining buttons of his shirt, "but only if you behave." She grinned, sliding her hands beneath the crisp panels of his shirt, letting them fall away as her palms ran over the muscled plains of his body.

    "Behave, you say?" he shivered at her touch, "I'm afraid I can't make any promises on that, Sweetness."

    Summary

    Hades is a creature of habit, and does not enjoy change. He likes to maintain ritual and tradition, due to the reliability of what works for him.

    Persephone, being a fairly new and fresh face in the Underworld Courtroom, finds fault in some of the practices, and doesn't see any harm in trying to make improvements, much to the King's reluctance.

    This causes a conflict between the pair, that escalates into a seething, explosive argument. Hades does not like for his authority to be questioned, as he feels his rule is absolute. However, Persephone is not to be underestimated, and challenges his rulings, his thought process, and him, directly to his face.

    Has the King of the Underworld truly met his match?

    Summary

    “You’ve chosen, then?” He asks.

    “I have...conditions. Demands, really.” She puts both hands on his shoulders with confidence she does not feel. He leans forward, pulls her head down to meet him, kisses her—once—on the mouth.

    “I will hear them,” he says, with all the deadly seriousness of his station.

    Summary

    She is unsure of the technicalities of being immortal but she decides then that she would not mind experiencing death firsthand. Not at all.

    Or, the one where Persephone didn't quite mean to say it.
