A Summary

(Cos the 1st Summary isn't long enough)

(In an epic voiceover) This season, witness a classic love story like never before. Set in a conveniently confusing time and place. With thrilling action adventure fighting badass stuff; 4th wall breaking; lots and lots of 4th wall breaking; cheesy romance with extra cheese; memes; smut? Probably not, as Author-chan is a prude who's not very comfortable writing that; but did I mention 4th wall breaking? Staring beloved mythological characters trying to be funny and #relatable to an audience with whom they are already insanely popular to a point where their story doesn't really need another unoriginal retelling but will get one anyways cos they're public domain dam it! Hades and Persephone~ now just a click away from you.

Chapter 1: Backstory (Hera)

Hekate: Ahhh first time writers, they worry too much! They stall writing for as long as possible clarifying every single little detail, they've stalled writing so much that they forget how this story was going to open. Wait a minute. I was supposed to open the curtains on this story. Sorry about that Ms author. Can you edit this out? No? You think the audience will find this amusing? Ohhh so you saw deadpool last night. I love that movie! And that Ryan Ren….. Right, right the story.

Hi! I am Hekate with a K. people always get that wrong for some reason. And I will be your narrator for this story. I'm also besties with Hades and later with Persephone but she doesn't know that yet. Right now she's just a little little sweet cutie pie baby! Charon? Charon why am I being cut …..

Charon: I apologize for her.

I am Charon, the ferry man of the Styx. And as Hekate was saying, our story begins with the birth of a young goddess Persephone. A beautiful babe with big green eyes, a wide toothless smile and oddly for the goddess of spring, jet black hair; she was the daughter of Demeter and Zeus.

Hera herself was present at her birth, along with Eileithyia and Zeus and for once was not to kill the child. Not at all, as she herself had come up with the idea. You see the goddess of the harvest, her sister Demeter, was a woman who was all work and no play. She lived on earth and toiled away in the fields to help humans feed themselves. And when she came to Hera with the desire for a child but not a husband, how could Hera refuse? Thus Persephone was born. Hera loved this beloved child dearly and on her birth immediately wished in her heart that she have a beautiful marriage. An odd wish yes, but she was the goddess of marriage and for once was happy with one of Zeus's children. But then to her surprise right after Demeter had decided a name, she decided that her child would be a maiden goddess. Hera was relieved however when Eileithyia told Demeter that it was Persephone's decision to make.

It seemed Zeus too had a soft spot for the child. He asked Demeter to bring her to Olympus often.

Thus Persephone was born.

Note: I am a novice experimenting with writing and would appreciate any constructive criticism or encouragement. This is my take on the Hades and Persephone story. This story may contain (consensual) smut in later chapters. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this.
