A/N: A drabble (100 words exactly) about Hades. This idea's been floating around in my head for a long time, so I figured I'd try it out. Anyone else think Hades needs a little appreciation? Leave your thoughts in a review!
Edit 6/5/11: Everybody Hates Hades is the first in a series of collections of drabbles centered around different gods, called the Perspective series. There will be one collection for each god/goddess.
Everybody Hates Hades
It was always the same. Every solstice, every quest, every time anyone ever thought about him.
Hades was always the bad guy.
Despite being the gloomy lord of the dead, he cared about people more than any of the other gods. He had broken the rules to save his children. He actually loved his wife, occasional spats aside. He thought of his mortal loves as more than simply a beautiful face; he saw the beauty of their souls, because he more than anyone knew that all mortals lived on only as a spirit.
Despite all this, he was the villain.
