AN: So I wanted to write something for Percy Jackson and I do ABC guides for different fandoms so I decided to do one for Hades and Persephone. I have seen the two movies, but I have only read the first book and part of the second. Like my other ABC guide stories this will be about three parts because with my health issues it's hard to gather up the energy to write and I do not have a beta reader so I am sorry for the mistakes.

A- Argue. Hades and Persephone could always find something to argue about. Sometimes the God of the underworld wondered if his wife chose to argue with him because it gave her pleasure knowing he hated it when anyone, especially his wife, tried to make him look like a fool. Then again, Hades knew one of the reasons he allowed such behavior was due to the fact that even though they were arguing, it meant she was paying him attention and not off with one of her many lovers. In Hades mind it was better to receive negative attention than none at all.

B- Bewitched. The first time Hades laid eyes on Persephone he was bewitched by her beauty. The beautiful woman had no idea her fate was sealed as soon as he caught his first glimpse of her; perhaps if she had known she would've been able to do something to change the outcome, but it was much too late for that now because her fate was sealed and not because of the seeds she ate, but due to her bewitching beauty that some would see as a gift while others saw it as a curse.

C- Cerberus. The queen of the underworld often found herself wandering aimlessly through the underworld with nobody to keep her company other than Cerberus. At first she had been terrified of the three headed dog, yet after a while she came to see while he was a scary sight, Cerberus was actually sweet and rather playful. When Hades found her scratching the dog behind the ears of his first head and the dog thumping his food contently, he sighed with a shake of his head knowing it was better to keep his thoughts to himself and let his wife do what she wanted as long as it kept her somewhat calm and at peace for a time.

D- Demeter. Demeter hated Hades more than words could describe. The God of the underworld had taken her only child and stripped the girl of her innocence and purity. When the older Goddess had found out the truth of what happened, well she wanted the world to feel her pain and so it had. Crops withered and died, farmers lost everything including their own lives due to no food and harsh weather. Hades may have stolen her daughter, yet Demeter made sure everyone, God and mortal, felt the pain of her loss.

E- Eternity. "You are mine Persephone." Hades stood behind his wife with one had resting on her waist and the other on her shoulder as his lips brushed against the shell of her ear. "You may take other lovers, but in the end dear wife, in the end you're mine. These men are only in passing and will soon fade away, yet I will be here always and you will be mine for eternity my dark queen. You can escape for a little while in fantasies, but you know the truth of my words and eventually you will learn to accept it."

F- Feud. "You try my patience wife." The words came out more of a growl as Hades paced back and forth with his hands secured behind his back. "I had the bolt in my grasp and you gave it to that boy along with his mother."

Persephone did not lower her gaze as their eyes connected. "I did what had to be done and I would do it again and again if I could. Giving the bolt back to Zeus on adds fire to your feud with him."

Her answer was not what he wanted to hear. "Persephone, I put up with a lot from you, but this time you have taken it too far and I am going to-"

"What?" She counter cutting him off before he could finish what he had been saying. "What are you going to do? I am already in hell so I do not see what you could possibly do to me that is worse than this fate."

G- Gods. It had been thousands of years since Persephone had been abducted by Hades and over time she started to hate him less and blame the other Gods more. Zeus had allowed this to happen to her and had done nothing to help her. He was the reason she was in the underworld and over time she started to understand why her husband hated him so much.

H- Hades. Death, darkness, and despair are a few of the words associated with the lord of the underworld and Persephone could think of a few choice words to describe him as well. Still, the queen of the underworld also saw a side of her husband nobody else did. At times he could actually be sweet, funny, or even romantic. Yes, Hades had both good qualities and bad, but Persephone enjoyed the moments she was allowed to glimpse his softer side; she often wondered if seeing his softer side was the real reason she had eaten the pomegranate seeds.
