A little drabbley thing. (THIS IS A REWRITE)

(More of an offering to the Fangirl Goddess; I'm praying for Hades and Zelena to survive 5x21)

Hades had once thought that dark-haired and dark-eyed was his type.

Before Zeus had stopped his heart, he'd had a soft spot for a young woman named Persephone. She was Demeter's daughter, and she was beautiful and talented.

He'd tried to win her affections, he had succeeded. She was hopelessly naive and innocent, however, and it wasn't long into their marriage when he'd realized that.

But he'd stayed, because honestly, he had no desire to be the object of gossip for a few thousand years.

The attachment between them had grown quite frayed, both finding the other's flaws and attacking them frequently.

It hadn't ended well, at all.

Hades had rather considered himself done with romance at the same time Zeus stopped his heart from beating.

He'd been sure he'd never break the curse. He'd met plenty of respectable women: Boudicca, Cleopatra, Circe; but none of them were particularly spectacular.

And then he'd met Zelena, and dark-haired and dark-eyed flew out the window. He fell in love with her crimson hair and emerald eyes, and how eerily similar they were to each other.

For the first time in eons, he'd felt hopeful.

She was too much like him, though. Too afraid to trust anyone, to let down her walls. She'd sent him away out of fear and suspicion.

He couldn't blame her, really.

As time went on, he conceded that he'd gone too fast, he hadn't gotten as close as he should've.

This time, though, he could do this.

He could show her he loved her.

He could win her over.

If only the Fates would grant him this one wish.

He'd be content with whatever happened, as long as he had her.

Review, please!

(Note: The Persephone in Zelena's Heartbreak isdifferent. Because they ended everything for a different reason. Kind of.)

I'm so scared for 5x21. Let's all hope for our babies to make it through this unscathed and together, shall we? (I'm here for feels venting, just PM me.)

If you saw Captain America: Civil War and shipped Vision/Scarlet Witch, I started something for that, btw.
