[HadesxPersephone] Sometimes, to fully know love, one must feel what it is like to be without the one who is beloved. For once in Hades' life he wished to be selfish and have happiness in his pit of darkness and loneliness. But in his quest to win the heart of his beloved, there are those who would work to turn her against him and destroy the fragile remains of his heart. Rated MA.

The story of Hades and Persephone.

Because to Lily, he is oxygen, she breathes him like air, and in his absence she can feel herself slowly suffocating to death. Lily/James

Sirius rolled his eyes. It was one thing to deal with James sighing and bemoaning his unrequited love, but Lily too? How much did the universe expect one bloke to handle? James/Lily one-shot.

It was beautiful, just beautiful, but the best part would always, always be right after.

"The Rape of Persephone" in Greek is actually named "The Abduction of Persephone". An abduction sometimes can be consentual. Myths in time get twisted losing their names and meaning. This is my attempt to retell the most popular love story in greek mythology.

She's forever trapped in a realm of darkness...

Written as part of a word war writing challenge - a little snapshot into the lives of two ordinary teenage Gryffindors, in which nothing much happens and people get hugged.

Hades is in bed one night when his new wife, Persephone, has a nightmare and joins him. He didn't really expect anything to happen, but things seem to not be going as smoothly as they could be. M for well...sex...and one swear word I think.

Hades is no gentle, misunderstood soul and he doesn't play nice with anyone- even the woman he loves. The fact of the matter is it was rape. The other fact of the matter is she grew to love him. A lot of LEMON/adult so don't read if it offends. R&R

Hades had never completely understood why he'd had another throne placed beside his to sit empty for all those years. And then he met Persephone. Rated for language, violence, and adult themes.

Abandoned by her best friend and suffering the torment of her hideous older sister - and her sister's hideous boyfriend, Lily Evans thought she was in for a boring summer. James Potter had other ideas.

Though they've "known" each other for years, it takes Lily Evans and James Potter several moments to truly connect. *Complete*

James has returned from a busy day and late night and is planning for much needed sleep, but a surprise lying in wait has plans of her own…

Suddenly, his lips press against hers—so slowly, so delicately—and she tries to ignore the feeling that this is goodbye. 'James will come back,' she persuades herself. 'I just know he will.' *Complete*

My take on an often told story between my favourite two characters form Greek Mythology. There are now lemons in chapters 2 and 4. I hope they do not offend anyone.

An eloquent tale of Hades and Persephone. Rated thus for a reason.

He wants her so badly he could cry. And for James Potter, that's saying something. LJ [oneshot]
