Summary
The myth of Persephone/Hades reimagined in the way it is implied: Persephone is a young woman who is literally kidnapped by grown Hades and manipulated into staying with him for half the year and being wedded to him.
Suddenly, ludicrously, she understands why her mother’s eyes are as dead as they are and why her light had dimmed in place of her daughter.

Summary
“You look gorgeous in that dress, by the way.”
The goddess snorted. Ah. She rolled her eyes, unwilling to play into his weak attempts at flattery. Had she not made it clear enough that his sweet talkings meant nothing to her?
“I have not had the courage to tell you earlier, so I thought I'd better do it now, before you change into something different.”, he explained.
Kore paused in her walk and he immediately stopped with her.
“My dress is ruined.”, she scorned, glaring at him. “You will not see me in anything but the tunics you gave me until I have fixed it.” And fixing it would take some time, unfortunately.
Hades looked down at the floor, his voice growing quieter.
“I am sorry.”, he mumbled, as if it had been his fault that her clothes had gotten turned into shreds and that she had to wear those dark, gloomy dresses now.
She clicked her tongue in disapproval.
“No, you're not.”
And she could see the way he tried to suppress a smile at that. She knew he secretly enjoyed that sort of influence he had over her now, that little bit of power. She shook her head at the way he did not deny it.

Summary
"I believe Lord Hades does feel some guilt for what he's done to you and your mother, if it matters."
"Guilt enough that he would release me from this worthless play of being his wife?"
Hermes paused and then slowly shook his head a small sad smile. "He's as bound to this agreement as you or your mother. Even if he wanted to release you, he could not."
She sucked in her teeth.
"Then his guilt matters not to me."

Summary
If those of lower birth were to rise high, high, higher than she ever would—she could sink to the depths just as easily. What match was stubborn earth for persistent vine? She found that she did not have to love it to own it, after all; what mattered was that she had chosen, that she had conquered.
Persephone chooses the Underworld, but not because she likes it.

Summary
It was called a tale as old as time. A beautiful young woman kidnapped by a beast. The ruler of the underworld.
Some things to keep in mind. This girl's name was Kore. That name meant girl or maiden. And by the by, Demeter's name meant earth mother, which meant everything about them up to that point could be summed up as mother and daughter.Persephone meant bringer of destruction. That came later.
