Hades breathed out as the chaos and confusion that had plagued him since he awoke was given shape and form. Feelings gained sigils and signifiers through her intervention. Need. Purpose. Longing. Desire. Rapture. Lust.
“Love,” the voice of the Maiden said.
“I never thought that word.”
“You didn’t have to,” the three voices answered.
Hecate watched the maelstrom of thoughts flash through his mind. The past. The feel of Persephone’s soft skin, the press of her naked flesh, their mutual need. Hands running through hair, lifting, entangling. The present. Cypress and wind; fire and union in the void.
The future. Red flowers clinging to a tree that rose from the field of gray, branches twining through others’ branches. Red, ripe fruit hung on interlocked boughs. Radiating out from the tree came soft grasses and flowers that spread over immeasurable ground. Hecate imparted in three voices what she saw. “Embrace and cherish these visions, Aidoneus. They belong to both of you.”

Go review my books on Amazon and Goodreads(pretty please)
That’s a metric the network is watching.
I hope it is Netflix or HBO that picked up the show!
I can’t say who it is, and my tongue is sore I’m biting it so hard, but that’s my big hope too. I am sooooooo chomping at the bit I almost arranged the answer to this ask into an anagram to reveal who it is but I seriously cannot.
Let’s just say I’m excited as fuck.
So are Aphrodite and Persephone officially friends yet or are they just friendly? Sorry if this is spoilery.
Nope. They’re friends. Not bosom buddies yet as Persephone is still trying to figure her out, and Aphrodite is more aggressively pursuing the friendship than she is.
Would you say Hades prefers pleasing his queen moreso than receiving pleasure from her?
I think they like to maintain an even exchange, but he’d probably say yes to that.

Knowing a fic author through AO3 is like attending someone’s thesis presentation and clapping politely at the end, knowing a fic author through this hellsite is like going over to their house at 3AM to watch them eat mayonnaise out of a jar

Giving up pride
^^^
And communicating.
forgiving what exactly?
Forgiving the fact that they’re people who are working through their past, like you, and will occasionally project their past traumas on you the way you might with them. Forgiving yourself, because growth takes time, and learning to be a pair is more work than just being on your own. Having partners you trust to forgive those moments where you might fall, help you back up and move forward, in my opinion, builds up the trust and love you need for a thriving relationship.
That last comment was beautiful.
