Hi, there! I love your story "Receiver of Many" and I do like HadesxPersephone; so I want to ask you a question. Since I've read your post regarding the "Why I don't ship Hades and Persepone", I would like to know this, what are the negatives to you in the
All right. I think that a complex question deserves a complex answer, so I decided to break this down into three sections. Issues I have with the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, issues I have with Metamorphoses by Ovid, and issues I have with modern interpretations…

Who would you cast as Thanatos?Tell my executive producer, Summer Helene ON TWITTER by hashtagging #Thanatos and tagging her in on her account “@summerhelene” We have a chance to let her know who we want to play Thanatos, so let’s.
And if you absolutely cannot cannot do Twitter, I’d love to know who you want here, too. I’ll reblog your suggestions.

I tweeted Summer Helene, but wanted to reblog this too! Personally I think Aneurin Barnard would be a pretty good Thanatos - he really works deathly face haha I think it’s the eye shape

Seventy years have passed since Elysion was created, and Persephone’s efforts to conceive a child with Hades have been in vain. But a secret rite on Samothrace might bend the Fates and give them all that they have ever dreamed of, or pave a path of untold suffering.
**partial chapter**Please visit The Good Counselor on AO3 to read in full.
Chapter 3The ether rushed around her in a twist of silver and crimson and she emerged in the great atrium of her villa in Thesprotia. It had been abandoned for generations when Persephone had found it, and was said to be filled with the ghosts of the extinguished House of Aeolus.
Persephone knew better.
If any spirits remained, she would have wrenched them from this world already. She herself had sentenced three of that wicked family to Tartarus, Sisyphus chief among them.
Willows overhung the entire house, shielding it from the main road that led to the sea. It was modest, a short ways from the city of Cichyrus. A copse of bedraggled cypresses marked the path leading to the entrance, and thistles grew thick around the door. To the idly passing eyes of the outside world, this place was as uninhabited as it was foreboding.

Chapter 2Thesprotia was warm, even in the early evening. But that warmth didn’t penetrate the caves near the river. Here the chill of winter still clung to the rocks like moss .
In the palm of one hand, Persephone held an herb rooted in loose soil; her other hand trailed along the cool stones and damp roots of the cave walls. She followed the bend of the cave, the echo of a single drum’s steady tattoo joined by a lone piper’s melody. A light flickered from the entrance of a great hall, and the smells of burning pitch and roasted venison wafted from within. Neither scent masked the stink of sex and sour wine. The tittering of dryads and naiads mixed with the braying laughter of satyrs, the pervasive chattering punctuated now and again by loud moans. The court was smaller than it once had been, so many years ago when mortal men and women had made the mistake of trusting its king— when Minthe had made the mistake of trusting her own father.
SHE REALLY DID THAT OMGGGGG I STAN A LEGIT QUEEN

“I don’t care what power or wealth they had in life. They can’t take it with them, though many think they can. They think it will sway me, somehow. Mortals and immortals alike say many things about me in the world above. But my reputation for being inexorable is well earned,” Hades said.
Persephone smiled wryly. Draped down the front of her clothes were more jewels than the oldest, richest dynasty could hope to acquire in all its generations, much less a single mortal in a short lifetime. Any one of the rubies in her hair could ransom a princess.
