Persephone, The Good Counselor
If it's not too spoilery, when did Aidon first learn that he could grow plants and how did he react to this new-found knowledge. It was pretty heartwarming to learn that among the after-effects of their hieros gamos, one was that they now shared powers.
Aw thanks! And it’s not spoilery at all.
He left several narcissus flowers as a calling card for Orpheus back in Chapter One. (He thinks humans are as clueless as he is.)
My headcanon is that Hades and Persephone were having happy special married time together in Nysa a year or two after the events in Destroyer of Light.
A bunch of flowers appeared afterward, and he assumed it was Persephone’s doing. That is until she started running through the flower filled field flipping out about them (and subsequently wove him a flower crown from them in her excitement).
At that point they discovered that he had gained some of her abilities and she his, and both of them set about idly practicing them for the next several decades.
Likely not going to write out that scene, but I won’t stop anyone if they wanted to.
I learned a very important lesson yesterday.

It was all painted in Photoshop, for anyone curious :)
do you still read H&P fanfics? if so, are there any newer ones that you would recommend? also, congratulations on finishing the good counselor! can’t wait to read it!
Thank you so much!! I can’t believe how quickly The Good Counselor went once I got back into a groove and just started laying down paragraph after paragraph of story. I don’t think a I’ve ever written as linearly as I have this time, and that only happened because I was writing so damn much to keep pace with my brain.
It’s come at a cost. Thanks to all the irons I have in all the fires since becoming a parent, I haven’t had much of a chance to read anything recently, outside of research texts 😕
I may get back in to AO3 and other channels at some point and take a look at the fandom once I get my publishing ducks in a row, but I’m sure there’s some fantastic ones out there since it’s been, like, FIVE YEARS since I had a chance to read others’ H/P work.
But might I recommend a couple H/P comics I have seriously loved to read these past couple years, and that’s @theia-mania-comics by @a-gnosis and Punderworld by @sigeel
I’ll get back into the big 100k stories and make some recs when I can.
