TRADE YOUR SUNFLOWERS CROWNS FOR ASPHODEL WREATHS:

           yes, there was an upturn of her lips as she noticed that he did in fact slow down to accommodate her.  compromise. she could work with that. there was, however, also a noticeable stutter step as he compared her to zeus. ZEUS! the goddess fumed for only a moment, and then took a deep breath. ‘ could we perhaps refrain from comparing me to zeus? i feel as if that will help this whole situation run a little more smoothly. ‘

         and yet– ‘ curt and demure. ‘ she couldn't hold back the laugh that escaped, though she did have enough control to make sure it was sort and quiet. ‘ you realize, your majesty, that you have just called me rude and shy in neighboring breaths? ‘ she wasn't sure if he was nervous or indecisive. or if she herself truly was so contrary. ‘ so, did you select me thinking that i would be a quiet and modest wife content to sit meekly with no voice? ‘

                                          those words leave a crack in the armor, another strike to count the times he has been caught off guard. for a moment the lord of death himself could be seen with a sneer painted across his usually hardened features. he chuckles, albeit softly, and it is very normal. very unlike the beast of the night the legends had foretold. but it is short lived, and he is quick to steel his features once again. ‘ yes.. ’

                                          he walks alongside her unabashed, staring straight ahead into the abyss that which he led her. the long narrow halls gave the impression of a never-ending maze. ‘ it appears i have misjudged you. ’ and suddenly the halls gave way, expanding into a banquet-- occupied by a broad staircase of more than a hundred steps ascending to the second floor, and across from it, an imposing set of ebony doors.

                                          ‘ i chose you myself.. and alone. i will say nothing further. ’

                                          tall as the lord was, he was dwarfed by the stature of the entranceway. it felt a better fit for a home of giants than it did a man of under seven foot. his pale hand extends from beneath the obsidian mass of fabric resting upon his shoulders and it opens at his gentle touch, enough to grant passage. suddenly now the asphodel fields stand before her, a blanket of white stretching far into a sunless horizon.

                                          mere steps outside his front door.

                                          ‘ the garden you seek. ’

" there is absolutely nothing & no one who can stop me." (Hermes' life motto tbh also hi1)

                                           ‘ in this realm they would not bother. do not mistake apathy for immunity, hermes, and behave yourself.. i will be nothing if not an audience to the gods of olympus, should they turn you to livestock. ’

‘ i’ve been dead far longer than i’ve been alive. ’ FOR PERSEPHONE obvs

            she was on the verge of sleep, eyelids heavy as she opened them to face him. always so critical of himself. she supposed that was where she came in. she shifted, pressing against him, one arm circling his waist as she stretch to kiss his cheek. it was still a work in progress, of course, but she was comfortable here. she was happy being married to hades. and she wanted him to feel that happiness, too. ‘ i suppose then, ‘ she mused, taking one of his hands tightly in hers, ‘ it is a good thing your wife is a goddess of rebirth. ‘

                                         ‘ the day will come you understand my doings are.. more complicated than they seem. ’  there is a growing heat within those tentative, carefully chosen words. some-where beneath a steely composure still centuries in the making a cord is struck, and he snaps at her, in a most uncharacteristic way.  ‘ i have made sacrifices for the role i was given, and taken actions not necessary for my brothers. i do not expect you to comprehend this. i expect that you hold your tongue, and speak on topics in which you are knowledgeable. ’

this ask meme is based on the blog gravesuggestion.  i’ve divided it up into two categories  ( light  &  dark )  based on the themes.  some of these can be somewhat triggering seeing that the darker ones deal with a lot of death mentions.  please be cautious before continuing on!!

‘  at night i dream of you.  ’ ‘  don’t give up yet.  you still have time to fix things.  ’ ‘  falling in love with someone else is not a personal attack.  ’ ‘  i am still so weak when it comes to you.  ’ ‘  i can’t believe i let myself let you down.  ’ ‘  i don’t care where we go when we die,  as long as i’m with you.  ’ ‘  i dream of saying to you all the words i held inside until it was too late.  ’ ‘  i feel so warm  &  safe when you talk to me.  maybe i could love you if you’d let me.  ’ ‘  i finally let the right people in  &  i have never felt so loved.  ’ ‘  i like the way your nails paint red stripes along my spine days after you’re gone.  ’ ‘  i lived in your permafrost for twenty years  &  then you looked at me  &  i felt the warmth of spring.  ’ ‘  i once wished you’d leave me alone,  but i take it back.  ’ ‘  i want to be able to love someone else,  but you stretch your arms  &  spread your legs inside my heart so that there is no room for anyone or anything else.  ’ ‘  i want to believe that we got it right this time.  ’ ‘  i wonder how much longer i can cling to your light before it expires completely.  ’ ‘  i would travel across the world to be by your side,  because as long as you are with me,  anywhere is a perfect place to me.  ’ ‘  it took me awhile to realize it myself,  but you are not what other people say you are.  ’ ‘  it’s not that i really need you,  but life would be pretty boring without you around.  there’s no one i would rather be with.  ’ ‘  i’d like to stay like this for awhile.  ’ ‘  life  &  death don’t have to be so boring,  let’s make both an adventure.  ’ ‘  life imitates art,  they say.  i didn’t believe it until i started to notice the way your eyelashes look so much like tiny ink stroke.  ’ ‘  live your life so that when you die,  souls will come for miles just to hear your historic tales.  ’ ‘  make your exes jealous  &  your past self proud.  ’ ‘  maybe you’re what i needed to find in order to move on.  ’ ‘  never get caught falling harder.  they’ll never let you back up.  ’ ‘  please don’t go.  ’ ‘  some days it’s easier to just stop fighting it  &  succumb.  ’ ‘  sometimes,  you’ll find it hard to keep going,  but you always will.  ’ ‘  the desire i feel for you is that same itching,  insidious hunger that an addict has for their addiction.  ’ ‘  the worst thing about you is that you weren’t all bad.  ’ ‘  there is absolutely nothing  &  no one who can stop me.  ’ ‘  there is no route of losing you that is without pain.  ’ ‘  there’s still room for adventure  &  there is no one i’d rather have by my side.  ’ ‘  things didn’t turn out the way i planned,  but i’m alright with that.  ’ ‘  we could be really incredible together,  you know?  ’ ‘  you are beautiful  &  vibrant  &  confident.  you are light  &  laughter incarnate  &  every fiber of your being screams freedom  &  joy.  when i am with you,  i am truly happy.  ’ ‘  you are starlight incarnate,  from the grand way you sway your hips to the wide mysterious way you think.  blessed are any to be loved by you.  ’ ‘  you are too afraid of the future to let go of a past that was never kind to you.  ’ ‘  you call me yours  &  i have no idea what that even means to you.  ’ ‘  you remind me of bubblegum  &  sweets;  soft  &  pink  &  warm.  you are strong in the gentlest way.  you are so stubbornly kind.  i wish i could be like that.  ’ ‘  you still visit me while i sleep sometimes.  your fingers trace my spine  &  i listen to you breathe.  please stop haunting me.  ’ ‘  ‘morbid curiosity’ is a wonderful way to describe how i feel about you.  ’

i’m finally sitting here and carefully writing out my modern verse. you’re welcome

[pludote]

SO BOLD IS SHE, IN THE PRESENCE OF A GOD:

      ‘ there you are. ‘ she actually smiled when he looked at her. there was depth in his eyes, like the oceans his brother commanded. and his hand was cold, yes, but he was still the first to touch the maiden goddess in such a way. it burned like fire, and for the first time she realized just how cold her life in the sunlight had been. the goddess wanted more, to know if it was simply that she was starved for touch, or if it was the king himself.

        she had almost decided to take what she wanted, to test her theory, when he pulled away. did he expect her to follow meekly behind him? if a shy bride was what he desired, he would quickly learn that appearances can be deceiving. instead, she lengthened her stride, walking beside him. she would not follow her husband, and if that truly was what he wanted to be, she would have a marriage of equals or none at all. ‘ why me? of everyone, why did you and zeus pick me? ‘

                                          the feeling lingers after she is gone. though he should be rife with opportunities of status, one might find that he is not the same pursuer his brothers had earned a reputation for, and visitors of the underworld who are not permanent residents are uncommon. the gods of olympus shudder at their brother’s domain, the ever-present stench of death felt no more friendly with the presence of kin it seemed.

                                                                            the god does not often                                                                             know the touch of a woman.

                                          he is quick to learn from his mistakes, and careful not to avoid her again; as she fights her way back into his peripheral he watches and slows his pace. there is a brief silence, and then he says, ‘ you are curt, like your father. ’ and this was more of an off-hand comment than a direct answer, like he was just absently voicing his thoughts. ‘ in olympus.. i found you demure in the presence of your mother. ’
