A Game of Fate headcanons

Hades! Draken x Persephone! Reader (fem)

*This is sorta based off of the book A Game of Fate by Scarlett St. Clair because I’m currently reading it. I’m a sucker for mythology and romance haha lmk if y’all want more of these I’m only on chapter 7 so I’ll probably be able to get into this more as I read on! Also this was written with a poc in mind however it can be read as anyone honestly <3

- They never knew there could be such a hunger for another being until they laid eyes upon each other

- Y/n with wild tresses long & soft, not unruly but more of a put together mess

- Draken clad in black sole for a red tie, eyes peering into the soul of a woman he has yet to have the pleasure of knowing

- Hades! Draken who never knew of love but knew he would move mountains-no-countries for y/n

- The Fates knowing what they’ve done to this beast of a man, giving him a destiny so hard to obtain

- Hades! Draken being taken aback by the sole strength of Persephone! Y/n when her eyes held back a wild untamable strength of the goddess she truly was.

- Persephone! Y/n believing no male could restrain her but realizing she wanted to BE in the confines of one’s arms

- Hades! Draken and Persephone! Y/n realizing that they could no longer hold back from one another

- Hades! Draken believing himself to be too controlling and does not want to take his lovers freedom away, not seeing that he was not whom others saw him to be

- Hades! Draken hoping his bloodlust never shows itself in front of your eyes

BONUS!

- Thanatos! Mitsuya & Hecate! Emma being the best support in the underworld and the ones Hades! Draken comes to for advice

*Hecate scolding Hades for upsetting Persephone by being oblivious*

Hecate *holding Hades’s head in between 2 bread slices*: what are you?

Hades: an idiot sandwich.

I feel like Persephone brings squishmallows to the Underworld and Hades keeps trying to tell her they have enough, but she just keeps being more and their bedroom is overrun by squishmallows.

Hades: She looks so ... happy. Hecate: Of course she's happy. She just spent four years in purgatory. Hermes: College, Hecate. I think you mean college. Hecate: Same thing.

He would pry the bars from around her body, free her from this self-constructed cage of hate, and in the end, if she did not love him, at least she would be free.

I finished A Game of Gods by Scarlett St Claire and it was worth the wait. A Touch of Malice has been my absolute favorite up until now and getting to read Hades side of everything is just so great.

I will never get tired of reading about how much he adores Persephone. His side of the wedding was beautiful. I love reading about his interactions with the other gods and everything he's up to in the back ground of the ATOD. Hermes and his friendship is perfect. Hermes is still my absolute favorite outside the main pairing because he's hilarious and endearing.

This book was well worth the wait and, as expected, left me in agony waiting for the last book.

“She asked Zeus for a divorce. He will not grant it.” “Is that what you want?” Hades asked. “A divorce?” He watched the god’s profile - the way his jaw clenched and fingers curled at the sound of the world. The God of Fire looked at Hades then, his brows drawn together, and there was a sincerity within his eyes Hades had never perceived before. “I want her to be happy.”

A friend reccomended me the first book in this one's sister series sometime last year and I've been running with it ever since! I prefer the other series (in Persephone's POV) but this one has my heart as well. I believe this is the last book in this series and the other series has one more that comes out in November that covers both points of view I believe.

4⭐

I can't wait for the conclusion to this story!

Hades X Persephone Saga: A Game of Fate #1.5

Please note that this is not a sequel to "A Touch of Darkness", but rather a retelling from Hades' perspective. This means that you do not need to read this book to read the rest of the series.

Author: Scarlett St. Clair

Genre: Romance, Fantasy, Mythology

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5.

Spice: 🌶🌶🌶🌶

Goodreads rating: 4.1/5

Pages: ‎‎416

Published: 12 September 2020

A Game of Fate Review

Note: This book is intended for mature audiences over the age of 18 due to explicit content (steamy chapters).

Ah, the Fates. They're like that meddling aunt who sets you up on blind dates without your consent. One day you’re chilling in the Underworld, doing your dark and brooding godly things, and the next, boom, you're hitched to a feisty journalist called Persephone. This is the premise of A Game of Fate, the second installment of the Hades Saga.

First, let’s set something straight: when I first heard there was a Hades POV, I imagined something dark, brooding, and mysterious. Instead, I got a modern twist that was somewhere between "The Devil Wears Prada" and Greek mythology speed-dating. Let’s dive in, shall we?

Expectation vs Reality: Scarlett St. Clair, you sly minx, you played with my emotions. I was waiting for depth, for a change in the narrative, but alas, it was like watching your favorite movie with director’s commentary. Interesting, sure, but not quite the new experience you were hoping for. If you’ve read A Touch of Darkness, this is essentially the 4K ultra-HD rerun from Hades' perspective. Although I know that it was the whole point of the book to just read Hades' perspective of "A Touch of Darkness", sometimes it just felt a little too dejavu-ee to me.

Now, let's talk about the continuity issues. You remember that scene where Hades is chilling in his throne room, banishing Minthe, and suddenly needs to "teleport" to the Underworld? Wait… isn’t he already there? I’ve got to say, I spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to figure out if I missed a location change or if Hades was just being extra dramatic. Either way, it made me chuckle.

However, for the fans of the previous book, A Touch of Darkness, there's a lot to like here. The scenes with Hades showcasing his soft side — whether it’s confronting Demeter, comforting a battered soul, or bantering with his hooved companions — is just the right amount of sweet and somber. My personal favorites include Hades telling Minthe it was never her (Ouch! Burn!) and, of course, him making cookies. Because what's more divine than a god in an apron, right?

The world-building is commendable. We’re shown an Underworld with its own culture, quirks, and horse chats. And as for our dark and brooding protagonist, there's considerable growth in Hades. It’s quite something to watch him evolve from a stoic, perhaps misunderstood ruler to someone more human, all thanks to love and… journalism?

A stand-out quote for me: "Take her, and I will destroy this world. Take her, and I will destroy you. Take her, and I will end us all." It encapsulates the depth of Hades' passion and the lengths he's willing to go for love. Bravo!

As for the spice? Oh boy. Let's just say, if this book was a salsa, it'd be the one that leaves you reaching for a jug of water (or perhaps a fan? Oops, I promise no more cringy jokes!).

To wrap up, while A Game of Fate did serve some déjà vu vibes, it didn't stop me from enjoying the journey, even with a few giggles. You'll love it if you’re seeking a unique take on Greek gods and their soap-opera-worthy drama. I’d rate it a generous three stars. But remember, approach with caution and perhaps a pinch of humor. Because when a god starts baking, you know you're in for a wild ride.

Please note that this book is part of a series and can not be read as a stand alone. Lucky for you this can be your little weekend binge as almost all the books in the series has already been released !

Wait a minute boys and girls, check out these trigger warnings first:

Murder.

Sexual abuse (mentioned)

Torture

Harsh Language

Romance Tropes, you ask ?

Enemies to lovers

Fated Mates

Who do we meet in this book ?
