Hi there I just wanted to say I like your writing also can I please have headcanons for Zagreus,Thanatos,Megara and hypnos from hades with a gender neutral s/o who is the god of decay like their powers are able to suck the life force/energy out of any living being and slowly kill them and because of that a lot of people fear them and make rumors of them being this destructive/scary God when in reality their actually really nice and kind just kinda quiet and their also kinda lonely and depressed because of their powers and rumors that have been made about them and just wanna have companions/friends I hope this isn't too much to ask for I enjoy reading your writing ☺️💖🤗❤️
Very Sweet S/O Is the God of Decay
Fandom: Hades
Characters: Hypnos, Megaera, Thanatos, Zagreus
Type of Request: Headcanon
Notes: This is a very interesting request, I’ll do my best with it!!
Tumblr media
Hypnos
Calls you a sheep in wolf’s clothing. That’s really what you are when you’re not causing some plague somewhere in the mortal realm.
If he’s ever asked what it’s like dating you because you’re this “big, scary god” then he just gasps and mentions all these horrible, awful things you do. “One time, they accidentally tried washing some colored clothing with white clothes!”
He’s really head over heels for you even if he acts like a little shit at times. If you ask anything of him then he’ll do it (so long as he doesn’t lose his job).
You’re just so precious and always has time for him (unlike his actual family) and so he wants you to feel just as loved.
Megaera
She understands having others view you as intimidating and unapproachable. She gets that, her sisters get that. You being pretty much the complete opposite is something that throws her for a bit of a loop.
In her mind, if you’re scary then you should work with it and use it to your advantage. You’re just a sweetheart and she’ll kill anyone that dares lay a hand on you.
Meg isn’t really the type to talk about you to a lot of people, but Zagreus and Thanatos know and they quickly befriend you (after they give you a bit of a graveyard talk, that is).
She is hesitant to introduce you to her sisters. Probably shows you Tisiphone first since you two are a lot alike in ways before going to Alecto, who she quickly threatens if she tries to harm you.
Thanatos
He heard the rumors and so he had it in his mind to be the utmost respectful to you as your job can’t be an easy one. And then he meets you and you’re apologizing and asking if he’s okay and if you can do anything to make him comfortable with his visit.
He doesn’t know if he’s ever fell in love that fast. You’re just so pure despite your title. He vows to protect and keep you safe when you two start being together.
Thanatos understands being lonely due to being feared, so he tries to introduce you to Zagreus and Meg as they have been his lights in darkness for so long and hope you can be friends with them. He also secretly hopes his best friends like his S/O.
Definitely talks about you to Nyx before actually introducing you to his mother. Doesn’t really want to introduce you to Hypnos as he knows there’s going to be lots of embarrassing stories, but he still does as he cares for his brother and wants his S/O to meet his family.
Zagreus
Of course he was a bit hesitant when he heard about your title the first time. But then he met you and felt guilt for judging you based on things he’s heard.
You get so many gifts from him. You’re just the sweetest and he wants you to feel treasured because you deserve it.
Is more than happy to tell others that you’re his S/O. He might get asked “aren’t you scared?” and the answer is always “hells no” because you’re amazing and he gladly tells you that all the time.
Zagreus knows so many people, he’ll happily introduce you to them all! He promises that some of them are even nice so you can have friends.

Happy Birthday!
To celebrate my birthday, here's a drabble of assorted Hades characters and how they'd be on your birthday! You are in a relationship with Zagreus in this one :)
Characters: Nyx, Orpheus, Eurydice, Zagreus, Thanatos, Hypnos, Dusa, Megaera, Achilles, Patroclus, Cerberus, Asterius, Sisyphus, Bouldy
Warnings: None! Good wholesome times all around ♡
You wake up to Zagreus kissing your face!!!!
I believe in Zagreus caring deeply for physical touch and quality time your honour. Once you warm him up to it, it's his heaven in Hell. He adores it.
He's very warm, but it's never really been a problem, given the consistently nice temperature of the House
"Good morning, [Y/N]. Happy birthday~" He cooes gently, his voice is smoother than the finest ambrosia and you revel in it, snuggling into his chest.
"What would you like to do today, my dear?"
"Mmh....Is sleep an option...?" Zagreus chuckles at your drowsy response, his chest rumbles pleasantly and you find a contagious smile growing on your face.
"Birthdays only happen once a year, darling...Come on. Eurydice made you some cake."
"She did?"
"Yes! When I told her it was your birthday this week, she jumped to the opportunity."
"Then I suppose I must get up?"
Zagreus kisses your head lightly, and you melt from the tender care
"I suppose you must, yes."
You wake up and get into some nicer robes, and walk out with Zagreus to see Nyx regard you.
"Happy birthday, child. As a token of this occasion, I managed to convince Hades to give everyone a moment off, to greet you." Nyx's voice almost sends you to sleep again, but you're much more awake now, and you feel too sheepishly happy to rest.
"Lady Nyx, you really didn't need to...!" Your voice is as incredulous as you feel. "But...Thank you."
"Of course. I believe Hypnos wanted a word, so perhaps you should see to him first."
You and Zagreus walk over to Hypnos, who is currently not sleeping, which shocks you both, though he looks about ready to knock out for the next week at the minimum.
"[Y/N]!! Happy birthday! Dusa and I made you a little something, here here!" He exclaims, all tiredness wiped from his aura entirely as he hands you a small box.
Gingerly, you take off the lid, and inside you are happy to find a new laurel, woven carefully with your favourite colours and plants. You find yourself beaming at the beautiful heartfelt gift, before giving Hypnos a tight squeeze.
"Thank you so much, Hypnos. The detail is incredible!" You say as you part, and Hypnos giggles with a mischevious grin. "It was mostly Dusa, to be perfectly honest, but I helped weave it, so getting the first hug of appreciation for it feels fair."
You laugh, before Sir Achilles approaches with a calm smile of his own, before placing a hand on your arm.
"Unfortunately, I don't have any gifts for you myself, but I do wish you a happy birthday nonetheless. Do spend today well, yes?"
"Thank you, sir. I'll do my best." You smile, remarking mentally that your cheeks are starting to hurt, but also that you don't find yourself minding.
Next stop is to Meg and Dusa, who are waiting in the lounge with Thanatos. When they see you approach, Dusa is the first to float to you. The snakes that make up her hair affectionately grasp onto your arm as you hold Dusa affectionately. "Happy birthday!" She skitters, almost purring in a strange, Dusa-like way.
Meg is next, though she holds her distance as per usual. She's smiling, and her whip is stowed. "I've gotta hand it to you, [Y/N], I don't usually tend to care for birthdays, never mind my own...but you got me a morning in the lounge. So...thanks for that."
It was a strange way to go about saying happy birthday, but for you, it was more than enough. You nodded. "I can't believe Nyx pulled it off. Surely there are some wretched shades out there being overworked now, no?"
Megaera simply shrugs, but the creeping grin on her face tells you she hopes it's the case.
Thanatos clears his throat, and you realise he's held something out to you. It was a bottle of nectar. You gasp, taking the weighted spherical bottle in awe.
Zagreus squints at it, still by your side, before suddenly looking at Thanatos. "I gave you this bottle of nectar yesterday!" He says, indignant. Thanatos smiles - a rarity on its' own - and simply dismisses the Prince.
"Regardless of where you got it from...Thank you, Than, this...this means a lot." You say, your voice still awestruck by the honey gold liquid you're holding.
Zagreus of course brings you plenty, but even so, its' beauty never ceased to amaze.
You visit Sisyphus, who gives you Pebble (one of Bouldy's brothers, who has a delicately punched smiley face on one side), then you visit Orpheus and Eurydice, who gives you a kiss on the cheek and some cake, then you meet with Patroclus, who takes your hand very hesitantly and prays for you, for your good luck this year. He says he'll see you at the house, and on your way back, you find Asterius.
Zagreus prepares for a fight, but Asterius is unarmed, and he quickly realises.
"Asterius? What are you doing here, without your axe?" He asks. Asterius chuffs.
"Your father gave us a small break this morning, small one. You said something about celebrating someone's birthday last we clashed blades, and so, naturally, I assumed it would be your lover's. Was I correct?"
Zagreus stows his blade and you nod a little. "That's right, Asterius sir." You clarify. "It's good to know he gave even you and Theseus a break, too."
Asterius snorts, though it's not one of amusement or malice, simply a noise. He rifles through a pouch he has, before handing you a weighty box. Inside is a handaxe, crafted by the minotaur.
"You have no weaponry when you wander out here, I've come to notice. This is for when we meet in the stadium. For if you need more than simply the blessings of the Olympians." The bass voice of the bull rumbles, and you hold the axe firmly with a grin. Zagreus chuckles next to you.
"I appreciate this, Asterius. Thank you. Send our regards to King Theseus?"
Asterius laughs.
"I don't think he'd take it well, but I wish you a good day despite."
Asterius leaves, and you and Zagreus are amusedly quick to do the same.
Eventually, after a day of exploration, you cuddle up to Cerberus and thank Nyx on your way through, before laying down with your Zagreus.
"Today was fantastic, dearest." You say. Zagreus holds you close, playing with your hair. "I'm glad. But there's still one present you've yet to receive, my dear~"
It's 1AM right now. Use your imagination.

unfortunately, i only write sub!character x femdom!reader, so i don't think i'm able to write that :( besides the fact i don't know anything about the character :/
though i hope i can write some megaera x reader in the future! ^^

Yandere Megaera x Shade Reader, submitted by @faeleas (idk if i did it right, but hope you like it regardless. and im sorry it's a little long >_<")
~
it had taken so long for you to sneak back into the entrance to Asphodel to catch even a glimpse of the powerful fury without her detection, but now that you had your spot behind on of the pillars far off to the side, you stayed put, kept silent and didn't blink lest you lost one second of Megaera in the fullness of her element.
she was a blaze of glory, her strength vibrating through the air as she snapped out her whip again and again at the prince, slicing the very breath from your lungs as you gazed in awe. how wonderful and powerful she was to behold, and how enthralling it always would be to watch her fight, to see her wicked smile cut into her teal cheek as she overflowed with the desire to cut the Zagreus down and stop his progress.
you could almost feel the faint impression of a thundering heartbeat in your chest, and that sensation only swelled when Megaera caught Zagreus by the ankle with her whip and tossed him high into the air above her. you gaped, eyes on her alone and in your shock, your duty to silence fell away, the quiet suddenly broken with your small gasp.
Megaera was just about to deal a finishing blow to the haughty prince who'd dared challenge her again, who was so proud to believe he could best her in her own domain, when she heard it. she heard you.
time seemed to stutter as her gold eyes darted to every corner of the entrance to Asphodel, searching through the dim glow of flickering firelight for the source of the sound that broken her focused rage. after a second, her brazen gaze locked on you hidden in the shadows in the corner of her arena, hands clasped over your mouth and eyes wide with... something. as far as she knew, it should be fear. no shade had ever gotten this far away from the House of Hades, let alone made it inside this forbidden space, and yet, there you were, trembling as you held her narrowing gaze still.
why? what kind of foolishness mightve brought you to her? what a silly, brazen little shade you must be to even try, but before Megaera could consider any possibilities about what you might be made of, a searing pain tore through her lower back.
a gasp clawed out of her gut, dragging up with it a small splatter of blood that coated her lips. as Megaera tore her eyes from you to her stomach, she found the tip of Zagreus's sword lodged right through her waist.
"y-you... wre-etched... " she choked, then coughed again. with the little time she had left, Megaera looked over her shoulder at the young determined prince and snarled a smile full of bloody teeth before she spat, "next time, i-i will... have you... kneeling before m-me... Za-agreus."
the fury was beginning to fade, but with the very last moments of her current awareness, she threw a burning glare at you, daring you to try anything near her again.
Megaera snarled as she came to and pushed herself to her feet in the resurrection pool of blood, snatching her whip from the shallow beside her and quickly marching out, shaking the sticky blood from her hands and raking it out of her long lilac-blue ponytail. You were all she xould think about: the shade who had snuck in, distracted her, watched her get outmatched by that smart-mouthed prince of Hades. she had to find you and punish you as she saw fit.
blowing off Thanatos before he could say anything to her, not that her blazing rage that licked at the air around her like coughed up sputters of lava from a volcano didn't do enough to stop his attempt anyway, the Fury snapped out her one sharp wing and took off, rushing back to her domain in hopes that you had been petrified where you stood. when she landed with a thunderous crash and found you there still, a bubbling snarl rose to her throat.
"You." Megaera prowled towards you, cutting her whip through the air just to make you flinch, and just as you opened you mouth to apologise and explain, she roared and unleashed her weapon, the force of the wind caused by it's movement alone knocking you back into the very pillar you had been hiding behind. not a moment after you'd caught the breath knocked from your lungs did you find it firmly restricted once again, Megaera's whip binding you securely to the marble pillar itself.
Megaera stood with her arms crossed for a moment, her endless rage sparking under her teal skin, brightened by the gold ornaments that gleamed around her arms and waist and neck. she watched you squirm in the tight coil of her whip, a grin stretching across her rouged lips as your panicked eyes eventually met hers. you knew all she could do, and you could tell from her easy cadance walking close to you that she knew it also.
"Tell me, you impudent shade, why were you in my domain? for what reason would you think you could be here and not be discovered?"
Megaera purred, but her voice was devoid of warmth, promising that the wrong answer would only end in pain. she kept sauntering closer and closer to you until her iron breath caressed your face, then placing her hand beside your head on the pillar, the fury ran her tongue across her teeth, leaned over you and finished, "What made you think you were that clever to enter the arena of a Fury and escape unpunished? Do tell."
now you knew you had a heart, since it thumped hot and hard in every corner of your being. you couldn't pull your eyes from hers even though everything in you screamed to. you swallowed hard, knowing there was no way out of this so with a sigh, gave in and told the truth.
"I-I... I s-saw you once, in the lounge. I'd h-heard about you but... I just wanted to see you- to watch you fight, i mean."
Megaera frowned at your words but inside her, something was turning. "Is that so?"
you nodded quickly, then instantly shivered it when you watched the burning anger in her gaze reduce to a contained simmer, gold winking in the light of the fires around you both.
The Fury watched you, the hot blush in your cheeks, listened to the thundering of your heart in your chest, could almost taste the terrified awe in the air around you, not that she wasn't used to it. But... you thought she was incredible.
Megaera thought back to the fight with Zagreus, the moment she'd met your gaze, how wide and full of.. adoration it had been. it wasnt disgust, or disdain, or fear. it was... shock, awe maybe... something else.
"How long have you been watching me?" she whispered, leaning closer, pulling on the end of the whip and purring a smile when you whimpered.
the leather of her whip burned as it pressed into your throat, the hissing sting snatching every thought from your mind. after finding your breath, you tightly confessed, "I've... seen you fight Prince Z-Zagreus... 13 times. I didn't mean t-to intrude. I just.. wanted to see you fight for myself."
Megaera blinked twice quickly. 13 times. it took at least a week for Zagreus to get through all of Hades and reach the surface, so for 13 weeks you had been watching her, not in disgust, or disdain, something else that made you come back.
"Why?"
again the Fury pulled the whip tighter, and again it dug into your body, making you gasp as you blinked through the stinging pain, but as it subsided, you looked up into her honeyed gaze with desperation and honesty, muttering with embarrassed timidity. "I... think you're... really cool. Incredible, even. T-That's all."
Incredible.
a pulse flickered in Megaera's bottomless core. No one had ever used such a word to describe her in... longer than she knew. those words settled deep in Megaera's heart faster than she could stop them, and once they were there, everything in her clung to them like they were the only thing keeping her alive.
What were you that such simple words could elicit such a profound internal symphony that almost sent her shivering with shock? how could she have not known such power existed? when you looked at her with that pleading gaze, with eyes that were so raw with truth, full of goodness, of... something, it was impossible to lokk away. in your eyes was something that was more than respect, more than fear, more than adoration... love was the only thing more than all three.
yes, that must be the only explanation. You loved watching her, you loved seeing her fight, loved seeing her, loved her. You loved her. how fickle, how very mortal of you... and yet...
Megaera huffed a laugh as she stepped back to look at you, all of you that apparently loved all of her. The Fury couldn't believe it. a simple shade had risked everything to tell her, to show her that they loved her. how enrapturing.
the lilac haired punisher of jealousy was quickly overcome with something that, in the scope of all that had just happened, must felt like love too, but she wanted it for herself alone. this pulse of heat within her because of you and the way you looked at her, it was for her, and it would always be hers. anything that threatened to take it away would be destroyed. it had to be.
with that resolve fluttering inside her, Megaera gently brushed your cheek with the back of her fingers, then lifted your chin with her finger. when you flinched at her cool touch, she grinned and cooed sweetly, "Hm. Oh, my curious little shade. If you love it so much, then you will stay here to watch me. You will be able to witness my greatness for as long as you want, as many times as you want. Yes, you will stay right here, but if you betray this trust, there will be consequences. Have I made myself clear?"
As you nodded, likely out of fear of saying otherwise, Megaera's heart tightened once again. Yes, you loved her, and now, she would fight to show you how much that love meant, to prove that she was the only one you needed to love, to make you love her even more. It wouldn't be hard.
No one else would take your eyes from gazing upon her. Not Zagreus, not her sisters, not even Lord Hades himself. Your endless gaze was hers now, and by extension, so were you.
end

Punishment?
Megaera x Fem!Reader (Nsfw!)
Summary: Reader and the fury Megaera have a secret relationship, but they are both able to disappear, masking their interactions as work related, so that they both would be able to have some intimacy together.
Tags: Bondage, orgasm denial, cunnilingus, fingering, spanking, slight dom/sub play, overstimulation.
As a shade, life in the afterlife was... dull. You were another shade simply working with the rest of the others in the house of Hades, which, you had to admit, did help against the dullness of death. You had gained some benefits, thanks to your beautiful work, one, was to have your shade resemble your once living body, a commodity that was not reserved for the champion Achilles alone, but has been done for others, like Sisyfus, or, more appropriately dusa, the gorgon head. Dusa was someone you grew very attached to once you gained another commodity, access to the lounge. It was there where you could taste food again, drink and sate a thirst and hunger you didn't even know it existed. Perhaps the needs of a mortal body stays with their soul, making you need things like entertainment, food and sleep. It was thanks to Dusa that you met her. One of the terrifying furies that punished the damned, Megaera. At first you weren't even able to look at her in the eyes, her very presence striking fear in your non existent heart as any other divine being should. Dusa, the ever dutiful but loving gorgon was the one to insist on you two meeting each other- in a un-profesional setting, that is. She was so sure you two would become instant friends, no matter how scared you were of the fury, you couldn't deny Dusa her desire to have a group of friends, perhaps wanting to share the friendship she had with both of you with, well, both of you too. She must have spoken to her, just as she did with you, because Megaera was very friendly when you two finally met, one day -or night- at the lounge with Dusa. It went a lot better than expected, you two quickly found that the other company was more than welcome, even meeting alone when Dusa happened to be busy. Perhaps that's how it started, the feelings that grew in the pit of your stomach, well, the shade equivalent of it. You didn't even have to confess your feelings for her, she seemed to know, and with a smirk she returned them, saying that you must be the only mortal to ever fall in love with a fury… And have the fury, in turn, fall in love with them. But, you had to agree on keeping it secret. Megaera was worried, she was scared if Lady Nyx, her mother, or even Lord hades, her master, would do something if they found out. After all, perhaps they would see them as a distraction for both of you -and as much as it hurted Megaera to admit- she was also worried they might deem you unworthy of the affections of a divine being. To them, you were nothing more than another shade. So, in public, you both were nothing more than friends, cuatances, or even just colleagues, but in private, you were able to be in love and in peace together. 
Of course, Megaera being a fury, had certain… hunger when it comes to making love. It wasn't always like this, but she loved taking charge, tying you up and submitting you to pleasures you never tried while living. Honestly? You loved every moment of it, you never had to use the safeword you two agreed on, she was so good in pushing just enough- dangling you in your limits without you needing to stop her. You felt safe with her, she never hurted you in a way that wasn't unpleasurable, she adored you for it too, for being able to be so good for her, your willingness and enthusiasm. 
It was one day -or night- when you were at the lounge, enjoying your break, when she approached you. A moment before, Dusa had been with you, sharing a bottle of nectar the prince had gifter her, when she had to leave, leaving what was left of the divine beverage for you to enjoy. You were just finishing the last sip, when she appeared before you, her whip handle slapping in her hand, scowling at you. “What is this?” She suddenly asked, looking at the now empty nectar bottle you had in your hand. “Do you think just because we are friends I'd allow you to do this?” her hand took the bottle from you, looking at it in disdain. “This substance is prohibited, and you know that. I can't let you get away with this.” She said, and then, you could see the twinkle in her eyes, this was definitely all a ruse, or perhaps an excuse. “I’ll have to punish you.” She said with a smirk, her eyes half lidded as she tucked away the bottle and her whip, before taking hold of your arm. You knew what to do, you simply played along, hoping the blush in your face would be seen as embarrassment by the other shades and not arousal. The moment you two were safe from prying eyes, she picked you up, flying you to one of the chambers she used for punishments, one that had a medieval sock on the middle, designed to hold your head and hands, forcing you to bend over. You wondered if that was what she had in mind today. Before she could ever set you down, she shoved you against one of the walls, pinning you there, her tall stature making her cold you, her body flush against yours, high above the ground, her lips hungrily meeting with yours. You stayed like this for a couple of minutes, she suckign in your bottom lip before slinding her tongue inside your mouth, rubbing it lovingly against yours. She called you name a couple of times, enjoying the way your hands wandered through her body as she holded you. Soon she put you down, the flush and smile in her face telling you she was looking forward to this. 
“So, my dear lover… As you can see… I have plans for you...” She said, holding your chin as she looked down at you. You couldn't do much than to agree, showing her your enthusiasm for what was to come. She pulled you in for another kiss, this one a lot less fierce, shorter. Soft, even, as she started to undress you. She went deliberately slow, instructing you to stay still as she worked, first removing very gently the chiton you were wearing, allowing the fabric to caress your breasts as she removed it. Under it, you had a pair of leggings, the very same she wore, but she didn't take those off, simply going for your shoes and removing those too. Now, the only piece of clothing you wear is the thin pair of pants, which hug tight to your body, even more so as she guides you to the stocks, carefully wrapping your neck and wrists with some silk, as to avoid the wood holding you down to hurt you. The stocks kept you bent over, the height adjusted so that both your feet lay flat on the ground, allowing you limited mobility. she caressed your rear once, chuckling to herself, before coming back in front of you, again taking hold of your chin as she spoke. 
“Comfortable?” she asked, her voice smooth and laced with smugness, did she forget this was supposed to be a punishment? Well, you soon would see. She also asked you to repeat the safeword, just in case, making sure everything that would transpire would be nice and consensual. Once you told her, she went back behind you, the stocks denying you the knowledge of what she was going to do. There was a moment of tense silence between you two, she was building your tension as you waited, making you slightly jump when her hand made contact with your exposed back, two of her fingernails walking down your spine, almost tickling your back as she stopped on the very hem of your leggings. You got goosebumps, the act being nice in its simplicity, her fingers again waking all the way back between your shoulder blades, going up and up as she stopped where the stocks met with your neck. She repeated this a couple of times, before adding her other hand and spidering them along your back, then going to your sides, giving you a long scratch that made you jump, and then her hands found your breasts, gently kneading them. She had you already moaning, which made her laugh. “I can never get tired of you, you know?” She said, leaning to talk over your shoulder, letting you take a glimpse of her through the corner of your eye. “So sensitive… So noisy…” She punctuated her words by gently taking hold of your nipples, rolling them gently on each hand, making you shudder and whine. “I’ll make sure you don't hold anything back...” She promised, as she leaned back, her hands letting go of your breasts, and allowing another moment of silence, only your already ragged breathing echoing in the chamber. Again you felt her make contact with your back, this time laying a kiss between your shoulder blades, and slowly -ever so slowly- kissing her way down. You loved how she could build anticipation, your mind already wondering what would she do after- would she remove your pants and keep going? or would she go back, and kiss her way up again? You had your answer, when she stopped kissing once she arrived at your pants, pulling away completely. You waited to see what she would do next, but even when you tried to brace yourself for it, you jumped when you felt her. She must have kneeled down, her lips making contact with your pussy, kissing it through the fabric of your pants. You couldn't help but flinch away, standing on the tip of your toes for a moment, the touch being like lightning down there, making a rush of heat pool between your legs. She chuckled, waiting for you to relax and lower your lips again, before kissing you on the same spot, making you squirm. Her kisses quickly turned into licks, wetting your pants and making your sex quiver with the heat of her tongue, each stroke sending pleasure straight down your spine, making you wet. After a while your legs were shaking, the stimulation working you up considerably, before she stopped. Another whine of yours made her laugh, her fingers now hooking themselves under the band of your pants, “What? Did you think that was it? Did you forget this is a punishment?” You blushed, mirroing what you had just thopught of her, your sex clenching at the prospect. Without warming, she removed your last piece of clothing, lifting your legs to remove it completely and set it aside. Now she could see your moist cunt and winking anus, giving you another pause to simply admire you. And then, something came hard against your bare ass.
A loud smack echoed in the chambers, making you gasp, followed by her hand caressing the spot… and then another slap, on the other cheek, repeating the caress. She was putting enough force to make it sting, but she still minded her strength, each caress being a blessing after each slap, you cloud imagine the redness your bottocks where gaining by her ministrations, her smacks growing more frequent with each minute, untill she had you whimpering with each smack, tears forming in your eyes as you bit down your lip. At one point, there was no smack after the caress, her soothing touch chasing the sting away, her lips making contact with your cheek once, kissing that soft flesh. For a moment you wondered if she was marking you with her hot pink lipstick, leaving a secret branding in your skin, claiming you as hers, but your thoughts were interrupted by her next actions. You could feel a hot blow of air agains your bare sex, making it tremble, once you realiced she was allowing her hot breath to tease you. You gasped again when you felt her tongue barely touch your clitoris, before retreating and allowing her hot breath to do the rest. She chuckled why she did so, the teasing soon making you squirm in your place, fighting slightly against the stocks binding you. She gave you a couple of firm licks, before stopping, standing up straight again. You couldn't help but whine, your pussy glistening at this point, your clitoris starting to get erect from all the stimulation. She stood before you again, petting your hair. “Now now, don't be like that, you’ve been such a good girl so far...” Those words send a wave of heat through you, making you feel your heartbeat between your legs. “Now, close your eyes for a moment, ok? I need to change your position.” Of course you complied, and soon you realized something was being done to the stocks, you weren't being released but it sounded like the stocks had been released from their base, and before you knew it, she had flipped you around, the stocks still holding you but now your back was arched, facing you towards the ceiling. “Don't worry my shade, I will make it comfortable.” She purred, quickly flying over a place you couldn't see, the stocks still limiting your view, your whole body trembling not because of pleasure but because of the strain of the posture. It wasn't long before you heard her back, and felt her place something under your back, giving you the support you needed, but it was a bit higher than you expected, making your legs dangle, not being able to touch the floor or even the thing holding you up. Lastly, she placed something you could see, a simple support made out of a base, an adjustable pole, and a round support, one that now you could tell Meg had improved with a cushion. That one went behind your head, leaving you lying comfortably on your back, but the position and the stocks considerably limited your movement, now even squirming in place seemed like a hard feat. She leant over you once again, this time so that you two were face to face, and claimed your mouth in a rather aggressive kiss, one where she forced her tongue inside, making you taste yourself, as her teeth bit roughly your lip- leaving a red mark. As soon as it came, it was gone, she now lowering herself to kiss and bite what she could of your collarbone, falling quickly going for your breasts, leaving kisses and bites alike on the tender flesh, taking one of the nipples between her teeth and squeezing them, making you scream in response. Of course, she made sure to immediately soothe them, her tongue bathing the nipple with her warm saliva, the lips sucking on it gently. You tried to lift your head, but it was futile. The stocks didn't really let you do much, so you simply turned your head from side to side, needing a way to liberate the tension you felt. She kept biting you, until she finally made it into the place you wanted her to be the most. Back between your legs. 
Once there, she surprised you by immediately taking your clit to her mouth, sucking on it fiercely, making a loud “pop” sound when she let go of it, her finger being the one to gently poke it and twist it around, her sucking making it stand proud and needy. You could feel your wetness running down your leg, your body flushed and sweating -or at least the equivalent, considering you were a shade- as she continued her ministration, giving it a good suck before playing with it, rubbing you in a way that was making you see stars. You could feel the familiar tension, your muscles tensing as your orgams was coming- but she must have noticed, because she stopped her ministrations all together, leaving you on the brink, unsatisfied. She ran her hands over your thighs, chuckling as she waited for you to calm down and as you whined and moaned. When you weren't on the brink anymore, she changed tactics, now licking you, inserting her tongue inside your wet core, massaging your insides with it as you instinctively squeezed your thighs together, catching her head between them. That didn't stop her, stimulating you again until you were almost cuming, but stopping again, frustrating you immensely. She continued, alternating between playing with your blit and sucking your pussy, each time stopping, untill she had you begging for release. With a wicked smile, she positioned herself against you, her mouth perfectly aligned youth your folds and her nose pressing against your clitoris, she began to eat you out in earnest, moving her face slightly to make sure her nose her a good rub to your bud, while her toungue worked frantocaly against your sex, licking, sucking and trusting her tongue inside you. Of course, she was not done playing with you though, she wanted to make you cum, but not so soon, pulling away again when your where about to cum, making you sob, but not waiting much before attacking you again with her mouth, repeating the action over and over again, each time allowing you to get closer and closer, until you finally found your release, screaming as she didn't let up, continuing the stimulation through the orgasm, making you ride it out. She finnaly separated her face from your sex, your wetness and her saliva making a like connecting you two, both panting. You tried to catch your breath, but soon she placed her face against your sex again, nose and all ready for round too. At your startled sound, she stopped to explain. “What? I haven't cum yet… So I'll be eating you out until I reach my peak too, of course!” She said a bit sadistically, knowing full well that that would overstimulate you. Again she started to eat you out in earnest, your sensitive sex attempting to pull away from her face, making you squeal in a way that later would make you embarrased. You tried to beg, but she was relentless, making your sex’s nerves light up like a heathfire, the pleasure owerwelming you. Perhaps if you hadn't been so loud, you could have heard Megaera fingering herself as she ate you out, her being just as wet as you, even moaning against your sex, adding to your pleasure. You must have cum at least two more times before you felt her redouble her efforts, probably close herself, making you come one final time before she had to pull her mouth back, moaning as her own orgasm strongly shook her, her hot breath against your flesh as she panted while her orgasm was leaving her in waves. Soon, she had slumped, resting her head against your thighs as you painted and went limp against the supports holding you in place. 
You stayed like that, breathing in unison, both exhausted from the ordeal. Son, she was standing again, giving your body one final caress as she opened the stocks, helping you stand up. You could barely say anything, your lungs busy catching air, as she dressed you up again, using a rag to clean you before taking you to her quarters. There you simply cuddled, megaera holding you tightly against her body as he gave you praise for how well you behaved, running her fingers through your translucent hair and kissing your neck, making you fall into Hypnos’ arms for a well deserved rest. 
The next time you saw Dusa, she asked if you were feeling cold that day or night, since your clothing was covering your skin much more, a big silk scarf covering your shoulders, neck and the lower half of your face. Of course, you had to cover the marks megaera had left on you after your time of passion, but you didn't have the heart to tell sweet innocent Dusa about that. Changing the subject, you told her how much you had enjoyed the nectar, and asking her if you could treat her to anything in the lounge, to repay her kindness. And like that, the day or night went on, nobody ever mentioned the incident to anyone.

Blood and Darkness
Tumblr media
Summary: You were Death and Jungkook was Life. Two sides of the same coin bonded through blood and darkness.
Written for the BTS Ghosite Marathon. Prompt: Theme: X-Inspired, x = Hades
Drabble: 7/30
Pairing: Thanatos!Reader x Zagreus!Jungkook
Genre: fluff, humor, minor angst
Warnings: small Hades spoiler, mentions of blood and violence but not depicted in detail, tiny amount of angst in the form of feeling betrayed and abandoned
Word Count: 1,067
A/N: I love Hades and want to do more of this with other groups since there are so many amazing characters. I’d love to hear your thoughts on which character you would make each member if you know the game. Also, knowledge of the game isn’t required to understand this. Think of it as a Greek mythology au.
Tumblr media
You would go to the ends of the world for Jungkook. Which is saying a lot considering you were Death. Nearly everything was in your reach except the far realms of the underworld belonging to Chaos. Yet despite being the literal incarnation of death, you couldn’t stop him from dying over and over again.
Namjoon once told you to think of it as a cycle of rebirth. He believed Jungkook to be the god of blood and life. Fitting, you thought, with the family motto being blood and darkness. The warrior also continued on saying the two of you were two sides on the same coin. With a chuckle, he explained that’s probably why the two of you got along so well despite your opposite demeanor. You never seen him laugh so much when you said with a straight face, “A coin with common sense on one side and stupidity on the other.”
Jungkook’s return is, as always, loudly announced by your brother, which you hear now. Jin always has the most wonderful advice such as did you try not stepping into that trap and wow Jimin’s whip hurts, don’t get hit by it. Obviously.
Despite Jungkook’s best efforts you still are distant from your brothers, but you are trying. You swear he’s closer to them than you’ll ever be though. Yoongi will most likely remain a mystery to you as your interactions, at best, are more of a business transaction than anything. You bring him dead souls, and he grumbles and ferries them across the River Styx. The two of you appreciate the simplicity of it all.
“Ah, here you are brooding in your corner again I see.”
“I’m not brooding.” Turning, you see Jungkook striding towards you with a grin in his red and black robes. His feet glow like burning embers, lively and bright just like his essence. “Why are you so happy to be back?”
Jungkook doesn’t speak until he’s right next to you. You can feel yourself tense at his closeness, but he doesn’t seem to notice. “I saw her again, my mother.”
No longer does the sting of betrayal hit you when he talks about his mother. You first believed him going on a suicide run out of the underworld to find the woman who left him after his birth to be him spitting on you and everything you’ve gone through. You yelled at him, bitter and resentful, yet you helped him anyways. As pathetic as it sounded, he was your whole world. With each escape attempt he went on you saw him grow and become all the happier with his newfound purpose. Every time he saw you, he’d grin that stupid smile he was wearing now. You learned he wasn’t replacing you, but expanding his world, and you’d do anything to help him because you-
“What are you thinking about?”
You do not startle, you are Death, but Jungkook’s smirk swears you did. Blatantly turning your head to the side, you grumble, “Nothing.” Jungkook’s smirk grows at your answer and before he can go on about it further you whisper, “I’m glad your efforts are proving fruitful. How is she fairing?”
“Well.” Jungkook looks wistful before his face clouds over. “I still feel as if I never have enough time with her.” The look is gone and he is smiling again. “I helped her with her garden and had some strawberries. Have you had them before?”
Tilting your head to the side, you think hard on it. Jungkook’s eyes soften at the sight and continues on when you shrug. “Well, no matter. I must tell Taehyung about the taste. Maybe that will be enough to give him inspiration again.”
“If your fantastical feats you boast haven’t risen him from his mood, then I’m not sure if strawberries are the key.”
“Never know until I try. Come.”
“I rather not.”
Jungkook pulls aside his tunic to show off the large vial of ambrosia.
“Fine.”
The two of you walk through the hall side by side, and you are happy that the master of the house is out. Jungkook stops to give Cerberus a big pat on the head and then he excitedly talks the depressed looking musician. The man actually perks up and strums at his harp. Taehyung asks a question, Jungkook shakes his head, and then the musician’s expression sours. An awful twang sounds out and Jungkook backs away slowly before catching up with you.
“Next time, remind me that I need to bring down some strawberries for him.”
You snort at his remark and nod at Hoseok as you approach the dining area. He waves excitedly at you before screeching at the sight of Jungkook and disappearing at the blink of an eye.
“What did you do this time?”
“Nothing.” Jungkook doesn’t look convinced though. “I think?”
“If by nothing you mean the bloody mess the champion of Elysium dragged in and went on in great detail about your heinous deeds as Hoseok cleaned up after him?” A suave voice asks behind you. Jimin nods at you in greeting as he steps around the table he was at, but just raises an eyebrow at Jungkook.
“Is he really the champion if I keep beating him?” Jungkook doesn’t look ashamed in the least. “Plus, what if I said he deserved it?”
Jimin shrugs, “I could care less about him but what your exploits do to burden the house is something that falls on me. I may be able to put in a good word with you with Hoseok though.” Jimin reaches his arm out, waiting expectantly.
Jungkook, already anticipating this moment, pulls out a bottle of ambrosia. “How about this to sweeten the deal?”
“There is no deal, this is me taking contraband.” Despite his words, Jimin is smiling as he pockets the valuable drink. “Now do try not to get into too much trouble.”
Jungkook watches Jimin leave and once the fury rounds the corner, he pulls out another bottle of the splendid drink. Discreetly, he pours a cup for him and you. Being gods, you didn’t have to eat or drink, but everyone in the underworld never misses their chance to get a taste of the rare delicacy, even you.
“You are unbelievable.”
Jungkook grins over his glass, watching you enjoy the drink. “Oh, come on, you love me.”
“Please,” you scoff, but his words never rang truer.

Hi!! Thank you for writing such awesome imagines!!!! Im stuck on mobile, couldnyou direct me to your faq? :0
Hello, love! I’m actually a fairly new blog (I came around December 1st), and I haven’t accumulated my FAQ yet! But I don’t mind telling you anything here! (while I work on my FAQ/Guideline, that’s a good idea--)
✧ I write both SFW and NSFW content!
✧ I write drabbles, headcanons, and one-shots! (you can ask for both SFW and NSFW for the same request!)
✧ There is no limit to how many characters I’ll write for one request, you can ask for 1, 3, 5, or all the Olympian and Chthonic gods and goddesses! (might affect the quality/length of the post, but I will write for as many as you put!)
✧ I write for any and every gender upon request! If it’s not specified in the request, I try to lean gender-neutral to make it fair to everyone!♡
✧ I accept polyamory, and write polyamorous requests!!
     ✧ This is a reader insert blog, though, so I won’t be focusing on ships, but rather a healthy polyamorous dynamic.
✧ I think the only thing I won’t touch is hard noncon, but I don’t mind dubcon to an extent!
I hope this answered some of your questions, sweet anon! If it didn’t, feel free to message me (I think my messages are open?) or just send in another ask♡ Thank you so much for stopping by!! -- Ryan

"Giving gifts" prompt + Dusa, Athena, Megaera and Alecto = ??? Could you please write it?
"Giving Gifts"
Fandom: Hades
Characters: Dusa, Athena, Megaera, Alecto
Type of Request: Headcanons
Notes: The face I made because this looks like a math problem and math makes me upset 😣
I did do a bit of research for this just because I wanted to see if there was any specific gifts that would be given depending on the deity. It was more so for my curiosity than for the request.
Tumblr media
Alecto
Is very suspicious when you give her the “gift”. She’s not a god that you can tempt with things to get some kind of boon in return. Why are you wasting this on her?
You can explain that it’s a present and she’s still suspicious. She takes it but doesn’t really do anything with it until she deems that, yeah this was done to be sweet and not trick her.
Won’t really give you anything in return. She’ll see things and think that you might like them before making a face because you’re worth more than some junk that doesn’t have lasting value.
So Alecto will give you her thanks and that’s really it. The present will stay on her mind for a while as she’s probably overthinking things and then getting mad for thinking of this for so long.
Athena
She is a goddess so she’s used to receiving things from her followers. Statues, shields, tomes, just things like that.
You giving her a gift causes her to smile and give her thanks as she does with others. Athena isn’t one to show favoritism as she still offers you guidance or something in exchange for your present.
It’d have to be something very meaningful for Athena to break from the usual response she’d give when it came to presents.
Even then, she still tries not to show you favoritism with what she gives back in exchange, but you can tell that she has so much appreciation.
Dusa
Oh you got her a present? You really shouldn’t have! She appreciates it so much, but feels bad because she didn’t get you anything in return.
You can tell her that she doesn’t owe you anything, but she’s going to offer to clean your room or do any chores that you have. Just something to make you happy too!!
If you ever go to where she stays then you’ll see your gift constantly clean as it was just given to her. She takes very good care of it as she sees the present as a treasure.
You can expect Dusa to be happy for the rest of the day after receiving the present. Absolutely gets flustered if someone points it out, but it’s not enough to ruin her good mood!
Megaera
Thinks it’s some kind of trap or bribe. You get her a present so you must expect something in return?
She doesn’t think anything less about your character, but she just expects some kind of strings attached when it comes to this stuff.
Does make sure that she gets you something in return. It might not be as good as what you got, but she still tries her best (not that she’d admit it) to get you something you’d like.
Might just offer you to sit and have a drink with her. Enjoy each other’s presence as she asks you about the gift. What inspired it, how long it took you to acquire/make it. Things like that.

HOUSE ALWAYS WINS – CHAPTER 4
Hades!Jason Todd X Persephone!Reader Series
Summary: Keeping her hand linked with his, they made their way into the desolate grey castle grounds, an icy breeze whipping against her face, turning her cheeks rosy. She gripped his hand tighter, shuddering at the cold, “Is that all you’re going to tell me?”. Jason tugged her closer to his chest, letting his free hand rest on the bottom of her back, “Close your eyes, it’s a surprise”, he whispered in her ear, feeling her shiver in his arms.

Jason knelt on the cool marble floor after he had securely locked the library door; items scattered around him. He struck a match, lighting the three candles around him, letting the amber glow illuminate his face in the cold, empty room. Grabbing the nearby ingredients, Jason dropped each one into the copper bowl in front of him, until lastly, he reached for the blood red powder.
His gravelly voice rasped as he chanted from the worn leather book laid in front of him, “The Erinyes, that under earth take vengeance on men, whosoever hath sworn a false oath, heed my call, as vengeance must fall”.
He coughed as he threw the powder into the bowl watching the ingredients burst into flames. Smoke billowed around him in thick plumes. The flickers of the fire turned crimson before cutting out completely. The smoke continued to dance into the air, twisting around Jason. He scanned the room. The flames of the three candles wavered slightly, licking the air around them.
Nothing.
Jason sighed irritated. Why hadn’t it worked? He moved to stand up when a blast of bitter air whipped around him, blowing out all three of the candles swiftly, leaving him in darkness. A tangy metallic smell clung to the air around him. His heavy, shallow breaths sounded in the room until each candle reignited with a soft pop. Jason heard the clink of metal behind him followed by a rustling of feathers. Turning slowly to face the sound, he was met by three dark haired women clad in immaculate steel armour. The Erinyes. Fierce warriors of the Underworld bound to Jason for all eternity. They stood tall, black war paint streaked across their faces in rough stripes. Their ebony wings stretched out in a show of pride, before collapsing behind their backs neatly.
“We have not seen you in centuries My Lord”, Tisiphone’s voice cut through the cold air, her sword sheathed at her waist.
Megaera adjusted the bow on her back allowing it to knock the quiver of arrows nestled against her side, “What was so urgent that you summoned us here, like a mere mortal?”.
Looking down at the copper bowl, Alekto tapped it with the edge of her spear inspecting the ingredients inside, it had turned into a dark, sludgy paste, “It must be serious My Lord, for you to carry out a physical binding spell and not just command us as your army”, she raised her face to meet Jason’s and raised a dark eyebrow.
Jason stood up and brushed his trousers down, looking over the hardened warriors, his face was set in a dark frown, “This had to be done properly, I need to ensure her safety”.
The three women looked amongst each other and then Megaera spoke up, her iron shin pads rattled as she moved, “Who is it you speak of?”.
“Y/N”, Jason answered simply, wishing not to go into further detail with the women.
“The Goddess of Spring?”, Tisiphone questioned. If she was surprised, she hid it well Jason thought.
Alekto surveyed the matter in the bowl and scoffed, “I do not know whether to be offended that you do not trust us enough, that you have bound us formally or complimented you admire our work, My Lord”.
Jason chuckled darkly and smirked, “No matter who is entrusted with her safety, I would take the same precaution”. He did not want to admit how much Y/N meant to him. He would take no shortcuts and allow for mistakes. His Queen would be safe and protected at all costs – no matter the price he must pay.
“Who is it we are protecting her from?”, Megaera’s formal tone drew Jason’s attention.
He squared his shoulders and swallowed, “The Fates”.
Alekto distinctively stiffened at the words and her wings bristled, “You wish us to destroy the Fates if they try to harm Y/N? You understand the consequences of those actions?!”.
Jason’s eyes flickered black, his gaze pinned on Alekto, “You will do everything within your power to protect your Queen. Do you understand? Everything”. He felt the familiar black streaking up his arm coating his skin. Would they defy him?
Tisiphone strode up to Jason, the action felt threatening to Jason as he watched her. Her hand gripped around the mount of her sword, the silver handle glittering in the candlelight, “To finish this oath My Lord, you must bind us with blood”.
She brandished her sword and pointed the tip towards Jason, her eyes flashing amber. Jason grasped onto the blade of the sword, letting it slice across the inside of his palm cleanly. The golden blood dripped down his skin and onto his shirt sleeves, staining them. He moved his hand from around the blade and allowed his blood to drip into the bowl below, before closing the wound with a snap of his fingers, “I bind you with blood to carry this deed”.
Tisiphone, Megaera and Alekto each dipped their fingers into the copper bowl gathering the paste on their fingers now marred with golden ichor, before spreading the substance along the inside of their forearm, each drawing their own symbol.
A sword. An arrow. A spear.
“It is done”, they chanted as one, before vanishing into thin air.
A lone black feather floated down to Jason’s feet, he picked it up and tucked it into the inside pocket of his suit jacket. A token of their pact. He glanced down at the palm of his hand and noticed the wound had not healed as he expected. An angry red scar remained on his hand, as a symbol. 
***
Elysium was a poetically beautiful world rich with life and bright in bloom. A realm kept under the watchful eye of Jason but not somewhere he spent a lot of his time. It was nothing but a painful reminder of all he could not create and could no longer walk amongst so he avoided it as much as he could. Elysium was a world he had inherited when he became the God of the Underworld, he was unsure who had come to create such an exquisite place. It was a paradise. An idyllic realm reserved for mortals related to the Gods and other heroes; where they would remain after death to live a blessed and happy life. A place Jason had never been thankful for until now.
Jason knew it was the perfect place to keep Y/N. She would be happy here. Feel at home here. More so, she would be safe here. Surrounded by triumphant Greek heroes, Jason knew no harm would come to her in Elysium. It was peaceful. Tranquil. A place he knew The Fates could not visit.
The three sisters had marked her, so until he had resolved that problem, he would keep her here. Hidden. The Erinyes would guard her at a distance, never revealing themselves unless necessary. Jason also knew that Dick liked to spend a lot of his time here too, so Y/N would never be lonely.
***
The pale pink dress billowed around her legs as she walked alongside Jason through the winding castle corridors, a little smile creeping onto her face as she looked across at him, “What do you mean we are going somewhere special?”.
“Exactly what I said”, Jason smirked and turned the last corner, leading her down the grand staircase, holding his hand out to her in a chivalrous fashion, his cufflinks gleamed at her under the candlelight, “Somewhere special”.
Y/N accepted his hand graciously and followed him down the stairs gracefully. Keeping her hand linked with his, they made their way into the desolate grey castle grounds, an icy breeze whipping against her face, turning her cheeks rosy. She gripped his hand tighter, shuddering at the cold, “Is that all you’re going to tell me?”.
Jason tugged her closer to his chest, letting his free hand rest on the bottom of her back, “Close your eyes, it’s a surprise”, he whispered in her ear, feeling her shiver in his arms. The second her eyes closed; Jason took a moment to scan over her face. Admiring the little features, he adored so much. The way her eyelashes rested against her cheeks. The dimples in her cheeks when she smiled. The tiny freckles scattered across the bridge of her nose. The curve of her upper lip, a perfect cupid bow pout. Following the show in the courtroom with The Fates, Y/N had allowed him closer. No fighting. No arguments.
“Are you just going to keep me standing here like a fool or are we actually going somewhere?”, Y/N huffed, hiding her amused smile but the dimples gave her away.
Jason chuckled and removed his hand from her lower back reluctantly, “All in good time princess”, then he clicked his fingers.
***
They appeared in a forest; the rich earthy smell floated on the warm summer breeze that blew through their hair. The scent brought a smile to Y/N’s face. The sun broke through the trees in beams of light, illuminating her face.
“Can I open them yet”, she asked softly, her fingers wound around his forearm. Her feather-like touch sending shivers across his body.
Jason leaned down, his lips mere inches away from her ear, “You can open them now”, his voice barely above a whisper.
As she opened her eyes, a loud gasp left her mouth. Wherever she was, was beautiful. She was stood in the middle of a forest opening, trees stretching up into a perfect blue sky. The sun was beating down, the warm rays were a welcome contrast to the ice of the Underworld.
“This princess…is Elysium”.
She took a few steps backwards and surveyed the area around her. Birds were singing in the trees and the wind make the leaves rustle. That perfect forest symphony. The stream besides them trickled past, the soft sounds of the water creating a tranquil ambiance. She’d been told of the resting place of heroes many times before, but she never knew it was so beautiful. So peaceful.
“Why have you brought me here?”, Y/N knelt and let her fingers dip into the waters of the stream, the coolness felt perfect against her skin.
“I thought you’d feel more at home, for now, it’s a little more lively here”, Jason watched her and as she began to stand, he took hold of Y/N’s hand, pulling her up with ease.
“It’s…it’s like something out of a dream Jason”, the sun rays caused the water to sparkle, creating the illusion of tiny crystals dancing on the surface.
Not taking his eyes from her, he nodded, “She is…yes”. Jason watched her smile at him, missing the meaning of his words.
Keeping a hold of her hand, he led her down the stream towards a large open lake in a forest opening. Several animals had gathered to drink. Jason walked them both across to an old wooden bench under several willow trees, their branches and leaves draping down creating a curtain of foliage. Jason stopped at the seat and let her sit down first. The bench was carved into a fallen tree trunk, moss grew over the sides with little purple flowers. The permanent smile on her face made his heartbeat faster - harder. When he sat down next to her, he kept a little distance between them, even though his entire soul demanded to be in her arms. In her aura. They watched in comfortable silence as group of stunning white stags emerged from the trees and made their way across to the lake.
“They are incredible…wow”, she whispered not wanting to scare them in their peaceful moment.
Jason smiled as his fingers grazed against hers subtly, he’d edged a little closer to her as they watched the animals, “You know, I can tell you how they got here if you like, I think you’ll find the story somewhat…amusing”.
She quirked an eyebrow, “Oh? Pray tell”.
His deep chuckle vibrated through his chest as he leaned back further on the bench, his arms stretched up above his head as he remembered the day, he discovered the white stags.
***
Jason had been made aware of a commotion over in Elysium by one of his guards. Something had been unsettling the souls and needed addressing urgently. ‘Something’. Grumbling to himself, Jason straightened out his suit jacket collar, pulling the material straight before transporting into the realm. After gathering his bearings, he took a quick glance across the luscious green fields. He caught a glimpse of golden winged trainers dazzling in the distance and knew there would be trouble instantly. Taking a deep breath and reigning in his patience, he made his way across the grass.
Arriving at the scene of the crime, it was clear Dick had no idea Jason was behind him, watching the whole charade. Jason coughed loudly to announce his presence, “Busy, are we?”.
“Shit!”, Dick jumped in shock and turned around trying to cover the six pristine white stags behind him, “Look it’s a long story brother, one I won’t bore you with, but I need to hide these boys here, ok?”.
Jason couldn’t believe his brother. What was he doing now? What was he up to? He grunted and looked over his shoulder. The animals were magnificent. He’d always admired stags. Graceful creatures. A few moons ago, he had finished a book about Buddhist folklore. They believed stags were a symbol of happiness and peace. Jason wondered if Dick had actually been listening to him when he’d shared the story during his last visit to the palace.
“What do you mean brother?”, Jason queried, raising an eyebrow.
“I’ve borrowed them from someone…indefinitely”, Dick waved off his brother’s concerns and gave him a confident grin.
Jason sighed irritated, “Look…I don’t want any trouble”.
“Would I ever cause trouble?”, Dick shook his head, ignoring the pointed look his brother gave him and wrapped his arm around Jason’s shoulder, “They look better here anyways; they brighten the place up for you, give you some company”.
“I don’t need company or your pity for that matter”, Jason snapped and pushed away from Dick, correcting his jacket quickly.
“Everyone needs a little company, even your sullen ass”, Dick smirked cheekily.
“Don’t test me brother”, flames ignited from Jason’s hands, a show of exasperation with his sibling. He really knew just how to push Jason’s buttons.
Dick rocked back and forth on his heels disregarding Jason’s temper, a bright smile plastered onto his face, “I’m just going to keep bringing things here I like, jazz the place up a bit”, he winked and then vanished, leaving a puff of golden smog in his place before Jason could throttle him.
Jason turned to look at the animals peacefully grazing on the grass. He finally allowed himself to smile now that he was alone. Moving towards them carefully, he stretched out his hand and ran it down the back of one of the stags, stroking over the coarse fur. The stag huffed happily, tapping a hoof against the mud. Jason chuckled lightly and continued to pet the creature. Maybe allowing Dick to fill the land with life wasn’t such a bad idea.

Y/N looked up at Jason once he had finished telling her the story. The corners of her eyes were creased with laughter. She noticed Jason was much closer than he first was when they’d sat down. He’d moved across the wooden bench and she felt his thigh resting against hers. The warmth travelling between their bodies. His arm was resting around the back of the bench, mindlessly fiddling with stray strands of her hair that fell down the middle of her back. Twirling it around his fingers. The touch drove her wild. It was so innocent. So pure. Her heart swelled with affection.
She inched herself closer into his body and bit her lip. Jason stiffened a little when her head rested on his shoulder, not used to affection, but he relaxed when he heard her humming gently under her breath. Soothing and sweet. An old Greek melody.
Her fingers began drawing circles on the top of his hand which was resting on his knee. Now would be the perfect time to bring up what happened in the courtroom with the Fates. Y/N needed to know what he meant. His Queen.
“Jason”, her voice sounded breathier than she intended.
“Yes princess?”, Jason continued to wind her hair around his finger, enjoying her resting against him. The touch on the back of his hand and lulled him into a relaxed state.
She swallowed nervously and moved her head so she could look up into his eyes. Those deep blue pools, “I need to ask you something”.
His face softened as he nodded, “Of course, anything”.
Taking a deep breath, she let the question slip from her lips fluidly before she lost her confidence, “What did you mean when you called me your Queen?”.
Jason froze. Y/N swore he didn’t blink for a few solid minutes. Almost like he’d switched off the lights in his mind.
“Jay…”, she pressed again and squeezed his hand lightly. She was convinced there was pink scattering across his cheeks, “Jason?”.
He twitched and blinked repeatedly, his eyes darting around. Looking anywhere but at her. His palms suddenly felt heavy and sweaty against his knee. Jason knew she was staring at him expectantly, waiting for his answer. The longer he left this, the worse it would be. But the words kept dying in his throat. He desperately wanted to tell her, but he couldn’t.
Not yet at least.
“I’ve got to head back princess”.
“Wait…what?”, she scrunched her face up.
He jumped off the bench and adjusted the sleeves on his shirt awkwardly, avoiding her beautiful eyes, “I have a few meetings tonight at the casino and I need to leave…I err…I didn’t realise what time it was”.
“Jason…don’t, please don’t go”, Y/N warned, reaching for his wrist, trying to pull him back to her, “You can’t”.
“I’m sorry”, he stepped back, just far enough so he was out of her reach, “Elysium is yours, this will be your home”, Jason mumbled.
Before she could say anything else, he vanished. A dark black cloud loomed in his place before it dissipated into the air around her.

Four weeks. It had taken Jonathan four long weeks to track down The Moirai. But here he was. Jonathan stood out of the antique shop, the golden sign ‘Animabus Damnatis’ bashed against the crumbling brick wall of the dark alleyway. He pulled the bandana down from around his face and pushed open the heavy door, hitting a strong stench of something rotting. Jonathan winced at the smell and took light steps into the shop, calling out wearily, “Hello?”.
He heard the floor creaking under his hefty boots, the noise bouncing off the mouldy walls. Jonathan called out again with no answer. The frustration was burning in the pit of his stomach. Another journey wasted, all for nothing. Until he noticed a soft mist beginning to coat the floor, creeping closer to his feet. He sucked in a sharp breath as the mist wrapped around his feet and travelled up his legs like a mystical snake. His heart was racing, maybe he’d made a mistake coming here. Was this the right store? He turned for the door, but the lock snapped into place and the curtains fell, shutting out all but a single beam of light sneaking through a gap in the drapes.
Jonathan twisted his neck towards the door at the back of the shop, it opened slowly, revealing three old women in black hooded robes who were starting to hobble towards him.
“Mr Crane…I see you finally made it”, Atropos gasped, her voice frail and broken.
Lachesis edged closer and her bony finger drew down Jonathan’s cheek, “A man of science…a man of intelligence”, her frosty stale breath ran down his neck, causing him to shiver in disgust. 
“It has been a while since such a handsome young man strolled into our domain”, Clotho gripped his shoulder with her claw like nails and spun him round to face her, her sheer white eyes drove into his frightened blue ones.
He swallowed, trying to make his voice sound deeper, more confident, “I have come seeking-”.
Atropos pressed a long, scrawny finger against his chapped lips, silencing him immediately, “We know what you seek, I have seen it”.
“We see everything”, Clotho motioned to the cracked crystal ball in the centre of the room, “We can give you everything you want…and more”.
The air around him thickened and the oxygen fell into his lungs like treacle, Lachesis wrapped a sheer white sheet over Jonathan’s face taking him by surprise, her hold astonishingly strong for an old woman. Jonathan struggled against the sheet, crawling at his mouth but stopped upon hearing their chant, sung in a siren-like voice, stilling his mind.
“Ah but it is not knowledge you desire, Your heart burns to quell its ire, This we can grant if not for the Erinyes and their power, You must draw out the little queen from her gilded cage, Only then will your wisdom ascend to that of a sage, The Erinyes will fall with this lyre, And with this poison you will not fail, Soon the little queen, along the blackest waters she will sail.”
The moment the verse ended, the sheet was ripped from his face and the three women had vanished. The curtains pulled back and the blistering sun blinded through the window. The beams of light landed onto the table in the centre of the room. The crystal ball was gone but in its place was a beautiful golden lyre, sapphires encrusted the edges, the strings a midnight blue. The item commanded attention. It was beautiful. Jonathan edged towards the lyre and cast his eyes to the tiny vial next to it. Inside was a glittering emerald potion, swirling. The specks of glitter shimmering in the sunlight. It was there and then; he knew exactly what he had to do. No matter the cost.
