Persephone and Mal re: D3

So after talking things over with @heartsflocked, I’ll basing a lot of these headcanons off of theirs, with permission. I won’t be defaulting to a “Mal as Hades’ Daughter” canon as a large portion of my dash doesn’t, but I am adaptable to it and here’s my personal headcanons on the subject.

Persephone is originally brought to the Isle along with Hades, of her own free will. She had no hand in his crimes against Hercules and Olympus but she protested the Isle’s creation and the fact that a mortal king was choosing the fate of a god. However, due to the barrier preventing the use of magic, Auradon was stuck in perpetual winter, no spring arriving. With decrees (and no small amount of pleading) from Adam and partially Zeus, Persephone consents to return to Auradon for the spring and summer and leave for the Isle for the fall and winter.

Hades was used to having his wife away from him for half the year. What he wasn’t used to was coping with her absence on top of his exile with his powers weakened to their most minimal. Angry and impulsive, Hades finds himself in a brief affair with the most powerful woman on the Isle - Maleficent herself. But when the summer ends and Persephone returns for the autumn and winter, Hades is once more at his wife’s side, giving little thought to his affair with the fae.

Until the summer returns and one Mal Bertha is brought into the world.

Maleficent’s anger at Hades tossing her aside so easily inspires the lie that Mal’s father is human - weak and insignificant. And though Hades lets the lie stand, he keeps an eye on his daughter as she grows. 

Persephone, having been told of the affair, eventually forgives her husband for his betrayal for the sake of Mal. And she too keeps an eye on the child, a desire to protect and care for her arising in the goddess, despite knowing she’s not hers by blood.

(This verse adaptable to having Mal know about her heritage from the get-go, Seph is down to mom her.)

#persephone » headcanons #((thanks to mary for letting me bounce ideas off of them because i dig this hc a lot #so any mals that do have her as hades' daughter? feel free to hit mama seph up she's ready to love on her fae daughter #obligatory purple hair caity icon because Duh))

“Hi, welcome to me time.” [i'm too lazy to log into bornefae but jay walking in on mal doing something Very Dumb Or Ridiculous kshdg]

       ❛ Is that what they’re calling it these days ? ❜ Jay’s got his arms crossed against his chest and he’s leaning with all casualness against the frame of the door. But there’s a curiosity in the arching of his eyebrow and he’s got a deceptively large amount of his attention focused on Mal at the moment. Which makes enough sense, given that he’s walked into -- something? That looks caught halfway between productive and absolutely chaotic? Or whatever you’d call rearranging literally all the furniture in the room. 

       In lieu of commenting on how little he’d guess Evie would be coming back and seeing almost everything that can be sat or laid on not where it once was, Jay saunters over to one lonely, marooned desk chair and drops down to sit on it. 

       ❛ Because it looks kind of like a tornado or something. But I don’t really get interior design so go right ahead. Don’t mind me. ❜ Honestly, he’s not actually worried about it -- beyond the whole. Seems like something’s up, thing. But there are far more destructive outlets than doing something weird with how the desks are placed so -- if he’s needed, he’s there. And if not, there’s still something warmly entertaining about watching this kind of contained chaos unfold.
