Summary
Set in the nebulous era after Hades and Persephone marry.
Persephone is tending to her greenhouse in the Underworld, when suddenly she sees a small child looking at her from around a corner. A small child who looks suspiciously like Hades.
Format: movie spec script.
Note: This particular head canon is probably going to get blown up by episode #204 or later of Lore Olympus.

Summary
UPDATE: Ending illustration.
Hades takes Persephone to visit her new brother-in-law, Poseidon. He does give her a warning, but it probably wasn't extensive enough.
I'll be doing this work in very short chapter batches, because it's a lot.
Content warning for eldritch horror semi-subverted.
Note for eldritch horror fans: you won't like how I subvert it. Trust me.Series

Summary
Hades' internal reflections.
A solution to Kronos, in more ways than one.
The complexities of abuse.Something of a prequel to Thunder in Springtime.
Something of a musing on themes of abuse.
Something of an expression I needed.And something of a blueprint about the path to no longer fearing an abuser.
Hint: it takes a fucking lot, it takes the help of other people, and nobody is weak if this never happens for them.Don't worry, updates to Thunder in Springtime are coming; but as with "Brother-in-Law", there are relationships I need to work out a bit, because a lot of basilisks are coming home to roost in that long fic.

Summary
CLOTHO:
Long ago, Ouranos set into motion
the destructive cycle of the gods.
Ever since, each age ends the same:
a King overthrown, and gods reduced
to dust scattered on the winds.LACHESIS:
Now it is the era of the Olympians.
But this age seems soon to end;
Zeus is filled with a familiar paranoia, and
it's about to become *everyone's* problem.ATROPOS:
So many things have happened after
the union of the rulers of the Underworld.
It'd be a shame to end all of this growth
because of the self-destructive actions
of a King who never quite understood
the difference betwixt desire and duty.LACHESIS:
And no other gods in any of the three realms
are going to take what Zeus dishes out
without a fight.CLOTHO:
Join us for a most fabulous entertainment,
full of ichor, lightning, betrayal, and love
through not just this age but throughout time.ATROPOS:
For history does not repeat; but it does rhyme.Note: multiple mediums, formats, and genres are used, including but not limited to: comics, screen and stage plays, and riffs on epic poetry. There is a musical episode.

Summary
A drabble of comfort softness.
Continuity note: This is set after the events of our fic "Thunder in Springtime," but contains neither context nor spoilers beyond Hades, Persephone, their kids, the dogs, and the Underworld surviving; as well as Kronos being entirely gone. Thus this fic can be enjoyed even without reading "Thunder in Springtime."

Summary
CLOTHO
The thunder has passed.
The spring's over at last.LACHESIS
Kings of the Gods, after that spring?
Thank Gaia, no longer a thing.ATROPOS
The Fourth War left not
A single realm spared.
Every being still among us
Must adapt as best they dare.CLOTHO
The Underworld's rulers
Have new contracts unknown.
The Oceans must now deal
With catastrophe beyond scope.
Even shining Olympus itself
Was damaged by rulers unhoned.LACHESIS
And what of the Mortal Realm,
A sensible youngblood might ask?
Why, a love-lorn nymph decides
To awaken the Mountains at last.ATROPOS
Oh, the least of Zeus' mistakes
Have left a migraine in store for all.
Still, there's a lot more going on
Than just that and a courtroom brawl.LACHESIS
Like therapy. Lots and lots of therapy.ATROPOS
Arguably not enough therapy.CLOTHO
Join us for a divine entertainment,
Partake of wine both bitter and sweet.LACHESIS
For the roads to healing rarely run smooth --ATROPOS
And the last legs of journeys rarely end neat.Series
