    Summary

    After Hades lets her go, Persephone decides to get her husband a little gift to show that she is serious, too: someone to help accompany him, when she can’t be there.

    Or: Persephone decides to get her husband a dog.

    Summary

    In their darkest moments, Eurydice and Cassandra find themselves in entirely different worlds. To Eurydice, the woods of Whitestone might as well be heaven. The bar on the road to hell may be between two hard places, but for Cassandra, an escape was all she needed.

    Inspired by the song that plays in TLOVM. You know the one.

    Summary

    "“Orpheus,” He says, “Please tell me you know Mrs. Dodds.”

    “Sorry, I have no idea who you’re talking about,” Orpheus looks genuinely confused, “Are you alright?”

    Percy is about to give up when he remembers something, “What about that tune. La la la la la la la la, or something like that.” 

    Orpheus looks surprised. He looks at Percy for an uncomfortable amount of time before saying, “I see.” He walks away, leaving Percy with a million questions."

    Or: a Hadestown/Percy Jackson crossover.

    Summary

    The speakeasy feels more like a church, or maybe a cult - a roomful of forbidden prayer, compelling the voice into tongues. Eurydice stays in the shadows in the back, and stares just like everyone else in the room towards the stage.

    Persephone’s there, up with the steel microphone stand pressed against her body, crooning into the cold dead metal like it’s her cold dead man. She’s still dressed in her mourning blacks, but the lights in here (colored glass over the lamps, a few neons, because the Lady’s always been a hypocrite) make the embroidered beads sparkle like the jewels her husband must ladle upon her. The scent of her perfume - or maybe the perfume of her scent, all pomegranates and grass - fills the air in here, compels every dead eye upon her, as if their worship means Life might give them just a little more time to savor in Her before they go back to their shifts in this world down here.

    ---

    Hades may have promised Eurydice shelter and food, but that isn't all that a body needs. And maybe the Underworld has more than one soul longing for a little understanding.
    (Title from Strong by London Grammar).

    Summary

    She’s circlin’ the bait, contemplating it, because her boy had failed her. She’s got the ticket in hand. Would take the hard work and the sweat of Hadestown before she took the cold of the surface. Her poet couldn’t feed her, only knew to tend to his bacchanalia and to his song. Left her behind to care for the two of them. Left her behind to care for herself. 

    Well, Hades knew a thing or two ‘bout broken promises.

    That’s how it goes. To know how it ends, and still begin to sing it again. And we’re gonna sing it again. 

    ...

    The first time Orpheus leads Eurydice out of the Underworld, he turns around, and he loses her. He turns around the second time too, and the third, and the fourth, but he keeps trying. He keeps trying.

    Resetting the story is unraveling the world. Hermes has one more chance to tell the tale, in hopes it might turn out this time. The young lovers have one more chance to bring the world back into tune, or throw it out of balance for good.

    Summary

    I was not so fortunate as to see Hadestown live, but this is how I imagine Chant II and Epic III played out, and luckily my imagination doesn't need to fit on a stage in a theater, and my imagination apparently has a pretty high special effects budget.
