Summary
Maeve is a young girl, a worker from Hadestown. At the age of ten, she was tricked into the Underworld by Hades. She doesn't know how old she is now. She remembers nothing, except for one thing: a name, Ruthie.
Naturally, she thinks it's her own name. If there's one thing she'd remember from her past, it'd be her own name, right? But then why does she feel a numb sadness inside of her when she thinks of it, as if a part of her chest was ripped out and never put back?
Everything changes when a dreamy singer boy walks into Hadestown, determined to rescue one of the worker girls. He talks all about bringing spring back, creating a world that seems too perfect to be true. But Mr. Hades is a ruthless old man and he sends Orpheus away before he even got the chance to explain himself.
That's when Maeve decides she has to take matters into her own hands. If she'll wait until someone else brings spring back, she can wait for eternity. And stealing from the Queen of the Upside-Down doesn't sound so hard, does it?
As Maeve tries to save the world from freezing away, her memories slowly drip back into her mind. And with that, she gets in touch with herself again.

Summary
Eurydice finds her Orpheus, but the Fates have different plans for her this time around. Things don't quite click, and a premature death sends her spiraling in an unexpected direction.
An original story based loosely on Hadestown. Think of Hadestown atmosphere with BBC Merlin-esque characters. In this story, Greek mythology is whatever I say it is.

Summary
Autumn.
Winter.
Spring.
Summer.
Those are the four seasons. Most people are used to experiencing them and whatever changes they may bring. But not everyone. Winds change, seasons blur together… nothing is set in stone anymore. Winters are freezing cold, full of starvation and suffering. Summers are blazing hot, full of both joy and dread for the upcoming winter. Both are to an extreme when they roll around.
Orpheus, a poor boy and the son of a Muse— Calliope, to be specific— wants to change this. And there’s absolutely no reason why he can’t accomplish that goal. Touched by the gods, this boy is. And with the voice of an angel, too. All of his free time is devoted to making a song to bring autumn and spring back. And when he gets an idea, there’s no stopping him, no matter what you do.
Eurydice is a hungry young girl, hungrier than most sorry souls these days. And colder, too. Wind picks up, and she’s off, carrying her candle and small bag of belongings with her to the next place she can get to. She doesn’t have much. No one does, after all. But The Fates, bringers of death and weavers of destiny, seem to follow her around at all times.

Summary
The two stumbled, the girl whipping around to brace her hands on Orpheus’s chest before she broke apart from him. Orpheus nearly dropped the bottle of wine in his hands, but his attention wasn’t on the alcohol.
It was on the girl in front of him.
The two stared at each other for a moment, a beat, as if time itself froze them together in a trace. The girl was transfixed, her guard slipping as she looked at the deer-like face of Orpheus. Orpheus looked back. Wide eyes and a slightly agape mouth, he took a step back from the girl. And as she stood still, Orpheus’s fingers drummed at the side of his pants.
Hermes recognized the look on the young musician’s face. He’d seen it so many times. The look of pure love, of enamoration, of obsession. But Hermes could tell there was something else mixed and lingering within the eyes of Orpheus, looking like a deer underneath a train’s blinding headlights.
The dread of realization.

Summary
“Come sing for me, songbird,” Hades all but purred, leaning forward in his seat, “let me hear that voice of yours my wife seems to love so much, and maybe we can make a deal.” The smile was all teeth, sharp and tight like a predator, a wolf.
Singing. That Orpheus could do. The familiar task calmed him, and he reached for the lyre on his back, but the moment the poet moved, Hades hissed, low and scolding.
“Not like that, son.” He muttered, something dark oozing from his words.
“You won’t need anything but your mouth to entertain me, canary.” -

Summary
It’s been over a year now that Jayde and co. have been dealing with this type of thing and these types of people. By some miracle, they’ve made it to the last quarter of senior year despite creators meddling in their business. That being said, this? This has never happened before.
It’s been barely a month since Orpheus turned around. By some miracle, Eurydice has stayed somewhat conscious by the grace of Hades and Persephone. That being said, she never thought she’d see him again.
•••
/Orpheus, Eurydice, Persephone, Hades and most of the ensemble all switch places with some gen z-ers from another dimension that just can’t take this show seriously (and keep making vine references despite the fact that none of them ever had vine.)
Features characters and elements from The Inheritance Games and Percy Jackson, but no prior knowledge of either is needed. (I mean it might help)

Summary
He… he hurts.
More than he should. Even with the beating he just endured. There’s supposed to be some kind of shock after this, isn’t there? Adrenaline or something?
Nothing like this had ever happened to him. He would remember being in this much pain.
He would remember the pain of thousands of punches and kicks and scraps all in one… right?
It’s the last thing he manages to think before he sees the vague impression of three women above him, practically sneering at him as he curls further into a ball on the ground, squeezing his eyes shut and feeling the burn of tears streak down his face.
Broken.
Bleeding.
Alone.
OR
Orpheus realizes that he's done this all before, and that he'll do it again.

Summary
It's the dawn of another spring, a tune playing in the back of two lover's minds, a song of love, a reminder of failure. It's a melody of forgotten names and faces, of sleepless nights and untouched instruments, but they keep singing it anyways.

Summary
The autumn after Orpheus' trial, Persephone returns to the underworld. She and Hades are trying again, but Hades still has a town to run, and so an arrangement is made for her to have company. Each autumn Eurydice is brought up from the factory and reminded of her name and everything that comes with it, and for six months she's Persephone's lady in waiting until spring comes and she's sent back down to forget it all again.

Summary
"Berries: something fresh and alive even as dead leaves fell from the trees. Eurydice was going to love this. He’d seen the way her brow furrowed as she opened empty pantry doors and haggled over fruit at the market, and it hurt him that he couldn’t fix it for her. All he had were his songs.
This here though: this was a start."
Orpheus makes a mistake. Eurydice handles the fallout. Hades offers her a choice.

Summary
To Mr. Grantaire—the email begins. I hope this email finds you well.
The email finds him hunched over the kitchen sink, trying to dryswallow two Ibuprofen; the email finds him running on five hours and twelve minutes of restless sleep; the email finds him not having even started on the stupid fucking movement studies; the email, in fact, does not find him all that well.
