au/genreswap → the story of hades and persephone as a detective tale (bordering dangerously on film noir parody)
Oh man, this thing is even better if Lyra’s tags are attached.
#aka: demeter hired hermes (a thief hiding as a private detective) to find her daughter #who disappeared from the nice quiet nightclub she sang at every night#and spoiler alert: persephone isn’t the good little girl #she’s the femme fatale #she saw hades (the underworld crime lord natch) in her audience through the smoke and lights and knew he was her ticket #out of her mother’s shadow and into the power she knows she deserves #because it’s destiny (and free will as illusion noir necessity) but because she wants it #AND REALLY hermes would be the best anti-hero snarky pulp detective i just really want something like this in my life
