the best thing about the legend is i can enter it anywhere

I upgraded to a paid account and I'm excited to have extra icon slots and the ability to do polls! I'm also excited that I've finally come out of my writing drought. Accidentally joined a new fandom and now I have 4 new WIPs. A good time for the Multifandom Plot Bunny Dust-Off Challenge [personal profile] melagan is hosting.

So hopefully I will finish this canon divergence/Hades & Persephone AU. It's for Shadowhunters which is another apparently hugely popular fandom that I'm years late to. .
Magnus has been in Edom for eighty six days when he hears Alec’s voice.

It can’t be anything but a dream, but when Magnus dreams about Alec they’re in New York or Tokyo or Spain. He doesn’t bring Alec to Hell with him.

“Magnus,” Alec calls again, and then he’s bursting through the doorway of Magnus’s father’s house. There are deep circles under his eyes. He looks like he’s lost a good ten pounds in weight. He’s beautiful.

Magnus doesn’t remember running but somehow he’s across the room and in Alec’s arms, clinging. Alec holds him back just as tight, his fingers welded to Magnus’s shoulder blades.

“Alexander,” Magnus breathes, even though he feels breathless. “How?”

Alec steps back out of his arms and Magunus hears himself make a sad, pathetic noise. Alec smiles and kisses him and then he lifts the hem of his shirt. There’s a new line of runes etched across Alec’s abdomen: grace, hope, love.

Magnus traces their dark overlapping curves. It shouldn’t be enough. What else, Magnus thinks, terrified. What else did you trade away? He has too much proof of Alec’s conviction. But it’s been eighty six days, eighty six days of heat lightning and lonliness, and Alec is warm beneath Magnus’s hands. There are tears clinging to his lashes, and Magnus loves him.


Share your thoughts on a title? It's currently just named Persephone which I feel is descriptive but also maybe too boring.
