Well, a frequent theme is forbidden love. In Greek mythology, their relationship was not a typical one. Fanfictions often play on this aspect, showing the challenges they face due to the disapproval of other gods or goddesses. Love across different realms is also common. Hades rules the Underworld, and Persephone has her connections to the upper world. Their love story bridges these two very different worlds. Additionally, the theme of transformation is present. Persephone often transforms from an innocent maiden to a more powerful goddess through her relationship with Hades.
Hades and Persephone's love story is quite fascinating. Hades, ruling the underworld, was smitten by the beautiful Persephone. He took her to his realm. Demeter, Persephone's mother, was so distraught that she caused a great famine on earth. Zeus had to step in. Hades allowed Persephone to return to earth for a part of the year. When Persephone is in the underworld, it is winter on earth because Demeter mourns. And when Persephone returns, spring and summer come as Demeter is happy again.
Sure is! Their story involves love, but it's complicated and involves forces beyond their control. Persephone's descent to the underworld and her eventual return are central to this love narrative.
One interesting interpretation could be that the kidnapping is not as malicious as it seems in the original myths. Maybe Hades is desperate to have Persephone in his realm because he truly loves her and sees no other way to be with her. He might be trying to show her a world she's never known before, a world that has its own beauty beneath the surface.
They would become closer. The shared experience of expecting a child would strengthen their bond. Hades would be more protective of Persephone, and Persephone would rely on Hades more for emotional support.

In many fanfictions about Persephone flirting with Hades, it often shows a different side of their relationship. It could be a way to explore their personalities more deeply. For example, Persephone might use her charm and wits to engage Hades, which could be a contrast to the more traditional portrayals of their relationship. This kind of flirting can also add a sense of playfulness and modernity to the ancient mythological story.
Well, one way to re - imagine their relationship is to make it more of a partnership. In the original myths, Persephone is often seen as a victim of Hades' abduction. But in fanfiction, we could see them as two powerful deities who came together by choice. They could be equal partners in ruling the Underworld, with Hades respecting Persephone's opinions and decisions more.
Another theme is rebirth and transformation. Persephone's journey between the upper world and the underworld can be seen as a form of transformation, and her love with Hades is often part of that process. It's like she discovers a new side of herself through their relationship. In many fanfics, this is explored in different ways, like how she becomes more confident or assertive because of her love for Hades.
Hades met Persephone when he abducted her. He saw her in a meadow, gathering flowers. Entranced by her beauty, he took her to the underworld in his chariot.
