“what if they made it out” post canon orphydice hcs

-right as the doubt and fear become too much and orpheus begins to turn around, eurydice crosses the threshold out of hadestown and taps him on the shoulder.

-orpheus breaks down sobbing as they hold each other more tightly than ever.

-they’re both mentally, emotionally, and physically drained. they get home and shower before falling asleep. orpheus is so tired and sleeps so deeply that he doesn’t hear eurydice get up two more times in the night to furiously scrub herself again, desperate to wash away the grime of hadestown and the touch she can still feel on her skin. she falls asleep for good eventually, and they sleep until midday the next day.

-when they wake up, they lay together in bed in silence for a long time, eurydice laying her head on orpheus’s chest. eventually, orpheus tells her that he almost turned around, and how guilty he feels for doubting her and how scared he was that hades was lying. she tells him that it’s okay and how sorry she is for leaving in the first place, and all that matters is that they made it out. still, orpheus can’t help but feel the fear in his heart of how close he was to turning around and damning her forever. he never wants to let her go again, and there’s nowhere she’d rather be than in his arms.

-they stay in bed for hours, until they’re officially too hungry to function. there’s no food in the house, so they walk to the market. they take the long way, and walk hand in hand through the beautiful sights of spring. eurydice has never felt anything better than the warm sun on her skin, and the flowers look brighter than she’s ever seen before.

-she goes on walks almost every day, sometimes with orpheus and sometimes by herself. she watches the sun rise and set, collects flowers, watches the birds fly. she’ll never take nature for granted again.

-one day, eurydice goes to persephone’s favorite bar and finds her sipping on some tea while hanging out with the locals (this spring, she’s trying to cut down on her drinking) they talk for hours, about everything that happened in hadestown. persephone tells her stories about her and hades when they were young. she misses him so much. eurydice tells persephone that she’s scared orpheus will never trust her again, and persephone tells her that she’s never seen anyone love someone like he loves her. they heal.

-orpheus doesn’t write music for a few weeks. every time he picks up his guitar he thinks of how his music drove eurydice away, and how utterly terrifying it was to sing for hades, knowing it might not work, and lonely melodies echoing in the walls of hadestown as he walked out, unsure if eurydice was behind him. it comes back to him, but he stops writing songs about the gods and starts writing songs about his own life, and eurydice.

-they both have nightmares, waking up in panic in the middle of the night. everytime one of them wakes up in the middle of the night, the other holds them and talks until they can sleep again.

-it takes them a while to have sex again. orpheus doesn’t know everything that happened to eurydice in hadestown, and he doesn’t ask. he knows she did what she had to do to survive. he waits for eurydice to initiate anything, knowing it might take a while. when it does happen, a few weeks later, it’s slow, vulnerable, and emotional. eurydice usually tops, but she lets orpheus take the lead this time.

-summer brings more peace and happiness. they begin to laugh and smile more freely, and things almost feel like normal again. on the last day of summer, they stay inside all day. as much as they’d like to soak up the last few rays of sun before persephone leaves, eurydice can’t bring herself to see hades or even hear the sound of the train.

-orpheus’s anxieties run high when the weather takes a turn. it’s not nearly as drastic as it was last year, because the seasons are back in tune, but he’s so traumatized by the possibility of eurydice leaving. for the first month of fall, they spend every moment together. they make ends meet and thank the gods for their lives.

-the next spring, they finally get married. hermes officiates and persephone provides the flowers. it’s simple but beautiful, and their reception goes all night until it’s just the four of them, listening to orpheus sing and reflecting on everything they’ve been through together.
