There is no calm

there is something surreal about knowing that there are hundreds, possibly even thousands of other people just like you who are staying up tonight, waiting with baited breath for the new season to drop…it’s like the calm before the storm

Sometimes your OTP dies and sometimes your OTP ends with one of them turning into a duck and the other one never having confessed their love

YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All this talk about spring and the two different web comics retelling the tale of The Abduction of Persephone had me thinking about Fakiru… Okay, that’s not true, I’m always thinking about Fakiru. But anyway, between that and the reminders lately of just how abusive Fakir is to Mytho during the first season made me think: Fakir would make a really good Hades. The kind of guy who has a job to do, and maybe it’s not the best job, but he darn well is going to do it and he’ll do whatever he has to to make sure his job gets done right. And Ahiru would make a really cute Persephone, she’s sweet and kind and loves everyone, the kind of girl who would spend all day outside tending to her animal friends while her mother tends to the plants, getting all tanned and covered in freckles. Then I realized that Raven!Mytho would be Zeus,except instead of chasing skirts he’d be obsessed with the adoration and worship of the mortals.

But really the important thing is: Hades/Persephone Fakiru AU.

   After the series, when Rue realized how many problems she had caused for her friends like Mytho being corrupted by the raven’s blood, blindly following the Raven’s orders to hurt Ahiru and Fakir, nearly sacrificing the hearts of several innocent girls for the raven, and the raven almost destroying the whole town, she felt that even though she had gotten her happy ending with Mytho after all she had done, she still didn’t feel like she fully “deserved” all of it until she could do something special for Fakir and Ahiru to make their lives together as happy as her’s with Mytho in the kingdom. 

   The fairytale kingdom has a special holiday, where once a year, the citizens can grant the wishes of those who desperately deserve it, but have been deserted by luck. All they have to do is to release a dove with a note tied to it’s foot containing the person’s name and the wish written on it. If the dove reaches it’s destination, the person’s wish will be granted. So that day, Rue set out to the dove releasement grounds where many people were releasing doves into the air, sending luck to their loved ones. She tied her note to the dove’s foot, hoping her little piece of luck would reach it’s destination.

The day Fakir opened his window to find a small snow-white dove perched on the windowsill with a note tied to it’s foot  was the day he was finally able to write a story to Ahiru back into a girl.
