FIC: Enterprising Modern Girls, Chapter 2/?
Author: Melanthios
Rating: Teens and up/15
Wordcount: 3200 (chapter); 4200 (fic)
Main Characters: Charlotte La Bouff, Hades
Other Characters: Jafar, Maleficent, Narissa, Wiggins, Forte, Jessica Rabbit, OMC, Hermes, various Greek gods
WARNINGS: Character death, cursing, plain talk about sex
Summary: When the Underworld unexpectedly gets the dead from the newest of Disney kingdoms (New Orleans), Hades finds himself in possession of that most rare of things: a princess who is unattached. On a whim (and a bet), he decides to seduce her--but he doesn't count on the fact that Charlotte La Bouff finds marrying a god--even a pagan death-god--to be quite a step up from marrying a mere prince....
Notes: This chapter starts the theological discussion that remains a common thread throughout the story and will probably offend some Christians, as there is talk of it being possible there is no Christian God in the story's universe, despite people believing there is. Also, there are Greek gods briefly posing as angels.
Brigitte and the Baron are the two loa of death (loa are somewhere between deity and saint). While their presence is not explicitly defined in PatF, I consider it canonical as it is heavily implied that they exist.
