Length : medium-to-long-ish? yuletide-length?
Warnings : kidnapped feminists. horny gods. endearing idiots.
Summary : This is not a romantic story. But it is a story of love, nonetheless.
My Rave Review : 1) this is FUNNY. 2) i'm rereading this trying to verbalize why this fic is so damn fabulous and can't stop with the rereading. 3) here:
The moment shattered when Apollo leapt to his feet, starry-eyed. "Clearly, it is Destiny that has lead me here today!" he declared loudly. "For, you see, I am an expert at the art of winning a maiden's love! No woman has ever resisted me before, and the Fates have seen to it that I share my gifts with you today to help guide you on your quest for True Love!"
Hades, who had actually met the Fates before, was considerably less enthused at the idea of the old crones gossiping about his love life. And besides, "Since when are you an expert in love? Didn't that one nymph turn herself into a tree rather than -"
"NO WOMAN HAS EVER RESISTED MY CHARMS," continued Apollo loudly.
and:
"Zeus." Hades cleared his throat. "Would it be possible to discuss things with you more . . . privately?"
Zeus beamed at him. "Of course! Just let me finish things up here." He thrust twice more into the whimpering and panting nymph splayed beneath him before shuddering to a halt. He straightened up, dismissing the nymph with a wave of his hand, before sauntering over to his brother and trailing a seductive hand down Hades' chest. "We can," Zeus purred, "retire to my bedchambers if you wanna be alone." He licked a path up Hades' neck and bit gently on his earlobe, growling. Hades would have been rather traumatized had this not been the standard way that Zeus greeted everyone.
also:
Persephone stared at Hades for a minute, speechless, before slapping him and slamming the door shut in his face. Hades' gaze remained locked on the ceiling as he raised a hand to his stinging cheek.
Well. At least she had hit him only with enough force to redden, and not to bruise. Plus, she hadn't called him a 'festering boil resulting from the copulation between a centaur and a slug'. Clearly, some improvement had been made.
amazing fic is amazing, guys, for real. there's quite a few fics out there that just make me HAPPY with the thought that they just EXIST, and this is one of them.
