3.5 stars. Very lovely little short story, a retelling of the Hades/Seph myth with a trans guy Seph and Hades who suffers from chronic pain. I really liked the imagining of death in this world, how it comes to Hades, how he deals with the souls, the way that translates into pain for him. It's a condensed story of love and acceptance, how these two men provide just the exact type of bulwark that the other needs. It isn't my favourite reimagining of Hades and Demeter, but I did like it, and the language was lovely. Too short for me to feel a whole lot for it, but I loved the intent.

I mean I dunno it was only 40 pages but it kinda didn't do anything. No smut, no real story, negligible character development. Nothing new for a persephone/hades. I mean fine but not very interesting.
