In the darkest time of

by Nami_Roland

Orpheus visits her, sneaks in through the back ways to Hadestown and steals minutes, even hours of her time whenever he can get there.

In winter, Persephone lets him in, slips him through the back passageways of Hades’ palace and presses his hand into his lady’s herself. In summer, he manages it on his own.
