The story of Hades and Persephone is centuries old. The ancient Greek tale is one that many know. Hades saw young Persephone picking flowers, and it was love at first sight. He was so taken by her that he kidnapped her and took her to the underworld. Persephone refused all of his attempts to woo her. She even refused to eat or drink until, one day, the temptation of a pomegranate became too great. When she ate four seeds, it sealed her fate and bound her to the underworld.
As time went by, Persephone fell in love with her uncle, Hades. Persephone went from being the goddess of spring and nature to the queen of the underworld. Hades and Persephone were the king and queen of the underworld, where they ruled with iron fists.
This is not that story. This is the story of Sephi and Dee, mild-mannered professionals who live in Tarpon Springs, Florida. The pair enjoys gardening, cooking, and spending time on their patio sipping cocktails as they watch the sunset. Or at least that is what they want you to believe.
In the modern world, Persephone goes by the name Sephi. She has found her calling as a hospice nurse at a local center. She grows flowers for her patients to help them be more comfortable and bring joy to what is left of their lives. It also allows her to guide them to the underworld when it is their time.
Hades, now Dee, is an attorney for the hospice center, allowing him to get to know patients and their families easily. By doing this, he can more accurately assess which level of the underworld each soul needs to reside in.
Sephi and Dee have many ups and downs in their work. They see young and old, families and loners, saints and sinners, and all must be brought to the other side. Some, they wish, could stay on Earth longer so they can continue to spread love and joy. For others, they want to create new torments to punish them for what they have done in their lives.
Their children Melanie and Zach, along with Darius, who has worked for Dee and Sephi as a representative of the underworld for eons, assist them. Melanie is the goddess of nightmares and madness. Zach is the god of rebirth. This allows for additional torment and rewards even before someone is sent to the underworld.
Things heat up even more when Melanie and Darius admit their love for one another. They explore their relationship in ways befitting ancient Greece. Zach also finds love. However, it could end in tragedy before he can find true happiness.

*WARNING*
With a rating of 18+, this story is the spiciest I have ever written. A story involving Greek Gods must include lust, passion, and debauchery among the characters. Please keep that in mind as you read.
