Who: Hades and Demeter
What: together, we shall rule the world
Where: Hades (The realm, not the God.)
When: A long, long time ago in a galaxy far away
Warnings: Mentions of sexytimes, Greeks, Hades is a bit of a warning of his own, Probably language, sexytimes, TBD

Earth was young, and only just claimed by Her grandchildren. They had defeated Cronus and his allies and send them back into the underbelly of Tartaros. Hades had all but seethed when his youngest brother had tricked him out of his rightful throne and had only just contained himself from striking the upstart down where he'd stood, giving his smug grin as he had handed Hades the keys to their father's prison.

To be fair, it had been Demeter's hand on his arm, cautioning him to wisdom that had stopped it. And he'd still ranted for days about it all. Somewhere in the middle Demeter had kissed him, getting him to shut up and release his frustrations through more pleasurable means. Then, because he'd liked the look on Zeus' face when he'd made his intentions known, he'd married her. Life and Death made an odd couple, but a formidable one. They were different from Zeus and Hera, and Poseidon and his Amphitrite. Hades had only looked at another woman once and what Demeter had done to her, and him later on, because of it had made him a faithful man. Demeter was plain scary when she got angry. And it was saying a lot to him, as even Erebos did not frighten him. Due to his lot, he'd only gotten one child out of the union, so far, but he adored his daughter to bits and spend every moment he could with her.

Now they were laying in his bed, satisfaction and pleasure still humming through his veins as he studied the ceiling of his realm, plans and plots always running through his mind. He held the keys to powerful prisoners, and his wife and him made for a powerful couple. It was no wonder he could see them overtaking Olympus.

Demeter's position since her marriage had become something precarious, the Goddess of Life and Growth becoming also the Queen of Death at the side of her brother Hades. But it was manageable, and despite being long and hard work daily Demeter wouldn't have changed it. She was happy with her husband, with her purposes and patronages. She moved between the fields of the earth and the underworld with equal confidence, queen of all she surveyed.

Except for the sky and the ocean. There was an annoyance to her that those both escaped her hand.

She lay now in Hades' arms though and ran her finger across his chest. "What are your thoughts, my love?" she asked, watching his face.

His fingers moved up to toy with her hair, his other arm behind his head. He would prefer to keep Demeter at his side, but she had her duties as he had his own. Besides he always enjoyed seeing her work. She was the perfect balance to his realm of the dead.

He looked down at her and smiled, "what is ever on my mind wife?" He kept no secrets from her. He liked all his appendages attached to his body, and she possessed all the fury of the Earth when angered. It meant he occasionally made her angry on purpose, for he liked it when her claws bit deep.

"I grow ever weary of Zeus and his inept ruling at Father's domain. I see more souls brought here by his foolishness then anything else. He dishonors his marriage at every turn, then turns a blind eye when Hera takes her vengeance. One can tell he was raised by bloody wild animals, he wouldn't know how to rule properly if it hit him in the face."

"How intriguing," Demeter said with a small smile as she sat up in the bed, running her fingers through those long curls, messy and bark-brown against her bare pale skin. "I've been having rather similar thoughts of late."

She turned and gave him a knowing smirk, entertained by the way the two of them were so intertwined.

He watched her as she sat up. She was a sight to behold. Smiling he let careful fingers move along her skin. "Have you now?" He knew she agreed on his views about Zeus, but he wanted to know how her mind was ticking, what she had been plotting.

He might be a fair judge and King, but he had the blood of conquerers in his veins. "Do tell me your mind beloved. I am eager to hear your thoughts."

"You aim too low," Demeter told him, walking her fingers slowly up his thigh. "All you say of Zeus is true, but he is not the only one to rule where he doesn't deserve." Demeter leaned back in, pressing her body to Hades', her lips hovering above his as she spoke. "Poseidon is weak. He's grown complacent."

He hissed to the touch and grabbed her chin, setting a kiss on her lips before drawing back. "You distract me woman. And aim too low she says. You forget that I must kneel with the rest of them, even if it's below my station. He sighed, "Poseidon is spoiled and often throws tantrums. You saw what he did to poor Medusa. She can't enter my realm until her body is whole and Athena would not give up her price so easily. Both of my brothers are fools Demeter. We both know this. Zeus will know if I make a move however. He may not be able to see into my realm, but he can see the others."

"That is why we take Poseidon and his realm first," Demeter told him, running the edges of her nails along his chest, not enough to really hurt. "I place myself myself as Queen of Earth and Sea and then we have all the more leverage when we take aim at Mount Olympus." She smiled her brother-husband.

"Know you that Poseidon has always desired me," she reminded him. "He'll be easy to bring down."

"Stop that before I decide to ravish you again." He let the thought play in his head. It was just talking, and she'd always indulged him in his plans for dominating this world and it's mortals.

His eyes darkened then, "Poseidon is not to touch you. I will rip his fingers off if he tries." Then he paused, considering. "Hecate is an issue. She bows to no one, but is one of Zeus' allies. He gave her dominion over earth, sea, and air. I know you are fond of her, so I suggest you draw her to our side. Otherwise she will be a fierce opponent."

"Please do," Demeter purred, kissing Hades and then biting on his lip lightly as she drew away. "But I think you'll find that the only way for us to take control of Poseidon fully is to place me in his bed. I think you underestimate his desire for me in your jealousy." Demeter would have had to have been blind to miss the way he used to watch her, and that he'd taken a wife that so resembled her as well.

"As for Hecate, I foresee little problem there. She and I have grown close over my years as Queen. I would not choose to make an enemy of her."

He chuckled, liking how she worked. She kept him on his toes. He pulled her close, not liking the thought of his younger brother with his wife. "I do not want you stained by his filth. You are mine, and I am not fond of sharing." He'd noticed it too, and had caused trouble with his brother over it more then once.

"Talk to her then." He watched her, upset by the thought of Poseidon's hands on what was his. "How would you go about it with Poseidon? He is no fool, and I've had more then one word with him about you. He will be suspicious if you throw yourself at him."

Demeter moved to straddle her husband. "I know of your dislike for sharing," Demeter smirked, "and were I a wilting maiden of a thing I might be afraid of your anger. But," she reminded him, leaning down to kiss him again, "I am not a delicate girl."

She sat up straighter on him then, running her hands up through her hair and letting him watch her. "As for our brother, my movements there would have to be slow. You're right to say that he would suspect a sudden change of heart. But I can be patient with him, work my way back into his trust."

And watch her he did, his hands settling on her legs and thumbs brushing along her skin. "The logic is sound but I do not like the idea. Besides my anger would not be towards you, but him." He smirked, "and you remind me daily you are not delicate, if you were I wouldn't have married you." His fingers rose to toy with her hair as he relaxed.

"You indulge me with these ideas Demeter." He assumed she was playing along with him. He enjoyed seeing that darker streak in her. "But the complications would be many."

Demeter ignored his thoughts on the Poseidon idea for now. But he was right that she was no wilting flower. The earth was a constantly blooming paradise, both beautiful and dark, neutering and cruel, and Demeter as well was all these things. Her world was ever-growing, ever-flowering, and just like them Demeter was unceasing and impossible to stop. If the Earth Mother wanted something then she would have it. She would twist her vines around everyone and make them bow to her will, her embrace both loving and destructive.

"Yes," Demeter agreed, her fingers moving slowly over his stomach. "There are certainly things that will need to be more firmly in place before we begin."

He raised an eyebrow and watched her, well aware she could get anything out of him when she touched him like that, or promised him dark things. He gave her things willingly, but when she worked for it, it was rather nice.

He chuckled then, "you are actually considering this. You are Cronus' daughter through and through." he smiled, indulgently, "Do share, as I bring up my point." He glanced to the door to his daughter's nursery. "That, for instance. If even the slightest thing goes wrong it is not just you and I who suffer Demeter. Zeus will have his vengeance through our daughter. And while I can protect her here, my gate is not as locked as I would like it to be. Other Gods can enter here. Hermes for one, and Heracles knows the way. The latter would follow zeus off a cliff if my brother so wills it."

Persephone, yes, was a problem. Demeter sighed and slipped off her husband, moving to lie back down, considering the roof with displeasure. "It is our daughter - and before her the desire for a child - that has kept me from enacting any such plans. My maternal nature has gotten in the way of my own glory." A serious annoyance, that was.

When she moved he was just a little, so a lot, disappointed. Damn him and his logic. He turned to watch her, "Oh hush. She is my pride and the bes thing you have ever given me. If the cost of glory is an heir that lives up to her name I'll pay it a thousand times." He loved his daughter with all his might. Death-gods were never a fertile bunch, but he had married Life. He'd cheated.

"Besides you love her as much as I do." He kissed her and then watched her, "let her grow and come into her power, use the time to get close to Poseidon and Hecate and have her be trained by the latter. She is my daughter woman, and once she has blossomed she will be a force to be reckoned with. But it is not only her. My Erinyes happen to be commanded by Zeus and while they bow to me, follow his command. And we would be breaking a lot of rules, and they happen to bite."

"I find this all vexing," Demeter said, leaning over to rest her hands on Hades' chest and her chin on her hands. "By rights that throne should be yours, and by strength it should be mine. I have weapons at my disposal that Zeus would be wise not to test."

He couldn't help but toy with her hair. It was a weakness of his, "well of course it's vexing. Welcome to my existence. By all rights I am my father's heir." He shook his head, "yes well you control the food supplies of the mortals, who in turn sing their praises to Zeus, and I hold the keys to the prison of father and his allies. Trust me, it should not be this way." He shrugged, "but until we find a way to overcome these problems, all this remains pillow talk."

"One day I will end this," Demeter whispered, and then shifted so that she could trail her kisses slowly up his chest as she spoke, her tone low and dangerous. "One day I will turn my verdant fields barren and we shall collect every human soul to us." How then would Zeus rule when there was no one to be the king of? Let him keep his mountain and she and Hades would keep the souls.

His eyes closed, relishing in the feeling of her lips on his skin and the tone of her voice. He loved it when she was like this, all dark and cruel. "While I enjoy the thought of seeing that, it will keep me endlessly busy. If I must judge every soul there is, I'd never leave my throne. Time my dear. Time and patience provides all the answers."

"You'll have to collect more judges to help you then," Demeter said, her eyes on his as she slipped one hand down across his stomach and ever-so-lightly down the length of his shaft. "I won't have my bed empty when I am Queen of all humanity."

He hissed to the touch, his hand finding her hip and pulling her close, uncaring if he left bruises or not. "Tease." He settled his forehead against hers, "there are some in mind but bare in mind love, it is not fun to rule a graveyard. Dis is dull enough as it is, and the mortals do provide some amusement." He tightened his grip on her and smiled, "what has you in this mood, oh wife of mine? Did my brothers make you angry at something?"

"I am not allowed my idle thoughts?" Demeter asked, enjoying the way Hades grabbed her. It made her dig her fingers into his chest, her other hand wrapping more gently around him.

In the Underworld Demeter was darker in nature and Hades suited her so well. On the surface and under the light of Helios, Demeter felt more at ease with other aspects of herself. But here, in the arms of Death, Demeter was the Dark Mother, destructive and filled with the fury of nature. "Or perhaps I simply know how you enjoy my words, of the Goddess of Life bringing about Death."

A moan slipped from his lips, pushing her closer. Touch alone was not enough. "Keep going." His voice was dark and full of lust and want.

Under Helios' sun she was brighter, but he still enjoyed finding her and reminding her of the shadow she had. He did not like the open sky, but tolerated it to see her squirming beneath him. "You know I enjoy them, that I enjoy watching you, all destructive power with such easy grace. A perfect compliment to me. Tell me oh Queen of all things, what would you do with the world at your fingertips? Besides give me more work?"

Demeter loved the power she had over him, and how easy it was. She began slowly stroking him, her words low and her lips next to his ear. "I would see you on a throne made of bones and poppies," she purred, biting on his earlobe. "I would see humanity finally bow before you, the Lord of Death and Life, just as you deserve."

He never tried to deny her that power. He'd learned better, especially after she'd wrestled several things from him. His eyes closed, breath short as he enjoyed what she was doing to him. "bone is uncomfortable. Continue." He did so love it when she spoke like this. It made everything easier when she returned to her duties on the surface.

Demeter laughed softly at his comment, continuing the movement of her hand. "That's why my poppies will cover it, of course. My poppies and my ivy will twist around the bones and then around and through you as well. You'll be all mine on that throne but I'll bow at your feet, Lord Hades, my husband. I'll serve your every desire and bare my teeth to any who dare not worship you."

"We'll lock Poseidon in a chest and drop it to the bottom of the ocean," Demeter promised, her hand moving faster as she listened to Hades' sounds, her own desire growing with them. "He'll lie there forever regretting his mistakes, his crimes against us. And Zeus we'll strap down like Prometheus. We'll watch him writhe and even from Olympus we'll hear his screams."

The kiss was eagerly returned, his fingers digging into her hair. He would see her on the throne she deserved, right beside him as he ruled the domains that were rightfully his.
