12!!This webcomic provides examples of the following tropes:
13
14* AdaptationalConsent: Downplayed. While Hades whisks Persephone to the Underworld against his will, he is quick to take on Hades as a lover. He still has doubts about the arrangement no matter how comfortable be becomes with the Underworld, refusing to eat for fear that the food would make him forget about the surface.
15* AdaptationalSexuality:
16** While most of the gods were known to play for both teams depending on the myth, Hades is arguably the most heterosexual, taking Persephone as his bride and any adulterous relationships he may have had (like with Minth) were women as well. Here he marries Persephone, who in this case is a male.
17** Orpheus is female in this story, but is still with Eurydice.
18* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Being the ruler of the realm of dreams and the dead, Hades seems to have certain customs and understanding of things different from those on the surface. For example, he was the one who planted the narcissus flowers in the field as something of a proposal ring for Persephone, believing that he said "yes" when Persephone tried to pick them since Hades considers them ''his'' flowers (having a field filled with nothing ''but'' narcissus in the underworld).
19* ClaimedByTheSupernatural: The moment Persephone consents to Hades' advances, his hands and feet are blackened.
20* RuleSixtyThree:
21** The story is about Persephone being portrayed as a god instead of a goddess.
22** Orpheus is portrayed as female.
23** In mythology, the Furies are often portrayed as all female. Here, one of them is male.
