For the writing prompt: Hades, Persephone, and "can you believe [x] followed me home???"

She sees him nursing a whiskey by that big, looming window of his, the one that he'd installed a winter three decades ago, and she knows that something's up. Persephone takes pride in herself for being able to notice the little things about her husband. She’s able to make out of all his habits, both good and bad; the way that the corners of his mouth quirk slightly when he's miffed, or that he always ends up by the same window when he's perplexed, a glass of alcohol in his hands.

"Something botherin' you?" she asks, walking over to her husband and pressing a gentle kiss to his cheek, making a face when her lips grace over thee scratchy remains of her husband's beard. "And don't you dare say no. I've known you for too long, old man."

"How long?" he replies distantly, before drinking out of the glass. Hades' gaze falls on something on the other side of the window; maybe it's the factories or the distinctly lit station just a few paces away.

"Long enough, I'm afraid."

He takes a deep breath and sets the whiskey down on his opulent, mahogany desk. "Someone followed me home today. Told her to leave off, but-" Hades trails off, shaking his head. "It's nothing."

She frowns, brows knitting together; she tenses, and she thinks that Hades notices. Her husband reaches out to give her hand a reassuring squeeze. Persephone wants to leave it at that, but her curiosity overtakes her, so she says, "Who?"

"Some naiad," Hades shrugs, looking down at his impeccably polished snakeskin shoes. "Didn't catch her name."

Persephone kisses him possessively after he says that; she guesses that it's like marking territory, in a way. "Don't worry," Persephone says, panting hard once she breaks from the embrace. "If I- If I leave enough of my perfume on you, she won't be of your concern anymore, will she?"

I have no plans on leaving, but if you’d like to follow me other places:

Isabela has been successfully banged. Feelings have been discussed. (Is there anything more perfect than Isabela’s arms? I think not.) On to some replies.

Honestly she is one of the more unique looking lady Hawkes I've seen! Nice work! We will be seeing more of her, I hope?

Thank you! I’m liking her a lot, so I’ll definitely be posting more screenshots. I’ll have to see where the romance goes before I I decide if fic will be written, though.

That expression in the first one definitely says "ready for Isabela" :D

HA! She was so ready for Isabela to show up at the mansion. I’m barely into Act II and the romance has already started. I meant to pace it out a bit. Oops.

Which mods you using?

It's worth remembering that Garrus was listed as unromancible at ALL in the Mass Effect 2 guide.

I don’t even know what is going on now
