#snades

- When Persephone is down below, Hades never takes his wedding ring off

- Even when he showers (which annoys Persephone to no end)

- But snakes obviously can't wear wedding rings 

- During summer, Persephone always keeps her nails painted with bright colours

- And whenever Hades goes up top to visit her, she paints the tips of his rattle tail to match her nails

- Hades loves sneaking in through the bedroom window at her mama's house (she never locks it just in case he decides to drop by)

- And weaving himself into the vines that hang above Persephone's canopy bed

- He begins the process of waking her up by rattling his tail

- Persephone is a pretty light sleeper, especially when she sleeps alone

- But even if she does wake up (normally just at the window cracking open), she enjoys this little game he plays, so she'll pretend to stay sleeping

- He'll slowly lower himself to rest his head on her pillow

- And start nuzzling her cheek

- If she's still pretending to be asleep, he'll drop his full snakey body on her

- Once he's sure she's awake (with a humph at his weight on top of her), he'll wind himself around the length of her arm, resting his head on one of her shoulders

- After weaving through her fluffy bed head, something they both enjoy 

- And she'll tell him about any dreams she had

- Although he can't reply, he'll nod along and give her encouraging squeezes for her to continue

- As she goes about her morning routine, making herself coffee before anything else, he'll usually sit himself on the kitchen counter and watch her

- But if she's particularly grumpy or ignoring him (because Persephone is most definitely not a morning goddess) he'll activate what Persephone calls Cat Snades Mode

- Which involves pushing items one by one off the counter

- (Gods help him if one day Demeter catches him)

- And will only be stopped when Persephone puts her hand in front of his face to nudge

- They'll both ignore whatever is on the floor

- And Hades will flick his tongue at each of Persephone's fingers

- Persephone in return will press a kiss to the top of his head

- And insists on booping his snoot

Quick sketch of snake-Hades. Spending quality time on top with Persephone.

okayokayokay so i have *kind of* written something for this here but i have no idea how to turn snades from a headcanon to an actual fic but adding onto the headcanon, @eliza-is-tired came up with an idea in shrekmet (pssttt you should join it's a fun time):

hades has mad hayfever. so when he goes up top to visit persephone in summer, in his snakey form, seph can hear him coming because what the hell kind of snake s n e e z e s, you know? so for however long he stays up persephone tries to nurse him but it's very difficult because

(a) can you imagine trying to give a snake antihistamines??

(b) hades would never admit to have allergies
