Drabbles for the restless...

[neotoma]

Since I can't seem to settle tonight, and I'm behind on my writing, I'm asking for drabble prompts.

Currently, I'm writing in a fairly obscure corners of the DC Comics Universe (being The Flash and the Justice Society of America), but I can also try Astonishing Xmen and Xmen First Class if you're a Marvel fan. Actually, I can *try* just about any fandom that I'm familiar with, but if it's been years I might not have any juice.

So... character/pairing and word prompts, please?

Piper/Trickster (yes, again, sorry): Anything that is a follow up of the Hades and Persephone plot that you shared earlier.

On the banks of the Styx...

"I don’t think you're supposed to be doing that…" Trickster said. "I'm pretty sure it's against the rules."

"Who says?" Piper went back to adjusting the strings.

"Well... Me? I mean, 'King of Hell', y'know? There are rules, and I'm supposed to play by them. I have to."

Piper rolled his eyes. "You never played by the rules in your life."

He lifted the lyre, and began to play.

The trees shivered, their piteous groaning ceasing.

Trickster caught his breathe, astounded.

Piper played on, and the Wood of the Suicides began to bud and flower.

Spring had come to Hell.

Piper brought Spring to Hell?! Love it!

Well, if Trickster has taken Hades' role, then Piper has to be Persephone, right?

I probably misremember my Greek mythology - for some reason I thought Persephone only brought spring to Earth when she returns from Hell. I have no recollection of her affect in Hell itself.

I don't think Persephone is stated to bring spring to Hell... but she's a spring goddess. And it's not like Piper lets the rules *stop* him. :D
