✧*When we collide✧•

Featuring : Hades!Tony Stark/fem!reader

Summary : He had truly thought he had lost you. Until he realised that he hadn't.

Warnings : Mentions of death, future dub-con? Thought of kidnapping, angst, non consensual voyeurism (he stares at her while bathing but not too much. Warning given just to be safe), one sided Hermes x reader, a bit of possessiveness, allusions to sex. 18+. Flashback in italics. Everything is consensual in the past. Reincarnation. Slightly mythologically inaccurate. Proof read by myself. Sorry for mistakes if any.

Word count : 1393

A/n : ah my first long one shot. This was written for @thanatosfic's 1k writing challenge. Please do let me know if there's any mistake. I changed the real story slightly for my needs. Please let me know what you think of this ✧°•◦. Dividers by @firefly-graphics.

The reader is the past lover of Hades, also known as Leuce, daughter of Oceanus.

Please don't copy or translate this content into any other sites without my permission.

Leaves of the white poplar fluttered gently in the warm air as he watched the souls drift by, eyes blank and unyielding. Gently he rested his head on the bark of the tree, his posture defeated as he slowly slid down against the aspen.

Phantom fingers brushed through his hair, the murmur of the leaves indistinguishable from the memory of her dead sweet melody. His hands fingered the deceased leaves as gentle sobs rocked his chest, tears breaking the carefully constructed visage of a king.

Perhaps it had been her eyes, plain at first sight, yet containing all the mysteries of the world, that led to his fall. Mischievous and playful, they drew him to her like how a siren calls out to a sailor, the latter sunken in the sweet music, approaching his doom unaware. Sir Anthony, as he had been known then, was a gentle and sincere man as contrasted to his dark and cruel image as the Hades. She was quick to be trapped in his grasp, as he was in hers, his handsome countenance only helping his bearing as the nymph fell, deeper and deeper into the abyss of his love.

He stood up slowly and stroked the pale smooth trunk of the tree, lovingly bidding her farewell and blinked his eyes to clear them of tears. He may be a king, lord of the underworld and the dead, but before that he is a man, destroyed by the loss of his love, so utterly obliterated that he feared he may not love again. Strolling down to the banks of the Nyx, he absent mindedly motioned towards Charon, the ferryman to bring the boat closer. Charon stared, eyes unblinking as he pushed off the edge of the land. The silence and the gentle sway of the boat bringing him back to the time he had seduced her to his world, the beauty of it diminishing in her proximity.

Stepping off the boat, he glided through the entrance towards the land of life, fondly brushing off Cerberus as he lolled around him happily. Perhaps some time in her birth realm would cure his pain.

Annoyance flickered through him as he heard the giggles of several nymphs speared into his ears. A voice in his mind that he dubbed as the dummy nagged him to summon Cerberus to frighten them. Snorting slightly at the image formed, he opened his eyes and made himself invisible to ward off unwanted pursuers and strolled towards the origin of the voice.

Shock was perhaps the first feeling that overcame him when he saw the maiden kneeling in the stream, nimble fingers playing around with the riverside turf. The thin robe she wore was translucent, the gentle gust of wind visibly making her shiver. Gone was the weight in his chest, a weight born out of loneliness, a weight whose existence he was entirely unaware of, as a fire, as boiling as the flames in the maws of the deepest pits in his world, burned through him, paving a way through his nous to his loins.

Deep soulful eyes peered flickered around, passing over his invisible form, igniting a shiver in him. The annoying nymphs fluttered around her, the cacophony of their giggles echoing harshly in his sensitive ears; ears that were eagerly waiting to lap up the symphony that he was sure the damsel would emit.

Oh how he wanted her in his greedy grasp, to watch her naivety and trust in the world ebbing away in the darkness of his chambers. To have her lust-driven, whining and moaning in his arms; trust becoming something she gave him and only him. Willingly.

He would burn the world for her.

Reining himself in, he stared longingly at the maiden from his place amongst the crowds. Oceanus' daughters were not particularly known for mingling with humans. But you were and he was not here to disappoint.

He twiddled with the cloth belt and looked down at the typical garment of the merchants. The voice in his brain yet again invited itself to chime in about the inappropriateness of lying to a lady, a beautiful one at that, when they first met. A destined meeting.

His breath hitched. You were looking at him. He forced his lips to form a smile that he was sure made him look like a threatening chimp.

Amusement was perhaps the most evident expression one could decipher from your face, succeeded by curiosity and perhaps a pinch of lust. The voice was now muttering on how ego clouds the eye. Bright eyes yet again ran over his countenance, pausing over his torso. He was neither the God of lust, nor desire, yet he would have had to be blind to not notice her hunger. She was hooked.

He was on familiar ground now.

Slow fingers tracked the waves of his hair, their practiced movement drawing him away from his slumber. Feathery kisses rained upon his face, their familiarity making him sigh and nuzzle closer into the warmth. She hummed mindlessly, eyes endearingly peering at him. He rose on his elbows and kissed her passionately, still unable to believe that this amazing creature was his. Loving whispers echoed throughout the manor, until it was all that could be heard.

I love you

I love you.

He sat on the bank of the stream, staring aimlessly. The forest was quiet, acknowledging his mourning. The playful burble of the stream lulling him back to his memories, a time when he thought anything, everything would be possible with you. Yet here he is, lamenting the loss of his heart, punishing himself for falling for a light so bright but brief.

A sudden prickle brought him out of his thoughts, the hairs on his neck rising as he sensed someone nearby. He forced himself to stay silent as his ears caught the sound of small flaps of wings and moved stealthily towards the origin of the sound.

Hermes.

The son of Zeus stood in the shadows of the trees that surrounded a large meadow, bright blue eyes fondly focusing on something out of sight. Curiosity rose in him, pondering on the fact that Steven was clearly hiding himself from the latter's subject of attention. He melted back into the shadows as Steve rose into the air, his hesitancy to leave obvious, and vanished from sight even before he reached the tree line.

Moving along the shadows cautiously with trepidation, he paused to make sure the God was really gone. Surprise bloomed in him when he heard gay feminine laughter, the symphony making him furrow his brows in Deja Vu. He lingered near the borders of the meadow, hoping to catch a glimpse of Hermes' object of affection.

His knees buckled and he slumped into a nearby tree as he caught sight of the maiden, his mind blank. All movement around them ceased, voices of the accompanying nymphs deadening, the edges of his vision blurring slightly until all that remained was you.

Reincarnation, or the Metempsychosis, the idea of transmigration of the soul after the death of the body was something he liked, a little chance for the good souls of the Elysian fields to have a chance to live again. Even if it was a reincarnated soul, the fact that they wouldn't retain their memories made them good as a new soul, the sins of their past life, if any, redeemed before their birth.

You were the same as before, eyes perhaps a little brighter, voice perhaps a little more melodious, face perhaps more beautiful than in the past, putting Aphrodite's to shame. Oh how he yearned to pull you into his arms, to reduce the distance between the two of you until nothing remained.

He was brought back from his musings when you and your gaggle of nymphs rose to leave, his lips widening to say something, anything to prevent you from leaving. Had you been alone, he would have taken you, deep into his world in a moment. But having no idea who the nymphs would run to, he restrained himself.

Patience, he told himself. If he was yours in your last life, he would have you in all of yours. And that was a promise he intended to keep, no matter which God had planned to take you.

A/n : thank you for reading.

Boredom Buster Question: what not mainstream comics hero do you think would be suited to integrating into the big two? Like, do you think Night Rider (they count but Hassle doesn’t) would work as an entity in DC comics? Or what about Tru from Tru Calling, do you think she’d work as a vigilante in marvel? Or any other of that type, the scifi/action/adventure shows. Aside from the obvious, like Mutant X or Heroes being integrated into the X Men. (Tho maybe Heroes wok better as Inhumans?)

Ooooh too many! I could definitely see Firebreather in the Marvel U, esp considering he started out as a Young Avengers pitch that Marvel passed on and then ended up at Image. And he’d be a good fit tonally.

Aspen, from Fathom, and literally all that world-building, could easily be transplanted right into the Marvel U and emerge as like, a rival underwater species/nation Namor is unfamiliar with until they come up from the depths similar to the way the Black did in the Fathom comic. Like, the writing for that series and a lot else of it was Not Good, but I loved the worldbuilding and ideas, and I do think they’d fit Marvel well.

Similarly, this is kinda cheating since due to being a Wildstorm character he’s technically DC, even though I haven’t seen him anywhere there since that World’s End crossover event, but Backlash was long one of my favorite Wildstorm characters and I always thought he would fit Marvel better than DC. Leave out his Kherubim heritage as unnecessary and he could easily be a Weapon X project.

Dynamo 5 from Image and their entire concept could easily make for a good family of DC heroes.

So could the whole Noble family to be honest.

A number of Rising Stars characters could fit well in either Marvel or DC - I’d go with Pyre, Chandra, and Ravenshadow for sure.....I’m thinking Marvel. Maybe throw in Matthew Bright as well, and Sanctuary.

The Wicked + The Divine’s ending pissed me off, so the characters who deserved better from that should end up in the Marvel Universe instead, specifically Baal, Nergal and Sekhmet. But also Inanna too for no other reason than I love him.

As far as TV shows go:

LOL well you know me and my long-standing Scott McCall as DC hero Lone Wolf, teenage protégé of Mari McCabe, Danny as Poison Ivy’s, with Kira in there somewhere as Foxfire.

Max from Dark Angel and her siblings could be a book about escaped teens from a rival government facility/project of Weapon X’s.

Magnus Bane from Shadowhunters casts a “Save Me From This Hell” spell, fueled by the mystical essence of Deserving Better, and winds up in the Marvel universe, ousts Dr. Strange as the Sorcerer Supreme, and regularly has spell duels with Ilyana not because she wants his job, but because they both find their sparring matches wildly entertaining. Except they don’t consider them sparring matches because if there’s not even a chance of either of them winding up even a LITTLE dead, its like what’s even the point, y’know? They’re not novices.

Tbh, I’ve never really been all that keen on Adam Strange, but his concept isn’t that far off from Farscape’s, so replace him and his book from any point in the DC universe with Crichton and the crew of Moya, and I’m good.

You could easily drop the entire town of Haven and that entire premise right smack in Maine in the DC universe, and voila.

Shawn Farrell from The 4400 I could see in the DC universe, not sure why I feel he’d be a better fit there than Marvel, I just do.

Marvel has too many vampires and not enough werewolves. That needs fixing, so drop Wolf Lake and all its inhabitants somewhere on the West Coast.

Zeke Stone from Brimstone could fit into DC as a bounty hunter working for Neron.

Ben Hawkins and Brother Justin Crowe from Carnivale could be figures from the history of the DC Earth, their battle between light and dark having happened in the 1930s Depression era there.

The W.I.T.C.H. girls could be a team in the Marvel Universe, with all their villains like Prince Phobos, Cedric and Nerissa there as well, but could also just as easily battle established Marvel villains like Diablo.

Ben 10 could easily be a DC character.

And then because I will never ever be over the bankruptcy of Crossgen and the cancellation of all of their titles and so many lost and wasted characters and because I will always be pissed at Marvel for doing nothing with any of those characters despite having ALL OF THEM thanks to Disney purchasing the whole damn company just to get the one book, Abadazad, which they never did anything with either.....I would put every last one of my faves from that company in the DC universe and they would be sooooo gooooood there.

Giselle Villard and all the Guild Spirits from Mystic would be BFFs with Zatanna, and keep her enemies Animora and Darrow.

Samandahl Rey, Roiya Sintor and Zaniati Oribatta from Sigil would be off on Sam’s ship The Bitterluck, involved in some interplanetary war somewhere in DC space like with the Thanagarians.

Sephie from Meridian would be....I have no idea actually, because Earth just doesn’t work for her, not without her sky pirates, so put all of them on some random planet in DC space inexplicably populated with ‘might as well be Earth humans.’

Simon Archard and Emma Bishop from Ruse would be based out of London, occasionally being consulted by various other DC heroes like Batman, who Emma would piss off just by existing, and Constantine, who would piss off Simon just by existing.

Have Capricia, Tug, Verityn, Zephyre and the twins Gammid and Galvan from Crux be ancient Atlanteans here as well, who end up discovered in stasis by Arthur and have to adjust to the present day, as well as face threats from their past/present day like Aristophanes who end up a danger to modern day Atlantis.

Cassie from Route 666 would be criss-crossing the US doing Supernatural better than the Winchesters could ever.

Solusandra and Lindy from Solus are running around the universe scaring the shit out of the New Gods just by virtue of them having no idea who or what Solusandra is or what she’s really capable of.

The First could all be various New Gods: Pyrem, Trenin, Yala, Persha, etc would be from New Genesis, while Ingra, Braag, Tulity, Gannish and Seahn would be from Apokolips.

And lastly, Charon from Negation would be the mysterious threat from the Anti-matter universe who kidnaps various DC heroes to test them and the potential threat his armies face in the DC universe....among them, the various Negation characters like Obregon Kaine, Evinlea, Javi, Iress, Corrin, Matua, Mercer Drake, Westin and Shassa.
