I Know a Lack You've Got (Or, Shane Hollander Looks Back. He Was Always Going To.)
by babyurahauntedhaus
Shane wants to say, Hey, so, I looked up how to say ‘I love you’ in Russian on Google Translate and I’m pretty sure I recognized the sound. Ilya, he wants to say, you fucking idiot. You really thought you could just tell me you love me in a different language and get away with it? Like I wouldn’t
Lover tell me if you can
by FranticallyChaotic
Orpheus didn’t remember until the blood of his first killed filled his veins. He dropped the body and started screaming in agony, his past life flooded into him as his current life died. Eurydice tried keeping the sobs as quiet as she (he?) could. Clutching the red carnation as the teenage body Eury

No Promises
by QUestingQUail
"Everybody knows that walls have ears. Fewer people know that they have voices, too. Voices to whisper, to spread advice, rumors: tales of a girl who’d stolen from the king. A girl who had things from up above, who’d use them to help you remember. And if you asked the right questions, at the right t

After a thousand years, My Love.
by Alexander_The_greek_twink

I will look for you in death, and after. As long as my soul remains, it will seek yours wherever you may be.” After his death, Orpheus now i
Nooooo don't turn backkkkkkkkkkkkk oh noooooooo.........
by Stinkytoecore_idkX3
I LOVE DOOMED CHARACTERS!!!!!! I saw Hadestown in London maybe two years ago but I think about it often. It was the closest thing to magic I've ever seen. I think that there is no world in which Eurydice gets out of the underworld and there is no world in which Orpheus doesn't turn around. Lalal

Backspace

Orpheus is an indie musician who loses Eurydice, his girlfriend and creative partner, in a late-night accident. Broken by grief, he vanishes from the scene—only to reemerge a year later with an album titled with her name. It's haunting, brilliant, and viral. Every song is a memory. Then one night, a

Is that truly all she should be known for? And why is it always Orpheus and Eurydice, never Eurydice and Orpheus? AKA Orphia enters the Underworld for true love. (a retelling of the classic myth)

Echoes in the Underworld
by Maz08_MB
In the cold gray expanse of the Underworld, Orpheus and Euridice are reunited. But eternity is not the blissful reward he imagined; it is a different kind of cage.
