Fandom: Yuri!!! on Ice Rating: Teen (for many swears, and minor violence) Description:
Yuuri is the God of Death and Lord of the Underworld, and has established and maintained a tentative peace after a long war with the gods of the Overworld. He thought he’d been doing an okay job, but apparently it wasn’t enough, just like everything he tries to do. Now the Lord of the Overworld demands Yuuri marry one of their gods as proof of each side’s commitment. All in all, it might not be such a bad situation—Yuuri’s always admired Victor, the God of Spring, from a distance.
Problem is, Victor would rather have Yuuri dead than stay his husband. In fact, Victor would just like Yuuri dead in general.
AKA the weird Hades and Persephone retelling (not Greek world building tho) that I couldn’t help but writing.

Excerpt:
When Yuuri was born, the war between the Overworld and Underworld hadn’t ended, but the fighting had entered a tentative calm. His mother used to guess that was the reason that both life and death were so strong in him. Whether or not she seriously thought that was the reason or was simply teasing, Yuuri never knew—he never asked. She and his father encouraged the growth of both, insisting that it must be a sign from the cosmos that he was meant to wield both.
He was not.
Everyone insisted that he was so powerful, but he struggled to even grasp his own power, much less use it. Minako helped, a lot. Her lessons and her tonics helped him control his helplessness, but it didn’t cure him. There wasn’t any cure.

playboy bunny
a rich upper class woman who murdered her husband
a newsboy
a sailor
a ghost from the titanic
ewan mcgregor’s character in moulin rouge
that one black haired woman from the musical chicago
a Winner, in which he was forced to attend a party thrown by someone he didn’t like and who had probably offended him, so he just went around with all his medals on him and kept pulling medals out of pockets like a card trick
satine from moulin rouge
ken from barbie
a catboy that was only a catboy because someone told him he just couldnt go to a party wearing a series of harnesses and a collar so he slapped some cat ears on his head and went
he forgot to bring a costume once but his make up and the lighting and his clothes made him look so ethereal everyone just assumed he was dressed as a modern fae or something
