Classic fandom

larryhammerI used to claim I could imagine slashing everyone in Greek mythology* except Hades -- he's just too ... stolid. Saturnine. Persephone's a bit of a stretch -- I can conceive of slashing her with Psyche, but it'd be too dark and twisted for me to do it justice. In fact, I couldn't really see Hades and Persephone with anyone but each other. Used to. Then this weekend, a plot bunny came scratching at the door: Hades as the jealous older husband, Persephone as the bored young wife, Hermes as the delivery man. <cue '70s porn soundtrack>
If I understand fandom correctly, I think this means Hades+Persephone is no longer my mythology OTP. That, in fact, I don't have one.**
What's your OTP of mythology? (Greek or otherwise.)
* Which is, more or less, what I'm doing with with the series of sex farces.
** Don't talk to me about Eros+Psyche -- she's totally getting it on with Aphrodite, I'm telling ya. Or rather, had been -- that's why Aphrodite's so jealous. Creepy psychosexual dymanics, those three.
