Muse got temporarily wordy on the way to work. She loves the depressing stuff.
Iblame thank
natalexx for making head!Leoben way too believable in When He Followed Her Home. Also, I don't remember where I first saw Kara compared to Persephone, but it's an awesome comparison.
Four months in the underworld. She can't remember if Persephone stayed longer. They both came back but Kara didn't come back alone. He's a shade whom no one else acknowledges but she hears him, she sees him. Lord of the dead.
She had swallowed the pomegranate seeds and would have to return to the underworld. How many seeds, how long in the underworld? She swallowed the lie--this is your daughter.
Or maybe she had fed him seeds--two kisses and two times a lie that he willingly believed. But it's not a lie now because all the other loves in her life had burned into ash even before she went into the underworld with him.
When Sam kisses her she feels his warm skin and wonders how long before he becomes a statue to grace the tomb of their marriage.
Hades came up from the underworld, following her now because of the seeds he swallowed, the seeds she gave him. He's always there and Demeter doesn't care; mother pushes her toward him and it's all she deserves, all she can be is a consort to death.
Drown or burn she's still in the underworld.

yes, head!Leoben. Heh. (If only he were canon.)
You mean he isn't? *smiles*

Come to think of it there may be a whole tragedy mask comparison with sassy!Kara waiting to be written. You could always try poking the muse with a pointy stick and seeing what she comes up with.

Muse is not interested in sassy!Kara at this time, she prefers depressed Kara.
