Another installment of my Persephone fics. These really are just vanity pieces for me, writing exactly what I want, so I'd like to thank you all for indulging me:

Here's a link to the last installment in case anyone wants or needs a refresher. All of them can be found under the Persephone tag in descending order.

Title: Underneath the Drowning Water 3/?
Author: Samsom
Rating: R, for now, going into NC-17 eventually
Summary: Fighting her way back to sanity after Angelus’ attentions the previous spring, Cordelia now has to deal with his return from hell. AU of BtVS s3.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Notes: Part of my Persephone series of fics, this is part 3 of Book 2. The previous four ficlets that make up Book 1 have been organized under a tag and stored in my memories. These are under the same tags. My grateful thanks to damnskippytoo for being an amazing and patient beta.

Title: Underneath the Drowning Water
Author: Samsom
Rating: R going into NC-17 eventually
Summary: Fighting her way back to sanity after Angelus’ attentions the previous spring, Cordelia now has to deal with his return from hell. AU of BtVS s3.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Notes: Part of my Persephone series of fics, this is sort of Book 2. The previous four ficlets that make up Book 1 have been organized under a tag and stored in my memories for anyone who wants to go back and refresh their memory before starting this one. This is now a WiP – something I hate with a passion...but it can’t be helped. The previous fics were very dark; this one is a bit lighter but will eventually nose dive back into the same sort of darkness as the others.

Title: In Her Hands, Six Seeds of the Pomegranate
Summary: Cordelia is haunted. Set after my ficlet Persephone Lies Dreaming, the summer before BtVS s3. AU.
Pairing: C/Aus – ish.
Rating: R
Disclaimer: Not mine. They belong to Whedon, Fox, ME.
Notes: I wrote this last summer, I think, and forgot it was on my hard drive. A loose sequel to the other two Persephone ficlets, but not as dark. I used second person voice because it's the way it came out best.

So, I was listening to THC's Need to Destroy (that song Veruca seduced Oz with in s4 BtVS), and thinking about how, in Collatoral Lover, and *purely* by accident, I wrote that Cordelia bit Angelus's mouth and swallowed some of his blood, right before he bit her and drank hers. I don't do 'blood bonds', but I couldn't help myself with this teeny follow up. Hope ya'll can forgive me for indulging. :D
