ᴡɪɴᴛᴇʀ
① baby it's cold outside - you're stuck somewhere by heavy snowfall, whether it's a house, a hut or the spacious seats of your car.
② just a brisk walk - nothing like throwing on a heavy coat and going for a walk in sub-zero temperatures to clear your head.
③ season's greetings - whatever holiday you celebrate in your universe, it's probably a time for giving and sharing. think gifts, hearty get-togethers and warm drinks.
④ figure eight - you're going ice-skating, whether you like it or not. try not to look like a baby deer out there.
⑤ hot cocoa - you catch up with a friend and have a nice, heart-warming hot drink of some sort. cocoa, coffee, tea or cider - up to you!

sᴘʀɪɴɢ
① april showers - suddenly, rain! a shower appears out of nowhere and soaks you to the bone as april showers are wont to do.
② first bloom - the first flowers poke through the winter frost, and you take some to someone. whether in gratitude, well wishes or something more - well, that could depend on which ones you choose.
③ clean as a whistle - time to do spring cleaning! all the dust and cobwebs from your house, office or base need to go along with the rest of the mess, so - off to rummage through your memories.
④ king of the garden - flower crown. just... flower crown.
⑤ the botanist - try your hand at some gardening! start small with a pot plant if you don't know how to keep something alive yet, or go full-blown with a whole garden.

sᴜᴍᴍᴇʀ
① heatwave - it's been a very hot couple of weeks, and it's starting to get to you. when will this unusual weather end, and how will you cope?
② just a dip - summer is the perfect time to jump into the water - a pool, a creek or a river. relax in the water, have a swim or just cool down.
③ sweet treats - you're introducing or being introduced to a delicious new iced something.
④ getting my tan on - either you get sunburnt or you're doing a little better and tanning properly. on a towel or a chair, lounging in the sun, or too many hours on horseback on a hot day.
⑤ annual leave - it's been a long year and you're taking a brief holiday from work or life's pressures - preferably to somewhere warm, tropical and not in imminent danger.

ᴀᴜᴛᴜᴍɴ
① harvest festival - you either plan to go to or happen upon a local harvest festival. dancing, brews and good food makes for a good night out.
② reflections - the symbolic changing colours of the leaves makes you think back to the past year. what have you accomplished, and what feelings does that draw out from your introspection?
③ set up camp - the weather in autumn is well known for being picky, and a sudden turn means you have to set up camp or get back inside pretty quickly. have fun!
④ dinner for two (or more) - a lot of good food is coming in - the perfect time for you to put on, or have a feast put on for you. better brush up on those culinary skills...
⑤ oh, the horror - it's time for you to try scare the pants off someone with this sick new scary story you've heard - just at the right time for the annual spooky season.

[some book/movie mishmash-- come at!]

Down in the realm of Hades, it wasn't really obvious what time of year it was; it was the same no matter if it was spring or winter. The only difference, of course, was if Persephone was present or not, though honestly, Ganymede didn't expect to see either her or Hades so soon after she'd reunited with him.

Which was why it was most of a surprise when he was on the way back up after his one yearly visit to his parents - it was nice, to actually still be able to talk to them, however briefly it was, and he was grateful Hades had agreed. But well, he supposed it was different when you didn't ask to remove any spirits from his domain, just wanted to visit.

"Lady Persephone!" Changing his course slightly, Ganymede smirked briefly, amusement lighting his eyes. "I didn't expect to see you out here."

Sure, work didn't stop just because Persephone had returned, but husband and wife were good at carving out space for themselves... especially so soon after her return.

The Archives aren't a warm or hospitable place. It feels cold and empty, lonely (of course) with every movement echoing and every room seemingly too large for how many people are in it and too small to ever feel as if there's enough space.

It's not a comfortable place. It's not a pleasant place. At the moment, however, there is something rather uncharacteristic echoing through the rooms.

Singing.

Surprisingly pleasant, surprisingly resonant, on key. It's some sort of drinking song, being sung somewhere that seems to have a decent set of acoustics. And if one listens carefully, they can probably identify the singer.
