Cupid and Psyche is one of the great love stories of the ancient world and it even has a happy ending. It's also a myth where a heroine must show her mettle and come back from the dead. The story has been deservedly popular with psychologists (it does, after all, deal with a human psyche) in the wake of Jung, like Erich Neumann and Marie-Louise von Franz, as well as C.S. Lewis

Aside from the classic mythology we all know, the Ancient Greeks had other stories that they continued to share, ones of tragic love. Lydia Evans had no idea what the fates had in store for her and just exactly how much it had to do with two certain half-bloods that quickly found their way into her heart. Can this so-called champion of free will outrun the tragedy that is written in her destiny? Or will her story be the next one to be passed down the line of hymns? Annabeth Chase x OC x Percy Jackson

[Highest Rank Achieved #251] Love. They say love is unconditional. It makes people feel happy, fulfillment and complete. But it also makes people feel sad, pain, and miserable. People say that it was the work of Cupid that makes us fall deeply in love for someone; when he strikes his arrows of love to his targets. It is his duty, isn't it? Do we know the reason why he's doing this? Is he happy seeing a couple fall in love on each other? Cupid, as we all know is the god of love/desire but we don't know why he is entitled the god of love. ©2016_MusicSavvy PNYBattle3 4th PlacerComplete

ARROW OF THE GODS
For over 500 years, Cupid has been the unseen force behind countless love stories, guiding hearts toward their destined matches. But for all the passion he has kindled, he has never felt love himself. To him, his gift is a curse-a cruel irony that allows him to spread love but never receive it. That is, until he meets her. A college student with an unshakable fascination for him, she sees past the legend and falls for the lonely soul beneath. Her devotion is unwavering, her love deep and undeniable. But Cupid, jaded by centuries of solitude, cannot believe that love-true, boundless love-could ever be meant for him. Doubt keeps him at a distance, his heart shackled by fear. Yet, slowly, her persistence chips away at the walls he has built. And when he finally recognizes the truth-that she loves him not for what he does, but for who he is-there is no force in the universe strong enough to keep them apart. A tale of fate, vulnerability, and the power of love, Arrow of the Gods is a story of a god who spent centuries creating love-only to find it in the most unexpected place.Complete

Cupid and Psyche |Lesbian Version|
Once there was a king and a queen with three lovely daughters. The youngest, Psyche, was so beautiful, so fair of face and form that she was revered throughout the land, and the people of her kingdom reached out to touch her as she passed. No suitors dared to cross her doorstep. So highly was she worshiped that Psyche was deeply lonely. Her beauty became legend, far and wide, and it was not long before words reached the ears of Venus. Tales of the young princess enraged the jealous goddess, and she made plans to dispose of her. Venus called upon her own daughter, Cupid to do her bidding. It was meant to be a quick mission except Cupid did not expect to find herself entranced by the same passion she inflicted on others. |Lesbian retelling of the Roman Mythology|Complete
