Based on the Ancient Greek Myth of Psyche and Eros.
Phalces was born gorgeous. This may seem like a blessing, but if the hundreds of guys and girls gathered around his window and constant bodyguards wherever he went told you anything, it is more of a curse. Because he was a prince, no one dared to ask him out, and because he was gorgeous, everyone stood at a distance to watch him admiringly. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't live a normal life. On a last attempt to change his fate, he decided to seek assistance from the Oracle of Delphi. But instead, the Oracle proclaims that he will get married to the most wickedest beast of all. Things turn to bad to worse when a envious god wreaks havoc. What is a lonely prince to do?

Temple of two
There is a whisper of a Greek legend-the tale of Icarus, a man who fashioned wings from delicate wax and brilliant feathers. With these, he dared to become the first human to ever taste the freedom of the sky. He flew. And as he soared, he saw the Sun-not as a distant star, but as a blinding, glorious presence. The man who had become the first to see the sun this close fell in love with it, utterly unaware of his own tragic destiny. It was a destiny that, in its cruel symmetry, always makes the impossible fall in love with possibility. He flew higher still, intoxicated by the light, until the Sun's fierce, passionate heat began to melt the wax binding his feathers. He plunged, a beautiful and broken spectacle, from the sky. But here is the truth, the bitter twist: I can't blame the Sun for his death. It was the wax that betrayed him, melting under a heat that is, after all, simply common to everything. And so it is with Pranvijay's love for Mehboob. His devotion became his wax wings, allowing him to fly too close to a person-a light-that was simply available to all. Mehboob's warmth was not meant just for him, and in his singular pursuit, Pranvijay became consumed. It wasn't Pranvijay who was flawed; it was the sheer, destructive magnitude of his love that led to his fall.Complete
Hades and Persephone
Persephone has already been kidnapped by Hades, her unwanted and unexpected suitor. Demeter has already cast a famine on all the humans in her grief. Hades struggles to win Persephone over...but perhaps Persephone has always been meant to be with him, and she wasn't an innocent as she was thought she was... Moderate explicit parts. *not finished* "Look, Persephone, you're a reasonable Goddess, more reasonable than most. You have to understand I was not born the Lord of the Underworld. The title was appointed to me because I was the unlucky one. My job is just as important as my brother's jobs. I wasn't selected because of my cruel ways but now because of the way people speak of me and fear me now I am the cruel one whether or not I like it. Do you honesty think it is fair that it should work that way? People take one look at me and assume I'm the devil." Persephone crouches back in her seat. I realize I am standing and seat myself, trying to calm myself. "Do you honestly think that being in charge of the dead and judging them makes me undeserving of love, of a wife? I'm doomed to be exiled down here. I don't even have the sun to keep me warm, Persephone. You're all the sun I have..." *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.Complete
Gold Fever (M×M) ✔
"We caused the end of the world. Turns out it's easier than you might think it is. All you need is a group of eco anarchists and an ounce of magic, and the world goes down in a poof." After another manic episode, Phoenix gets written off his parents' will, and he's trying to find a reason to keep living. Causing the end of the world and being the only one who can save the world wasn't exactly what he had in mind. Phoenix wasn't meant to have magical abilities, and he most definitely shouldn't have been able to make all the money in the world disappear just by thinking about it. To make matters worse, it came with a minor side effect: a disease called Gold fever. In other words, people started to turn into gold. Over the course of a single day, Phoenix becomes the most hated person in the world. As the economy collapses around them, only three of his friends are willing to stay by his side. Their job is to keep Phoenix alive while he tries to make money reappear and find a cure to Gold fever. Which turns out to be more challenging than they thought, as they find out someone is tailing Phoenix with the intention to kill.Complete
