Up In Our Bedroom After The War

Summary:

A re=telling of the Eros and Psyche myth as told with my characters, Chase and Kylie. I am going to be referencing a few songs I love that I might use as the titles. Especially songs by the Canadian band stars.

I've always been fascinated with this myth and have been messing around with it since I was in high school so I hope this works out well! It's not going to be clean but at least it will be up!

Chapter 1: Once upon a time

Chapter Text

For the most part we remember Greek myths for their mystic explanations of why the universe it and tragic endings. The story of Eros and Psyche is a beloved exception to these for being one of the few Greek myths with a happy ending and, at least in my opinion, an overall good outlook.

This story begins, once upon a time with the task of Eros, the god of love, passion and desire to curse a princess named Psyche to fall in love with a hideous creature on behalf of scorned Aphrodite, his mother. Little was he to know that this task would become the beginning of one of the most famous love stories of all time.

But as we cannot be sure of what the gods themselves were up to, I introduce my character, Chase, to light up the awaiting stage and begin our story.
