Fate is a weird thing. It confuses the fuck out of you. Yet, you yearn for it. For the approval of the world, for your choices. You yearn for proof that what you’ve chosen is right, that what you’re doing is right. You yearn, yearn and yearn, and yet, fate punches you in the face.
But what if fate was wrong? What if you know you’re meant to be deep down but fate doesn’t allow it? Do you let it take the wheel, or do you say ‘fuck it’ and do whatever you wish to?

A story of soulmates who the world keeps pulling apart again and again and how they face it, told in 8 encounters.
written for Yeonkai ficfest Round 2!!
It’s a magical day,
Aphrodite lays,
By the pond that once was a woman;
So kind, so bright.
The magical pond says,
“Are you up for a swim, my beautiful boy?”
Her sparkling waters, tempting as ever;
“But beware, for souls are lost in this very pond.”
Aphrodite sighs,
One day when all her love is gone, perhaps she’ll remember.
“Hold on to the lotus and let go of your soul
If you are brave as they claim.”
I promise it'll all make sense.
