X: Venus has a Flair for the Dramatic (Cupid & Psyche Part One)

Cupid and Psyche, the timeless tale of lies, horrible relatives, and the pettiness of the gods. Venus can't handle other beautiful women and Psyche's life is just not ideal, but that won't last long.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
