Summary
The great hero Aziraphale, fresh off his encounter with the Nemean Lion, is sent on his second quest: slaying the Lernean Hydra. But things are not quite as they appear. The Hydra is nowhere near as monstrous as the rumours report, the hero not quite as bloodthirsty, and the Nemean Lion enjoys head scritches far more than tearing apart passersby…
Chapter 3: Some time after reaching an Arrangement with the purported Hydra, Aziraphale is sent to deal with the Stymphalian birds. He has no ideas, until Crowley offers a bit of advice and a helping hand...

Summary
Psyche is chosen to be a weapon. A weapon made out of inhumanly beauty. Trapped in the inner palace of her parents’ kingdom there is no escaping. It is her fate. Her duty as princess.
Eros is lost. Having no place in a world he has power over. All he wants is to escape immortal drama and heal his wounds from his childhood.
When fate throws them together and Eros can’t reveal himself out of fear, Psyche makes a mistakes and breaks his newfound trust and has to fight to get it back. Fight a person who hates her with a passion. Matching her domain.
Will Eros and Psyche be strong enough to fight their battles together and let the world see behind their beautiful facade.
////
‘Think about my next words, girl. Why is it your duty? And why should you prioritise that over your wishes? Just because they do it? Shouldn’t that only be a reason to prioritise yourself?’ The voice sounded not satisfied, almost disappointed at the result.
Psyche was stunned. Her mind swirling with emotions and thoughts she had no way of expressing or even forming correctly. And then the voice was gone. The footsteps? Vanished. The quiet breathing? Disappeared. She stood up, almost hypnotised.

Summary
Women tend to draw the short straw when it comes to apples.
Eve bit into a gleaming green temptation and was swiftly banished from the garden of Eden without so much of a second thought or leaf to cover her nipples.
Snow White plucked a ruby red from the withered hand of a wicked stepmother, and ended up betrothed to a man who thought it okay to kiss her during a bout of 'eternal slumber’.
But thankfully, the tale of the Gardens of Hesperides is no Greek tragedy. It is, instead, at the very core of a great love story.

Summary
It was what drove us. The four of us.
“Please!” A scream echoed throughout the dead quiet of night amongst the trees. Our own piercing cries vibrated along the trees. Thundering hooves as large as a man’s head collided with the ground with such force it compared to an earthquake played a deathly symphony.
Ever since we were created some thousands of years ago by our once Master. A need so deep, so instinctual we cannot deny our need.
