I actually recommend everyone write for a rarepair once because it completely changes your relationship with fandom. Engagement stops being numbers and starts being names. You know who's going to show up. You recognize usernames. Someone disappears for a while and then comes back and you're like “OH MY GOD WELCOME HOME.” It's incredibly wholesome. It is also deeply inconvenient when all six of you simultaneously get writer's block-

love island should introduce a "scheming eunuch" islander who is like a smart and completely asexual islander exempt from being kicked off or being made to participate in any challenges and they're just there to provide advice and be a sort of sounding board for the other islanders when they need a disinterested party to talk things through with. but the scheming eunuch has secret goals unbeknownst to anyone e.g. a cash prize for talking a certain couple into breaking up etc.

Intricate-throned undying Aphrodite, snare-weaving child of Zeus, I beg of you, do not break my heart with longing or sorrow, o queen, but come here, if ever before hearing my cries from afar you listened, and leaving your father’s house you came, yoking your chariot of gold; and beautiful they bore you, swift sparrows across dark earth, whirling quick-beating wings, from heaven through mid-sky; suddenly they arrived; and you, blessed one, a smile on your immortal face, asked what I had suffered this time, and why again I called you and what I wished most dearly to happen in my tormented heart; “Whom should I persuade, contriving that she respond to your love? Who, Sappho, wrongs you? For if she flees you, soon she will pursue, and if she rejects your gifts, yet she will give them, and if she does not love you, soon she will love you, even unwillingly.” Come to me again now, and free me from unbearable distress, and as much as my heart longs to accomplish, make it so, and you yourself battle at my side.

-Sappho (Lobel-Page 1)

Persephone and Demeter

Winter comes

Not enough variations focus on the story of Demeter and Perseophone as one of loss. When everything dies around grief and how pomegranates resemble blood. How she died because a man loved her too much. No god can justify that to a mother
