Greek Mythology AU where Eddie is a sculptor working in Aphrodite’s temple. He was tasked with creating a series of statues depicting the goddess, her children, and six imaginary courtesans to decorate the gardens. The first few courtesan statues are undeniably beautiful, but they don’t even come close to the last one’s beauty. The people coming to the temple to leave sacrifices to gain Aphrodite’s favor, start to leave smaller offerings to the sixth courtesan as well. His statue is surrounded by flowers and fruits at all times, and he’s named ’Star-eyed Lover’ saying his beauty is equal to Aphrodite’s. The Goddess hears about the comparison and sees the offerings, that should be for her, she is not too happy and she goes down to destroy the statue under the cover of the night. In the garden tho she’s not alone, a man is sitting in front of the Star-eyed Lover, reading to the statue. Eddie, raised in a town close to Delphi, the temple of Apollo met all sorts of art and mastered some of it. One of these was the art of music, which he rediscovered thanks to the sculptor of the last courtesan, who became a muse for him. He dedicated all his songs to him, writing them in the garden of Aphrodite, where he sat day and night. Aphrodite, hearing the beautiful songs Eddie wrote, decided to reward his talent for creating such beautiful things. She breathed life into the statue. The Star-eyed Lover aka Steve embraces his maker and one true admirer and they live happily ever after.
