Ancient Cinderella, with Less Singing & More Violence (Cupid & Psyche Part Three)

Psyche is given maniacal tasks to prove herself to Venus, she makes some mistakes and tries to make even bigger ones. But surprise surprise, there's a man to save the day!

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.
