Aime E. Cupid's diary

Love-in-idleness
October 21st, 23:54. What a fable-ous (almost) birthday present! I think I’ve just made a breakthrough. I’m far from my goal, but I believe what I’ve accomplished today is a major step forward to reaching it. The goal? A love potion that actually works beyond surface level, something that creates love instead of simulates it.

I need to deconstruct love potions, understand love at its core, so I can find the formula for this perfect love potion. Even my own father, Eros, is skeptical of my efforts, but there must be more to love than things that can’t be explained.

I’m determined to explain it.

As for this breakthrough… many would say my sources are unconventional. (They were fairy unconventional.) But every now and then, I don’t see anything wrong with stepping out of line and finding answers from unorthodox methods.

Now I have yet to go off to the lab and prepare samples of observation and hexamination, so in the meantime, perhaps I can tell how it happened before we begin to figure out what happens next…
