AN: Not the Rachel/Apollo I told some people it would be. But that will happen. I just got sidetracked. It's about Oracles, at least. Also, thanks to TwIx27 for pointing out that I forgot to use 'awesome' again. I made a conscious effort this time. Earns the T rating for implied... tomfoolery at the end.
Nothing New Under the Sun
Resist
There's an old myth that Apollo falls in love with all of his Oracles.
And, well, it's kinda pretty much… true.
Can anyone blame him, though? Beautiful maidens (no, seriously, it was a requirement that they be beautiful) who usually have awesome personalities (because of their eccentricities, no doubt) and are completely devoted to him. Or, well, to being the Oracle of Delphi. But really, it's the same thing, isn't it?
Plus there's the whole forbidden fruit thing— if he can't have it, he can't resist.
But Apollo has found some creative ways of bending the rules over the years.
