A/N: Under what circumstances could Maya (Aphrodite) and Kim (Hera) have a happy end? Also mentioned is Schuyler, who's Zeus.
"Fuck men."
"Yeah, who needs 'em, right?"
"Fuck men..."
The women sat on the dock, tossing pebbles into the sunset. Tears ran down Kim's face.
"What's wrong?"
Kim shook her head.
"Nothing..."
Maya leaned over, kissed her lover's forehead, wiped the glistening tears from her shadowy face. She knew what Kim was thinking.
"You don't have to feel bad. About us, I mean."
"Why not...? I'm no better than he is..."
Maya wrapped an arm around Kim's shoulders.
"You are better than him. This is about love, Kimmie, this isn't about random sex, this isn't about chauvinism and using women like toilet paper. This is love, Kim."
That wasn't quite enough, Maya knew. She didn't often like to play this card, but something about the moment made her happy to do so.
"And you know, it's just giving him a taste of his own medicine."
That garnered a real smile.
