Sooo what about Eros!Karl?

Eros is the Greek version of Cupid — he was Aphrodite's son (in some versions), and his arrows caused love (gold ones). In this AU specifically — love for the first person you see.

Karl was supposed to shoot Ethan so he'd see Mia and their falling-apart marriage would be saved. But things didn't go as planned — Ethan was holding Rose, and it was her he saw before he turned around.

It turned out that Ethan is special and can see Karl in his divine form. And both idiots initially thought that because of the arrow, Ethan must fall in love with Karl.

Heisenberg only figured out later that the arrow's effect landed on Rose, not him. But it's not like he has to tell Ethan that right away, right?
