IN HER DREAMS The first in a new series, this tale is set after the episode AMPHIPOLIS UNDER SIEGE and finds Ares trying a particularly despicable new method of revenge on the Warrior Princess. As he's about to learn, however, threatening a certain bard is the quickest way to make Xena deadlier than she already is normally. Nice characterization of the warrior here in ULTRA protective mode. [See the sequel TELLING SECRETS] - 3 pgs., 8/15/00 http://www.merwolf.com/academy/fanfic/s/samruskin_inherdreams.html - XGF 3 - 2/4/07 TELLING SECRETS This sequel to IN HER DREAMS opens with an especially tender moment as Gabrielle bonds with Eve and then does a little bonding with Eve's mom only to be interrupted by a couple of Olympians anxious to have them expedite that "bonding" process ;-) Sam once again paints a charming portrayal here of two long-time friends moving toward a new stage in their relationship. Another entertaining read in the series. [See the sequel AFTER THE GLITTER] - 5 pgs., 8/15/00 http://www.merwolf.com/academy/fanfic/s/samruskin_telling.html - XGF 3 - 2/4/07 AFTER THE GLITTER In the sequel to TELLING SECRETS, the warrior and bard finally start to explore their passion for one another only traveling with a toddler doesn't make that easy.

What could be better? Right? Not necessarily. [This was originally written as part of a Bard's Challenge at the Bards' Village. http://www.merwolf.com/academy/fanfic/s/samruskin_purebliss.html STARGAZING SOULMATES One of those wonderful campfire scenes. You know the ones. The quiet, chatting, stargazing ones. http://www.merwolf.com/academy/fanfic/s/samruskin_stargazing.html

EGYPTIAN PROPHECY Summoned to Egypt at the request of Cleopatra, Xena and Gabrielle set sail on the Royal ship.

WHAT THEY DON'T SEE A sweet little interlude set during the events in THE CONVERT which has the warrior and bard releasing some of the recent tension between them. - 3 pgs., 6/5/99 http://xenafiction.net/scrolls/seana_james_wtds.hts - XGF 3 - 22/11/05 PUREST LOVE The story was prompted by some "gaps" in the story "Chakram" and other episodes and began as a PWP, but, as with life, it got complicated. It's my take on Xena's and Gabrielle's occasionally mystifying pushme/pullyou relationship. It does contain spoilers for several episodes, but it's complete in and of itself. http://www.merwolf.com/academy/fanfic/s/seanajames_purestlove.html - XGF 3 - 17/12/05

WHEN SHE AWAKENS A sensual little tale that finds a warrior being utterly seduced by her "sleeping" bard. Romantic piece emphasizing the connection both physical and emotional between our two leads. Very nice. - 5 pgs., 8/19/01 http://amazontrails.com/xena/whensheawakens.htm - XGF 3 - 17/11/05

BLONDES WEAR LEATHER TOO There are two scrolls for each part of the series. One is from Xena's point of view, the other is from Gabrielle's point of view. One of the authors believes Xena and Gabrielle were lovers on the show. The other doesn't, but through intense email communications with her partner, has discovered that she is a 100% genuine Lawlessbian, that is...she's very straight, but if Lucy were to make her an offer...she'd convert in a minute. Figure that one out! Can you figure out which is which? http://ils.merwolf.com/academy/fanfic/s/shanakye_xxxscrolls8.html - XGF 3 - 11/11/07

A BARD IN THE HAND An acquaintance from Xena's past unknowingly helps to precipitate a decision on the bard's part when a new friend offers to help her learn how Xena truly feels about her. Featuring some very amusing moments, this story is fun, romantic and sweet. - 11 pgs., 4/20/98 http://www.amazontrails.com/xena/bard.htm - XGF 3 - 20/4/04 DECEPTION MOST WONDROUS From a new bard with lots of promise, this is a nicely original, clever story that has Xena and Gabrielle struggling with their as yet unspoken attraction for one another when they join a gang of female warriors as "Aetna" and her loving partner, "Eupie" to try to determine why these want an old acquaintance of Xena's dead. Funny and playful and devilishly flirtatious, Sharona's characterizations of our two heroines are straight out of that now classic episode A DAY IN THE LIFE. This is a story about real love blossoming amidst pale imitations. It's a romance that is sweet and passionate and amusingly realistic all at once. DO NOT MISS!

REMEMBER, NEVER TO FORGET Remember, Never to Forget - takes place in the earlier days of X & G relationship, back when their emotions and loves were still new and uncharted. While on their way to the Amazons ( Ephiny, Eponin and company) to try to explain the whole, Gabrielle didn't die she just fell in a nitch thing, (Don't get me started on this faux pas - but for my own personal explanation, look to my story Reunion which takes place immediately following Adventure in the Sin Trade.) Well on their way to the Amazons, one thing leads to another and that leads to .... well you know. Anyways,our two heroes separate and are to meet up at the Amazons, but Xena doesn't show up. Matter of fact, she down right disappears and no one not even the Gods can find her. Leaving a distraught Gabrielle to wonder, "where can you go, that even the Gods can't find you?" The answer is an emotional tale of torment and regret, as the young bard from Poteidaia tries to deal with reliving her past once more with a stranger. http://merwolf.com/academy/fanfic/s/sinful_remember1.html REUNIONS What can I say about a story that blew me away...well it blew me away. Sinful written a well crafted story of what A Family Affair SHOULD have been. It's brilliant. We see the return of Hope and her offspring and deal with the Amazons and their anger towards Xena. A wonderful story - I can't praise it enough. Highly recommended. http://ausxip.com/fanfiction/r/reunions1.html

Stock up on that Amazon ice before tackling this one and while you're out picking that up stop by the convenience store and buy some energy bars...you're gonna need them! ;-) Rie's new one is based on a very simple premise - the warrior and bard have a little altercation. Then they decide to make up...and they make up...and make up...and make up...and just when you think they've made up - for good measure...they make up AGAIN! >:) No doubt about our girls' stamina after this...or flexibility for that matter :) Seriously though - a wonderfully passionate, tender, beautiful romantic piece, tiring too but I digress ;-) MUCH better than that big bad rift.

THE BEST GIFT Actually written by MomBard's daughter Sue, this heartwarming Solstice tale opens with Gabrielle in a rather melancholy mood - content to simply listen outside of Cyrene's inn as her partner spends time with her family. It's a situation that doesn't last for long as a certain Warrior Princess goes in search of her missing bard determined to show her just what she means to her and what she's come to mean to the rest of her family. Sue handles the characterizations here beautifully, portraying Gabrielle as a very sensitive young woman deeply touched by the overwhelming devotion she feels for her partner and the sense of belonging Xena and her family are inspiring in her. The warrior for her part is playful and loving and happy for once. Really nice combination in a little gem of a story that is indeed a gift. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! [See the sequel THE BEST GIFT 2: THE GIFT OF LOVE] - 6 pgs., 2/7/00 http://xenafiction.net/scrolls/mombard_tbg.hts THE BEST GIFT 2 : THE GIFT OF LOVE In this sequel to her first holiday offering, THE BEST GIFT, Susan turns the tables a bit as this time, 26 years later, it's the Warrior Princess that is feeling a little melancholy remembering her life with her bard when said bard entices her back into the warmth of a family gathering and then convinces her to open up those Solstice presents a little early ;-) Sweet story with a reaffirming, loving portrayal of a relationship which just seems to be getting stronger with time.

SIZZLING little tale that is GUARANTEED to shock you there for a minute - trust me on that - SHOCK - big shock...HUGE shock - ultimately a relatively harmless shock - but GODS WHAT A SHOCK!!!

Revolving around the fierce passions battlelust can inspire, this story has a poignant grittiness to it that will hit you right in the guts. It is likely not everyone's cup of tea but it is certainly a powerful cup at that. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! [Note: story features rough language.] - 3 pgs., 7/16/98 http://ausxip.com/fanfic3/makeme.html

I, CONQUEROR Oh boy what a ride! I, Conqueoror is quite a tale of Gabrielle waking up to find that she is not where she is supposed to be and her loving warrior is not the Xena she knows. She is faced with Xena, the Mighty Conqueror, with a heart that is black and merciless. SwordnQuil weaves a tale that has become one of my favourites. Sit back and enjoy a fantastic read from a very gifted bard. http://ausxip.com/fanfiction/i/i_conqueror.html
