    Summary

    “So serious,” Xena whispered. “I remember you smiling more.”
    Gabrielle bit her lip, trying to ignore the stinging pain in her chest.
    “That was before,” was all she could say.
    ---

    Starting during s05e02, Chakram, Gabrielle and Xena begin to deal with the tumultuous events of Ides of March and beyond.

    This and other stories in this series have chapters that start during episodes: I'll try and be as clear as I can about where and when.
    Note that future chapters (and stories) will go to some darker places. I'm writing Xena and Gabrielle as the flawed, wonderful, messy humans they are; they'll fight, they'll make up, there will be sex, occasional swearing, mistakes, tears, and joy.

    Series title is a quote from a Sappho translation.

    Summary

    Set during S4:E20 (Endgame). Xena is tasked with administering discipline to the headstrong Amarice for her insubordination to her new Queen, but Queen Gabrielle isn't sure how she feels about it. Xena goes to great lengths to show Gabrielle what remains sacrosanct between them. Contains copious amounts of spanking (con and non-con) and lots of emotional, hot sex between our favorite Ancient Greek ladies!

    ***
    She took and kissed my hand ceremonially, and then smiled broadly in that hungry, impish way that usually turned my insides to fire. Instead, I felt a prickle of irritation around my neck as I thought of Xena doing to Amarice what she had done to me. Was it nostalgia? Jealousy? What a stupid thing to be jealous of.
    “What is it, my little bard?” she asked, pulling me to stand sheepishly between her knees. I flushed deeper.
    “Just thinking about--I don’t...I don’t envy her,” I stammered. “I mean, how could I? But…oof!”
    “Don’t worry, Gabrielle,” she said, having pulled me down into her lap with gusto. I let my head fall on her shoulders, only to hear her low purr in my ear: “Some things are just for you. Some places are just for you.”

    Summary

    What if after 5x19 Looking Death in the Eyes, Eve was instead raised by the Amazons and the time jump wasn't 25 years? How would her life have turned out? What of her mothers, Xena and Gabrielle?

    This is a canon divergent take on the time jump that should have happened instead of what we got in the series.

    Summary

    This series provides intimate glimpses into the way Xena and Gabrielle’s relationship developed and evolved throughout the years. And because their relationship is complex, the works in this series will vary widely in tone. Just heed the tags and you should be fine.

    Sexual encounters of the gay kind will take place, but the focus is on the two of them dealing with their feelings, because they have so many of them and don’t necessarily talk about them.

    Each of the stories can be read without reading any of the others in the series, and you should be able to fold them into canon without causing any contradictions (I hope!).

    The individual stories will be published in random order, so don’t be confused when the numbering of the previously published works is updated every time a new story is published to account for their chronological order within this series and the show.

    Welcome to my headcanon. Pick and choose, or read it all. :)

    Summary

    "I’m just so glad that Gabrielle’s back, and with everything recently it’s just hit me that there’s no guarantee that she will be forever, and... and I just finally want to tell her that… that I love her.”

    His voice had gotten very small by the end as he stared down at his hands wringing his hat. Amarice’s peals of laughter made him look up indignantly, and something on his face - probably something incredibly intimidating - made her stop mid-laugh.

    “Oh,” she said, round-eyed. “You’re serious?”

    ---

    An oblivious Joxer seeks out Amarice's, Eli's, and Xena's advice on how best to finally confess his love for Gabrielle during 5x02, "Chakram". (I.e., what actually happened but in a world slightly less governed by the constraints of lesbian subtext.)

    Summary

    “You should speak of what burdens you, young Queen,” Chi’ah intoned. “Or it will begin to burn you.”
    Gabrielle shook as a sudden flash of rage shot through her. She didn’t bother to ask which hidden truth Chi’ah spoke of.
    “Even when saying it out loud would hurt the person I love?”
    Chi’ah met her angered gaze with calm resolve. “Love deserves truth.”

    ——-

    Beginning during episode s05e05, Them Bones, Them Bones, and then beyond to episode s05e09, Seeds of Faith.

    Being back among the northern Amazons brings back bleak memories for Xena; for Gabrielle, everything she’s trying to lock away under the surface is getting harder to contain. As time moves on and her anger and paranoia grows, Gabrielle finds herself falling into a very dark place.

    ——

    Ok, strap in - we’re expecting some turbulence! Gabrielle is going to behave a little out of character; I hope the previous stories in the series give enough context as to why. Bottling things up gets dangerous…
