Summary
To what lengths will fate go to correct a cosmic wrong?
Xena wasn't supposed to die. Not there, not at that time, not like that. Her death was all wrong. And so when Gabrielle makes a thoughtless wish in the midst of her grief, asking that she'd never met Xena, fate itself seizes on her words -- and grants her the wish.
Back to square one, only the moment where Xena and Gabrielle would have met, never happens. There is no raid on Potidaea; Xena never meets Gabrielle. But fate will have what fate wants. They will meet, differently this time, but they will, without a doubt, meet. And what follows, well...it's an interesting one, to be sure.

Summary
“You can sleep over there,” Xena said, tossing Gabrielle a heavy fur. Gabrielle didn’t expect it to hit her so hard in the face. Regardless, she stood to lay it out for herself on the far side of the fire. A little thrill shot through her when her shy smile was returned by Xena.

Summary
Xena is a high-ranking military strategist in a matriarchal tribe, desiring a chance to settle down. Just as her life starts to calm, the threat of war emerges, pulling her back into the fray.
When a strange illness and disputes among the Scythian tribes arise, a desperate king fears for his son's safety. He makes Xena an offer: she must protect and mentor his son, and in exchange, he will guarantee the safety of her tribes. Although she is furious, she realizes she cannot refuse—if the heir dies, her people will be next. Upon her arrival to meet the prince, she is introduced to a group of advisors and tutors. Among them is Gabrielle, whom Xena recognizes as the young girl she saved from slave traders over ten years ago.
Together, they must navigate the complexities of raising a royal child and their own unusual partnership.Bookmarked by JB22

Summary
Was Night City a dreadful city? No, this city is the most accurate representation of Hell. Between health, medical, and ecological disasters, suffering is the root of life. But if its citizens feel bad, they can't even imagine what life is like for the residents of the Backstage.
V-07 is the most resilient subject in the V lineage. She has known nothing but white corridors, the Cage, the White Coats, and the Others since her first wake.
Judy Alvarez is a lonely, alcoholic woman, in the prey of a cigarette addiction after a serie of traumas in her life that could almost kill her. Instead, she drowns slowly and painfully. Until someone special will change this infernal spiral of sadness.
Night Corp is not known for its ethics or publicity. From the top of their tower, the Blue Eyes watch. What they didn't realize was that they were creating their own destruction. But what if a random woman in the streets could change that darkened heart ?
Okay I'm honest this story is there to make me feel better when I feel down, by making the characters I love go through the most horrible things. I'm a psychopath you can say it. I say it again but this story IS VERY DARK AND DOESN'T END WELL

Summary
Gabrielle is Alexander’s advisor, strategist, and longtime childhood friend. Xena is the undefeated warrior standing between him and Thrace. To conquer her, Gabrielle must learn her tactics, but the more she studies Xena, the more she discovers there’s more to the woman than strategy alone. Lessons in war become lessons in understanding…and perhaps something far more personal.

Summary
He's still not entirely sure how they ended up here. No, actually, that's not true, he knows exactly how they ended up here. His girlfriend had a dream about having a threesome and now he's sitting with her at a bar and trying to figure out how to ask the hot brunette down the end to join them for a night.
He's not expecting this to go well. Then again, he never expected to be an SDN dispatcher, to reunite with Chase, to defeat Shroud, or to have a girlfriend. So... maybe this'll go better than expected.
AKA the one where Courtney and Robert ask Mandy to have a threesome without knowing she's Blonde Blazer.

Summary
"You're burning up, Robert," her voice is dripping with concern and it almost makes him feel bad for indirectly pushing this onto her by just being in her general vicinity. "How long have you been feeling like this?"
He waves his hand around flippantly and shrugs but his attempt at being non-chalant probably doesn't come across too well. "Just this morning–"—

Summary
The battle with Shroud had left Robert battered and bruised, but for the first time, he wasn't recovering in the solitary dark confines of his 'minimalist' apartment. Instead, Mandy’s apartment offered a sanctuary he didn't know he was starving for: warmth, safety, and the only person who saw beneath the Mecha Man suit in the way that she did. A home.
For too long, they had drifted around one another in a gravity well of unspoken tension—partners in the field, pointedly focused, but incapable of slowing the tide that burned between them. But tonight, amidst the glow of the television and a half-finished bottle of wine, that orbit finally decays. A cynical debate over a reality show dating finale turns into a mirror for their own fears and insecurities, and the deflection stops.
Tonight, the superhero masks come off. What starts as tender triage transforms into a collision of raw honesty and undeniable heat. It is an affirmation of a love long overdue—a shift from "partners" to "us," sealed with a quiet question in the dark and the approval of a very sleepy dog.

Summary
The events of dispatch, as experienced by Mandy, AKA The Blonde Blazer. Some stuff we see onscreen, some we're only told about, and some stuff I just made up. Post Canon original story from Chapter 111 onwards.
I Love Blonde Blazer so much, and I'm so glad she wasn't some sort of twist villain. I kinda wished she had a bigger role in the plot, and was more central to the story, like Invisigal. So here we are.

There's a certain look in her eyes as she trails her hand up his upper arm and he can feel embers flickering to life in his stomach as her other hand slowly but firmly grips his collar.

Summary
“Vi?” she blurts. Her heartbeat only thumps harder as the panic sets because how—why was Vi here right now? It was almost like she’d—
She rakes her fingers through her hair, hoping it looks like she wasn’t up to anything but a quiet night on the couch and then before she can think any harder about it, she’s unlocking the deadbolt and then the chain and pulling the door open.
Vi leans cooly against the door jam, one arm resting above her head and the other holding a large, greasy bag of takeout. “Heya, Cupcake,” Vi greets with a wide smile.

Or, hormones are high (i.e. Caitlyn just might let Vi make her Juno).Bookmarked by JB22
