The Legacy of Callisto - Part Two: The Shadow of Sorrow Part One and Part Two by Stayce [Callisto/Alt/Complete]
When she encounters two unusual travelers on the roads of Greece, Callisto is drawn toward the grand city of Sparta. With the Battle of Marathon still fresh in the city's memory, and the threat of a new Persian invasion looming, Callisto must take sides in a political battle to decide the fate of Sparta itself, while at the same time trying to uncover the mystery of a strange new religious cult and the true reasons behind her resurrection...

Revised version of Xena & Gabrielle: A Turn of Fate: Part 10 by Ahkiken [Classic/Alt/Incomplete]
A decision made by Xena on the bard's birthday sets the stage for untold events to unfold. Looking forward to settling down with Xena, Gabrielle's happiness is shelved when an old friend from the Warrior Princess past insist on their help to stop an evil daemon. Torn doing right by her soul mate, or sacrificing everything for the Greater Good, Xena is faced with tremendous obstacles. Not only has a wedge formed between her and Gabrielle, but unseen occurrences portend to tear the lovers asunder, as an even powerful enemy patiently awaits to play their hand. Not just threatening Xena's and Gabrielle's world, but another world that's equally important. The Realm of the Conqueror.

Revised version of The Conqueror & Ri: A Twist of Destiny: Part 10 by Ahkiken [Conqueror/Alt/Incomplete]
The Conqueror of the Realm, ruler of the Grecian Empire, has brought peace and prosperity to its lands after nine years of internal war. Now with new ideals happening in Rome, the Conqueror may have to put her thriving country in the woes of battle again. Ri, the Conqueror's hand-maiden, although she can't recall her childhood past, dreams of being a bard and renown around the known world. Almost getting the opportunity, she is at a pause, due to the fact that she feels she will be leaving something behind at the Corinthian castle. However, with a possible skirmish occuring, the Conqueror gives a farewell gift to Ri, whom she secretly loves, causing events to transpire, and forcing the Conqueror to come unknowingly in contact with a being from another world, who resembles her hand-maiden, Ri.

Signed copy of Still Life
Ebook of Still Life
Three ebook copies of Forget Me Not
And one ebook copy of either Hearts and Flowers Border, Puppy Love or See Right Through Me.
