The author tells the tale with nice insight into the dichotomy that Gabrielle's life has become, a struggle to be everything she can be, without losing the best parts of her self. Warrior and Bard. Friend and Lover. Cath, Bard's telling of the gentle intimacies of daily life and love is wonderful. A simple, well-told story, "Winged Goddess" is a welcome change from big battles and bad Xena/good Xena. There is an Amazon love triangle that is a refreshing plot idea. Xena and Gabrielle do a bit of *Dolly Levi* matchmaking in the Amazon village. The title of the story is a lovely "Story within a Story." Best of all, it has a happy ending:} I had a very nice time reading this story and so will you. Thanks to EM for sharing her find with me.

Xena & Gabrielle Series - Sam Ruskin

  In Her Dreams
This story takes place shortly after the episode Amphipolis Under Siege. Naturally, it is my own idea of what "could" happen and not part of the actual storyline from the series
 
  Telling Secrets
This is the sequel to In Her Dreams. It would definitely help to read that first
 
  After the Glitter
Well, I have been told this 'could' stand alone. However, it IS the third in a story that began with In Her Dreams. That was followed by Telling Secrets. It might help to read those first. Up to you. I will tell you that In Her Dreams was my very first Fan Fiction and was not posted for a long time because I thought no one would like it. You can judge for yourself if I was correct.
 
 

Together At Last
This is the sequel to After The Glitter, which is a sequel to In Her Dreams and Telling Secrets. It can be read alone but would probably be better if you read the others first.

Xena of Gaul - Xena's Little Bitch available in ebook format
This alternate time line story begins when Xena is a child slave and chronicles her unique adventures with Gabrielle. Described by readers as either "charming" or "disturbing," this unusual story is best described by reading its disclaimers.

Xena Stroll (A) - Anon2 available in ebook format
An entry in the christmas challenge

Xena Warrior Gardner: Destroyer of Nasturtiums - Xenamour
A humorous look at the everyday warrior in all of us.

Xena and the Flight of the Phoenix - Michael Dobler
Gabrielle recorded all of her adventures with Xena. These records became known as the Xena Scrolls. But what about the adventure neither one of them remembers? This is a bridge story with a Sci-Fi twist, set between S1 finale "Doctor in the House" and S2 opener "Orphan of War".

Xena and the Terror of Andros Island - Michael Dobler

Xena & Gabrielle Do the Dating Game - Darkone available in ebook format
Dating Game scenario with Gabrielle choosing between Callisto, Ephiny and Xena

The Xena/Gabrielle Series - Linda Crist
Begins after "The Ides of March" 4th season cliffhanger and is their ongoing adventures from that point. My Xena/Gabrielle series parts ways with the show after the 4th season. What that means is no pregnant warrior, no Eve, no 25-year ice cave time warp, no twilight of the gods, no new chakram, no angel Callisto, no Japan, no Akehmi, no battlin' bard (although Gab does fight in this series both with staff and with sais, she just isn't the killing machine she became in the 5th season). Cyrene, Toris, Amarice, Eponin, Gab's family, Eli, Hercules, Iolaus, and all the Greek gods are alive. Octavian is still a very young Roman leader. Joxer is dead because he died in my first story. Callisto is in Hell for breaking her deal with the devil to not physically harm Xena during "The Ides of March." I have made Xena's history in the Norse lands a part of her history in the series, but only up to the part where she locked up Grindle, so in this Xenaverse, Grindle is still locked up with the ring.

March The 16

Xena Warrior Princess - Laura Lynn Petersen available in ebook format
Very short story

Xena Warrior Princess - The Legend Continues - Gabster
This will start right from where the series ended, This story is about how Gabrielle deals with Xena's death and finding out she can bring her back to life. There is a little violence and a beheading of a certain bitch and little bad langue. If that offends you this might not be your story but that was the way life probably was back then. I hope this "reboot" comes if not by my words I certainly hope by some one good words. Let the Greater Good begin.
