This story is a re-working of the season 4 episode "Crusader" told as if Najara was a raving alcoholic, (full of the Gin) and in denial about her feelings towards Gabrielle. It includes some slight subtext moments, but nothing at all graphic, and quite a bit of swearing from Najara. Hopefully, it's quite amusing....

Deeper Waters Than Most Think - Alexiares
Like many fanfic authors, I've always found Eponin very interesting... probably because RenPics never did get around to building up her character, apparently because the woman who played her disappeared from the acting industry after playing the role. I bet she's running a dojo somewhere, because she sure could do wild things with that staff. Anyway, this story gives a bit of a life story of Eponin, and explains a few details from other stories, although you don't have to read them to understand what's happening in this one.
