December 2020 Archives   28 December 2020 Xena Fanfic - From The XIPPY Archives - 28 December 2020 It's an LJ Maas Conquerer special The Conqueror Series - Tale One - Journey's End by LJ Maas I'm not big on the Ruler of the Known World but LJ converted me. This is unbelievably good. Xena is Lord, Conqueror of Greece, but she is almost forty-five years old when she meets the slave, Gabrielle. The little slave girl turns the hardened warrior's life upside down. EXCELLENT storytelling . http://www.ausxip.com/fanfiction/conqueror/journeys_end1.htmlThe Conqueror Series - Tale Two - The Petal of the Rose by LJ Maas The much-anticipated sequel to Journey's End. I love this conqueror and her soon to be Queen. The arrival of Solan, Xena's son, brings new problems for the Lord Conqueror and the now free slave. This is one of the best stories set in the Conqueror genre that I've read. Don't miss this one. http://www.ausxip.com/fanfiction/conqueror/rose1.html     28 December 2020 Enhanced Gabrielle Screencapture by Paul Rabogliatti Paul Rabogliatti has been creating some incredibly beautiful Gabrielle screencaptures and I asked him if I could crosspost them.

Wishing everyone a Safe Christmas. The following is Little Xena and Gabrielle from Lucia!     8 December 2020 Xena Fanfic - From The XIPPY Archives - 08 December 2020 Blood Bond by D This is an incredible epic love story - set after the events of FIN. It's the story of a quest, of longing, of a desire to find Xena and Xena's quest to find Gabrielle. A magnificent story, well written that will keep you riveted to your seat (or in my case with my airline seatbelt fastened securely and the chair in the reclining position). We follow Gabrielle's journey as well as Xena's as they try and reunite. D has interwoven history throughout this story, which for me as a history nut was incredible. Sit back and enjoy; this is a looooong story but worth it! http://www.ausxip.com/fanfiction/bard-d/blood-bond1.htm     7 December 2020 Xena Fanfic - From The XIPPY Archives - 07 December 2020 Blind Faith Restored by Zzelami Way back in the second season there was an episode called Blind Faith - Xena is blinded in a fight and Gabrielle is taken to be the queen of a dead king. It was a fantastic episode reminiscent of many fanfic stories. The ending I thought needed something and Zzelami produced what I thought was the perfect ending to this episode. It's funny but yet very tender and the love that Xena and Gabrielle share shone through. http://ausxip.com/fanfiction/b/blindfaith.html Blind Faith Revisited by Mikki Hibbens This story is set after one of my favorite episodes, Blind Faith. Mikki does an excellent job in showing the love Xena and Gabrielle share. An excellent read and a follow up to a beautiful episode. http://www.academyofbards.org/fanfic/m/mikki_blindfaith.html     3 December 2020 Xena Fanfic - From The XIPPY Archives - 03 December 2020 Beyond Sex by Della Street Well, this little story will lift your spirits! Our gals are beyond sex or so Mr. Tapert and Co tell us. So Gabrielle tells Xena that their relationship goes beyond sex and they don't need it. Well Xena has other ideas! http://www.altfic.com/subtextfic/Xena/della/beyondsex.htm Blessing in Disguise by Lady Catherine A first-time story that starts off with Xena reverting back to her warlord persona to protect Gabrielle from a warlord from her past. A little on the brutal side for Gabrielle as she endures some rough treatment but realizes that Xena is only trying to protect her. Very nicely written. http://www.academyofbards.org/amazontrails/xena/blessing.htm     1 December 2020 Xena Fanfic - From The XIPPY Archives - 01 December 2020 Bargain Hunting by Della Street This is one of the funniest stories I have read. Xena goes to see a slave owner about a slave...a blond, green-eyed slave that is rather excitable! I won't say anymore because it's got to be read to be appreciated. A lighter side to Xena: Warrior Princess. http://www.altfic.com/subtextfic/Xena/della/bargainhunting.htm Between a Breath and a Heartbeat by Bel-wah This is set between the time Xena after she hits Gabrielle with the chakram and before she convinces Aphrodite to take her to Mount Olympus to confront the gods. A moment in time where Xena realizes that till the end, she is a warrior and will fight to the end for those she loves. http://ausxip.com/fanfic9/betweenabreath.html     Read More Archives
