An adventure tale wherein a simple mission to free a valley from a slave warlord turns on one god's desire to reclaim what he once lost.

Why it's a Favorite:

An intriguing tale of the beginnings of the Xena/Ares relationship, this first story leaves you with a need to complete the reading of the trilogy. Excellent story telling!

Why it's a Favorite:

Unique twists throughout the story keep you reading. Though sometimes a sequel seems to "want" a little something that made the first story so interesting, this second story of the trilogy is every bit as well done as the first.

Ares muses on guppies and sharks.

Why it's a Favorite:

Written the style of an ancient bard's song, this tale of the final battle of the Warrior Princess is beautifully sung. Naturally, since she is the bard, it is told from Gabrielle's point of view. It's emotional; it's involving; it's not happy. Lexxie does dark very well.

Why it's a Favorite:

In this in depth look at Ares on the farm as he waits for that day when the Warrior Princess will stop by to see him, Lexxie shows the ex-God of War's thought process flawlessly right down to the humor you would expect Ares to show even to himself.

Gabrielle/Joxer songfic that was the result of too many Disney movies. Pure fluff.

Why it's a Favorite:

What's not to like about this thoroughly humorous romp in ancient Greece? Fireflys, a one hundred and fifty year old man, broken door knobs, a bunch of bungling bad guys, bad cooking, the King of Thieves somehow tied up in all this - a warrior princess' job is never done.

Why it's a Favorite:

Disney animations have a proven track record for romance with a happy ending. So what happens when Walt Disney Studios meets Xena Warrior Princess - well, literally Gabrielle and Joxer? Lexxie gives us a hilarious view.

Something's on the prowl during a restless night in warlord Xena's camp.

Why it's a Favorite:

Xena's warlord days of "ten winters"... oops! thirty-five "winters ago" are always fascinating — combine it with Lexxie's gift of making us visualize and this vignette gives a thought provoking peek into a character revealing incident of Xena's past.

Why it's a Favorite:

In every relationship there are things left unsaid, and we've been waiting a long time for the God of War and his Warrior Princess to come into the open with frank discussion. LadyKate does it with an open honesty that cuts no corners and, as usual, remains true to the characters.

Why it's a Favorite:

Combine LadyKate's talent for getting down to the "bare bones" level with great adventure and you have an excellent combination just to begin with! This second part to "The Joining" not only doesn't let you down, but takes her story to higher plains.
