He Who Would Be King by True Blue
Gen/Classic, 43 pages - Complete
Recommended by Kamouraskan ~ November 10, 2001
What I love about the better Fanfic is that our understanding of the characters allows the writers to create a plot with extra depth because of the inner conflicts and relationship that are art of the joy of Xena and Gabrielle. So in He Who Would be King, we find a detective story, a tale of conflicting interests and potential war, with golden nuggets of for us fanatics like this description of Xena by Gabrielle:
"Buried behind that wall was the guilt, the rage, and that darkness in her soul that scratched and clawed for freedom, but also behind that wall was her vulnerability, and as her vulnerability peered back at me through that crack, I saw that it had my face."

| Heroes
by Joanna
General,
Uber, parody, finished PG -13
Although this is an older story, written in January of 1999, it is in no way lessened. "Heroes" is a parody of the popular show "Cops" and without a doubt, it's a gas! Xena and Gabrielle pursue a warlord in true "Cops" fashion, and it's a chase for your funnybone, believe me. There are so many gems in this story that I can't share too many without giving away the story, but here is just a glimpse of Joanna's sense of humor... Xena
(shouting): "We're in pursuit! Do your thing Gabrielle!"
With Joanna's bardic record,she could probably take a grocery list and have it emerge as a side splitter. With a foot chase, a helpful warlord who appears to be a henbane dealer and a dumpling stop for our heroes, I feel I should warn you not to drink anything while you read this. So put down the danish and coffee and enjoy Joanna's "Heroes". This story can be found at |
The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Xenaverse by Mocking Bard (AKA Ariel)
(ALT) Classic XWP, (satire) short story - Finished, 10 pages
Recommended by Rocky ~ March 4, 2002
I laughed, I tittered, I even chucked a time or two and then before I knew it ...I was blowing coffee out my nose. Hilariously funny, especially if you've written anything remotely Xena_ish in your life time. Never before has virginity been used as a plot gag with such panache.
Leave your proud sensibilities at the door when you
read this wild and woolly, warped version of all things Xena. There are no sacred cows in this piece, every cliché is laid bare to it's gooey mush_filled center.
[As soon as they stopped walking, the sun set and they found themselves sitting around a campfire on their abundance of furs and blankets. Xena stared at Gabrielle with her baby_blue orbs, their azure brilliance and sapphire quality like cerulean cobalt.
Xena took Gabrielle into her arms, kissing her tenderly and stroking her long_red short_blonde hair. The bard responded to the kisses.
"Oh Xena, I love you so much, but I don’t know what to
do."
"Gabrielle, I am very experienced having about seventy_two lovers before you, but I know you won’t be jealous of that and I will teach you everything."]
...and that's just the beginning.
Warning: Do Not read while drinking hot beverages, especially if you have sensitive sinuses.

Fires by Roo
Alt/Mel
& Janice/Unfinished
It's always a pleasant surprise to stumble upon a Mel/Janice story that is well-written, witty, and fun. These qualities helped me get over my initial skepticism at shipping Our Favorite Proto-Uber Grrls Down Under for this piece. (Don't know why, maybe it was being spanked with a copy of "The Thorn Birds" as a child. So, I was nervously anticipating clunky surreal dialogue like, "A dingo ate my fedora!" But guess what? The locale is great and works wonderfully.) The plot is thus: Janice is hired to head an excavation in the Aboriginal outback. Her arrival there reunites her with Mel, who is in serious jeopardy of losing her toaster oven because she is kinda shacked up with this Strine dude and playing surrogate mom to his teenage daughter. The characterizations are solid, the dialogue lively and believable, and the story itself is well-paced. I eagerly await an update. |

Move over Annie there's a new blood in town! I have to admit that this one had me hooked from the get-go. Don't let the size of it scare you off I flew through this one, and am eagerly seeking more. Please Jp, I sure hope the next book is well on it's way 'cause I can hardly wait! Yoshima

The product of nearly a millennium of living after being adopted by Japanese

The subtle dance these two weave around each other is fun, fast paced, and enthralling. Even non-goth fans will enjoy this one. |
