Too bad that there probably won't be a sequel. Finally a story where Gabrielle doesn't forgive the Conqueror's atrocities. Loved the end. - Anonymous - Feb-21-2007   

This conqueror story is short but strong. I recommend it. - Anonymous - Jun-03-2009   

Heart-breaking. You feel for both of them and plead with both to read between the lines of what the other is feeling, the anticipation builds and the reader gets carried away on a hopeful wave before the heart-rendering closure. Beautifully written. - bauervg - Jul-16-2014   

WOW!!! Doing laundry is right up there with having my teeth pulled without anesthetic, but, now...hmmmm...gonna have to re-evaluate that I think...heh!!! Thank you Mayhem Incarnate for redeeming laundry day with this positively HOT tale!!! - Michelle - Oct 5th, 2003   

another nice pwp by this author.. - xtra dog - Sep-22-2011   

A very good post-FIN story. In a way, very in tune with the show, IMHO, though the subtext is there. :-) Don't forget the box with hankies but the story is worth it! - Mel - Nov-09-2007   

One of the first fan fics I ever read. Well worth a read. - Elaine - Apr-13-2008   

hmm.. well written story.. and the ending was of course well deserved.. and yet.. even though the ending is a happy one, it leaves me rather sad.. - xtra dog - Nov-07-2011   

This is simply a wonderful story. For once a beautiful vampire/Goddess story that has a happy ending. Too many end tragically. I would love to read more of these characters. Beautiful work Phantom Bard! - Laura - Jul 20th, 2004   

This story is extremely well written. The author came up with a very interesting storyline and exceptional characters. This is definitely one of my favorites. - Jen - Jul 22nd, 2005   

Very interesting story, believable characters. I would have preferred a little bit more angst and accusations from Valerie over the murder and mayham of Medea. - Anonymous - Mar-02-2007   

Awesome story. Well developed and researched. - Burntdruid - May-06-2009   

Well, it's true I don't get out much anymore; which is why I missed "Real Vampires". I enjoyed it very much. I liked the litle twist about how a vampire is created. I hope to read more about this imaginative world. - darkenedkarma - May-11-2009   

Very original story, great read, from a great bard. - mjf - Nov-16-2009   

**** SPOILER ALERT **** Very intriguing concept of a clandestine mythology and modern day meeting. This author brings the angst you enjoy in hoping for a happy ending. I highly recommend you read this very well researched and described story with its very romantic tendrils woven in it. - XNU - Nov-25-2009   

I enjoy most of the entries in this series, but I consider this one to be the high point. - Anonymous - Feb-28-2009   

so many head games being played in this one.. no wonder gabrielle had so many headaches.. - xtradog - Jun-13-2015   

It's not a typical story but was still a funny comedy spoof.I'd recommend reading it if you like that kind of quirky story. - uber goober - Nov-17-2009   

Years ago, I thought this concept of writing was so silly that I just let it pass...
Well! It IS silly... but so smart funny!!!
I laughed a lot! I needed it, after have been reading too much angst plots lately...

The story of Devan and Rhian will continue to suck you in in this well-written sequesl. This is another winner from Harley. The story and character development remain refreshing and real. Harley creates just the right tension and complexities to move this story along in powerful ways. An excellent uber from an excellent writer. - UberCrazy - May 3rd, 2005   

Thoroughly enjoyed this sequel, as well as the first story - Poetry In Motion. Thank you, 'Harley', for the two wonderful stories. Hopefully looking for a third in the series?!!? :) ***A hint to Anonymous - This story is finished and posted complete at the Academy of Bards site (authors/Harley)!!*** Dee! - Dee! - Oct 17th, 2005   

Brilliant. I sure hope we'll see more of Deven and Rhian in the near future. Those girls still have a lot to sort out and I can't wait to read all about it. Harley, you're a master. - Sai - Feb-01-2007

I never written a recommendation before and i probably never vill again, but this is such a great story everybody should read it. I have one question to the author though.
WHO DID IT!!!!!! - From Copenhagen - Sep-30-2008   

I've read this story ten times over and always find something new! Great sequel, but where's the follow-up? Author said it wasn't finished, but haven't seen anything new for some time now. More!!! - Wonder Woman - Aug-03-2009   

Excellent, would love to see a follow-up just to see the mother from hell get what she deserves. - Anonymous - Aug-25-2009   

fantastic series that i have now read a couple of times, but where is the follow on promised at the end of book 2 ???? Seriously want to see Patricia getting bitch slapped...lol - debbie - Dec-09-2009   

Wow... great series and a wonderfully nice read. Great characters, ansty plot. Will there be more to come ? hope so. I want to see Patricia get hers and find out who went after "storm". - Anonymous - Apr-19-2010

Great sequel but would love to read the follow up To this - Anonymous - Dec-11-2015   

Nice story but could have been better if Kim had taken more time to give it more body. It has potential to become a much better story if the characters are given more depth, there is more intrigue and the action is more intense. But I suppose she wanted to just keep it short. Pity though.Still, It's just right to read in bed just before you go to sleep. It's fun, pleasant, not too exciting or "angstfull" to give you bad dreams and short enough to finish before lights out.Restfull. - letterwolf - Apr 20th, 2004   

Loved the short story. Can't wait for the book! - Anonymous - Mar-24-2006   

I read this not long ago and loved it. The story builds so well and draws you in and the ending is lovely. Well worth reading as all Kim Balwin's work is. Highly recommended. - Lyn B - Feb-11-2011

Xena and Gabrielle are still alive in the present time in this story that explains what happened to them after FIN. Interesting and funny. - Alexi - May 13th, 2004

Loved both books. She kept me enthralled throughout both books. I loved all the main characters and loved the twist at the end of Deeper. Would like to see the author explore more, maybe in a third book. - Carley - Mar-25-2013   

An intriguing series. The first story had me vaccilating between the 3 main characters and the sequel looks promising too. Excellent story. - E - Aug 15th, 2004   

Wow, this story is just amazing. And I think the scene between Erin and Liz is the hottest I've ever read! I'm really looking forward to the sequel and how things turn out. Does anybody else wish that Erin and Liz end up together?? - Anonymous - Aug 30th, 2004   

This story is absolutely good. The characters seem real and the plot kept me reading well into the night. Believe me when I say you have to read this story because you will hooked from the first word to the last. I highly recommend this to everyone. Just when you think you figured it out, something else happens and that is what kept me reading. Can't wait to read the sequel. - Meg - Aug 30th, 2004   

Ok , so I stayed up late and read this because I just had to see what happened. Nice job !!!! - Shaybe - Sep 1st, 2004

Wow, what a beautiful story! I don't normally read short stories, but a friend recommended 'Last Dance', so I tried. It has touched me so much that I even decided to write a review. This is a very well written story, and very touching. For the few of us we are lucky enough to have found the love of our lives, 'Last Dance' will have a very special meaning. C.J. Harte definitely has a way with words! Do not miss it! BTW, when is the rest of series coming up?! - MichelleR. - Apr 1st, 2005

A brilliant love story. I will re-read this story many, many times. It touched a deep cord in my heart, making me cry. If you're a romantic, you'll love it. If you're not a romantic, you'll be hoping that this will be your story. Brilliant. - Maria - Aug-23-2009   

so touching... - easteden - Aug-31-2009   

I am crying ... Beautiful story. - RLA - Aug-29-2010   

Such a beautiful story! It's short but it still touches your heart very deeply. I hope I will be lucky enough to meet a woman to spend all my life with.
I don't know if anyone noticed, but the end seems to have double meaning. Something about a dance for a lifetime confuses me. But it's still a happy ending no matter where they dance - on this land or in another world, - as long as they are together. - vacumm_cleaner - Jul-31-2011

I read this story a long time ago and have only just found it again. I like it more now than when I first found it. There's a lot of layers to the relationship between the women. It's a tender and thought provoking romantic story. Well worth reading. - Lyn B - Mar-18-2011   

i like the fact that the writer weaves characters from her other stories into her new one.. sometimes it's just a reference, sometimes they play an active role.. it interconnects them and makes you think back to the stories this author wrote before.. that being said, i did miss the witty dialogues in this story.. - xtra dog - Dec-10-2011   

WOW!!! You made me cry, you made me laugh, you made me hope... What an awesome story. Thank you!! I've read a lot of story and i can tell you, you are one gifted author. - julianna - Jan 4th, 2006   

Awesome, awesome story. Will have you checking the amount of pages left all the way through--just hoping that it will never end. - lindxena - Jan 5th, 2006   

Most of the stories don't show such deep feelings. This one however, shows them all, just how I have always imagined Xena's & Gabrielle's love. That is exactly what I look for in a good post-FIN story. Excellent job! *standing ovation*I'd love to read more pieces of Art written by this talented bard :) - AquariusG - Jan 9th, 2006   

Superb! This is highly recommended to all those that pine for the old classic days of fanfiction. We need more of this please!! :) - Kerry - Jan 15th, 2006   

a sumptuous piece of writing! a moving portrayal of Gabrielle's grief. a remarkably satisfying rewrite of the Callisto/Xena back story. - 3creeks - Oct-29-2006   

OMG! One of the best XWP stories out there. If you felt the FIN left you hanging read this. It provides excellent closer for the show and takes you on a break neck fast moving adventure. Never a dull momemt. Great read! - Amanda - Aug-06-2007   

A beautiful and moving piece of work. - Anonymous - Aug-23-2008   

That was really good. That's the first thing I said after I finished this story...like saying it outloud made it even more true. Wonderful story. Very moving and well written. Bravo! - Alcandre - Aug-25-2008   

One of the best stories I've ever read. Hell the most heart-wrenching story I've read so far. Compelling and has you glued to your chair wanting more after it ends. (And the ending always comes too soon, doesn't it?) A much better ending than FIN, a *real* ending. Beautiful intricate way to weave Callisto in as well, while still making her believable as the person we all knew and semi-hated in the series.

All in all, 10 out of 10. I'd happily recommend ANYONE to read this story. And even then, to read it again for good measure. It's that good.
- Anonymous - Dec-14-2009   

One of my favorite post-FIN stories of all time. This one will rip your guts out, but mend your heart at the same time. Best portrayal of Callisto *ever*. - lindxena - Jul-15-2010

Great sequel and a surprise ending. Please, folks, treat yourself to a good read by reading both parts one and two. - cygirl1 - Dec-08-2010   

Although the sequel to The Phoenix was enjoyable and tackled some tough emotional situations, the first was more enjoyable. The emotions and reactions of the Tink and Julie seemed more real in the first. However it was nice to see Julie and Tink get their happy ending. - Stacia - Aug-18-2013   

I just read the first book and this sequel in one go!!!! This was excellent!!! I ACTUALLY WISH THAT THERE WAS A THIRD BOOK TO GO ALONG WITH THEM!!! This second book seemed to concentrate more on Tink's character than on Julie's. I would like to read more about Julie and her new life as a retired war hero. WA DYA THINK?!!!!!!!!! I THINK IT'S AN AWESOME IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Te` - Jul-01-2014   

I enjoyed the first story, Mel. I'm halfway through the second one and it's 2:13am and I am trying to talk myself into doing the responsible thing and going to bed so I can work tomorrow, but, dang it to h*ll, Mel, I wanna stay up and read your scrolls!! You don't know how much I love...'em. bama :) - bamaxena - Mar-19-2007   

This story (and all of Leslie Ann Miller's stories) is one of those beautiful fics that makes the Xena fandom stand out. It's beautifully written, wonderfully conceived and manages to tell a complex, heartbreaking story (yes, you will cry) in only a few pages. Brilliant stuff! - leavethesky - Jan-26-2007   

Truly beautiful.
A story that will touch your heart, and reawake your passion for Xena fanfiction.
I hope Leslie writes for many years to come. - Kez - Jan-28-2007   

In a way, all xenites tend to look away from what put an end to their excitement. Xena and Gabrielle, this beautiful pair that touched so many people around the world, in a way that anybody really expected. But, here was the truth, one day, when the final episodes came on air, and left us with a sens of mourn and a bitter sweet taste. I ached, I'm still aching, I'm xenite, like so many others, and yet, I'm prostating before this bard. She eased my ache to it's core. I'm greatfull. Thank you so much for giving these two women, the eternity they deserve. - yuka - Nov-08-2011   

This is one of the better Xena stories out there. The author decided to tell a story with a contrasting plot as to how Xena and Gabrielle met taking in the more authentic aspects of the times these women lived in where probably hunger, homelessness and loss was common. Xena chooses to redeem herself through ruin and destitution rather than righting the wrongs of the world or fighting for the greater good - although there is a hint that that's what she might do after she meets Gabrielle, although it's not mentioned, it is my hope that's where the story will lead. Once again as with all of Lori's stories I wished it was longer because I can never get enough of her writing. Suffice it to say - Xena's encounter with Gabrielle and what is revealed later, is very moving. File this away and save it for posterity into the highly recommended classic Xena fan fiction. Long live Xena fan fiction! And long live the author. May she write more unique stories. May the muse be with you, always. - Karon Reiter - Mar-24-2007   

This is an absolutely wonderful tale of the Conqueror. Where's the sequel? - Anonymous - May-30-2008   

wow - Anonymous - Jun-06-2008   

I have no idea what to write here because the emotion that I am feeling after I have read this story is beyond words. It truly is THE best story about how Xena and Gabrielle met. This is story is, I believe, how the show should have went in the end. READ this story. It's truly a great emotional tour of what Xena feels about Gabrielle. Thank You Lori A Meyers - Anonymous - Jun-15-2008   

I love this story on how Xena and Gabrielle could have met, if there lives went down different paths from the very beginning. Lori is proving to be quite the author. - The Singularity - Sep-04-2008

despite the series title: no wonders to behold in this story.. it was funny and well written up to a point.. minon died in the previous story of this series.. as i recall he was hanging from a mast with an arrow piercing his heart in the docks of babylon.. in this story he has miraculously risen from the dead ( a trait i only wish to bestow on xena and gabrielle) and ,
not even having been present in babylon since he was acting as a spy in athens during the conqueror's and queen's absence.. it's a minor detail but such discrepancies do bug me while reading stories.. - xtra dog - Oct-28-2011

I loved this story. The twists and the turns due to the alternate xenaverse Lori creates, what she puts in place that runs parallel to canon Xena I found amusing and believable. You will not be disappointed, however, in Xena's legendary sex drive to utterly ravish Gabrielle. That doesn't change regardless of what timeline Xena is in. I also like the competitive dynamic she puts in play between Xena and her brother Toris. I read this story several times and love it each time I read it. - Karon Reiter - Jun-25-2008

this short story takes place right after "bluest eyes in texas" and right before "borderline".. nice introduction to two other characters by texbard.. - Anonymous - Jun-05-2011   

great continuance of part one. Here's to hoping there is a part 3! - rhybeka - Oct-21-2007   

glad this is an ongoing series... Red and Evadne have great chemistry - T - May-12-2008   

A plot with genuine surprises and layered characterisation makes this both a gripping, twisting story and a pleasure to read. - ab - Jan-27-2009   

Creating anticipation is a wonderful gift. Waiting to read more from this author, hopefully soon. - Kali - Nov-29-2007   

very realistic.. honestly.. in this day and age, it's impossible not having similar accidents when imbibing while surfing the net.. ;) - xtra dog - Feb-03-2013   

I couldn't read ir fast enough. - Wheezie - Feb-24-2013   

Excellent little story - filled my lunch break just nicely :o) - Dinasbran - Nov-01-2007   

Great story! I loved the characters and the excitement. The author's other two works "Matchmaker" and "In Sync" are a must read also! I think these stories are definitely historical fantasy. - Jude - Nov-05-2007   

Good story. Great characters. Liked it. - Beth - Jan-15-2008   

Fantastic short story. - Anonymous - Dec-27-2008   

I really enjoyed this...just wish it were longer!!! Nicely done filfil!!! - JC - Mar-12-2009   

Awesome story. My only complaint: too short. filfil again packs more into this short story than other authors manage to put in a whole book - the characters and the story would be worthwhile to explore more. - bookgeek - Jun-20-2010   

Good story- pretty hot too! - Anonymous - Jun-18-2012   

Awesome!! I love Mayt's conqueror series, it's so different from the rest. Written beautifully like all the others in the series. A definite recommend!! - Anonymous - Dec-06-2007   

What a great series! Of course I had to 'dip' into as soon as I'd seen it'd been posted. Of course, I read to the bloody end. One of my very favorite fanfic series. Read it... - Micah6 - Dec-08-2007   

I think the My Lord series is well written and Mayt has offered up a interesting list of characters. Well worth the time taken to read it. - Eveh - Dec-11-2007   

Finally! I've waited a year for a new installment of 'My Lord', and it was totally worth the wait. Mayt should have the 'My Lord' series published. Nobody does dialogs with the right dose of anguish, heartbreak, playfulness and flirting like she does. A must read. - Nikko - Dec-18-2007   

I haven't cried this much in a long time reading this story. It truly touches the heart. The whole series is wonderful. Looking forward to the final story. - shk - Dec-18-2007   

Mayt develops the characters of Xena and Gabrielle in a refreshing way in this Conquorer story, depicting both Xena and Gabrielle as strong in love and yet flawed in its commission, repeatedly failing in their efforts not to hurt one another. - ab - Jun-27-2009   

I know this might sound terrible but this segment of the series absolutely ruined it for me ....ht - Amanda - Jan-07-2012   

I totally get you, Amanda. Could not get enough of the series until this installment. - Anonymous - Feb-27-2014   

i LOVE a good Xena & Gabrielle story!! thank you, it has been a while that i've read a new one. EXCELLENT!! - Anonymous - Jan-24-2008   

this is an amazing story!!!! you have to read it, if you looking for a good xena story this is it!!! - d - Jan-28-2008

For anyone who's confused, the horse's name is Ronin, not R?nin. The "o" has an accent over it, and it didn't get picked up in the conversion. ;) [Editor's Note: Corrected. 4-17-2010] - Akiela Xal - Apr-01-2010

The world of Grey's Anatomy lends itself so well to fiction - there is inherent drama - and so few writers do it any justice. Bella thankfully is not one of those - it's a great start to this story. Looking forward to reading much more! - Rangeela - Jan-23-2009   

please, continue this story at a greater pace, i love the characters & story - 15a - Mar-14-2009

Is there no more of this great story? No happy ending? - 15a - Sep-27-2009   

This is awesome. The characters are true to their actual TV show counterparts. I pray that the author will return to this story at some point and finish this wonderful story. - Sherron L. Sadler - Jul-17-2010   

Callie is such a wonderfull character, interpreted onscreen by a excessively talented actress. This bard managed to recreate this "callieness" in words. I just can applaud that. This was a very entertaining and sexy novel. Thanks for sharing in. - yuka - Dec-30-2011

I don't think a story gets any better than this. Dee illustrates that love is eternal, not bound by a lifetime. This is what it is to love and be in love. Thank you Dee!

I liked these stories. This one and the sequel are very good. I would have liked the series to continue. - uber goober - Oct-20-2010   

The story is completed, so the 'unfinished' is wrong and needs changing.

I liked this story. The characters are very well written and make you want to read more about them. A nice read. [Editor's Note: Corrected. 6-4-2011]

Awesome story! Great job - sassy123 - May-07-2011   

Needless to say, I've been thoroughly enjoying BG's wonderful fantfic tales. So much so, I had to venture out on youtube and watch some BOP episodes that were online - just to get flavor of the TV show and characters. This story was a delight, though I did want to smack both Babs and Helena around at several points in the story... but, BG kept me reading. Do yourself a favor and dig in. Well worth your reading time. - colorado fan - Jul-13-2011   

Another great story in this series. Wishing reality could mimic fantasy at times so women in love could produce children. Lovely read. Thanks. - Anonymous - Jan-02-2012
