One of the greatest fan fiction classics. Rebekah, you will be missed. Thank you. - BYL - Mar-14-2006   

This was a very interesting story in how the author disclosed and unfolded the many layers of these characters that have led both Xena and Gabrielle to their attachment and connection to each other, not to mention being responsible for a lot of the doctrine of Xena fan fiction that subsequent authors repeated as canon. While I questioned Xena's sound of mind and verbal lucidity while sleeping, the conception of revealing her dark side in this way was quite compelling, not to mention Gabrielle's selfless love for Xena, ignoring her own pain, so that her friend could heal with out the added guilt over what she did unknowingly to Gabrielle - all made for a very confessing expose on the early evolving relationship between Xena and Gabrielle. It is unfortunate that Rebekah was unable to complete this series as there were a lot of questions that needed to be answered in this first part of the narrative, some of them quite riveting in terms of time distortion and possible alternate dimensions - but we'll never know, sadly. - Karon Reiter - Jul-09-2011

Excellent dialog between Xena and Gabrielle throughout. One of the best fan fictions I've ever read! - Copper - Jul-01-2017
