During her tiring battles to ensure the Maquis, the Doctor, and Seven are all treated fairly, Kathryn finds herself resorting to unconventional tactics as she tries to protect Seven, risking in the process her career . . . and her heart.
Excellent post-Endgame story! Loved the characterizations of the Janeways as well as Chakotay, making it painfully clear who's best for Seven. Wonderful Gretchen and Seven moments too! - Zivadiva - Sep-13-2012 Great, enjoyable read. - Beckek - Sep-18-2012 <(_)> - :o) - Jan-24-2013 Excellent handling of the "After Endgame" dilemma.

A wonderful post endgame story. A true checkmate....Avid - Avidreader276570 - Dec-08-2008 Great story. I just love Enginerd's stories. Hope to see many more. - linda aka cygirl1 - Dec-09-2008 I love Captain Janeway!! I hope Enginerd writes more about the J/7 pairing. - Greegan - Dec-09-2008 What a wonderfully witty story! I love Janeway/Seven. The humor is so uniquely woven into the story that it's just richly satisfying. Sweet, Enginerd. It's a gift for one of the twelve days of Christmas.

Very well written. I've read it many times and it always makes me smile. - Lyn B - Feb-28-2011 Cute! - Anon - Mar-18-2011 ST:V J/7 stories are my absolute favorite. It's the dynamic of wit, intelligence, the universe, Janeway and Seven; when all are mixed together the effects go supernova. Enginerd is one of my favorite J/7 writers, it's the closest I've been to seeing through a writer's lens and witnessing the story unfold---words soon give way to faces and scenes.

Curse of the Conqueror by Enginerd

Conqueror \| Ancient \| Alternative \| Humor \| Novel - 184 pages \| Finished \| Dec-01 Cast: Xena, Gabrielle, Ephiny, Cyrene, Conqueror, Solari, Callisto, Valeska, Lila, Melosa, Minya, Otere Links: Enginerd's Fan Fiction
A very funny Conqueror story - yep you heard me. Xena the Conqueror rules all of Greece but is unhappy - she has problems with her love life. So she goes to her mother for advice and gets the cryptic response to "find someone with good oral skills." So Xena takes that advice and being of a literal bent kidnaps her mother's bard, Gabrielle. From there on the reader is taken on a humerous adventure as the couple cope with scheming henchmen, naked amazons, comas and assorted odd adventures. Enginerd creates a wonderfully wacky alternative universe that deftly combines humor and adventure.
This a very funny Conqueror story. Enginerd is a writer who can combine humor and adventure with terrific results. Here the alternative Conqueror universe gets a real work out with naked Amazons, a confused lovelorn Conqueror and a very accidental Amazon queen. - Cheryl Ande - Jan 17th, 2003 The link to this story is broken. Curse of the Conqueror by Enginerd - Tracey - Feb 19th, 2004 I just finished reading Curse of the Conqueror and I give it high marks. A tongue tied Conqueror looking for "love" in all the wrong places and unable to talk about, um... well, you know... makes for a very funny story. Add to that an excellent plot and you have a winner. - Patricia - Feb 23rd, 2004 I thouroughly enjoyed this humorous and moving story. I don't usually like Conqueror tales, but this one is a fantastic exception. Enginerd has a very engaging writing style. - Carol Lee - Oct 19th, 2005 This story has engaged me right from the beginning, I'll definitely give it high marks. However, I was sadden to see the story ending just right after Xena wakes up. I hope to see a sequel where Xena and Gabrielle are reunited again. - Nat Chan - Apr-28-2006 Curse of the Conqueror is a finished story and does not end with Xena waking up. There is much more to the story. The complete story can be found on the here or on Enginerd website. - Cheryl Ande - Apr-30-2006 Fantastically funny. A real XTC gem. - msprism - May-15-2007 a story with action,romance,between two enduring souls. a must read. - Anonymous - Feb-02-2008 This story has humor and romance and is enjoyable from beginning to the end. - Avidreader276570 - Feb-09-2008 Read this wonderful and humores story - Callisto - Feb-10-2008 This is a funny Conqueror story that depicts the Conqueror and her desperate search for her problem with you know....you know...YOU KNOW A must read! - Callisto - Feb-10-2008 Extremely funny, had me going there!!! Always thought Xena had that..you know.. problem, that's why she stuck to Gabby..hahaha..! And Gosh..can't help LMFAO..Najara wanting gin at the stake! "She never drank Alcohol" that was funny! Well, if you like to let ur imagination float for a while into extreme comic scenarios, here's the thing for you. And though these may not be the characters as we know them , you'll still love them for sure. - XSDarkLord - Feb-24-2008 This was certainly one of THE best Conqueror stories ever. The humor was right on point. I found myself actually laughing out loud to this. - Sherron - Sep-10-2008 How on earth did I manage to miss this gem of a story after all these years? I will say however that I am glad I did because I have had the chance now to read a real classic that is not only utterly charming... Xena is so loveable in this even when chopping off heads! (Don't believe me? Just take a read :)) It also made me chuckle consistently throughout, with quite a few laugh out loud moments too. It has everything you want in a classic story... Amazons, old enemies,feisty Gabrielle, stoic Xena, and a lovely romance thrown in to turn you into a big mush. I wish I could write like this! Brilliant stuff! - Kez - Nov-01-2008 this was really good. - Dawn - Nov-09-2008 A wonderful surprise! Very, very funny! - Anonymous - Nov-10-2008 Fantastic read! Brilliant, incredibly funny story with very good romance and many other things. This is indeed a gem. Do not miss! - Enverz - Nov-04-2009 A very funny story. Great job. - sassy123 - Feb-22-2011 one of a kind story.. hilariously funny at times with a feisty yet loving gabrielle, a very skilled yet unskilled xena.. a terreis like we haven't seen the likes of before.. very cleverly written story.. - xtra dog - Nov-02-2011 Very good story. It was amusing, touching and just all around well written.A very enjoyable read.Enough said, read it!!! - uber goober - Sep-20-2012 Hilarious, brilliant, and fun.

A very good Janice and Mel story. This isn't a continuation of Enginerd's Janice and Mel war series but perhaps it can be viewed as a prequel. Her Janice and Mel characters are always well written but her secondary characters are always enjoyable too. There is Janice's friend, a Greek prostitute who takes her profession very seriously and Mel's erstwhile suitor from home who just can't understand why every woman is attracted to Janice and not him. I love Janice and Mel and there are too few stories featuring them so I hope Enginerd has more good stories to tell. - Cheryl Ande - May 27th, 2004 An extremely well-writen story, which reads like a true adventure movie. The characterization of Janice and Mel is very interesting. Mel was especially endearing while Janice was infuriating, though you couldn't help but love her. Janice's background story was unpretentious and nicely written. I like this story the most among the author's Mel & Janice stories. - aurelius - Nov 30th, 2004 Fabulous stuff!. Enginerd writes Janice and Mel better than anyone else I've read. Funny, touching, a good romantic adventure and terrific dialogue. A joy to read. Thank you!

I love all of her stories but this one topped the rest. Never go wrong with Janice and Mel...Thank you. - Anonymous - Jun-25-2008 Okay, I admit it... I have a horrible obsession with Enginerd's portrayal of Janice in her wonderful Janice and Mel stories. I have totally and fallen head over heels in love with a fictional character and I blame the author! This series is right up there with the Vivian Darkbloom Janice and Mel stories, and I rate them amongst my favourite fanfics in this truly talented Xenaverse. Do yourselves a favour and read them... all of them at Enginerd's web addy (the stories are not all listed here) http://www.enginerd.info/Fiction/library.htm I guarantee that you will laugh, cry, and love along with these rich characters. Brilliant writing! - Kez - Jan-04-2009 I really enjoyed this Mel and Janice story. The dialogue is spot on and the romance sweet. - Fallon - Feb-27-2009 Vulnerability, growth, and conviction. Enginerd's characters have all of these things. Mel and Janice are so alive and the mystery really keeps the suspense moving. Loved the interactions between the two main characters. - Anonymous - Mar-04-2009 I love Janice! The story is humorous and romantic and totally engaging. The secondary characters are also interesting and create a perfect backdrop to our heroines. - Annie - Mar-06-2009 If you love a good Janice/Mel urber, it doesn't get any better than this. This author has one of the best series, I think i've re-read them all atleast 3x's, - Brighteyez - Apr-13-2009 This author is INCREDIBLE! She brings intelligence, humor, nuance to the characters and to the plot! I really enjoyed the reading! I'm impressed... so will you! - yuka - Jun-09-2009 Excellent Mel and Janice story. Nice blend of humor, romance and adventure. Good characterization of the Mel and Janice relationship and strong supporting characters. - crskcks - Jun-14-2009 I'm not usually fond of the pairing Janice/Melinda but this fantastic bard made me definitely change my mind. She is so talented! Janice is charismatic, mysterious and attractive as hell! The whole atmosphere is thrilling so deep and fun at the same time. Wow! I'm very impressed. READ THIS MASTERPIECE! - yuka - Jun-17-2009 A wonderfully told story about the uncertanty of love, sprinkled with romance, guided by Southern Hospitality with a great who-done-it woven in from the begining.

i can't believe this excellent story has no recommendations. It is a wonderful Xena fic punctuated by a relevent Janice and Mel story. I so wish the author had decided to write more G&X becuase I love her characterisations and the secondary characters are always strong. If you like classic X&G read it! - Elaine - Jun-01-2010 I really love this series. Great job - sassy123 - Feb-22-2011
