Alone (Once In An African Blue Moon) by Jennifer Alexander Robinson     

Xena | Alternative | Romance (alt) | Novella - 62 pages | Finished | Jan-13
Still grieving over Xena's death in Japa, Gabrielle embarks on a voyage, which takes her to the land of Kush and a fateful meeting with Nubian Warrior Queen Utaria, ruler of Meroe. This is a gentle journey of new hope and new love. This lyrical narrative is a combination of Gabrielle's introspective cutaway thoughts, and is inspired by African praise poems and songs. It weaves myths, magic and rituals with factual elements.
Evocative and beautiful - Anonymous - Jan-10-2013    The relationship between Gabrielle and Utaria is portrayed with such delicacy of feeling and respect between them that it reminds me of Henry James. The noble milieu brings to mind Flaubert's Salammbo, so one hell of a writing pedigree all round. A must-read if you want to know what love between giants could feel like... - Dominic - Jan-13-2013    As too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. This story moved me deeply and continues to move me each time I read it. What wonderful talent and how blessed we are to have her. - F.B.L - Jan-25-2013

Xena | Alternative | Vignette | Very Short Story - 7 pages | Finished | Nov-09 Cast: Xena, Gabrielle
A campfire scenario. This is a Xena and Gabrielle vignette, composed as a lyrical story. This story is interspersed with episode references and dialogue snippets from series 1-6. There is more than a little extra blurring of the Xenaverse timeline here.
Poetic and lyrical - Anonymous - Jun-01-2012    The two most engaging powers about this author is to make new things familiar and familiar things new, the words will tenderly caress you making you smile. F.B.L - FBL - Sep-08-2012
