  Summary

  “You can sleep over there,” Xena said, tossing Gabrielle a heavy fur. Gabrielle didn’t expect it to hit her so hard in the face. Regardless, she stood to lay it out for herself on the far side of the fire. A little thrill shot through her when her shy smile was returned by Xena.

  -

  A series of extended, altered, and deleted scenes from every Season 1 episode of Xena, including pre, post, and during episodes. A telling of Xena and Gabrielle falling in love, episode by episode. Every tiny detail of their love story is eating holes in my brain, I had to write them down.
