Summary
Disclaimer: This was a result of a challenge by MyWarrior to match her (impossible!) in writing an altered time-line story where Xena and Gabrielle meet for the first time through the Amazons. It was supposed to be tender and romantic, but these characters had their own plans, and I ended up with this.
It is dedicated to TLC and Linda, who said it was worth posting.
The use of characters and situations belonging to RenPic and MCA is for my own pleasure, and is without permission. In fact, If you haven’t watched the first season this will make even less sense; it’s more of a hurt/little comfort piece, so there is some violence. No Sex please, we’re Canadian.
My thanks to Cyndi Lauper, who probably didn’t know she was writing about Xena and Gabrielle.Series

Summary
Synopsis: Champion takes place in an alternate timeline, in which Gabrielle ran away from Potadaia before meeting Xena, received the rite of cast and became princess of the Amazons under Queen Melosa. When the Queen became mortally ill, Gabrielle faced a challenge for the Queen’s mask by Velasca and sought out the very newly reformed Destroyer of Nations, (who had returned home, only to be nearly stoned to death by the townspeople of Amphipolis.) Suicidal, she is stopped by the young princess who challenges her to a staff fight, hoping to goad Xena into being her Champion in the challenge. Not amused, Xena nearly kills the young girl, but not before she recognizing the girl’s bravery, and the strange connection between them.
This story begins at the end of Champion as Gabrielle, who has been unconscious for several days, awakens believing she has failed to convince the warrior.Series
