Summary
Princess Kara had been home for a week and Queen Alexandra was grateful for every second they spent together. However, this did not stop the guilt which sat like a stone in her stomach and threatened to spew out of her whenever she laid eyes on Clark.
Alex had never lied to Kara. She would honestly swear that fact before any judge in the country. Was it really her fault that Kara had never asked, “Are you planning on forcing Clark into marriage with foreign nobility?”?
-----o0o-----
Modern royalty story: Kara is sick and the only way that Alex can save her is by arranging for Clark to marry Lady Lena. This might have worked if Clark was not already in love.

Summary
Betrayed and broken, former General Rourke is stripped of everything but his life, which is now the property of his most cunning rival, General Thalia.
"As if he’d heard her thoughts, his ribs seemed to contract. And there, in the flickering firelight, she saw it—the unmistakable, livid imprint of a boot heel, a bruise blackening the pale skin and sharp bone of his side. Someone else had already had her thoughts and acted on them. She blew out a long, winding breath and took a fortifying, unladylike, gulp of wine.
She wouldn’t, but he didn’t know that. Any opportunity for a freshly built camaraderie between them had been shattered in the desert, and she didn’t blame him for it in the slightest. She forced herself to turn her eyes off his prostrated form and back to the platter. She perused the offerings with feigned enthusiasm. As if this were planned. As if it were normal."Series

Love the tension in this fic and the different perspectives which marry together so nicely- there are two very different versions of events but they make logical sense when you put the pieces together.

Summary
When former doctor Lyric entered this alternate universe, she had given up on life and felt she had no purpose.
When she found that the sub-humans that she heard about were actually just scared, abused people that she could help, all of a sudden, she had a purpose again.The pet had given up on life and was ready to risk his miserable life for one bite of bread. Could this mysterious new mistress be the one to put some color in his monochrome world?
Self-indulgent fluff, but it can get a bit dark so bear with me.

Summary
So this is a rewrite of a Xena/Gabrielle AU fanfic I wrote back in like 2007. ("Xena"[Tara] is a grumpy Celtic warrior in this, "Gabrielle"[Epona] a timid prisoner of war, and "Callisto"[Drea] is Xena's former sister-in-arms.) I've altered the original fic's storyline but the major beats are still there, and the characters are still themselves. Hope you all enjoy!
