Xena could be patient, even if she’d really rather just take what she wanted. It would be so easy.

Book 7: Legend of Korra - The Shadows of Korra by ac_actually

Summary
*I created this because the audience was never treated to a Korra/Kyoshi interaction and I believe that this dynamic could have and should have been explored given their similarities. Both women have excellent stories and I want an exchange between the two of them to happen. Given Korra's severing from the past Avatars, this was not easy to weave into the current canon, but I tried my best. Enjoy!

Summary
The evolution of the relatinoship between Xena and Gabrielle. The first few chapters are epilogues to some of the episodes in seasons 1 - 4 and the last few chapters depart a little from the timeline of the show. I'm hoping to post updates fairly regularly.

Summary
But here and now, her infatuation and endless ire with the woman next to her would only widen, growing to swallow her whole. Her mother seals their fate with a stern, decided gaze. Her mother clears her throat, her cup of tea already half drank in front of her before she speaks.
“In light of yesterday, and with the threat of Noxus looming over us, I’ve decided to appoint Ser Violet to be your sworn protector. Wherever you go, she goes.”
The finality in her tone steals the air from Caitlyn’s lungs. She can feel Vi stiffen next to her, her breathing an increment heavier. Caitlyn dares a side-long glance, anger dancing on the tip of her tongue, and is stunned to see Vi already staring at her, open and almost wild."
OR
Vi, a knight of the Queen’s Guard, is personally appointed by the Queen, Cassandra Kiramman, to be the princess’s sworn protector in the wake of a blooming war with Noxus. However, the princess is as stubborn as they come and tries to thwart the knight at every possible turn. Until she doesn't

Summary
Beginning just after the end of "A Friend in Need," this story finds a way for Xena and Gabrielle to have their baklava and eat it too. Sometimes it pays to have a Greek god who's halfway at least in love with you.
Or: how we get Xena back without invalidating her sacrifice.
Note: I tagged it for Major Character Death because, well, because "A Friend in Need," but the whole point of the story is fixing that, so....

Summary
Xena is the Conqueror. The Empress, the Queen, a feared warlord with more blood on her hands than in her veins. She is feared by all, hated by many, and loved by none. Her empire is vast, but tearing at the seams. She maintains control of her realm as she maintains control within herself; with violence, and with pain.
One night, a choice is laid in her lap. Stay, and follow her present path to death and ruin, and perpetual torture in Tartarus. Stay, and remain soulless, an empty vessel of hate, rage, and pain. Or leave, take the path of change, and take with her a woman who, according to a god who would not reveal her name, carries the key to redeeming her soul. To do this, she must get this woman to forgive her, to trust her, and to unlearn what it is to fear her.
Can she do it? Probably not. Certainly she has her doubts. But does she take the path untrodden?
Yes, yes she does.
Oh, and the name of the woman, this key?
Gabrielle, of course.

She was where she needed to be. She was going to pull her necro out of this godforsaken tomb, end the game of musical bodies they were playing, and then everything would be all right. Harrow would be alive. And Gideon was going to give her shit for approximately the next myriad for not just taking what she’d offered and saving them a whole lot of trouble.

Summary
"You’re a virgin,” Gideon said, testing it out. "Huh."
Harrow didn’t like the sound of that huh. She knew Gideon’s noises, and that was a thoughtful, sinister huh. That was the same huh she’d made before putting canned tuna in Crux’s work boots.
Her eyes narrowed. “What.”
Gideon cocked her head to the side. “Is there a reason you’re waiting?” There was no judgement in the question— only genuine curiosity.
Perhaps it was this that made Harrow more inclined to answer. “I don’t have the time to look for someone new,” She shrugged. “And my available pool is… somewhat limited.”
“Well,” Gideon said, with just a hint of conspiracy in those glittering golden eyes. “If you ever want to change that, you have my number.”
What? What?
Harrow blinked. “What?”
Or: the five times Gideon and Harrow successfully bone, and the one time they don't.

She told herself once before that she would follow Kyoshi to the edges of the Earth, and it was about time that she made good on that promise. She would use her love as a driving force, and with it, she'd devote herself to the earthbender. Not because she was the Avatar, but because she was Kyoshi. Her Kyoshi
