Summary
Part Two of Warrior Is: a series of extended, altered, and deleted scenes from every episode of Xena, including pre, post, and during episodes.
When exactly did they get together? What really happened in the bath in A Day in the Life? Need an extended scene from The Quest? How the hell did they deal with Ulysses and The Price? It's all here, with a decent helping of bickering, bantering, flirting, sparring, bathing, and everything our girls are known for.

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.

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.

Summary
She wonders, sometimes, if it would always have been like this. If she'd answered that call 20 years ago, if she'd called her back, would they have become friends like this. Real friends. It takes four months of dinners, drinks, coffees, before she finally actually asks the question.

An outlaw with a violent past, Xena leaves her homeland in hopes of a better life somewhere else. It's hard to stay strong when everything is falling apart, but one thing is for sure: even after the longest winter, the spring will always, always come.
