Summary
Gabrielle’s eyes squeeze shut in a silent plea, Sweet Aphrodite, what am I to do? And when they blink slowly open again she sees it on the desk beside her writing box, in a spare ink pot filled hastily with water - a single, unassuming rose. Her fingers are at the stem before she can register what she’s doing, and this time there’s no hesitation.
Or: what if the playwright Gabrielle kept the rose tossed at her feet by the Empress of Rome?

Summary
Gabrielle drifted off to the sound of a chuckle, and a hand stroking softly over her hair, and woke in the moonlight to Xena shaking her by the arms, leaning over her and telling her desperately to wake up.
“Thank the gods,” Xena breathed, and clutched her so close that she had trouble breathing for a moment.

Post "Is There a Doctor in the House?", Gabrielle is battered and bruised, and Xena's having nightmares.

"You?" Yelan snorts. "You don't trust anyone."
"I trust you," Ningguang says, meeting her gaze steadily. "Without reservation."
Yelan's mouth twists into a smirk. It is a backhanded barb, and they both know it. Ningguang only trusts things she's confident she can control.

Summary
One minute Greta is running like the wind, the next she’s on the floor, clutching her left knee and, most worryingly, not getting back up again. Carson’s heart stops dead in her body; she’s on her feet automatically, barely noticing she’s running until she’s halfway there.
It’s bad. It’s really, really bad.

“Well, I can’t see my own face, so how would I know that?”

“Ah, yes. That I did know.”

Summary
The ground was cold under Sara. She could hear fighting outside of the building, but she knew that she was now alone.
Alone.
When did that happen? Was it when she received the news from Guuji Yae? Or when she went against the Tenryou Commission's will? If she had to pin it down… she would say it was the moment that wretched woman beat her down… and the Almighty Shogun stood by, silent.
Maybe she had been alone for much longer. It was just Sara and her beliefs up until that same faith forsake her and left her broken on the ground.Sara is taken in by Ayaka and Yoimiya following the battle at Tenshukaku. Unable to deal with the promises of eternity that had been taken from her, the tengu finds herself lost in the world.

Summary
But she'd long ago made peace with the reality that she could never hope to hold the whole of Jean Gunnhildr's attention. It was a commodity far too in demand, pulled and tugged as many directions as dandelion seeds in their fickle Archon's wind. To chase such a thing was a childish fantasy: fun sometimes, but leading nowhere.
Eula Lawrence had already picked more than her fair share of losing battles, and was busy fighting them still—she had little interest in adding another to her timetable.

Summary
“Truthfully, Ei, only so much in this world is permanent. Some things may remain the same, but people are ever-changing. I’ve witnessed this over the past few centuries while you were off being a hermit.” Miko giggles to herself, then leans in until she’s right beside the archon’s ear and whispers, “I have also learned many things through the course of change. Would you like a demonstration?”
Ei turns her head and holds Miko’s chin between two fingers to look at her properly. “That depends. What have you got up your sleeves this time, Miko?”
or: ei receives a visitor in the plane of euthymia.

Summary
The first thing Eula notices are the antlers.
The Spindrift Knight freezes in her tracks the moment she registers the head of soft pink hair, crouched over and peering curiously at the neatly stacked crates— so it appears the Reconnaissance Company hadn't been the only one doing some snooping. Still, the sight of the girl's petite frame causes her to frown. What could someone like her be doing on a cargo ship?
or, Eula doesn't know how to be warm, and Yanfei knows state secrets.
