Conquering The Conqueror [Incomplete]

A tough lawyer is enchanted by a vivacious barrista in an espesso bar.
The story was prompted by some "gaps" in the story 'Chakram' and other episodes and began as a PWP, but, as with life, it got complicated. It's my take on Xena's and Gabrielle's occasionally mystifying pushme/pullyou relationship. It does contain spoilers for several episodes, but it's complete in and of itself.
Contains spoilers for 'The Convert.' The story is a "between the scenes" piece that has Xena walking the perimeter of camp, dealing with her reaction to something Joxer, in his infinite idiocy, has blurted out at the campfire. Gabrielle follows for a sensitive chat.
