Chakram Reborn: Pilot Episode by Mindy Schwigel [Uber/Classic/Alt/Complete]

The Yin/Yang Chakram, a weapon only a select few could handle. It is said that when Gabrielle died, Xena and Gabrielle’s spirits were intertwined within the Chakram, waiting to be released again. Throughout time, trusted Gods and humans alike hid this Chakram, waiting for the time for Xena and Gabrielle to be reborn again. For when the time comes, a descendant of Xena’s will hold the Chakram, and Xena and Gabrielle will be reborn again. Both Xena and Gabrielle will be reincarnated as their descendants and will be reunited. And once finding the Chakram, they shall emerge as their true selves again, ready to fight for the greater good in a new world.

Think of it as Xena, Gabrielle, and various characters from the show reborn in the 21st century. (This is the pilot novel, or episode as I call it. I’m currently in season 2.)

Wynne Donohue and Senior Deputy Mandy Jalinski soon have their hands full trying to rein in the inevitable calamity...

Campfire Tales by Bat Morda [Classic/Alt/Complete]

When the episode was over, fires still burned... This story depicts scenes around the campfire that follow some Xena episodes you’ve seen and one you haven’t. It occurred to me that the campfire scenes in Xena were really some of the best vehicles to explore the evolving relationship of Xena and Gabrielle.
