I am really excited about the updates today. I happened to come across perhaps the best looking Xena website I have ever seen and in surfing around I found a piece of fanfic that really caught my attention. The website is Talaran's Realm and the story is Vendetta. It's über and unfinished but it worth a look!
Vendetta - Talaran
Nicole Stone is a detective with a painful past. Often reclusive and driven to succeed, she never imagined herself falling in love, but when she meets Carly Jamison, her partner's sister, her beliefs are shaken. Can Nic open her heart to Carly, while trying to save them all from the clutches of a ruthless drug lord bent on revenge?
Next, I have a story that has been around for a while but I don't think it has gotten the exposure it has deserved.It has won both a Swollen Bud Award and an Amazon Ice Award. It is HOT! Take a look at the story written by someone I am happy to call a friend and I am going to miss when she moves next month :(
At Charon's Dock - Kate
A sensual tale of love, longing and sacrifice; set after 'The Rift' - as an alternate end to the tragedy of "Maternal Instincts".

You guys are in for a real treat today! Claire Withercross has written a couple of Conqueror stories. Beware...cliffhanger/angst warning <g>
The first one is called Waiting To Happen
Summary : Waiting in the rain seems just like a normal, boring day on border patrol for Ephiny. Only the thought of Queen Gabrielle waiting for her when she gets back is keeping her going. But her life is turned upside down when Xena, The Conqueror, and her army arrive. For Gabrielle has a difficult choice to make when she begins negotiations with Xena. Can she solve the problem without anyone getting hurt?
The second one is called Warm Wet Circles and happens to be the sequel to Waiting To Happen
Summary : Gabrielle takes an injured Conqueror to the Amazons for treatment. The reception they receive is far from warm, but that's only to be expected. While wounds, both physical and emotional, are healed death stalks in the shape of a woman bent on vengeance.
