Babylon
Five:The Kelly Leick Chronicles by Daniel Wackerman on Forevaxena (gen)
This story is set some seventy years before Babylon 5 becomes operational.
In it, one of the two main characters that I am introducing is a fictional
distant descendant of the actress Hudson Leick (a.k.a. 'Callisto'), and a
Psi Cop - one of the elite force assigned to enforce Earth Alliance laws
and Psi Corps regulations concerning telepaths. The story is patterned after
some of the 'Father Flanagan' type of movie that were made back in the 1950's.

Babylon
Five: The Xena Ryan-Kelly Leick Chronicles By Daniel Wackerman on Forevaxena
(gen)
This story is based upon the Book Series 'The Psi Corps Trilogy', by J. Gregory
Keyes, which is itself based upon the TV Series 'Babylon 5', by J. Michael
Straczynski.
-
The
Glory of Asura by Daniel Wackerman on Forevaxena (gen)
The events of this story take place following the Fourth Season 'Xena: Warrior
Princess' episode 'A Family Affair'. The story itself was written prior to
the initial airing of the India arc, or any other 'Eli' episodes, which is
why it somewhat anticipates the Eli arc, but does so in a *very* different
fashion from said story arc.
-
First
Christmas 2001 by Odet Owens on Forevaxena (uber/alt)
A seasonal story
-
A
Twist of Fate by LadyKate on Forevaxena (gen)
The story takes place sometime in Season 6 of Xena: Warrior Princess, after
"Old Ares Had a Farm." The plot is loosely based on the episode "When Fates
Collide.
-
Second
Chances by Lady Kate on forevaxena (gen)
The plot of Second Chances presumes an alternate story line that diverges
from the official one somewhere in the last five minutes of the Season 6
Xena, Warrior Princess episode, "Coming Home." Besides the very different
development of the relationship between Xena and Ares, this version has other
departures from X:WP "canon"; for instance, Xena's mother, Cyrene, is still
alive when Xena returns to Amphipolis after her 25-year sleep. In addition
to X:WP, some elements of this story were inspired by the film "Unforgiven"
(1992), directed by and starring Clint Eastwood.

It Took Was You by Ali Vali [unfinished] on Merwolf's Academy of Bards

Half by Niki [unfinished] on Merwolf's Academy of Bards (uber)
Set at college, Kyra is a girl who's starting to get her life back after

meeting Danni, the captain of the school's team, changes that and it isn't
long before she realizes the blonde quickly works her way into her heart.
Trying to win the title with the team and wrestling with her growing feelings
is big struggle, complicated by past actions and a fear to let someone in
once again.

In The Blink of an

This is an original story and the characters are of my own twisted imagination.
Theres no sex, no violence, and very few (if any) bad words. I do hint
at a lesbian relationship, but its not explicit. There are also nasty
relatives, so if that makes you squeamish, I apologize.

I can give it to her as a belated Christmas present.

Merry
Christmas Doctor Covington by Daniel Wackerman on forevaxena
(Gen/mel+Janice)
Janice Covington and Mel Pappas are spending *another* Christmas overseas.
The year is 1944. The news from the front line has been bad for over a week
now, as the Battle of the Bulge is in full swing at this point.
-
Lilithby
Daniel Wackerman on Forevaxena(GEN)
Picture a version of the Third Season Rift where Xena and Gabrielle are apart
for more than a year, in which Xena's life follows the sequence of events
shown in late Third thru mid Fourth Seasons fairly well, but not so Gabrielle's.
This story follows what happens to Gabrielle, and takes place early in the
alternate Fourth Season. The events of 'Bitter Suite' do *NOT* take place
in this version, with the possible exception of Queen-Regent Ephiny's arm
being broken by Xena.
-
The
Farmsteadby Daniel Wackerman on forevaxena(GEN)
This story starts out like most of my other alternate Rift Resolution stories,
but this time, the Third Season Rift proves to last for over a year, before
diligence, patience, and blind luck give Xena her dream shot - to heal it.
A lot of the information in the story is from the Fifth Season of 'H:TLJ',
as well as from the Third and Fourth Seasons of 'X:WP'.
-
The
Final Frontierby Daniel Wackerman on Forevaxena(GEN)
This story takes place late in the Fifth Season of the TV Series 'Xena: Warrior
Princess'. In fact, it comes after the events in the episode titled 'Amphipolis
Under Siege'. Certain of the Olympians, having failed to kill Eve, have chosen
to try out another way to deal with the consequences of her birth. A way
that the mortals themselves had pointed towards

-
Gabrielle
a jolinarby Daniel Wackerman by Forevaxena(GEN)
Gabrielle returns to her home world, with a *most* unexpected friend and
ally; the sequel to gabrielle's chakram
-
The
Magic Flame by Daniel Wackerman on Forevaxena (GEN)
This story is based upon the first two episodes of the 'Norse Trilogy', titled
'Das Rheingold', and 'Der Ring'. However, I am deliberately going with a
much different ending for the saga, one which will truly earn Gabrielle the
title of 'Sleeping Beauty'
-
Eve
Warrior Bard by Daniel Wackerman on Forevaxena(GEN)
This story centers on Xena's daughter, Eve, and is set some thirty years
in the future. It was, however, written prior to my seeing the last four
episodes of Fifth Season, so may not bear much resemblance to the Eve as
Livia story line, despite some rewriting to bring it into line. In this story,
Eve now has *two* sets of bitter enemies: the Romans, who now regard her
as a traitor, and whatever's left of the Olympians.
-
A
Chance Encounter by Daniel Wackerman on Forevaxena(GEN)
This story takes place in India, following the events in the Fourth Season
'Xena:Warrior Princess' Episode titled 'Devi', but prior to the events in
'Between the Lines'. It involves just what the title implies - and a whole
lot more.
-
Two
Headed Eagleby Daniel Wackerman on Forevaxena(GEN)
Yet *another* Alternate Third Season Rift Resolution story. (For a while
there I just couldn't stay off that subject!) This time Gabrielle flees Xena's
wrath over Solan's death, to the one place she thinks even Xena can't find
her - the distant future, with no way back. (At least it's the distant future
to her.)
-
Prince
Kashta's Way by Daniel Wackerman on forevaxena(GEN)
This story is a sequel of my story, 'A Chance Encounter', and takes place
following the events depicted in the Fifth Season 'Xena: Warrior Princess'
Episode titled 'Fallen Angel'. Keep in mind that Prince Kashta loves Gabrielle
very much, despite the brevity of their time together.
-
Beloved
Slaveby Daniel Stevens on Forevaxena (GEN)
Yet another alternate resolution to the Third Season Rift. This one is based
upon the idea that no matter how angry she is with Gabrielle, Xena still
takes the concept of the Honorable Warrior seriously, and that Gabrielle
is willing to do *anything* to salvage their friendship. This story follows
the Third Season 'Xena: Warrior Princess' episode titled 'Maternal Instincts'.
Gabrielle's poem is from the episode 'Bitter Suite'. The nightmare is from
the Fourth Season 'Hercules: The Legendary Journeys' episode titled 'Armageddon
Now; Part Two'.

Day 4 of Hanukkah. My son and I lit the candles and said some prayers. It
is so cool to see him so interested in it. I don't know if I mentioned to
you guys that my son started going to religious instruction(Jewish). Usually
it is for Katacizim(sp??) but they started it here for all religions. Anyway
to make a long story short, he absolutely LOVES it!! (especially the fact
that he has the best of both worlds. I have a tree and Hanukkah lights.)
Anyway tomorrow is my last update before I go see Janice, so be kind to Barry.
Oh that reminds me- Love your decorations Barry. ;)

Many thanks to ArtChic80 for sending me this
"MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL "
You say you will never forget where you were when you
heard the news On September 11, 2001. Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with
a man who called his wife to say "Good-Bye." I held
his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace
to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is
OK...I am ready to go."
I was with his wife when he called as she fed
breakfast to their children. I held her up as she
tried to understand his words and as she realized he
wasn't coming home that night.
I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a
woman cried out to Me for help. "I have been knocking
on the door of your heart for 50 years!" I said. "Of
course I will show you the way home - only believe in
Me now."
I was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I
took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard
my voice and answered.
I was on all four of those planes, in every seat,
with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were
overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers
there, comforting and assuring them that their faith
has saved them.
I was in Texas, Kansas, and London. I was standing next
to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense
Me?
I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew
every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me for
the first time on the 86th floor.
Some sought Me with their last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the
smoke and flames; "Come to Me... this way... take my
hand." Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.
I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may
not know why, but I do. However, if you were there in
that explosive moment in time would you have reached
for Me?
September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey
for you. But someday your journey will end. And I will
be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may be
found. Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to
go."
I will be in the stairwell of your final moments. God

Retribution:
The Amazon War With Rome by Daniel Wackerman on Taiko's Scrolls of the
Xenaverse (gen)
It doesn't take a prophet or seer to guess how the Amazons would react to
the deaths of Xena and Gabrielle, as portrayed in the Fourth Season Episode
'Ides of March'. I wrote this story prior to seeing the Fifth Season Episode
'Fallen Angel', which explains why Amarice returned to Themiscyra in my story,
instead of staying to help Eli and Joxer (and Callisto!) resurrect our two
soulmate, as on the show.
-
Anastasia by Daniel
Wackerman on Taiko's Scrolls of the Xenaverse (gen)
A certain psycho's long lost and thought to be dead twin sister returns to
the Classical Greco-Roman World, on the 'Retribution' timeline. The Amazons'
War of Retribution against Rome is in full swing, as is the second Roman
Civil War in less than a decade.
-
Remembrance by Daniel
Stevens on Taiko's Scrolls of the Xenaverse (gen)
This story takes place in the 'Xena the Conqueror' timeline, a little over
a century after the events shown in the H:TLJ Fourth Season Episode titled
'Armageddon Now: Part 2'. The primary character is a descendant of Gabrielle's
sister Lila, who bears a lot of resemblance to the Bard of Potidaea - in
more ways than one.

Thursday, December 06, 2001
Long day at work. Just about finished Christmas shopping. Vertigo sent me
this and I thought I would post it:
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF
PLASTER AND STONE.
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
AND ON THE WALL PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBERING THOUGHT
CAME TO MY MIND.
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
SO DARK AND SO DREARY,
THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
NOW I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED
A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.
WAS THIS THE HERO
OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO,
THE FLOOR FOR A BED?
I REALIZED THE FAMILIES
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.
SOON ROUND THE WORLD,
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.
THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.
I COULDN'T HELP WONDER
HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.
THE VERY THOUGHT
BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
AND STARTED TO CRY.
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
"SANTA DON'T CRY,
THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS."
THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
AND SOON DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,
I CONTINUED TO WEEP.
I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,
SO SILENT AND STILL,
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED
FROM THE COLD EVENING'S CHILL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE
ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR
SO WILLING TO FIGHT.
THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."

Coming Homeby Lois Cloarec
Hart on MaryD's site. (Alt / Uber)
Winner of a Swolen Bud Award. Here's their summary:
Jan has been married for more than a decade to Rob, a wonderful and understanding
former pilot stricken with MS, when Terry, the neighborhood letter carrier,
unexpectedly enters their lives. The friendship that results is an incredibly
rewarding one for all three of them -- which makes it all the more awful
when Terry realizes that she's fallen in love with Jan and Jan's confused
feelings prompt her to reexamine her sexual orientation. As the women's
