INTERVIEWER: “Renee, what do you think that Gabrielle saw in Xena that made her want to leave everything she knew behind?”
RENEE: “You know, it’s what I still see in Lucy. And she can say she’s not Xena and many ways she’s not.
*to Lucy*
Don’t roll your eyes.
*back to the interviewer*
But she has a leader in her. She’s strong. It’s just a quality that I admire in women, in strong women. So I can definitely see how Gabrielle just said, ‘Oh, that’s my ticket. That is who I want to be like.’ So there’s definitely that quality in me that just says I admire Lucy and all that she does. Especially with the environment.”
LUCY: “I’m a very reluctant leader. I’ll only do it if nobody else will step up. I’ll do whatever. But um, and the other question is, why did Xena take her along? She said ‘I’m an outsider in my own home, take me.’ And it was that being an outsider. We all feel like we’re slightly fraudulent, you know? Yeah, I think that’s part of human nature. So something in her appeal made Xena pull her up on the back of a horse and take her away from her home and everything she ever knew. To a world of adventure and danger. Also, you don’t know what’s going on in the mind of the strong, silent one unless you have the sounding board of the best friend.”
I’ve always said this. I’ve always said it’s the feeling of being an outsider that is what brought them together. I mean obviously, Xena, herself. The origin of her name in Greek is “stranger”. She was seeking a sort of companionship without recognizing that she was. And as for Gabrielle - she just wanted to get away from the boring conservative lifestyle that she led in Potidaea.
But it is them being outsiders that is what made them find that ‘home’ in each other. They’re a found family.

Guys. Xena's intro versus Merlin's intro. Why is there no crossover fic Merlin Xena? Yeah, sure, one's old Greek Antiquity, the other is early British Middle Age, so what, it's fiction. I wanna see how Xena would react to Merlin and what the OG Blonde & Brunette OTP would think of their legendary heirs...
"In a time of ancient gods, warlords and kings, a land in turmoil cried out for a hero. She was Xena, a mighty princess forged in the heat of battle. The power, the passion, the danger. Her courage will change the world!"
"In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy. His name: Merlin."

Hey Xenites. I am posting this chapter today and super excited about where things go from here. I am so sorry it’s been such a long time coming, I’ve just been going through a lot lately but I’m excited to update again soon, hopefully tonight. I hope that you enjoy this and thank you so much for all of your support!! Anyways let me know if you are still enjoying this! I really love to see your comments, they truly make my day! <3
“Gabrielle, it’s going to be ok. I promise. How about you stay with me for a while, that way if he even so much as dares to come near you, we’ll kick him where it hurts together?” Xena asked as she rubbed soothing circles on the dancers back.
Gabrielle looked up at her with tears in her eyes. “A-are you sure that’s ok Xena? I wouldn’t want to impose…”
But Xena gently wiped Gabrielle’s tear stained cheeks. “Of course it’s ok, your always welcome in my home Gabrielle.”
Gabrielle tried to hold back a blush at that, but soon realised that red would colour her cheeks and ears no matter weather she wanted it too or not around Xena.
When they got back to Xena’s place they ordered take out and watched some movies to try take Gabrielles mind off of the call. After she had fallen asleep quite late, Xena had carried her to her bed and tucked her in, opting to sleep close by on her couch so as not to push her into anything she hadn’t asked for yet, but when Gabrielle had stirred at 1 am, asking for Xena, she had gladly obliged as she put an arm around her and snuggled into the woman she loved.
The next morning Xena had woken up to find Gabrielle had made her breakfast in bed to thank her for allowing her to stay over.
Xena had grinned at the special treatment and said that she was welcome always, and when Gabrielle had insisted that she needed to go to work despite everything, she had made sure to drop her off and had offered as well to pick her up after work.
The whole time Xena was out on her patrol she couldn’t help but to feel worried about Gabrielle. What if Lila’s partner knew where she worked? What if he kidnapped her or worse? Xena should be there to make sure that didn’t happen.
But at the same time she wanted to respect Gabrielles wishes and she knew that she shouldn’t smother her. Not to mention the fact that she was clearly able to take care of herself. But Xena was in love with her, so not being worried, was simply not a possibility right now.
When Xena had gotten back from her patrol and had made the coffee she so desperately needed, Cyrene had noticed her mood and came up to speak to her.
“What’s up my warrior girl?” She asked, and Xena felt a little spaced out at the comment, as if the word warrior had somehow meant something to her that she couldn’t quite place.
“Just worried about Gabrielle. She’s going through a lot right now and I wish I could just do something about it. But I have to respect her wishes.”
Cyrene nodded and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
“It’s always tough being a cop and knowing that you could fix a situation, but also not wanting to overstep with the people you love. I hear you sweetie, but I’m sure everything will workout for the best and if anything does happen, I’m positive you’ll be able to help.”
Xena tried to manage a smile, she knew that Cyrene was probably right, but she still couldn’t help being concerned.
It made her wish that she was in a different time, where being a, as Cyrene had called it, warrior was the Norm and she could just go find this douche bag and make him back off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gabrielle had been super busy that day, as was normal for the school holiday rush, but she had of course welcomed the work that took her mind off of Drake’s call.
However when it had come time to head home… we’ll back to Xena’s place, Gabrielle stiffened as she picked up her phone when it once again rang, hoping that it was just Xena.
But it wasn’t Xena. It was Drake.
“Hi there little mouse. I have a message for you and I’m pretty sure you will want to hear it. I have the one you love so much and I don’t plan on letting her go without you doing something for me first.”
Gabrielles heart sped up it’s pace in her chest as she tried to control her breathing.
“Drake if you hurst a hair on Xena’s head I swear I’ll-“
But the man just laughed.
“Now now little mouse, I won’t her your love, just as long as you come to meet me and do whatever I want you to. Than you have my word that I will let her go.”
Gabrielle tensed at that but tried to hold her resolve. She would do anything to save Xena, even if that meant that she would be harmed herself.
“Ok, just tell me where to go and I’ll be there.”
Drake laughed again as he gave her the address and Gabrielle made hast.
When her bud had arrived at the correct street, there was at least a five minute walk before she would get to her destination.
She frantically looked around, hoping that she would find something to help her in the fight she knew was coming, and when she saw a long piece of branch that had fallen from a tree, she quickly picked it up hoping that her apparent skill with a staff would kick in when she needed it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as Xena had finished up her day shift, she made her way straight to Gabrielles studio to pick her up from work. But when she found the studio all locked up she panicked.
‘It’s probably fine. She probably just finished early and went home or to my place first.’ Xena tried to calm her racing thoughts as she jumped back in her car and drive to Gabrielles apartment.
She wasn’t there.
Now Xena was getting really concerned and when she got to her own flat and realised that Gabrielle wasn’t there either she really began to panic.
Where would she go? What if she was being hurt or worse by Lila’s partner?!!
Xena began to drive around the town hopelessly looking for her love but she didn’t know where to look. If she was right about her hunch and Drake had gotten to her, she had no idea where he would have gone.
Just as Xena parked on the side of the ride and punched her wheel in frustration, causing the vehicle to beep and pedestrians to quickly shuffle away in fear, she heard her phone ding.
Of course she had tried calling Gabrielle, but she hadn’t been able to get through, but now as she opened up her phone with bated breath, she only needed to read the text once to know exactly what she needed to do.
‘Help east docks.’ Is all it said.
Xena put her sirens on and sped as fast as she could in the direction of Gabrielle.

Just saw this post talking about the couples that made the biggest F/F impact in their respective “genres?”
Like Xabrielle for live-action
HaruMichi for anime
Korrasami for Cartoons (Rupphire got a mention for their broader pda, but Korrasami premiered first and was more “controversial” among haters)
And Shiara for video games
Really made me realize how all four of these helped me to realize my sexuality without me even realizing it
For me specifically, Shiara (Femshep X Liara) had such an impact. Femshep for starting to crack my egg and then their romance, which spanned all three games helping me understand my sexuality.
But all are definitely worthy, almost legendary couples.

Three ships: Buddie (Buck/Eddie - 911) takes up a lot of my mental energy. Clobble (Clank/Bobble - Disney Fairies) are underrated heroes. Xabrielle (Xena/Gabrielle - Xena) are the couple I needed as a kid but I’m only now finding them.
Currently reading: Going through the scripts we’re producing at work: Cowgirl Up by Anna Chatterton, The F Word by Bianca Miranda and Keshia Cheesman, Bombay Black by Anosh Irani, and Teenage Dick by Mike Lew. 
Currently watching: Xena (Just starting Season 3), Dimension 20 (Season 5 - Crown of Candy), Only Murders In the Building (slowly working through Season 2). 
Currently craving: A nice cool shower.

Suppose I Want To Live The Rest Of My Afterlife? (Hey, How About We Make Things Not Easy!)
read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/QKnLhCZ
by Xabrielle (xabbynip09)
When an eighteen-year-old woman died, she wasn't expecting to see a blue hair goddess named Aqua, who gives her some choices; start over as a baby, go to Heaven to lead a boring afterlife, or reincarnate with her body and memory intact all while saving the world from the demon lord. While our fellow protagonist doesn't remember anything besides her death, she has a gut feeling that this is one of those overused genres. So, instead of reincarnating and saving the world, she opts to lead a boring afterlife. However, Aqua wasn't even prepared for someone like her to choose that option! In a panic, she not only gave her some powers that only help to live out her afterlife, but she also booted her into her realm of the afterlife.
With that done, she can relax and enjoy her afterlife... except that her realm looks pretty basic and boring. However, the only skill she can use is to travel to different universes; a skill Aqua accidentally gave her. At first, she thought that this travel skill is simple, but in reality, she meets people she thought she wouldn't meet in her afterlife.
