    Summary

    She’d had mere moments, where Autolycus had had days. And he’d been there in the moment in the spirit realm when Xena kissed her, and time had stopped and the earth had fallen away. He’d felt that, from Xena’s side.

    Why did you kiss me? The question had been burning loops in her mind ever since.

    ----

    A slow-burn romantic semi-comedy about two useless friends sharing a kiss and then panicking about it for weeks.

    Begins with a prologue set the morning after episode s2:e13, The Quest, just before the start of A Necessary Evil. The rest of the story then begins about a month later (but definitely before ADITL).

    (I’m using the canonical ‘kiss’ in The Quest as a starting point, but messing with canon a wee bit, since Aphrodite gets involved and technically we hadn’t met her in the Xenaverse yet. But she wrote herself into my story, I was hardly going to say no.)

    Summary

    “So serious,” Xena whispered. “I remember you smiling more.”
    Gabrielle bit her lip, trying to ignore the stinging pain in her chest.
    “That was before,” was all she could say.
    ---

    Starting during s05e02, Chakram, Gabrielle and Xena begin to deal with the tumultuous events of Ides of March and beyond.

    This and other stories in this series have chapters that start during episodes: I'll try and be as clear as I can about where and when.
    Note that future chapters (and stories) will go to some darker places. I'm writing Xena and Gabrielle as the flawed, wonderful, messy humans they are; they'll fight, they'll make up, there will be sex, occasional swearing, mistakes, tears, and joy.

    Series title is a quote from a Sappho translation.
