Fics like No light without the dark

“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.
