Summary
After falling deathly ill, given her rite of caste and queenhood to Xena and later being miraculously resurrected and heald by the mixture Xena had given her, Gabrielle insists that dispite Xena's objections, Xena should still remain queen. Not liking the idea, Xena tells her that the title rightfully belongs to Gabrielle. After learning of the option for them both to rule as queen's together, Xena gives in and agrees to the compromise. However the requirements for two women becoming co-queens of the Amazons turns out to involve much more than what Gabrielle was expecting. As Xena notices that their current challenges are far from the only thing that's weighing on Gabrielle's mind.

Summary
In Sins of the Past, Gabrielle's father says the Poteidaians have "heard about" Xena, which suggests she never conquered Poteidaia when she was taking over towns in the area; maybe she didn't see them as a threat, or maybe they voluntarily sent tribute, but she seems to have bypassed them in her march. This story takes place in an alternate history where Xena did conquer Poteidaia, thus meeting Gabrielle ten years earlier. Fans (and the show) have often speculated about what path Xena's life would've taken if she'd met Gabi in her formative years and this is my take on that possibility. There's no hint of romance, since Gabi's just a kid (I figure Gabi's about 9 or 10 years old here and Xena is 17 or 18), but there's definitely a connection between them. We never got to see the younger version of Gabi (or the pre-warlord version of Xena) on the show, so I hope I made their "voices" sound authentic.

Summary
Xena and Gabrielle grow up together as best friends until one day Gabrielle's village is attacked by a warlord. Xena tries desperately to protect Gabrielle but ultimately fails. Xena will not stop believing that Gabrielle is alive, and she hunts for her friend. Along Xena's journey, things become darker and lead her farther from Gabrielle and the memories.
Meanwhile, Gabrielle is taken into slavery but it isn't for some time before her luck comes back. She meets a very caring master, who sends her away to be schooled as a bard. Later, Gabrielle befriends a very unusual girl, and the girl claims to be an Amazon. It isn't long before Gabrielle discovers how real the Amazons are, and that she's fated to be more than just a slave.

Summary
I put out a hand and offered, “Good to meet you, Joxer.” We both gave a healthy squeeze of the other’s forearm, and our eyes met for the second time. His twinkled above a huge, slightly crooked smile, and I found myself smiling back.

Summary
There’s something else she feels she needs to disclose. A half-truth, the other half hidden safely with Xena, where she hopes he will never find it. “Perdicus?” she says, as though she doesn’t already have his full attention. “I… I’ve never been with a man before.” This is true. “Have you? Been with women?”
She’s surprised by her own jealousy when he explains, “Well, I was - I was a soldier.” She’s even more surprised by her relief. She thinks about Xena, who was also a soldier, and Xena’s hands on her body, touching her expertly, and she says, “I guess one of us should be good at it.”

Summary
For his part, Perdicus laughed when Gabrielle asked if he wanted to go to Poteidaia for the wedding.
“Where else would we go?” he asked. Again, Gabrielle blushed, and he read her instantly, laughing again, this time with affection plain in his voice. “Same old Gabrielle. We can wait a few days to get home, can’t we? See our families and have them with us? You wouldn’t want us to start our life together on the road, anyway.”
