    Summary

    Gabrielle’s eyes squeeze shut in a silent plea, Sweet Aphrodite, what am I to do? And when they blink slowly open again she sees it on the desk beside her writing box, in a spare ink pot filled hastily with water - a single, unassuming rose. Her fingers are at the stem before she can register what she’s doing, and this time there’s no hesitation.

    Or: what if the playwright Gabrielle kept the rose tossed at her feet by the Empress of Rome?

    Summary

    Gabrielle drifted off to the sound of a chuckle, and a hand stroking softly over her hair, and woke in the moonlight to Xena shaking her by the arms, leaning over her and telling her desperately to wake up.

    “Thank the gods,” Xena breathed, and clutched her so close that she had trouble breathing for a moment.

    Summary

    Between everyday dilemmas of back-and-forth business tosses and overflowing emails, fashion mogul Kafka proves to be quite the elusive—and annoying, competition. Dressed in dry disdain and functioning off of three shots of espresso, Himeko spends half, if not most of the time, juggling between wanting to strangle Kafka or kiss her.

    Summary

    “This better not be a trap, Kafka.”

    “Have I done anything to harm you?” Comes her smooth reply as magenta eyes stare deep into her golden ones. Himeko shakes her head and subtly pulls her long coat a little tighter around her body.

    “Not yet.”

    or: In midst of the chaos of the universe, two very lonely souls find one another.
