Desperate for a way to get Howard to leave her alone, Xena tries another plan. It backfires in the best way possible.

Upon landing, Bellamy realised that in order to establish himself as Leader, he had to deal with Clarke. Killing her would incite a rebellion, so he made a new plan. He'd break her spirit, make her obey and the others would fall in line. Able to recognise the signs of abuse, Lexa keeps Clarke safe in Polis and tries to help her come back to herself.

This is a bonus chapter to my story called "Cradle of Love". For Cate Blanchett x Rooney Mara lovers!

The thought that Clarke wants this—wants her, wants them—is too much. When they do break apart for a few quiet, hesitant breaths, Lexa realizes that she is crying after all. The tears spill in hot tracks down her cheeks, and she makes no effort to stop them. Despite what Titus has said, despite her duty to her people, even Heda cannot run away from this. (3.07 fix, no death).

X&G "If we're destined to die in this vision," she continued softly, "I'll do it loving you."

Domino effect: The cumulative effect produced when one event sets off a chain of similar events. You're pretty sure that kiss at your wedding set things into motion. Maybe it was sooner. You're not really sure, but, whatever started it, you've fallen for Xena. Hard. Or: The one where Gabrielle realizes how her feelings for Xena grew over time, and she seeks Aphrodite

We thought we'd sometimes seen Xena in a time before Gabrielle entered her life (a time, oh, ten years ago), but true soul mates can never be separated. What if Gabrielle was always with Xena, even when she was a warlord? The ancient Greek concept of daimons offers a unique way to explore that possibility. Full summary inside. Chapters set in S3&S6 too. Final chap added 6.17.14.

First time story with a little teasing and a lot of tenderness.
