Two times love screwed Discord up and one time it didn't. Discord/Deimos.

The three men in Discord's life all touch her in different ways, and affection from her rival Deimos is the most baffling of all. Discord/Deimos.

Ares angrily asks Aphrodite to remove the love spell she cast on Discord and Deimos.

Deimos sure is something, but he's nothing like his brother Phobos. The Olympians all comment on how different the twin Gods of Fear are.

Discord and Deimos fight over who gets to keep a phoenix egg, and an irritated Aphrodite is caught in the middle.

Iolaus sobered. "Remember that fight a few days ago? The bandits? The one that grazed you was using some sort of poison on his blade." "Well...that explains why I feel weak," Hercules admitted. "But you...Iolaus, you look like a bad day in Tartarus." CHARACTERS: Hercules, Iolaus.

In Part 2, Kirra meets a strange new cast of characters who threaten her chance to warn Hercules of Hera. On the run, her friendship with Tauthé is tested. While Hercules battles the Enforcer in Thebes, Iolaus battles his past and the depths of Tartarus, all as the girl who would have been a princess comes face to face with a Queen and the seeds of her true destiny.

"Hesfie, do you know one reason I married you?" Aphrodite's voice was calm...too calm. "Because you love me?" "Because I knew you had no PINK in your forge!" Aphrodite shrieked. "And if you ever EVER plan on touching me again, you'll get this changed and NOW! Otherwise, I'll open the biggest can of whoop-ass you've ever seen and it'll have YOUR name on it!"

Iphicles watched as the hunter nimbly worked his way through the crowd towards his partner. If those two don't recognize what's in front of them soon, I swear I'm getting Jason to help me pound some sense into them. The Corinthian king suddenly smiled. That might actually be fun. CHARACTERS: Iolaus, Hercules, Jason, Iphicles, Hestia

"Jason said a lot of people came," Iolaus recalled. Hercules laughed again. "Yeah, including half the women in Greece," he teased. "All sobbing and weeping. Even Autolycus was impressed." CHARACTERS: Iolaus, Jason, Hercules

"Herc, you remember what you told me about walking down this road? And maybe someday finding a place where you'd want to stop?" Iolaus asked. When the demigod nodded, he wearily smiled. "I haven't found that place either." CHARACTERS: Iolaus, Hercules

"So explain to me why my sweet-natured daughter, Alcmene, married a traveling bard and is never around and I have to contend with Lilith...the feisty one." CHARACTERS: Iolaus

Catching his partner's eyes, Hercules mouthed "mighty one" with a teasing glint in his eyes. He started to say something when he caught the warning look Alcmene shot him. Then she gave a similar look to Hades who had covered his mouth with one dark-gloved hand. CHARACTERS: Iolaus, Alcmene, Hercules, Hades, Apollo.

Hercules watched in confusion as Iolaus scrambled to his feet and disappeared into the kitchen. He returned in a few moments carrying a wineskin. "I need something stronger than water for this," he muttered as he sat back down. CHARACTERS: Hercules, Iolaus

Hades shivered at the sight of the pink and gold energy left from the Goddess of Love's disappearance. He spun around, shaking his head. 'Who knew that 'Dite could gamble that effectively' WARNING: M/M sexual encounter. CHARACTERS: Hercules, Iolaus, Aphrodite, Hades, Ares, Hera, Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, Hermes, Hesphaestus, Apollo.

Hercules looked down at Iolaus' bloody arm. "Iolaus! You were just supposed to cut your arm! Not slash it open almost to the bone!" "Now you tell me," Iolaus groaned. WARNING - Scene with domestic violence against a child. CHARACTERS: Hercules, Iolaus, Alcmene, Skouros, Erythia

"Maybe if we move the wagon under the trees and push the forge over there...we could tie a rope around the forge and loop it over one of the branches...and lift the forge into the wagon." "Iolaus, the nearest tree is over 200 yards away," Dimitrius pointed out. "Move into town!" WARNING: M/M story. Characters: Hercules, Iolaus, Jason, Medea, Alcmene.

"A slight accident," Alcemene answered glancing around the kitchen. "Just like this was a slight accident." The three men looked around the kitchen. "Mother, this wasn't a slight accident," Hercules shook his head. "It was an unmitigated disaster," Iphicles added. Characters: Hercules, Iolaus, Iphicles, Jason, Alcmene

"I don't suppose you're going to be reasonable and tell me where my nephew and his supporters are, now are you?" Pellas idly asked. "No, I don't suppose I will," Iolaus managed to answer. WARNING: M/M - Inference of non-consensual sex/rape Characters: Hercules, Iolaus, Jason, Medea

"Hercules is younger than either of us. So how is it, he tells US what to do?" Iolaus' blue eyes twinkled in amusement. "Ummm...'cause he's bigger than us?" Characters: Hercules, Iphicles, Iolaus, Alcmene, Aphrodite, Zeus

Nikolos frowned. "Don't be a fool. You can't beat us all. With you as our prisoner, Jason will come out of hiding." Iolaus harshly laughed. "Then you don't know Jason at all. He won't betray himself or Corinth for me...or for anyone." Implied M/M & M/F Characters: Hercules, Iolaus, Jason, Alcmene, Medea.

"You know what gets me?" Jason angrily muttered. "Iolaus. Sitting over there as petted and cossetted as a Prince of Egypt while we're killing ourselves!" Characters: Alcmene, Hercules, Iolaus, Jason.

"I want to go home," Iolaus mumbled. "Sounds like a plan," Hercules admitted after a moment. They looked at Jason. He had brought them to Sanctuary. He would lead them out. Characters: Hercules, Iolaus, Alcmene & Jason. SEQUEL TO A SEASON TOO LATE

A SEASON TOO LATE "You listen to me and you listen to me good," Xena hissed. "The only reason you're even breathing right now is because I don't want to fight either Iolaus or Hercules over avenging your death. But if you ever ever talk to Hercules like that again...or talk about Iolaus like that again in my presence, you'll have a very unfortunate...and fatal accident."

Hesphaestus looked at the demigod. "Hercules. Should I rescue Hermes?" His dark eyes twinkled. "No," Hercules promptly replied. Hesphaestus nodded. "My thought, too." He briefly smiled then disappeared.
