Summary
She’d had mere moments, where Autolycus had had days. And he’d been there in the moment in the spirit realm when Xena kissed her, and time had stopped and the earth had fallen away. He’d felt that, from Xena’s side.
Why did you kiss me? The question had been burning loops in her mind ever since.
----
A slow-burn romantic semi-comedy about two useless friends sharing a kiss and then panicking about it for weeks.
Begins with a prologue set the morning after episode s2:e13, The Quest, just before the start of A Necessary Evil. The rest of the story then begins about a month later (but definitely before ADITL).
(I’m using the canonical ‘kiss’ in The Quest as a starting point, but messing with canon a wee bit, since Aphrodite gets involved and technically we hadn’t met her in the Xenaverse yet. But she wrote herself into my story, I was hardly going to say no.)

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.
--
Post "Is There a Doctor in the House?", Gabrielle is battered and bruised, and Xena's having nightmares.

Summary
It's the finale of the first season, and perhaps true love's kiss will break the curse much sooner than we expect.

Summary
Mira remembered hearing something once about a so-called honeymoon phase.
Did she know anything real about it? Fuck, no. Because while Zoey was rambling on about it — literally grinding down on Mira’s thigh on the couch one night after Rumi had already gone to bed — Mira had been far more invested in trying to get her mouth on Zoey’s tits through her hoodie.
OR
After the bathhouse, everything changed. Maybe just not in the way they’d hoped.
