Gabrielle's Fable Series by Cassandra and Bik (G)
Fandom: XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS
Pairing: Xena/Gabrielle
Length: 81,781 words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: archived at The Royal Academy of Bards
Why this must be read:
In time of ancient Gods, Warlords and Kings, a land in turmoil cried for a hero. She was Aquila, a mighty chicken forged in the heat of battle. The power, the passion, the danger -- her courage will change the world.
Wait, what? OK, the premise of these stories is Gabrielle writing a series of fables based on her life with Xena. And as we all know, fables must have animals for main characters... yes, Gabrielle casts herself and Xena as chickens, Aquila and Billie, who, along with their friend Ergo the horse, travel the world righting wrongs. Each story is framed by scenes of Gabrielle and Xena interacting (well, flirting) before we launch into the story of the warrior fowl.
No, this is no more cracktacular than the show (considering that in the ACTUAL CANON, various characters were turned into barnyard animals MORE THAN ONCE), really, and it's actually rather sweet. As well as extremely silly -- full of more puns than you can shake your tailfeathers at!
New Friends
Sometimes You Get the Bear
Ergo's Tale
A Dazed Tale
The Rabbit and the Hawk
Revenge of the Hawk
A Day at the Fair... and what it leads to
Pecking Order, or, Hoist on Her Own Petard
Interlude
Pei Back, or, Two Chickens in a Basket
Life is a Prairie
