**MOMENT OF COMFORT (A) by Curiositee
This latest installment in Curiositee's MOMENTS SERIES is a very moving, emotional epilogue to the episode A FAMILY AFFAIR which finds the warrior and bard still staying with Gabrielle's family as the two try to come to grips with recent events. For Gabrielle it's a time for recollections as she thinks back on the little girl she once was and the dreamer who once followed an infamous ex-warlord in search of adventure never suspecting the incredible love and incredible heartache she would eventually experience on that new road. For Xena it's a time of emotional turmoil as she struggles to maintain her composure around the bard's family despite a near-desperate need to reconnect with her beloved soulmate. Curiositee does a terrific job here of capturing the intensity of emotions between these two women letting us feel their love, their passion and their need for one another. This is a very nicely written, sensitive portrayal that comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - 10 pgs., 7/21/99
