BRIDGE by Claire Withercross
The first of a series chronicling Xena's thoughts from the point she decided to abandon her life as a warlord, this first entry has the warrior sensing the fear in a town she visits and then considering the turning point she's come to in her life as she sits on a bridge.

HOLLOW by Claire Withercross - [Alt]
Bittersweet, this sixth entry in the RANDOM THOUGHTS SERIES marks a crossroads of sorts for the relationship as Xena and Gabrielle take their partnership to a new level but for the warrior an emptiness remains inside. This one is sweet and funny and sad all at once. - 3 pgs., 5/8/00

IN THE NAME OF LOVE by Claire Withercross - [Alt]
Set prior to the third season, this entertaining little story was Claire's first-ever foray into Xena fanfic. Feeling increasingly apprehensive while traveling with Gabrielle through a forest, the warrior is less than pleased when an old nemesis makes an appearance offering a truce and asking to travel with them. During the days that follow, Xena is plagued by troubling thoughts, including the fear that she may hurt the person she loves above all else. Something is not right and the warrior is certain whatever it is has to do with her former nemesis. The story touches upon many of the familiar themes from seasons 1-2 - Xena's guilt over her past, revenge, redemption and the power of love. Nicely written. - 19 pgs., 6/18/00

LIVING WITH THE BIG LIE by Claire Withercross
This second entry in the RANDOM THOUGHTS SERIES takes place shortly after Xena picks up a little blonde tag along and features a decidedly amusing description of the warrior's efforts to deal with a highly enthusiastic new partner who seems to be a magnet for trouble. VERY cute with some insightful thoughts by the warrior as well. DO NOT MISS! - 6 pgs., 5/8/00

Deceptively simple, this latest entry in Claire's RANDOM THOUGHTS SERIES is gonna catch you by surprise.

DO NOT MISS! - 3 pgs., 5/8/00

MADE AGAIN by Claire Withercross - [Alt]
