Scratching Post

I still exist! I... just don't exist here on this specific platform very often.

I've been concentrating on writing my original stuff, but stalled out a bit right around the time HC Bingo came around for the year, so you can see what happened there. Eventually, though, I realized I was using those stories to stall from what I really should have been working on. So, here is everything that was pending (which constitutes a bingo, btw) in hopes it gets my ass in gear again:

My mind is apparently a strange, weird place. After how many years of not writing in this fandom, it decided I needed to get this out of my system. Go fig.

Title: Rite of Family
Genre: Xena (I know, shocked me too)
Season/Spoilers: After “To Helicon and Back”
Rating: PG, slight subtext if you want to see it.
Author’s Notes: Those who know me know I haven’t written Xena fic in a long time. They also know why. This came to me and I decided to write it. It was originally going to be a drabble, but ended up at 400 words instead. Um, quadruple drabble?
Disclaimer: I don’t own them, people with a lot of money do. I’m just borrowing them to play and making no profit from this.
