This is an Ares and Xena romance. Events brought on by a summer storm force Xena to deal with her feelings for the god of war. Takes place a few months after Path of Vengeance. In my world AFIN does not exist. Reviews and criticism are always appreciated. However, don't waste you time reviewing if you only comment to denigrate the pairing. Disclaimer: Don't own 'em.

Xena and Gabrielle have a chance encounter with Ares and a barmaid.

Ares/Xena - Twenty years after Xena's death, Ares laments the loss of his beloved. One shot.
