Flow of Blood

Summary:

Emma Perkins, once known as "Destroyer of Nations," tries to redeem herself by fighting for the greater good. On her quest, she meets Paul Matthews, a bard from the village of Hatchetfield. Together, they take down some of the world's most formidable opponents, even the gods.

Notes:

So, I've been rewatching "Xena," and the idea just popped into my head. Also, "Forever and Always" has been giving me some major Dark!Emma vibes, so I talked about it with Nervy and now I'm just putting it up here.

CHARACTER ALIGNMENTS
- Emma Perkins (Lauren Lopez) as Xena
- Paul Matthews (Jon Matteson) as Gabrielle

And mentions of...
- Jane Perkins (Jaime Lyn Beatty) and Tom Houston (Dylan Saunders) doubling as Borias

As for Ares, he'll appear, but instead of Kevin Smith, he'll be portrayed by Brian Holden (cast mainly because of his portrayal of Juinor in Starship, which is why the character is tagged).

I'll add more as time goes on.

I'm not going to do every episode of Xena, but I will do important ones, like the ones during the "Rift" storyline and the one during the storyline about Xena's daughter, Eve.

I hope you enjoy (I never know how to end these notes).
