Right.
Great things to read! (Books/Comics/Fanfic)
So. I read fanfic in a lot of fandoms. How much in either fandom, that varies... But I do read now and then in most of them. :-) The first fandom where I really started to get into fanfics was... the Xena-fandom. I've read A TON of fanfics in this fandom. Femme-slash mostly, but also slash and het. I have a few favorites that I go back to with regularity. And this? This is one of those. It is.. HILARIOUS! Not to mention sweet... and very sexy to. ;-)
It's about Joxer... and Ares God of War. Now, for those not in the fandom, I'll give you a photo of each character so you have a mental image of these two. ;-) (Both clickable for bigger, of course!)
Ares, God of War:
Joxer:
Now in the show Ares was just that. God of War. The character wanted chaos and war. Had warlords he favored. Made sure kingdoms fought. Etc, etc... He was a bad guy most of the time... but had a soft spot for Xena and her friends and at times.... helped them to. And got helped by them as well, when he ended up in trouble... They had a strange love/hate relationship to Ares. Sometimes bad guy, sometimes good guy... and sometimes just a pain in the ass with all his wars... But one thing never changed. Ares was dangerous. VERY dangerous... He was a God. And he was War.
And then there was Joxer... Joxer wanted to be one of Ares favored warriors... And liked to pretend he was to. But. He wasn't. Joxer was the comedic relief in the show. He was clumsy and failed pretty much with everything he did in some lol-worthy way. He had a HUGE heart though... and a strange bravery. Even though he was scared as FUCK most of the time, he still stood up for his friends and tried to help them. Even succeeded at times, mostly by luck. But he always tried. Bravery of a lion, they said... but no skill what so ever.
Now in this fic... Not only do they pair these two up... they genderbend one of them to. X-D
Ares is having a tough time... and he complains to his family. His sisters... That is, Aphrodite and Athena. Godesses... Female godesses... Also quite dangerous when they set their mind on something. They gets feed up with their brother... and decidedes to teach him a lesson... and turn him into a woman.
So, all of a sudden... War is not a man. War is a woman. Hilarity ensues where Ares at first is quite happy with the addition to her/his body (woo... boobs...cool...) and then quite horrified with the loss of parts.... (holy shit! my cock is gone! *faints*)
I won't say anything more, but to say a lot of hilarity ensues as Ares tries to deal with troublesome warlords who don't like to be bossed around by women, gods or not.... The not so happy time of the month... exploring her new body... and trying to get back at her sisters.... And then there is Joxer... and his strange gifts to her various temples... and his prayers to his favorite godess...
It is a wonderful little story. And I do return to it a lot. Even printed it out so I wouldn't lose it. Language might not be the best here and there, but... it is STILL so good! Such a wonderful feeling in the entire story.
When it comes to Xena fanfic, this is one of those fanfic I recommend with all my love of said fandom. It is absolutly wonderful. A real feel good story.
