We’d taken my Land Rover, because the Corvette was allergic to horses.

Heh...truer words have not been spoken about Brian and his beloved cockmobile.

I really enjoyed this chapter even though I have absolutely no knowledge of Xena/Gabrielle beyond, well, what you've written in your bottle!fic. I quite enjoyed this little diversion, although really any xie fic is good fic. It got surprisingly a bit more angsty than I would have expected for something like this, but it was all good in the end. Can't wait to see what you cook up in the next series. :)
