Xena: Beloved Wife (X/G)

Beautiful relationship. Beautiful song. Vid features some of the best "subtexty" dialogue from Our Girls.

In case the dialogue is unclear, here is a transcript.

"A life of journeying has brought you to the farthest lands, to the very edges of the earth . . . "

"You're not much for girl talk are you? Of course, you're not like most girls!"

"Do you ever miss your family?"
"Not as much when I'm with you."

"For me, our friendship binds us closer than blood ever could."

"What's this for?"
"Just for being you."
"Uh-huh."

"You're part of my heart."

"I love you."

"I'm a part of you. I want it to be like that forever."

"We're soul mates."

"Happy Solstice."
"Oh. I don't have a gift for you."
"Gabrielle, you are a gift to me."

"Xena."

"On the other hand, I could just stop bathing and wear a smelly wolfskin. That'd turn 'em off."
"That's true. Of course, you'd also be traveling alone."

"You brought out the best in me."

"Together. For eternity."
"Yeah."

"Xena."

"I'll love you forever."

"There's a moment when I look at you and no speech ["Gabri . . . "] is left in me. My tongue breaks. Then fire races under my skin, and I tremble . . . and grow pale, for I am dying of such love, or so it seems to me."

"What do you think, Gabrielle?"

"Oh, Gabrielle, come here. Give me your hand. No, no, here."

"Looks like you got your daughter back."
"No. We got our daughter back."

"No! Wake up! Please. Please, wake up."

"Gabrielle!"

"You're my whole life, Xena. I won't lose you."
"You won't lose me."

"And to the place where I'll always remain. Your heart."

"Where you go, I'm at your side."
"I knew you'd say that."

Does anyone know which episode they use the Natalie Merhant song, "Carnival" in the love scene?

[trekintandem]

@jameswolney I have no idea, sorry.

[trekintandem]

@jameswolney "Antony and Cleopatra"?

One of the most touching, beautifully sequenced and poignant video vignettes of this extraordinary and memorable couple, yet! Thank you for allowing us another opportunity to remember the tender and enduring essence of this amazing Teledrama Supercouple. Well done!

[trekintandem]

@chrysm6 Thank you very much! Feedback means a lot to me and yours was wonderfully kind! Very glad you enjoyed the vid.

This is an amazing video. You picked a wonderful song sang by a sultry artist IMHO. The images and sound clips you picked like 03:22 Gab on her knees "i renounce my life" as she destroys the loom, and the Sappho poem set in the background were appropriate and made the entire video moving. Well done, it makes me tear up every time. <3

@wishingstar09 Thank you for the wonderful comment. I'm glad the video meant so much to you. I also love how Merchant's voice breaks on that line you quoted. Very moving. I'm delighted to meet another Xena fan. The show is a great solace to me as well, as is making Xena fan vids! :-D I really like your X/G background!

My favorite show forever with a beautiful song with such a beautiful lyrics that touches deep in my soul. I've got goosebumps when Natalie Merchant sings the words "A depth so DEEP" at 3:14 , it makes me cry all over again.

Love Xena and Gabrielle my favorite couple forever and ever in life and after life, soulmates forever.

Thank you Lucy & Renee for everything. It makes my life a lot easier just by watching XWP.

Thanks 4 upload this vid. I have a b/g of Xena & Gab on my channel. :)
