Actually, I suspect that that's why there isn't a lot more Xena/Borias fanfic. Because the canon pretty much gives X/B shippers everything they could have wanted (unless of course they wanted a happy ending image). It's a tragic story, to be sure, but one that feels... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (LadyRowanD) http://xena.yuku.com/sreply/425081 Sat, 09 Aug 2008 14:38:13 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: The Xena/Borias Squee Thread ]]> http://xena.yuku.com/reply/425055/t/The-Xena-Borias-Squee-Thread.html#reply-425055 LadyRowanD wrote:

That whole part of the flashbacks in PI -- Borias being killed while Xena is giving birth, Xena showing him the baby as he lies dying -- never fails to bring tears to my eyes. It's really, really hard to watch, actually -- totally heartbreaking, though beautiful.

I have to say though, I hate the idea of Alti's curse as the cause of what happened.

I do enjoy this ship for what it was in the past. It was sweet how he grew to love her even when she couldn't (or at least, couldn't admit it to herself).

Did anyone else kinda sniffle when they saw Borias get killed? It was heart breaking to watch him trying to get to Xena and their child. Damn that Alti for her curse.
