Cupid's Little Helper by Scribe (R)
Title: Seeking Balance and Cupid's Little Helper
Fandom: Xena: Warrior Princess
Pairing: Ares/Joxer, Cupid/Strife
Categories: AU, Family, First Time, Friendship, Kids, Mpreg, romance,
Length: Epic (56,000)
Warnings: Past Rape, Familial Neglect, Dialog inconstancy [Strife speaks with a severe accent throughout]
Author on LJ: n/a
Website: Scribe's Home
Summary: Strife messes up the wrong wedding and is forced to help Cupid fix it.
Review: Cupid's little helper tells the story of how Cupid and Strife got together. It's prequel, Seeking Balance, tells the story of how Joxer and Ares fell in love. Both stories are sweet and relatively fluffy romances, though they do have their dark moments.
I particularly enjoyed seeing Cupid and Strife work together to get couples together. There's nothing quite like have a God of Mischeif as you Matchmaker. Particularly when he's not afraid to crossdress to get the job done.
This slightly obsurd series is good for when you want a laugh, though keep in mind that there are some more serious parts of the story. While Cupid's little helper can stand alone, Seeking balance gives some insight into the backstory of the series.
