Off all the 12 Olympian Gods , the Goddess Hestia is the only one who doesn't appear in physical form on the whole Xena/Hercules universe?

It’s all good, sometime after FIN, Hestia appears to Gabrielle and the resurrected Xena and blesses them with a child of their own.

Is that in a fan fic (there are SO many post FIN stories) or is it something you just made up.

It’s in my head! And only my head … to my knowledge.
In my main head canon they adopt an orphaned girl. There’s a totally cute moment where Gabrielle is beating around the bush trying to figure out if Xena is open to the idea with all sorts of odd comments like how Xena always catches enough fish for three and Xena just stops her and says “yes”. And Gabrielle says “you don’t even know what I’m asking” and Xena says “yes I do and my answer is yes”. Then tears, etc.

That's so in-character and lovely! I love that! Personally I think Gabrielle is the type to adopt more than one kids too, she'd be going around adopting too mamy until she'd be raising her own little Amazon nation haha!

You should write fan fic!

Probably both. It's a nice head canon

Yeah I think you’re right, at least her presence is felt, Pwaise Hestia!

Well. It makes sense. She's too busy tending the hearth.

I can remember all the others from at least one episode or more on either show. But if we're talking strictly physical, I don't think Dionysus on that episode of Hercules have a physical form, does he?
RedJacket2020s@reddit (OP)
The episode "girls just wanna have fun" was about Dionysus (aka Bacchus). Bacchus is the Roman name for Dionysus

Ah yes, Bacchus. You're absolutely right, I just forgot they have several names
