I've never been a fan of the character Najara, but for some reason, i keep imagining her and Xena in a scenario where they reluctantly team up against some really horrifying enemies and they both use their most brutal tactics to survive.

I'm thinking maybe it starts with Xena capturing Najara and escorting her to the Shark Island prison, but their ship gets wrecked and they end up on an island facing an unexpected threat.

Does anybody feel like getting into fanfiction mode and helping me flesh out this scenario?

I'm thinking it can have similar vibes to episodes such as A Family Affair, The Price, The Abyss, Dangerous Prey, and Succession.
