As I admitted, I don't know much about Highlander, but I could follow most of the storyline, filling in a bit from what I've gleaned from fans and general knowledge.

And I really appreciate you reading when you're unfamiliar with the other fandom. Truly.

Your Loki is certainly a lot more devious here; almost sadistic, truth be told. Not that it's a bad thing; he revealed those characteristics in the film and the cat and mouse game with both Methos and Charlotte fits his personality to a T.

He got more that way during the post movie rewrite. That being said, I do think the Loki that amnesia Charlotte interacts with isn't all an act. He's complicated - to say the least [g] And as Loki said, time isn't a straight line. And this is set a few days before the start of Avengers, so he's extra driven.

I'm glad you had Charlotte strong enough and bright enough to actively seek back her own memories too. I find that sort of courage very appealing, and certainly worthy of someone who's lived as long as she has.

I didn't want Loki to be totally omnipotent. After all, he's juggling a whole lot. And I think the subtle wrongness of the situation would be like a hole in the dike, more of her pushing through. Loki really shouldn't have shown her that mirror!

I'm assuming it's all sort of a mental realm, yes, somewhere within either Loki or Charlotte's head?

After seeing the movie, the idea changed a bit, but it actually worked. I'd always been going with the idea of a prison in a snow globe, so as I see it now, it's along the lines of what he did to Clint, except in this case, with the help of the poison, he held her consciousness somewhere else. Err, I think!

You've got a very action-oriented style of storytelling that I'm guessing it part of that Highlander's legacy, so the pacing is definitely to your credit.

That I'm not sure of - just may be me LOL

Thanks for the good read and I'm looking forward to the last part and epilog!

Me too!!

Thank you again!
