Thank you-- this was a fabulous and clever idea, and I love it! You definitely made me smile today. I really like the distinction between Adam/ Death/ Methos. And this last line, "And while not all fairy-tale endings are happy, it can be said with truth that this one was." is perfect. Thank you again!

Thanks! Glad you liked it! I had a great time writing it, and I am so glad that I made you smile.

I love the Robin McKinley book, and I love fairytale retellings, so this was a particular pleasure to read. You did a wonderful job with it!

[dkwilliams]

I always loved that book, and thought that Disney must have used some of it for the movie. It was fun to rework it for Highlander.

Brave deeds bravely done, indeed. For what requires more courage than love?

[dkwilliams]

One of my favorite bits, I must admit - I love alliteration. And yes, love requires the most courage of all.

how can you say you're sorry for this? It's delightful -- a truly a grand fairy tale!! *flipping a couple of coins into Bard Joseph's cap*

Well, it's a bit cracky. (sheepish) But it did turn out to be quite a fun little fairy tale

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale and this was a wonderful Highlander adaptation of it. It worked so well!

[dkwilliams]

It has always been my favorite fairy tale, and I had thought about all of Methos's masks/personalities, and how it might fit. I am glad that you enjoyed it.
