Excellent story! I always thought Forever had so much potential as a show. Love the mystery and intrigue!

Thank you!

I'm impressed that you read a Richie-centric story, and flattered that you liked it even without Methos included. :) Thanks for taking the time!

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!! I love my story, Santa. It's exactly the crossover I've been trying and failing to write for months. Everyone was perfect and I adore that it was Liam - I was completely expecting Nick, well played!
This felt believable as an episode of either show, and I could hear their voices as I read.

♥

Thank you!

ETA: yes, I now know Liam is listed in the header, but I never actually read that beyond seeing it was many story and a Forever crossover.

So happy that you liked this, and that I could give you a story you've been unable to write for yourself! I'd love to hear about your attempts, though, as this crossover will not leave me alone.

Nick was supposed to be in this story. After I stopped joking about writing a Forever crossover (this was my first foray into writing Forever fanfic) and realized that I was actually going to do it, I decided to include Nick and started to review some Raven episodes. Then, things happened...and OMG, Liam and Henry simply had too much in common, and I wanted to give Henry a friend he could honestly relate to, and then I saw that Liam fit with the theme of the story perfectly...and there you have it.

Thanks again for the squee!

This story was amazing! I loved the plot twists and turns. And your Richie was superb--just a tad more responsible and mature than we saw on the show, with the same loyalty and generosity of spirit, and very recognizably "Richie."

I didn't know Henry and his world, but you made them come alive for me anyway.

This was a gorgeous story. I'm going to read it again.

Thank you so much! That you took the time to read a crossover of this length where you're not familiar with both properties is such a compliment. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I'm all for any stories where we get to see who Richie might have become once he was out from under Duncan's shadow, so I'm pleased as punch that my interpretation works for you. :)

This is the fic I've wanted to read ever since I saw Forever. Love it! Denial 'verses are such fun. :)

[argentum_ls]

Denial verses are the best!

Thanks for reading, and I'm so happy that you enjoyed the story.

This is absolutely perfect. I loved Forever and was very sad to see it canceled. And I really liked your Richie. He's matured just like he should have at his age now. In fact, you captured all the characters perfectly.

This is a keeper for every Highlander and Forever fan.

[argentum_ls]

Thank you!

The credit for capturing Lucas goes to my beta reader, but everyone else is on me, so I'm delighted to hear that they resonated correctly for you.

I really did love this. Are you going to put it up on AO3? I'd really like to put it on my Kindle to keep.

[argentum_ls]

It's already up.
