Fic rec time: Highlander slash by genteelrebel
Hello,
today I'd like to recommend to you two Highlander stories by my friend genteelrebel
She has finally started posting them on her journal, so more will follow in the next few weeks.
Her OTP is Methos/Joe but she writes Duncan/Methos, too, but it doesn't really matter because they are all good.
You can tell from the stories how much she cares about the characters and they really come alive in front of my inner eye.
So, first one is One Off (HL, Methos/Joe, NC-17, First Time) in which Methos and Joe turn a night of drunken rambling into something more.
Methos's and Joe's friendship shines through everything they do here. When it turns into love - or did that a long time ago? - the transition is easy and angst-free and wonderfully comforting. Or maybe it's just friends with benefits but even then that isn't a problem for both of them.
Second one is Avoidance Strategies (HL, Duncan/Methos, NC-17)
(link to part 2 at bottom, heed warnings at beginning)
Okay, so Duncan finally has Methos in his bed and the sex is the best he's ever had, but there's something wrong...
...and that something wrong is the whole point of the story. We jump right in with a sex scene and go from there. This is a story about trust and love and friendship and even though it gets a teeny tiny bit mushy in places I do believe the characters are true. Methos trying to evade the whole issue and yet can't run away from Duncan and Duncan barging in, trying to fix things and almost scewing everything up.
Yet in the end, they get everything right.
