Um, would anyone happen to know where I might find high-quality Methos-centric Highlander fanfiction? I've never read Highlander fic before. Any rating, any pairing, any topic is fine, as long as it's got Methos and is written well. (From what I've seen so far, writing a complicated morally ambiguous 5,000 year old immortal well is quite a

Have you tried the RSM's Essential Links for Slash Readers?

Excellent. Thanks!

I'd love to read this more thoroughly and comment heartily (being a huge HL and Methos fan), but I'm at work and posting illicitly! Shhh.

But, I can help with good Methos fic. Brilliant, even. amand_r gets Methos. Intrinsically. This is her site and pretty much everything there is fantastic and compelling.

There are a couple of standouts, though:
Upstairs/Downstairs--pre-slash Duncan/Methos. Been a while since I read it, but I remember just how simple yet complicated it was.

Heat Goes to Cold--one of the first and best second person fics out there. Anyone else attempting to do Methos in second person would have failed magnificently. Amand-r, however, pulls it off incredibly.

Tongues of Angels--my absolute favorite story of Amand-r's is this. It's something of a sequel to Masters at Deception, but I think it can be read as a standalone. Methos. Duncan. Gods. Goddesses. The secrets of Immortality. It's a WIP, but well worth it. Duncan/Methos.

I second Heat Goes To Cold. One of my favorite stories anywhere, about anyone, of all time.

Thanks so much for recommending these. I can't wait to read them.

[idyll]

You're welcome. I hope you enjoy them. Amand-r pretty much spoiled me for anyone else's Methos a long while ago, it's that on target.

nestra might have some leads. Or shrift.

With HL, I'm still sort of where I was with Sentinel for years, which is "ooo! shiny badfic!"

I'm sure I'll get 'round to finding the good once the train-wreck appeal wears off...

[rusty_halo]

Aww. I've found some good stories so far--Sylvia Volk is great. I don't think that Highlander was a particularly excellent show, but I do think that Methos was wonderful. I'm sure he's inspired some quality fanfic.

Dude, I'm almost at the end of Book 2, and there's still no Jaime. I'm starting to think you guys are making this fandom up ;)

[rusty_halo]

Hee, you're on to us. Yes, it was entirely a trick to get you to read these long books for no payoff ....

Er, actually, you'll get a nice taste of Jaime before you finish the second book. It's really not until the third that he gets a chance to shine, though.

Right, HL fic, good HL fic.

You've already been recced Amanda-r so Im going to tell you that

Tessa Rae is a goddess who writes wonderful stories. Her newest batch, Spring Pleasure, April Delight and Shades of Forever are gold.

Her site is here: http://www.squidge.org/~esjay/TessIndex.htm

Then there's MacGeorge: http://wordsmiths.net/MacGeorge/index.html
Go to under the boardwalk for the slash. If you like humour read "Social Graces" It's genious.

Then just for self pimpage I have a site with a recaps and a whole bunch of screencaps from some Methos episodes here http://www.crowblanket.com Just for when you need to look at the pretty that is Methos.

Cheers
