For God and Country, by Peg Keeley (PG)
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: None
Author Website: The Seventh Dimension Archive
Why this must be read: God and Country is one of those great, "coulda been an episode" fics, with Richie going with his gut instead of listening to Mac, learning the hard way that things aren't black and white, and that the line between good guys and bad guys can become very blurry when dealing with another culture and another set of values.
Hsin avoided Richie's move and struck close. Richie missed the counter and the blade cut his leg. He gave a yelp of pain and this time MacLeod looked up. The blades grated together and came close for a moment before Hsin pushed Richie back. With a sudden countermove, he sent Richie's sword flying from his hand. It jammed into the wall on the far side of the room. He stood there panting as Hsin slowly resheathed his sword. "Get this message, young friend: China does not wish you to contaminate her young with your rebellious attitude."
