The Descent Into Madness by Sharon Cross & Tessa Rae (NC-17)

Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: Duncan/Tessa, Duncan/Methos
Author(s) on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] slcross & [livejournal.com profile] ts5000
Author Website: CrossWords

Why this must be read: because it is an great A/U that reads like a suspense novel that includes our favorite Highlander characters in it. The long novel begins during the episode, "The Darkness" when Duncan MacLeod meets Methos. Duncan is living with Tessa Noel, but is drawn to the older Immortal and their lives soon spiral out of control when Tessa is killed (as is Methos' fiancee). In grief and despair, they turn to each other, but are soon drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse when a deadly Watcher experiment comes after them. Will they be able to overcome this monster who is trying to kill them? And just what is the nature of their relationship, is it just sex between friends or true love?

A long, satisfying read, I know you will enjoy it! If you are a slasher, please don't be put off by the het (Duncan/Tessa pairing) that is in the first half of the novel, as it really 'fits' in the story and doesn't detract from the dynamic of Duncan/Methos in the plot. The rest of the novel focuses on Duncan and Methos.
