Death Gives Ground by Cinel Durant (NC-17)
Hi, I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
darthhellokitty, your crack van driver for Highlander in the month of November. Sorry for the late start, I've been under the weather this week, but now I'm ready to drive.
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: Duncan/Methos
Author on LJ:junoesk
Author Website: Cinel's Snuggery
Why this must be read: A beautiful take on what happens after Endgame.
There are a few reasons many Highlander fans have a love/hate relationship with the movie Highlander: Endgame. Series canon gets contradicted, and a much-loved character is lost. However, the way the movie ends has set up some very fine stories in the hurt/comfort category, and this is one of the best.
After Endgame, Duncan MacLeod is exhausted and grieving. He takes refuge with Methos, who gives him a place to find peace, and offers his help. This is not a story with a lot of action; the conversations - and silences - between Duncan and Methos are where everything happens, and in fact once Duncan arrives at Methos' London manor house, neither of them leaves it for the duration of the story.
Cinel's writing, as ever, is beautiful, and expresses the quiet understanding between the two perfectly. If you haven't read her before, this is a good place to start; if you have, this is a wonderful story to revisit.

P.S. being a rabid Hello Kitty and Darth Vader fab I have to say I love your LJ username.
