Fundamental Things by Nutmeg9cat (PG13)

[dm24.livejournal.com]

Hi, My name is Chris and I'll be the Highlander driver this month. I really enjoy strong plots, believable characterizations of both Duncan and Methos, and great writing. Fortunately, the Highlander fandom has a great many stories that contain all three. Please let me know what you think of the recs.

Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: Not known
Author Website: Daire's Fanfic Refuge
Why this must be read: This is the first story in Nutmeg9cat's As Time Goes By series, probably the best gen Highlander stories that I have read (and reread). These stories have it all; mystery, adventure, drama, and comedy. I wish that the producers of the new Highlander movie had looked here for their plot. Although definitely not slash, the friendship between Duncan and Methos is integral to the story. Someone recently mentioned that the Highlander fandom has been spoiled by the professional caliber of many of the writers. Nutmeg9cat certainly qualifies.

Three great sequels and the story is still ongoing. What more could you want?

Thanks, I'm glad people enjoyed the rec. I know the series was recently discussed on
highlander_lj (http://www.livejournal.com/users/highlander_lj/) but I've been surprised that it isn't recommended more.
