"Hold Fast" by Russet McMillan (R)
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: none
author's webpage: Russet J. McMillan
Why this must be read:
"Hold Fast" is notable for playing with two of the less-explained details of Immortality - the holy ground rule, and the mechanics of Quickenings. It begins as something of a dark mystery, when Duncan receives a grisly package containing Connor Macleod's blood-encrusted katana. And then Hunters are involved, and Joe is dragged into the line of fire.
McMillan merges the original movie's Immortal physics (remember some of the weird stuff with the stag that Ramirez showed Connor?) with the show's, which makes for some interesting possibilities. (Plus, there's a scene that's a joke about the second movie.) Two follow-up stories, "The Dark Side of the Mirror" and "Adam" continue the experimentation, though they aren't direct sequels.
