STARGATE SG:1/HIGHLANDER (PG-13)
Title: Changing of the Guard by Ecolea
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: Seventh Dimension
Why this must be read:
Voted Best Crossover in the 2001 Stargate: SG-1 Fan Fiction Awards, it's bloody brilliant. The dialogue is great, the characterizations dead on, and story mixes Stargate history with Immortal roots quite believably.
Dawson sighed. "I know you mean well, George, and I believe you. But
it's not me you have to convince. It ain't even Adam. It's Methos you
have to sway. And that's a horse of an entirely different color. He's
survived the Game longer than anyone."
"How long?"
"More than five thousand years."
"My sources say ten."
Joe nearly choked on his drink. "And he confirmed this?"
"He doesn't have to. I trust my sources."
Dawson shook his head in disgust. "I don't know what to tell you,
George. However old he is, Methos only got there by being smarter and
more dangerous in his own way than all the rest. You're playing with
fire and if you keep him where he doesn't want to be you'll be holding
a ticking bomb that I can guarantee will someday explode in your face.
Be smart and play it safe. If he wants to go, just turn him loose. No
questions asked."
Hammond nodded. "I hadn't planned on keeping him against his will,
Joe. But I would like to appeal to what is obviously a very powerful
sense of self-preservation."
"Then your reasons better be good. Methos doesn't have any loyalty to
mortal causes. He can't afford it. But if you can convince him that
it's in his own best interest to help you... Look, I don't know what
you guys are up to that could affect the whole world, but hell, he is
technically its oldest living inhabitant. If this is anyone's planet,
Methos'd probably consider it his."
