Why this must be read:

This was written as part of the lovely [livejournal.com profile] ts_ficathon 'Getting A Sense of Cliches' challenge, with the prompts 'Write a story using the cliché idea:**Hurt/Comfort (coma, shot, in hospital, blind) ***and using the sense: Touch'. I don't want to say much about this story, since it will ruin the ending. This is a fairly short story, set some time in the future, describing a night at home for Jim.
In keeping with the author's wishes, I've put the link below goes to the main body of the story directly, not to the warning section, as they do spoil the fic somewhat; if you do want to be warned before you read the fic, click here.

Why this must be read:

This story is actually an episode gapfiller, taking place in the hours we never see after episode 510. I wouldn't typically recommend something brief like this, but I think this story fills the gap, so to speak, really beautifully.

Description & excerpt, cut for season five spoilers. )

Note: This story does NOT contain spoilers beyond episode 510.

11:39 am Carciofi by Unovis (NC-17)

Pairing: Duncan/Methos

Why this story must be read:

As it's my birthday, today I rec my favorite Highlander story. Carciofi did two things. First it solidified my love of Highlander and love of Duncan/Methos. And secondly, it presented a beautiful meal that to this day I'm temped to prepare every time I read this story.

This story starts with an unfamiliar atmosphere, cold and brittle, out of place. Methos, ever the survivor, has been indulging himself in what little of a comfortable life he remembers that remains. Surprises, in many forms, bring fragile peace and the offered comfort of good food and better company.

Unovis has a lovely writing style that without overextending the use of words, portrays Duncan and Methos' current environment and emotional presence with ease. It's the small descriptions that go so far as to show the story rather than telling it.

I wish everyone a lovely read and if you like artichokes, I suggest making this dish. It's fantastic.
