Fanfiction.netCharacter: Duncan MacLeod, Richie Ryan, Tessa Noel
Why this must be read: In the first episode of
Highlander, Richie Ryan is a punk kid who gets caught breaking into MacLeod's antique store. By the second episode, Richie is living and working at the store. Wouldn't you like to know how that happened?
This is the first in a series of stories by Neoinean focused on the relationships between Richie, Tessa, and Duncan in the first and second seasons of Highlander. Duncan finds Richie running scared and wounded from a gang of teenagers. He brings him to the hospital and begins to take more of an interest in the pre-Immortal boy he promised Connor he'd keep an eye on. Overlook the occasional typos. Read this story for the slow building of trust and the realistic details, like the pain of riding a bus with stitches and eating peanut butter sandwiches when you can't afford anything else.

Into the Fold and (IMHO) Neoinean's finest work, the heart-breakingly real WIP Christmas story
Seeking Shelter.
