Why this must be read:
The summary for this story reads: “What happens when the world's oldest (and most annoying) man loses his head.” I don’t want to give anything away. What happens is a really creepy-cool and original sequence of events based on the idea of Methos’ power and will to live. I like this story because it in no way glosses over the brutality of the immortal world, yet manages to weave in moments of humor and tenderness. Nothing explicitly sexual happens between Methos and Duncan, but their relationship is very real and poignant. The reader is never left in any doubt about what they mean to one another.

This one is really worth reading if you like a little bit of sci-fi, a good dose of subtext, and a whole lotta Methos.
