Why this must be read:
I would be remiss if I didn’t rec Hafital’s “So Tonight That I Might See” series. If you are looking for a wonderful romance between Methos and Duncan, one that’s real and moving and hot this series is exactly what you are looking for. Hafital is never heavy handed. She has a way of presenting each scene, each emotion so that it is vivid and crisp but not belabored. It hits you with just the right strength.

The first story in the series, “The Space Between,” opens with Methos helping Mac deal with the aftermath of the events of Highlander: Endgame (if you haven’t seen the movie, the story contains major spoilers for it), which is a fairly common theme, but this is my favorite among what I’ve read. This is not one of those stories where Mac and Methos fight and snipe until they finally throw themselves at each other (not that I don’t love that type as well). Instead they are sweet and gentle with each other as they slowly come together. The moment of Mac’s epiphany will leave you breathless. These stories blow me away with their tenderness which never descends into schmaltz. And they are really, really hot. Hafital does not skimp on the sex. Really, read everything she’s written, but start with these.

Here’s a small sample:

"Can you wait a little more? I'd like to see the other warehouse. It's not far."

Methos exaggerated a long suffering sigh. "If you must."

"I must. You're welcome to leave."

"I was kidding, Mac."

"I know. So was I." MacLeod tweaked Methos' nose. Their eyes met in the underwater-like light and even the dust motes seemed to pause in their eternal flight for the span of one heartbeat. Then Methos sneezed.

"Come on." MacLeod led the way out and Methos followed.
