Why this must be read:

I hate Methos/Kronos. I avoid it like the plague. But I'm so glad I took a chance on this, because it was such a fascinating AU that played out perfectly. Here, Kronos killed Duncan, but in doing so he took a Light Quickening, one that's shaken him to the core.

"Brother," he says. "How have you been?"

"What a strange question," I tell him, leaning forward, resting my forearms across my knees. I want to look at him, but can't. The memories I have of him don't match the ones coming most to mind. It's unsettling.

"Does it have a strange answer?" Methos responds. He sighs and takes a seat beside me, adjusting his coat around his sword. My sword rests behind the bench, though I won't need it here. Holy ground is not something I've always been known for respecting. I should wonder why he trusts me now, but I don't. We both know what's been so strange about my life lately.
