Warning: Gathering story. This means major character death, there can be only one, yadda yadda.
Why this must be read: Writers of fan fiction have an advantage over the writers of original fiction: they can do anything, literally anything with the characters, without worrying about its effect on continuity. In fan fiction, you can change sexuality and/or gender and/or species, you can set the characters in a different time period, you can make them happy housewives or blow up the universe, and it has no effect on either canon or on other fan fiction stories. In the source material, the series writers can lead the characters into mortal danger, but then they have to lead them out as well, if they want the characters to continue. In fan fiction, the writers can take the characters up to that line, and then they can take them over it.
In Highlander, this means that it's possible to write a story about the Gathering where the characters are confronted with the question, "Who wouldn't you kill to survive?" and the answer can be, "No one."
In One Thousand, Methos would do anything to survive the Gathering. Anything at all.
