Hostages to Fortune by Teresa C (PG-13)

Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] teresa_c
Author Website: Teresa C's Highlander Keep. See also the fanfic index on LiveJournal.
Why this must be read: On top of being just plain well-written, this story wins big for two reasons. First, it's got a really nifty plot idea: the real father of the real Russell Edwin Nash shows up at Connor MacLeod's antique store, looking for his son. Second, it's a rare look inside the Highlander family circa 1980: Connor MacLeod, his daughter Rachel Ellenstein, and his student Duncan MacLeod. [livejournal.com profile] teresa_c does an exemplary job of giving the reader a very intimate look at the family dynamics without being obvious about it.

As an extra treat, there are cameos by "Michael," a hazel-eyed Immortal who would rather leave the country than fight Connor MacLeod, and an unnamed guy with a cane who says he saw the whole thing.
