Might Have Been by Kat Parsons (PG)

Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Pairing: Duncan/Tessa
Author Website: Highlander Fanfiction by Kat Parsons
Why this must be read:

Normally I'm pretty leery of kidfic, as it's too easy for it to turn treacle-sweet, but this story stops just shy of that. In this AU, Duncan and Tessa meet Richie years earlier as a small child, and have a chance to give him a better life.

Duncan sighed, counted to ten, and spoke more softly. "Are you lost? I got lost once when I was a boy, not too much older than you. I was scared, but my father and the other...and our neighbors found me. He was angry at me for going off alone, but only because he loved me and wanted me safe. Your parents must be worried about you--it's past ten o'clock, now, and when parents don't know where their children are, it frightens them."
