Title: The One That Got Away, by Kellie Matthews & Julia Blackshear Kosatka
Pairing: Amanda/Fraser/Vecchio
Author on LJ: kelliem
Author's Website: Kellie Matthews' Fan Fiction
Why this must be read: (Look!! I'm reccing a Vecchio story!!) This story is the beginning of what Kellie calls the "Fishing" series. Here's Kellie's synopsis:

Amanda goes to Chicago to do a little light 'lifting' and encounters a small difficulty in the persons of Benton Fraser and Ray Vecchio. During the chaos that follows, a Quickening with unusual side effects has some unexpected results.

And a snippet, because it sound just like Ray and it makes me laugh:

Amanda could clearly hear Vecchio grousing at Fraser as they moved away. "'You should see a doctor if you continue to feel vertiginous'?" Vecchio repeated, sounding incredulous. "Where do you get that? Nobody talks like that! Is that a Canadian thing or just a Mountie thing?"


I actually avoided readng this at first because of my unfamiliarity with the Highlander universe, but after reading the rest of the series, I felt compelled to go back and try this, and I was glad I did. Kellie made it fairly easy to understand what's up with these Immortal people without beating me over the head with it.

Those who avoid threesomes, slash and/or het sex might want to avoid this story. Everyone else should read it. I have spoken.
