Armed Intervention, by Paula Stiles (R)

Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Characters: Gen: Methos, Joe
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: http:www.geocities.com/RainForest/Andes/3071/arch.html
Why this must be read: This is the first novel-length story in an unfinished series. It's about friendship, forgiveness, and ultimately, redemption: Methos and Joe, coming to terms with the past and the present. It's also about mental illness, and it is relentless and uncompromising in its portrayal of both PTSD and depression. If I hadn't already fallen in love with author's characterization, I would have loved it for that, for its courageous and ruthless portrayal of something that fandom rarely explores in any depth.

This is one of my very favorite stories/series. One I've read more than once. Don't miss it. Paula is a very talented writer.
