Fly Away Home, by Christina K (PG13)
Hey, y'all. I'm Ishafel, and I'm back for another round of recs.
Fandom: HIGHLANDER
Characters: Tessa, Methos, Duncan
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Christina K
Why this must be read: This is one of those stories that doesn't sound like much. Methos and Tessa live together, occasionally. Time passes. The writing is quiet, subtle, strong and gorgeous. You finish it and you realize your heart is breaking a little bit.
"He'd lost more friends over the years than he could count. Wives and students, servants and partners, and it always hurt in varying degrees and continued to hurt long after they were gone. But there was always a sting when a true friend died that the other losses lacked. Maybe not as deep as the loss of love, or as complicated as the pain of seeing potential gone. But when someone who'd wanted nothing more from you than your presence in their home from time to time left the world, there was one less place to go and be warm."
