Why this must be read: Duncan and Methos go shopping for groceries. Is that a plot or what? It's 2018: Methos, after a long absence, is back in Seacouver, running the bar Joe has left him. He's got a new, youthful persona as the lead guitarist in the house band at Joe's; Duncan is, well, Duncan. As they shop for dinner, sparring and bickering, running into old lovers and enemies who touch them briefly and are gone, Duncan comes to a realization about Methos and himself.
Apparently this is the only story Julad has written in Highlander fandom; a pity.
Having decided to bake the wretched eel in a pyrex dish with East Asian spices, Duncan set about collecting ingredients like a desert graverobber collecting gold, with Methos attacking him on all sides instead of a swarm of hungry flies.
"Bok choy?" he was shouting, outraged. "You can't serve bok choy with eel!"
I am Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod, Duncan chanted to himself. I can battle fierce demons, I can seduce fair maidens, and I can serve bok choy with anything I like. Even whole eel.
It was painful to imagine what Methos must be thinking, though. I am Methos, the oldest immortal. I have slaughtered thousands of innocents, beheaded everybody who pestered me too much, I can read and speak every language that ever existed, and I can make sullen Highlanders cook my eel in a clay pot with saffron and radish and prunes, like they're supposed to.
