Harry Potter / Highlander (PG-13)

Title: Comes a Slytherin by Lady Lance
Pairing: Duncan MacLeod/Methos

Why this must be read: I think the author's summary says it all: Harry Potter's an Immortal. Methos is Slytherin. Snape becomes a Watcher, and Duncan is very confused. It may just be my eternal love for Methos talking, but I think Methos = Salazar Slytherin is just *brilliant*, honestly. This is a nice long story (about 44K words) that just makes me happy to read.

Probably won't do much for those not familiar with Highlander (and if you're not, why not?), but to sum up briefly: Methos is 5,000 years old. He is an Immortal, a human-like being who can only be killed if you cut off his head; otherwise, he just comes back to life. Immortals constantly face one another in combat to the death, where the winner takes his enemy's head (and with it his power, in a big lightning display called a Quickening), because they believe (mostly) that in the end, there can be only one. A whole lot of people think that One is going to be Duncan MacLeod of the clan MacLeod (born 400 years ago in the highlands of Scotland). Duncan + Methos = OTP! :)
