A Bitter Ale by Neoinean (PG-13)
Fandom:HIGHLANDER
Pairing: None mentioned
Length: 29,338
Author on LJ: not known
Author Website: Neoinean's Fanfic Profile
Why this must be read: Written in a virtual season 6, with the premise that Modern Prometheus was the last episode of season 5, and ignoring the last movie, this fic brings together Connor, Mac, Amanda, Richie, Joe, and Methos for a pre-Christmas get-together. During the course of conversation, Richie wants to know when each of them had their first taste of beer, which then descends into story-telling hour(s). Neoinean balances what each Immortal knows about each other pretty well, beginning with the assumption that Connor wouldn't know who Methos is and that not everyone is privy to the Horsemen reveal. When it comes to Methos' turn, he gives us a story that is bittersweet and yes, Horsemen oriented. What drew me to this is that this is a fic not just about the first time Methos had beer, but also about the Horsemen and why he left the Horsemen - and it's not because of Cassandra. More than that, Neoinean peppers the fic with examples of friendship between those gathered, such as how they all take an interest in Richie's college education. Warning, there is some character OOC'ness at certain parts that might bother you, but the story itself is well put together and a very nice read. It also references an earlier story in her 'verse but it is not necessary to read that to enjoy this.
