The caper with the cat in it (but not enough caviar.), PG, Jinxed Wood
Ooops have just realised how long it has been since I last posted a rec. Sorry about that, here's a particularly funny one to make up for it.

Why this must be read:-Because any story with Amanda and Methos getting into trouble is always fun, particularly when it has a cat in it.
“Amanda, there you are, I thought you might have stood me up!”
Amanda turned slowly to see a tall, saturnine man bearing down on her. “Arkady,” she purred, “I'm sure you would have been terribly distraught if I hadn't attended your little soiree.”
The Russian ambassador smirked down at her. “And I see you came all alone. Are you going -what is you Americans call it – stag?”
Amanda let out a light, tinkling laugh. “Oh, Arkady, you are so amusing...but no, I'm here with a dear friend of mine.”
“Who has left you all alone to fend by yourself?”
Amanda's smiled didn't falter. “Oh, Arkady, you old tease,” she said, “But you're right, he has been awhile. If you'll excuse me, I think I need to track him down. He tends to get a little lost at these occasions – scholarly type, you know.”
Arkady raised an eyebrow. “Scholarly?”
“What can I say, Arkady, opposites attract,” Amanda said, her smiled gleaming as she glanced around the room. She spotted him by the canapés, devouring the caviar. “Ah, there he is,” she thrilled. “If you'll excuse me...” She slid through the crowd, knowing it would only be a matter of moments before Arkady followed.
Methos's eyes gleamed with amusement as she approached. “Enjoying your little chat with the ambassador?” he asked.
“Just smile and play along,” she said lowly. “He's about to join us any minute and-”
“Amanda, m'dear, you have to introduce me to your friend. He sounds fascinating.”
Methos quirked an eyebrow. “Do I?”
“Now, Adam, be nice,” Amanda said lightly, as Methos's other eyebrow lifted.
“I hear you're something of a scholar,” boomed Arkady. “Although she failed to mention your academic field...?”
“Did she now,” Methos drawled. “I wonder why?”
“Oh, Adam!” Amanda said, slapping him lightly on the arm. “Adam speaks over twenty languages, Arkady, and all of them are dead!”
