Why this must be read: I shall be eternally grateful that the writers on HL left enough gaps in places to stir our imaginations and make us wonder. Missing scenes are a kink of mine - right up there with my kink for first time fics. This story does it for me on both counts.
At the end of the episode One Minute to Midnight, one very angry MacLeod stomps off in a huff. Moments later, Methos also stomps off angrily. End of season. Next season, there's no sign of the ROG for several episodes, until one day, out of the blue, MacLeod comes home to find Methos sprawled(tm) across his bed, drinking a beer. Is there anything to hash out regarding their previous storyline? Nope. Mac doesn't even look too surprised. They proceed to dance around each other like an old married couple.
This always left me with a big, "WTF?" until I read this fic. Esjay's Duncan and Methos are real, vital men, and so in character. I hear their voices in my head as I'm reading, and it sounds perfectly right. With After Midnight she fills in the blanks so perfectly, it makes BeeeJ one big, happy slasher. :)
