Why this must be read:

I've been waiting for Crossover day, I had my fic all picked out. Then when the 15th finally comes I space out and almost forget. If I hadn't seen all the other's posted I would have forgotten entirely. It's just a teensy bit late. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

In this fic Sam leaps into the body of Duncan MacLeod. The main thing I like about this fic is how quickly Methos figures out that something is wrong. That this person may look like Duncan, but clearly isn't. There's no Methos wanting to fool around with this "new person" in Duncan's body. All Methos wants is to know what in the hell is going on and where his lover is. There is a real sense of how connected Duncan and Methos are in this story, of just how much they love one another.

Loving both of these shows doesn't hurt anything either. I think both fandoms work well for this crossover and all the characters come out as very true to who they are. All this combined makes this one of my favorite crossovers.
