History FanficRecs / HIGHLANDER

* A CrackFic that absolutely should not work, but somehow does. The writing style and especially dialogue are stilted and unnatural at times, words are misused inconsistently ("a death body" instead of "a dead body," a reaction to someone's "dead" instead of someone's "death"), [[SeriousBusiness and the author misspells "MacLeod"]], but it's still a surprisingly good story despite those flaws. The characters are interesting, Bella is completely different from her canon characterization thanks to being an Immortal with about fifty years under her belt, the romance is. . . well, okay it's not ''much'' better than the original, but it ''is'' better. Watching two different supernatural entities try and keep up two separate [[TheMasquerade masquerades]] in front of each other is quite amusing. Bella is more confident, competent, snarky, and sassy, and while she's still a bit of a klutz, that's actually a ''bad'' flaw to have when you're Immortal (GoodThingYouCanHeal is less of a good thing when you really need people to not notice you can heal). Rosalie flying into literal jealous frenzies is equally amusing and scary -- scary because it's still a jealous rage, amusing because she's being triggered by out-of-context snippets she overhears of Bella's conversations with Charlie or other Immortals. The story intersperses beats from the first novel[=/=]movie (substituting Rosalie for Edward where appropriate) while adding Bella bumping into other Immortals, some friendly, some less so. Oh, by the way, one of those friendly Immortals, Tobias, appeared in one of the author's other stories, showing him being mentored in The Game by Bella as the first Immortal she ever taught. When he's at home, he goes by [[Franchise/HarryPotter Severus Snape]].

** ''Synopsis'': Methos and Kronos have had a long and violent life together, for them a great deal of fun. For others, usually far from it. Up until ''[[http://www.swordznsorcery.co.uk/drive.html A Drive In The Country]]'' everything takes place pre-TV-series and thus has no direct connection with Duncan [=MacLeod=]. Operates under the assumption that Methos lies... a lot. Also that he's not even remotely a sweet, innocent. Except sometimes. When he feels like it.

** ''Warnings'': Loads of violent and horrible deaths, many a victim who didn't deserve it.
** ''Comments'': Great characterizations, among other things. When we get to the modern days, the writer's descriptions of Methos' living spaces are wonderful and hilarious! There are times when it stretches my belief, such as when our heroes are sometimes denser than rocks. If they weren't, though, they wouldn't get in the situations.

''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''

* Quite possibly the best Highlander fic out there. Of particular note is the series consisting of ''Lay Down Your Sword'', ''Share the Disaster'', ''Come to Dust'', and ''Rain Must Fall''.
