First up I must say *thank you* to the ever so, ever so lickable ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
crackernuts who has done me a *spanking* new Kronos/Methos image manip here. Its not entirely work safe though.
Then I must welcome another very clever and shiny fan of HL to LJ. Greetings, Salutations and Welcome tocrowie and let me be the first to rec her hugely entertaining screencaps for various HL episodes. So far she's done Till Death, Something Wicked/Deliverance, Comes A Horseman and Revelations.The Horsemen episodes in particular had me in hysterics. Go and tell her how wonderful she is and hopefully she will then do Methos and Methuselah's Gift!
*sighs* You know its so lovely to have supremely clever and talented friends in fandom! I just wish I could respond in kind, instead I shall just have to stick with trumpeting their praises from the dark and murky shallows of fandom in which I lurk.
Speaking of which there has been a positive *orgasm* of fic to read recently which means I have been beside my evil little self with joy and spanglingness! The frighteningly prolific and uber shinyelistaire a.k.a Tray has done it yet again with a delicate watercolour of a fic called Sublimation which speculates on what exactly happens to all the old immortals. The fic is odd and its quirky and as usual she manages to hit the *exact* right balance of happy/sad. Go read and enjoy.
Actually the whole taterville stable of authors has been active. Pat has just done a nicely written and well observed Angel/Highlander Crossover called Blood Bath. Now, I am no expert on Angel and I'm not a fan of xovers as a rule, but I did enjoy this one along with her QAF xover which I have recced previously. There is also a sequel called Touché which I haven't read as yet but which all preliminaries suggest should be equally as good. I would be very interested to hear from actual Angel fans, as to their opinions on these fics.
A brand new writer called Beth brings us her first story involving the rarer HL pairing of Methos/Joe. Its called Home and its got a great start but then kinda ends rather abruptly, just as its getting going. Beth seems to have a good grasp of the characters she is writing and I'd like to see her flesh this story out a bit more, since I'm quite partial to this pairing if its handled with sensitivity.
Of course I went into positive paroxysms of joy when I found out that Sharon Cross is writing a sequel to her frighteningly clever and engrossing SF AU Specter which if you have not read, I would heartily recommend, not least for the utterly *meep* inducing pic of Duncan/Specter on the frontpage. The sequel is called Songs of The Flesh and is very much a WIP at the moment. The first chapter however has already hooked me and I shall be watching how this one progresses with great glee. Help me by going and poking Sharon to write more quickly!
To finish I am going to rec to very different but equally brilliant stories, which it has been my very great pleasure to read today. First the multi-fandom wonder that isolympia_m gifted us with the darkly gorgeous and incredibly evocative The Oldest Story. Apparently this was something written some time ago when she was still active in the HL fandom and has just been found. Well, all I can say is lets hope such gems get *found* all the time as this is a beautifully written AU, with a perfectly edible Methos, who I would *love* to see some more of, but I suspect I shall have to be content with this offering. *sighs* The fic has some very light BDSM overtones which are handled with a delicacy which brings joy to my blackened old heart and I can't rec it highly enough.
The second fic is a slight departure as its a Highlander/X-men xover. Now comics are an old love of mine and the X-men fandom in particular introduced me to some fabulous writers. One of my long times faves is the rather awesome [Bad username or unknown identity: thete1.]
I stumbled across her Unbound almost by chance and I am very, very glad I did. The pairing is not what you would expect and its not a slash story, so this may indicate to you how much I *like* this fic. Its short and concise and as usual her deft turn of phrase leaves me gasping with delight and green with envy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and I am not going to say any more because I want you to go and read it for yourself without being *spoiled*.
That's all folks, so go read and enjoy and don't forget to feedback the authors!
Oh and while I couldn't find any Vicious/Spike fic I did find this wonderful bit of fanart by the lovelydevosama which I suppose will have to keep me happy for the moment *winks*
That is all!

Ah, I didn't need to know that "Specter"'s sequel is being written. Damn! Not another WiP to hold me in its clutches. Arrrgh.
