Reactions and Reviews

Virgin(to gay sex)!Duncan fic! Whee! It's hard to find good virgin!fic in Highlander, since most authors can't help but nudge the reader about how ridiculous it is to think that a four hundred (or five thousand) year old man has managed to avoid any specific kind of sex act. Aristide handles that aspect of the story exceptionally well simply by not making a fuss about it, especially at the beginning (and it helps that Duncan's exceedingly drunk when taking that first step). The story as a whole is kind of hard to sum up, because you've got the beginning with the goofiness of Mac stumbling over Methos's gay porn and the subsequent drunken request for experimentation, and then you have the sex, and the angst, and the sex again, and the angst again, and -- well, you get the point. You'll want to smack both Duncan and Methos at times in this story, repeatedly, but at the same time you'll want to give them a hug, because man, do these guys have issues. And we love them for it.[1]

A Miracle Every Day by Aristide. The author calls this a little silly, but I don't agree. It is a rich story full of nuance and strange character action. Methos and Duncan First Time, and all that, but really odd in ways. I do so enjoy when Methos is cryptic. Plus the added bonus of The Grateful Dead only makes it better. SLASH! RED ALERT! SLASH![2]

First time piece. Awesome exploration of the dynamics between Duncan and Methos. We think this is a fascinating and very original take on the boys relationship. Great read.[3]

is Duncan/Methos slash, and it's brilliant. The characterizations are particularly lovely in this one. This is the sort of fic that got me into the Highlander fandom in the first place.[4]
