Reactions and Reviews
Two recs in one: Te's Rising is a sequel to Kat Allison's The Parting Glass, and if you haven't read that, I highly recommend it. (an understatement, because The Parting Glass is one of my top five favorite stories on the net.)
Te captures and sustains the mood of Kat's story, giving us a rather bleak vision of the future and how Duncan is living in it. Still, despite its grim scenario, I get the sense that Duncan is being tempered, drawing closer to Methos' experiences and perhaps even at some future date understanding him. In Rising we get glimpses of that progress (though Te might not agree with me that it's progress <g>), the necessary pain of accepting what is beyond his control, and the anger and resentment---and maybe at some points, serenity---of accepting his own weaknesses. Or maybe that's just me, and the vision the story inspires in me. Go read it, and let me know what you think <g>.[1]
