Summary: Post CAH/Rev, first time Duncan/Methos, flashback Methos/Kronos/Cassandra, pretty twisted, dark stuff, but not utterly hopeless.

Recs and Reviews

In The Bronze Age ## By Mairead Triste, the incredible Shades of Gray includes both D/M and M/K; the sequel, Eclipse is all D/M.[1]

Powerful stuff! Our newest homeless author has given us an intense, deeply disturbing and seriously erotic piece that intertwines Methos' past with Kronos and Cassandra and his changing relationship with MacLeod. This one will stay with you for a long time, and if you're twisted, like us, you'll be begging Mairead for more![2]

I realised that it's become very hard for me to fully enjoy long fics these days. I'm such a perfectionist that any flaw can bother me and niggle at me so that the whole work is tainted by it and I can't lose myself in it. [...] Take the Duncan/Methos, Kronos/Methos fic Shades of Grey I read recently. It's beautiful. God, it's beautiful. Kronos tortures Methos just as Methos tortures Cassandra, there's hot sex and violence in the past and a cool in-control Methos in the present day - but it has the tiny flaw of improbable, OOC dialogue during the D/M sex scene. [...] I still rec it to the skies, though.[3]
