In your opinion, what is HL's most characteristic Methos episode? That is, which episode has the character's most archetypal, exemplary, canonically representative and consistent patterns of speech and behavior?

I've previously posted about the nice things that I received in my own Fandom Stocking this year, and about the neat things that I spotted in other people's Fandom Stockings, so tonight I thought I'd point out the items that I stuffed into some Fandom Stockings myself. I didn't create as widely or well as I'd have liked, but I did have fun writing:

Highlander: "Lazarus Heart" (Methos/Alexa, 918 words, G) (beta-read by celli!) for beccadg's wish
I'd never tried Methos/Alexa before, but the attempt turned out surprisingly satisfying for me. I hope that it works as well for readers, and doesn't bog down when I poke around inside Methos's head for a bit in the middle.

Forever Knight: "In Pursuit of the Paladin" (Lacroix & Natalie with Nick implied, 991 words, PG) (beta-read by skieswideopen!) for pj1228's wish
This led me to a new approach to the ever-vexing problem of how to write for fellow FK fans who personally prefer "dark" takes that I can't support, myself. Here, I imagined a "bright" scenario that I'd love, but told it from Lacroix's perspective. It worked better for me than some past, straining attempts to approach "dark" prompts, but I don't know whether it really bridges the problem of sufficient respect for preferences I can't share. Maybe it's better not to try? There are so few of us! Are mismatches better than no matches, or not?

A handful of fanfiction "gift certificates" in FK and HL for stories to be posted to the AO3 sometime in 2014
(Four have been redeemed/accepted so far. Coincidentally, that's the same number I still owe from the last time I tried this — you know who you are. ~grin~)

I don't talk about it as often, but I am very much a Highlander fan, too. These days, I read HL mostly via the

hl_flash bulletin. Here are some gen pieces from there that I've enjoyed recently:

"Fight Another Day" by sholio (PG, ~1K words, Duncan and Methos and Amanda). Duncan loses a hand (as Xavier St. Cloud did) and holds on to his honor.

"Watcher" by elistaire (G, 320 words, Joe, implied Duncan/Tessa). It's the '80s. As Joe watches Duncan, he also gets to know Tessa.

"Next Time, Buy a Ferrari" by medie (PG, ~2K words, Methos and Connor and Heather, implied Connor/Heather). What if Methos, rather than Ramirez, had taught Connor?

"Convent Mouse" by elistaire (G, ~2K words, original character, Methos, implied Methos/Alexa). This predator and this prey... are both survivors.

"Spring" by devohoneybee (G, 69 words, Methos). A poem.

•	Date:	February 2005
•	Rating:	G
