For all you shatter is our seeming, And in breaking we are free

Over on comment_fic, ammcj062 just left me a Highlander fill for the prompt: "We are to them as passing shadows". It's really short, Joe considering Methos, and it's awesome!

I was idly thinking about Highlander/Dresden Files crossovers, since apparently I'm in the mood to cross Methos into the Dresden Files universe. I've done Methos meets Michael Carpenter, Methos and The Archive across the aeons, and now Methos trolling the White Council, and I was idly wondering who else I'd like to see him encounter in the DF 'verse. *grins faintly*

The first two thoughts that popped into my head were him meeting:
a) Butters, because Methos dealing with Butters' resigned "For gods sake, I've had enough damned necromancy, can't you people pick a different morgue?" would be hilarious, and they could probably have some interesting discussions on medicine for the fantastic
and b) Murphy and Kincaid, because Methos on holiday in Hawaii finding himself in the middle of whatever made a romantic getaway between Murph and the Hellhould 'interesting' would, again, be damned funny (and kinda awesome).

The one I wouldn't want him to meet is Morgan, because that would end badly for him. Morgan is his equal in combat pragmatism (the man nuked a skinwalker when it became apparent that he couldn't beat it the old-fashioned way), his superior in power and range (got within yards of the Red King, was willing and possibly able to take on a zombie T-rex), and has exactly the kind of rigid morality to make any honest interaction between them fraught with danger. Of course, Methos could always lie to him, but generally speaking Morgan is exactly the kind of trouble Methos goes out of his way to avoid borrowing.

But, anyway! While I'm busy thinking of crossover encounters, why not a quick meme:

Give me two characters from different fandoms you know I'm familiar with, and I'll give you a dialogue happening between the two of them. Without justifying how the crossover would work, how their worlds clashed, or how they could even meet each other. Just a silly crossover conversation with no backstory, for fun.

Short thing. For a prompt by marbleglove over on comment_fic, who wanted Methos and the Archive.

Title: And She The Page
Rating: PG-13
Fandoms: Highlander, Dresden Files
Characters/Pairings: Methos & the Archive
Summary: He writes his journals for her
Wordcount: 535
Disclaimer: Not mine

It seems, whenever I can't write, when no other muse at all will speak to me, either Methos or Crowley will step in. *shrugs, smiles faintly* I've no idea why.

Though, I can't guarantee quality -_-; I think there's something vaguely hysterical about this, for some reason ... *shrugs sheepishly* There's always something wonky about my Methos fics.

Title: First
Rating: R (for violence, mostly)
Fandom: Highlander
Characters/Pairings: Methos. Mentions of Duncan, Joe, a few others in passing
Summary: Who was the first immortal you killed? What was the first head you took?
Wordcount: 2416
Warnings: Fairly graphic violence, and Methos waxing philosphical (and depressing)
Disclaimer: Not mine. Possibly thankfully -_-;

It probably says something about how exhausted and mildly hysterical I am that I have spent the past couple of hours, in between yelling at an essay, working out Methos' chances of survival/effectiveness as a combatant in HP's Second War. You know. To relax. Because what else do you do to relax except ponder taking a 5000 year old muggle killer and dumping him in the middle of a wizarding war to see how easily he kills people. *shakes head at self*

It occurs to me that I am rather bloodthirsty when I'm irritable. Heh. Also, that I need to stop reading HP fic again. Heh.



And finally, in a bit of a non sequiter, I kinda really, really want to see Methos meeting the high-and-mighties of the Wizarding World, and being thoroughly unimpressed because, over one and a half thousand years ago, Methos was meeting much more impressive wizards (*cough*Merlin*cough*) and showing them how to bully kings. *grins* Or three, four, five thousand years ago, he was watching the Priest-Kings and the War Mages of the old world rain down literal fire and brimstone, and as a result is more than a little jaded when it comes to magical posturing. Heh.

Rough and ready, because I've got to go study now, and eat, but howandever.
