selenakBlake's 7:
Yesterday was Gauda Prime day; here are two of my favourite PGP classics, bywatervole, one as dark as the final episode, one while having its share of darkness also full of hope:
The Third Option The Third Option: in which Servalan makes a fatal miscalculation.
Morgan: in which Avon comes across a man resembling Blake physically but not in character, and two damaged people help each other.
Highlander:
Yesterday was also solstice, which is Duncan McCleod's birthday. Again, I have two old favourites to reccommend, by the same author, Parda, one light and one dark.
Once More, With Horseman is a hysterical filking of the episodes Comes a Horseman/Revelations 2:6 to the tunes of the Buffy episodes Once More, With Feeling. Choice samples include:
Methos
You took the dagger out!
Kronos
I took the dagger out!
to the tune of the mustard, obviously, and Cassandra singing This is a man/ that I can happily strangle,/ He's total slime./His claim to fame /was to maim and to mangle,/ Now vengeance is mine! to Anya's duet with Xander. Read and giggle (especially if you're familiar with both fandoms, but even HL-only fans should have a laugh).
Changed Utterly, by contrast, is a great character story, set about a year after the show ends, wherein Duncan is still dealing with Richie’s fate when he sees Cassandra again. Not present in body but very much in thought are Methos, Connor and Richie. What to do when you’ve both done and experienced the unforgivable is a question with a dozen answers and none, and all the characters here are dealing with it. Poetic and profound.
