#methos

Do you ever randomly remember a character from an old movie/tv-series/book you used to really like when you were, like, nine? A character you didn't really think about all these years, to the point where you forgot what their name even was? And then you remember, read a wiki page about them, then look at the stuff you write right now and go: "Ohhh... That certainly explains a few things".

Because this was me today with Methos from ye olde Highlander TV series. Damn, he was cool.

And yeah, I guess there's a reason why my fanfics (especially the unpublished ones) are so ridiculously dramatic and sappy. And you, mister "Because the alternative is unthinkable", are definitely a part of the problem!

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Highlander The Series Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Joe Dawson [Highlander the Series], Methos [Highlander] Additional Tags: Canon Typical Violence, Charity Auction, Road Trips Summary:

Joe and Methos set out on a road trip, and eventually get a more solid clue for why they are traveling.

So the fact that I *ship* ship Kronos and Methos, that I look at them and go "oh there is no way that is platonic" is noteworthy.

Usually when I'm doing that it's because the canon has palpable and often deliberate subtext (cf Mysterious Lotus Casebook).

But Kronos and Methos, I take one look at Kronos and I'm like "oh yeah, that's the crazy ex and there's weird noncon whumpy stuff mixed up with those millenia of mind games all right".

Completely unsurprising that the ship I *ship* ship has built in whump and isn't bosom friends or something nice like that.
