highlander story wishlist

cimorenei want:
+a story in which duncan and methos have only gradually been able to become comfortable together again, where they've gradually grown more physically affectionate than we see in the series, but set before they actually start having sex. set in the fluffy sunny happy time of pleasant anticipation. only mild angst would be remotely acceptable. ...maybe i've just had enough angst (something that's way easy to do in this fandom.)
+a story in which methos tells mac scathingly, and at length, how stupid he is. canon engendered this wish. the guy is just begging for a smackdown.
+a story without the phrase "his lover" in it one single time. (i know, dream on, right?)*
+a story in which methos is a sucky sword-fighter (fits canon evidence, even though it makes no sense whatsoever).
+a story in which methos doesn't pine or in any other fashion act like a wet noodle (or a teacup poodle, for that matter). i have no objection to his being unrequitedly in love or whatever. i mean, it's easiest to interpret canon that way, so have a party. but a hard methos! a sarcastic, witty, intelligent, opaque, often angry, cautious and untrusting methos--remember him? from on the screen?
+a story that's angsty, with dialogue that's in-character, WITHOUT melodrama. hahahahaha.
on another note: a passion that burned with the intensity of an entire city aflame. HAHAHAHAH.
*okay, i've probably even read one, but when you've read ten in a row that sprinkle it about like powdered sugar on lemon bars, they gradually erase the memory of the appositive-free fic until all that remains is blind, hating, style-policing editor's RAGE.

no, i have nothing about him personally. in fanvids he's a lot more attractive cause they take out all the bad angles. (i was watching the ones by killa and melina yesterday...)

The first time they show up Elizabeth asks in an almost incredulous voice "Does Peter have on red pants?", and then the next time Methos comes along, in black jeans this time, someone kind of sing-songs "Here comes Methos!", and Peter chimes in with "Me changes pants!"
OMG. So. Dead. Of the cute. Although I guess it's one of those you-had-to-be-there moments. But, but, akfgbmlmblerfkb.
Damn you, Peter Wingfield. Damn you to hell.
