Spike ,'Never Leave Me'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
You know you've read waaaaaay too much Highlander fic when you read
"As a baron stood on his neck, [Thomas à] Becket's skull was sliced by a heavy blow, and with a sword's point his blood and brains were scattered on the floor." and you absently wonder who got the Quickening.
Oh, dear, Betsy.
Well, did it say?
I vote for Henry.
Henry wasn't within range.
That's what you think. (Which Henry was it, anyway? Henry II? I can't remember. So much for my "Chaucer's England" class a year ago.)
Henry the ~~handwave. The one who was married to Eleanor of Aquitaine. Who had a *lot* of children and died of natural causes, so not so much with the Immortality.
Also, I have decided that the real reason Immortals are infertile is that otherwise Duncan would be the father of half Europe by now.
Henry II. Which I only know because of The Lion in Winter.
Now I'm imagining Peter O'Toole in Highlander, but the Henry in my imagination has mysteriously aged back to O'Toole circa Lawrence, with golden hair and flashing baby blues.
You know what is really weird? O'Toole in Lawrence is only 7 years younger than O'Toole in Lion. And the latter is probably only about 7 years older than his "son", Anthony Hopkins.
That is acting!
