Re: From NaArMaMo

Methos as Salazar...that is brilliant! Where would I find those stories?

Well, they exist, but I didn't say they were good. (looks in records anyway)

This is the only one I can find info about:

"Comes A Slytherin"
http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/lady_lance/CAS.html
Harry's Immortal. Methos is Salazar Slytherin. Snape becomes a Watcher and Duncan is just plain confused. A Highlander crossover in which (amongst other things) Harry learns that Slytherin isn't as bad as he would seem.

It has a number of failings, so I couldn't finish it. Info-dumps, grammar mistakes, people calling Adam "Methos" even though it's supposed to be a SECRET, random time travel... it does also have some good bits in it, but not enough to redeem it, IMHO.
(Oh and it has Duncan/Methos slash in the background, if that makes you more or less inclined to read it)

As a contrast, my favourite HP/HL crossover is this one:

"Death And Betrayal"
author: MarbleGlove
universe: Harry Potter, Highlander
url: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2067949/1/Death_and_Betrayal
length: Novelette
category: Crossover, Mentor, AU Divergent Timeline
characters: Methos, Severus Snape
description: Methos takes a young Severus Snape under his wing.

This one gives us a deliciously ambiguous and dangerous Methos.
