Rhiannon's Eyrie

Rhiannon's Eyrie was the personal fanfiction and recommendation site of Rhiannon Shaw. It was originally hosted by Tripod but moved a few times. It was a member of the Duncan Methos Slash Ring.
The site featured Highlander fanfiction with a strong focus on an original character and some regular Highlander stories. There also were several Highlander/X-Files crossovers. Description from the D/M Webring:

==Arrivals, Introductions, and Interactions==
===Aidan's Arc & Universe===
 These stories follow common characters, some original, most familiar from Highlander: the Series. They occur chronologically in the order listed below. You do not have to read each story to follow the others -- but on the other hand it might help. They're first stories in Aidan's arc and universe. I hope you enjoy the stories, and the people.
 Dramatis Personae: Not actually a story. This is the comprehensive list of characters, both original and R:P/D, showing up through my various stories in Aidan's universe. Gives brief descriptions, stories in which characters appear/are mentioned, and the first episode they were seen in if they're from the Series. (Posted 2/15/00.) Yes, this really will be updated eventually to bring it up to date through Currents, et al. Rhi -
 Hold Fast: rated R for implied f/f sex (2 ofc's). As close to angst as I want to get. What can go wrong if your lover doesn't know you're immortal?
 
 Absent Companions: rated PG-13for discussions of violence and a fight. Nothing in this that couldn't have gone on one of the episodes. An immortal friend of Connor's wanders through Seacouver, and this one may stay.
 Part two
 Quarrels of All Kinds: rated NC-17 for m/f sex (Methos/ofc),violence & gore. A study in the methods of stalking immortals, and their drawbacks.
 Part two
 Part three
 Part four
 Letters on a Page: rated R for mild language, innuendo.
 
 Shadow Plays: rated R for violence and implied m/f sex (ofc/LaCroix of Forever Knight) with some serious kinks. Crossover with Forever Knight. Vampires, immortals, and blood -- oh, my.
 Part two
 Dancing Days: rated RAmanda's here, I'm supposed to rate it at PG-13? Are you kidding? It all started with a security system....
 
 First Harvests: rated NC-17 for m/f sex (Ducan/ofc), strongly implied m/m sex (Duncan/Methos), and a challenge issued by a fugitive from the Fashion Police! Clan Denial, come on in, you're in the right place!
 Part 2
==The Line War==
 Prelude To The Storm: rated NC-17 for m/m sex (Duncan/Methos) and for discussions about rape. What exactly do the Watcher researchers do after hours? And how do you seduce a 5000 year old man, anyway? Especially if you've never seduced a man before?
 part two
 Nosferateu:rated R for m/m relationships, some fooling around. Now open! Home of good jazz, fine wine, intriguing liqueurs, and unique blood types. (Crossover with Forever Knight.)
 When First We Practice: rated PG-13. Not even the mobile disaster zone (Amanda) managed to make this one R rated. Learn how to break and enter without it being theft! Clan Denial, come on in -- the water's a balmy 90 degrees or so, and Rich's doing handstands.
 The Gathering Darkness: Rated NC-17 for m/m/f sex (Duncan/Methos/Aidan) and intrigues in process. Three strong-minded immortals trying to work out a relationship. Kyra's here, too. (You remember Kyra, right? Tall, blond, excessive amnesia for awhile, and some interesting opinions on 'swords' from Season 6's "Patient #7"?) Enjoy!
 part two
 Explanations: rated NC-17 for m/f/m sex (Duncan/Methos/Aidan), for violence, and for BDSM (bondage, dominance, submission, mild masochism). In which questions are answered, and more questions arise, and more answers are demanded....(Posted 12/6/98)
 part two
 part three
 Crystalline Patterns: rated R for implied m/m sex, for implied m/f/m sex, and for more silliness than any one author should have to put up with! Come see the Tuxedo Wars (no TM), the Ice Skating Incidents, the Ambush at Wrapping Central. This is what happens when a story thumbs its non-existent nose muttering in a bad Mexican accent about 'Plot? We don' need no stinkin' plot!' Come on in, if you're in the mood for frivolity! (Posted 12/25/98)
 part two
 part three
Part of me strongly suspects I should be ashamed of myself for this next one, but oh, well, life is short....
 Intermission: rated S for rampaging silliness. This one makes the Christmas party look staid, sober, and respectable.... (Posted 3/23/99)
Right. Back at the line war, we have....
 Intermezzo: rated PG-13 for implied relationships. In which all the plot lines which should have been in Crystalline Patterns finally show up. Plus two birthday parties, some Christmas presents, and a few odd characters. Dirty tricks are us. (Posted 5/1/99)
 part two
 part three
 Poaching: rated R for strongly implied sex, both m/f & m/m, and for the aftermath of physical & emotional abuse. Being a treatise on the care and feeding of new immortals.... (Posted 5/1/99)
 part two
 part three
 part four
 'Oops' Is A Four-Letter Word: rated R for m/m relationships. Mischief, havoc, and misinformation come home to roost.... Have fun, I did! (posted 11/00, I think?)
 Sirocco: rated NC-17. Faith, loyalty, friendship, honor...and hatred, jealousy, envy, desire. War and love, torture and healing. Everything I never wanted to write and a few things I didn't know I could write.
 Be advised -- the rating is for explicit sex, both slash and het, torture, rape, and all sorts of things I don't usually write.
 Final parts posted 6/26/00
 Since this story is arranged by date, you can either go to the individual pages of the story, or you can go to the first entry for a specific date.
 Curents: rated R for ugliness of spirit, odd though that may sound. This is Connor's take on the double quickening. (posted 3/24/01)
 Stormwrack, Driftwood, and Fallen Leaves: Snippets from Sirocco. Rated G to NC-17. These are the tidbits and pruned pieces, in date order, from Sirocco, everything that didn't quite work for the story in that POV, or slowed it down too much, or just didn't quite cut it, somehow. (shrug) And at that, I'm sure there should be more of these, but I don't know where they went. More will be done over the summer as I play with scenes I wish I could have fit into the story. First posted 5/5; updated again on 7/11; updated a 3rd time on 12/4/00. More updates to come.
 Line War Rules: Just what it says. (Posted 5/1/99)
 Scorecard: Unrated. Can't track the players in the line war? Head this way. A comprehensive dramatis personae will be out later. (Posted 1/5/00)
===Aftermaths===
 Second Rate Thief, by Alice in Stonyland: Rated PG-13. Amanda doesn't like being ignored or forgotten.... Especially during things like, oh, line wars? (posted by Alice on 8/11, posted over here 8/25)
 In the Aftermath, by Alice in Stonyland: Rated PG. Rich's mood and contemplations after Sirocco.
 Waking Up and Looking Back, by Mz. Lizzy. Rated PG-13. The follow-up to In the Aftermath, with Rich somewhere in Texas.
 Signs & Portents, by Alyss: Rated PG-13. One result of the events of Sirocco. This one, by the way, is more an X-File than a Highlander piece, but I'm reliably informed that it makes sense even if you aren't familiar with X-Files. Enjoy! (posted 8/25/00)
 Do I Get the Job? by Mz. Lizzy. Rated PG-13. Follows Waking Up and Looking Back, and it's just plain fun! (posted 6/13/01)
 Stained Glass: Rated R, so far, for strongly implied m/m polyamory. *Be warned*: WIP. No complaints accepted. More of the fall-out from the Line War: Aidan, this time. (posted 3/24/01)
 Marc Scipio's journal, undated. Rated PG. Speculation on differences, or lack thereof, between mortals and immortals, by a new student. (posted 3/30/03)
==The X Side of the Force==
===Stories in Aidan's universe===
 Apology Snippet: Rated PG-13. This will get us all into trouble, soon enough. <g> Enjoy. (Posted 10/17/01)
Non-Aidan stories:
 In the Eye of the Storm, by Alyss: rated NC-17 for m/m sex (Mulder/Adam) An Highlander/X-Files crossover. Two men, one hurricane, one night from Mulder's point of view. You'll like it. The original. (Posted 1/22/99) 
 Alyss' other X-Fiction can be found either at the Wolf's Lair, or at her own site, Wolfshaven.
 Stillpoint: rated NC-17 for m/m sex (Methos/Mulder) Also an AU Highlander/X-Files crossover -- told from Methos' POV this time. Same guys, same hurricane, same night, the other side of the events.... I think you'll like this one, too. (Posted 1/22/99)
 I Can See Now: rated PG-13 for implied violence. An alternate X Files universe, a few years down the line. A possible end game for the invasion. (Posted 3/23/99)
 Random Access Memory: rated PG-13, but it's all implied. Because sometimes physical torture would be kinder.... (Posted 6/3/99)
Challenge stories!! Too many of 'em, honestly, but hey, enjoy!!
 Stalking Shadows: rated R for strongly implied pre-slash and for discussions on serial killers, was written by Alyssfor the same Lyric Wheel. This thing makes me want to drag out my old jazz albums. (HL/XF)
 Neap Tide: rated R, although that's probably a bit extreme. My take on Mulder, Krycek, and why the aliens might decide some other property would be more amenable than earth.... (posted 8/3/00) (XF)
 Time & Tide, part 3
 Balance Point: rated R for implied slash. A different look at what might happen when the war is over. (posted 11/2/00) (XF)
 First in the "I Don't Care" Wheel pieces
 Needs Must: rated PG-13. What if Alex was running guns while he was in Hong Kong? And what if one of his customers was immortal? (posted 11/2/00) (XF/HL)
 Second in the "I Don't Care" pieces
 Time & Tide, part 1
 Conclusions: rated PG-13, although it gets rough at the end. Be warned. A missing scene from "Amor Fati". (posted 12/4/00)
 Third in the "I Don't Care" pieces
 One more to come in this sequence: "Moving"
 Etudes in a Minor Key: rated PG-13, for squick, honestly. They wanted me to think like the villains. Surprise. Set in the same universe as Needs Must, apparently. (XF/HL) (posted 1/27/01)
 Time & Tide, part 2
 Prices and Chances: rated R for language. Written for the Undercover Lyric Wheel, and set in the same universe as Breathless & Solidarity by Sleeps With Coyotes, with her permission. (posted 5/9/01)
 Dark Nights & Souls: rated R for disturbing content. A differnent take on what happened in The Red & The Black. Written for the X-Files Lyric Wheel. (posted 8/31/01)
 Doppelganger: rated PG on general principles, as it's an X-File. Written for the XF Word Wheel, with much profanity and many false starts. Now that it's done, I sort of like it. <g> (XF/HL) (posted 11/22/01)
 
 Simple Things: rated PG, simply because Fitz insisted. Written for the XF Glad Wheel (yes, I know, I put FitzCairn and XF in one sentence <g>). Enjoy! (XF/HL) (posted 3/1/02)
 Homecoming: rated PG-13, for some very mild slashiness and language. Written for the XF Endings Wheel. (Technically, XF/HL, but mostly XF) (posted 5/8/02)
 Our Stranger: rated G. Written for the XF Red Shirt Wheel. (XF) (posted 8/22/02)
 We, The Living: unrated, probably PG verging on R. Written for the Red Shirt Wheel, also. No sex, implied violence, among other things. (XF) (posted 8/22/02)
 Symbols, rated PG. Written for the Transports of Love XF Lyric wheel. New car comparisons. You'll see. (posted 3/30/03)
 
 Pinstriped, rated R. Written for the Literary Lyric Wheel and never linked. Odd and unusual curses and the Gunmen.... (posted 3/30/03)
 
 Three of these have turned into a series, which amuses me, since they were written for different challenges. Oh, well:
 The Time & Tide series, in sequence:
 Needs Must
 Etudes in a Minor Key
 Neap Tide
One more to come, I think, although I don't know if it'll be from a challenge or not.
Exodus 22:18 -- ResFic, and an AU of Sleeps with Coyotes' superb Everything Dies series. It's technically an XF/HL crossover, but it's always seemed more a Files piece than Highlander.... Rated NC-17. Be thou warned!! (posted 7/17/01) 
==Free Standing Stories==
===Aidan's Arc & Universe===
 Force of Habit: rated R for implied violence, torture, non-consensual sex. Darius wasn't always a priest, and his relationships with other Immortals haven't always been friendly. (Crossover with Forever Knight.) (Posted 11/15/98)
 Split Hide: rated R for fencing & full frontal nudity. Even immortals get vacations, right? Although Connor still denies this ever happened. Yeah, right.... (Posted 2/13/99)
 Never Swear on the Lady's Honor, by Alice in Stonyland: rated NC-17. Set sometime after Sirocco. No summaries needed: this one is just fun. (posted by Ali 2/?/01; posted over here 2/24/01. I'm late again, you see.....)
 Desolation: No rating. Standing under the pouring onslaught of memories and lives, far down the falling days from the line-war sequence above. It's nothing like I usually write. You have been warned.
 Favors: rated NC-17 for implied violence, torture, non-consensual sex, extremely consensual sex (D/M/Aidan).An old enemy comes through town... and he's not after Aidan's head, exactly. Of course, she may not get to fight him, either. (Posted 9/15/99)
 ...Greatly Exaggerated: rated PG-13, no worse than any episode on TV. After much practice, I brought back Kastagir, rather than Kronos. (posted 10/2/01)
 Miscellaneous Snippets: rated PG-13 at the moment. Currently up, one about Stormy and Damien. Should eventually be part of a story of its own, but at the moment, enjoy! (posted 10/17/01)
 Law of Averages, rated R. An AU of my usual Aidanverse, and this is not my usual Methos or Joe. Well. Not facets they usually show, anyway. Becauese it's not just the immortals they have to worry about. (posted 3/30/01)
===Stories in other HL universes (not Aidan fic <g>.===
 Forces: rated R for mild profanity. It all showed up because I was wondering how Brian Cullen got addicted to booze and drugs.... (posted 1/5/00)
 Persona Non Grata: rated G. (Oh, hush, yes, I really did write this. <g>) To answer a question left in my mind at the end of "Money No Object." (posted 9/12/00)
 The Real Reason 'Endgame' Never Happened: rated R, for thinking like those two k'immies!! Short and to the point. <g> Enjoy -- I certainly did while I was writing it! (posted 1/12/01)
 Drugs Are For Vampires Who Can't Handle Reality: rated PG-13, for nothing worse than you'd see on Buffy the Vampire Slayer or just about any Highlander episode. An immortal with priorities and a vampire with an IQ-deficiency... (posted 1/12/01)
 One Clear Morning, by Rhiannon Shaw and Alice in Stonyland: rated R for m/f interaction. Deals with some of the events in between the end of the first movie and the start of the series. (posted 1/12/01)
 A Deadly Virtue: rated NC-17 for implied torture, non-consensual sex, extremely consensual sex (D/M).
 "I dislike death, but there are things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are occasions when I will not avoid danger." When is a fight someone else's problem? And when is it yours to pick up? (Posted 9/15/99) First published in Futures Without End 2
==Series==
Stories in other HL universes (not Aidan fic <g>):
Horton's Legacy:
 Handled with a Chain: rated NC-17 for darkness of the soul. Written for the Lyric Wheel, and yes, I most certainly did disinfect my mind after I wrote this. What do you take me for? On second thought? Don't answer that, please. (Posted 11/2/99)
 Shards & Links, sequel to Handled with a Chain: rated PG-13.Written because Killa wanted more Joe fic, and bless her for wanting me to do something to clean out my soul.... (posted 12/27/00)
Southern Comfort:
The first two volleys in the Innuendo Wars, although the next Innuendo piece will not be a DM/Matthew story.
 Reflections: rated NC-17 for m/m sex (DM/Matthew McCormick). Duncan's trying to sort out his own emotions and reactions after Rich's death, and runs into Matthew McCormick. First published in Wounded Heroes. Round one of the Innuendo Wars. (posted 7/10/00)
 Form and Substance: rated NC-17 for m/m sex (DM/Matthew McCormick). I give up; it's a series. Duncan's second encounter with Matthew leads both of them to wonder what they want, and from whom. Round two of Innuendo Wars. (posted 3/24/01, despite Tripod)
Time and Tides:
(X-Files, primarily, but it crosses over with Highlander)
 Needs Must: rated PG-13. What if Alex was running guns while he was in Hong Kong? And what if one of his customers was immortal? (posted 11/2/00) (XF/HL)
 Etudes in a Minor Key: rated R on general principles. Written for the X-Files Lyric Wheel, the Villains' Turn. This one was...strange. (XF/HL) (posted 1/20/01)
 Neap Tide: rated R, although that's probably a bit extreme. My take on Mulder, Krycek, and why the aliens might decide some other property would be more amenable than earth.... (posted 8/3/00) (XF)
==Kronos Fic==
Kronos Fic
and other messes Sleeps with Coyotes has gotten me into....
Stories in other HL universes (not Aidan fic <g>):
 Reunions: rated R for implied slash Written for Coyote's Resurrection fic challenge, and because now she owes me a virgin!Connor fic.... (posted 11/2/00) (HL/BtVS, and I don't believe I just typed that....)
 The Old Gods Rise: rated R on general principles. Another ResFic for Coyote. I swear, these things are like eating Pringles.... (posted 4/01)
 
 Imaginings & Incantations: rated R for strong... intentions, shall we say? D/M first time, written because, well, Coyote and I both had a song we wanted to use for a fic.... When she writes hers, I'll link to it. This is not linked to any of my other ongoing series, by the bye. (g) (posted 8/3/00)
 the Alternate Universe that's eating my mind:
 Plus Ça Change: Rated NC-17, for sex, violence, mindcontrol, and all sorts of other squick. Nothing here happened the way the Series had it. What if the Kurgan missed one or two of the immortals in the first movie, and took the heads of one or two who were in the series? What if Voice is real, and it's not just Cassandra who has it? Now. What if Methos never met Alexa before Kronos came back?
 WIP -- you're warned. Rhi
 X-Files fic set in her universes....
 Prices and Chances: rated R for language. Written for the Undercover Lyric Wheel, and set in the same universe as Breathless & Solidarity by Sleeps With Coyotes, with her permission. (posted 5/9/01)
 Exodus 22:18: rated NC-17 for violence. An AU for Everything Dies, and a ResFic to boot, all in one story. Y'know, I'm going to get a reputation for being lazy yet. <g> Please take all warnings at the top of the story seriously, folks. Not really nice. The first couple paragraphs should tell you that, but I'll be redundant for once. (posted 7/13/01) 
 Eroica fic
 ('cause I'd have never read it, much less written it, if it weren't for her)
 Even & Odds: Rated PG, for innuendo and gambling. <g> I mean, doesn't everyone speculate about their bosses behind their backs? (posted 5/19/01)
==Everything Else==
Finally! Something that actually belongs here. (I knew it would happen sooner or later.) So -- Challenge Stories, of various types.
Only one of these takes place in Aidan's universe and it's marked as such. The rest are, for the most part, stand-alone pieces in their own universes. The one or two series are marked as such.
As of 8/3/00 -- not all of these are Highlander. We have X-Files (XF), Forever Knight (FK), and even a Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BtVS) crossover here now. due South isn't here yet, but it'll be marked (dS) when it gets here. From Eroica, With Love is only on another page for the moment, but if it shows up here, it'll be under (Er). If it isn't marked, it's Highlander (HL) universe only.
Yes, I do like playing on challenge wheels -- oops? I'll start marking fandoms for those who don't like mixing and matching their flavors. (Although if you don't, you may be just a little bit lost....)
ABC challenge stories:
This one sounds appallingly simple and thus easy, right? Right. The idea is to write a story where each sentence (not paragraph - sentence) starts with a successive letter of the alphabet. Start wherever you like in the alphabet, run forward or back, but stick to the sequence. Oh, yeah, and it has to make sense as a story, too. Fun, hmm? And here's a link to the Net Cafe where the other stories in this challenge are archived.
Aidan's Arc & Universe:
 Oh, No! Not Another Learning Experience!: Xan, Alex, and Connor picking on a lecturer, and an ABC challenge piece. PG-13 for immortals having too much fun. (posted 12/4/00)
Stories in other HL universes (not Aidan fic <g>):
 Static: an ABC challenge story about mixed signals. Rated PG-13 for pre-slash
 Joe's Journal, 4/28/96: an ABC challenge story (rated PG-13 for all-too-clear Watcher's eyes and some serious innuendo)
"Two-for-One"challenge stories.
Stories in other HL universes (not Aidan fic <g>):
 Lightning: rated PG-13 for the clear eyes of a Watcher. Written for the Poetry Wheel challenge (like a lyric wheel, only we sent poetry) and for Devo's "Where does Methos go?" challenge, where we tried to explain where Methos went all the times he muttered about Bora Bora and/or vanished for a while, only to pop back up without a word
 Fools Everywhere, written for the Watcher Lyric Wheel and for the First Annual Jackie Chan Behead-O-Rama. (Yes, as soon as there's a site for the stories on that one, I'll link to it. I'll probably end up hosting it, actually.) Rated R for implied slash. Not even remotely my usual pairing, and oh, by the way, this pair is canonical, folks. <g> Enjoy, I hope. (posted 8/25/00)
Other Lyric Wheel pieces (all sorts of Lyric Wheels, too)
Stories in other (sometimes HL) universes (not Aidan fic <g>):
These are the only Horton stories I have so far. Let's hope it stays that way.
 Handled with a Chain: rated NC-17 for darkness of the soul. Written for the Lyric Wheel, and yes, I most certainly did disinfect my mind after I wrote this. What do you take me for? On second thought? Don't answer that, please. (Posted 11/2/99)
 Not written for a challenge, but going here anyway: Shards & Links, the sequel to Handled with a Chain. Written because Killa wanted more Joe fic, and bless her for wanting me to do something to clean out my soul.... Rated PG-13. (posted 12/27/00)
Right, back to your regularly scheduled Lyric pieces....
 Challenges: rated R for innuendo, bad duels, and strongly implied slash (m/m) was also written for a Lyric Wheel. Have fun, folks, this one was a blast!
 Neap Tide: rated R, although that's probably a bit extreme. My take on Mulder, Krycek, and why the aliens might decide some other property would be more amenable than earth.... (posted 8/3/00) (XF)
 (Time & Tides, story 3)

 Third in the "I Don't Care" pieces
One more to come in the "I Don't Care" group, eventually: "Moving"

 Doppelganger: rated PG on general principles, as it's an X-File. Written for the XF Word Wheel, with much profanity and many false starts. Now that it's done, I sort of like it. <g> (XF/HL) (posted 11/22/01)
 Simple Things: rated PG, simply because Fitz insisted. Written for the XF Glad Wheel (yes, I know, I put FitzCairn and XF in one sentence <g>). Enjoy! (XF/HL) (posted 3/1/02)

How NOT to send feedback. <g> Yes, I am aware that the people who read this will almost certainly be the ones who don't need to worry about it. But I'm trying, okay? (posted 7/25/01)
Suggestions for sending constructive criticism. I had to write this as a companion to the comments on flames and rudeness. <shrug> It's a quick and dirty guide to not just sending the suggestions but for doing so in a way that ought to get the writer to think about what you said.... (posted 7/25/01)
In Defense of Original Characters. All the reasons that OC does not equal Mary Sue that I could come up with off the top of my head and fit into one structured essay. As well as the reasons that this common fallacy is screwing up original fanfiction, and original fiction, on the Net. (posted 3/30/03)
==Watcher Tales==
Nolens Volens - by Sleeps With Coyotes
Rated R to NC-17 for sex, violence, gore, torture, etc. Be thou warned: this one is Caspianfic, Serialkillernastiness, and not for the faint of heart. It's also appallingly well done, as the lady's stuff always is! But don't say you weren't warned....
Counterpoint - by Alyss
Rated PG-13 for no more violence than you'd find in any episode. "Observe, record, and never interfere." In a small town? Yeah, right! A new breed of Watcher is slowly learning to deal with the realities of the field, and the ideals of the bureaucrats.
The 'Masters at Deception' Arc - by Amand-r
For another take on the Watchers, and a nicely sinister plotline. Besides, if you haven't read everything Amand-r has written, now's your chance. Rated at Amand-r's site.
Life In Wartime - by Lori Wright
Rated PG-13 for violence. A different view, all right -- a Watcher's decline into madness.
The Watcher Report - by Dawn Cunningham
An alternate ending to "The Darkness", not rated.
Last Tango at Joe's - by Vi Moreau
Rated PG-13. Elena Duran and Connor MacLeod under the Watchful eye of Joe Dawson.
Added 10/2/99
Whatever You Say - by Alice in Stonyland
Rated PG-13. Amy knows the truth about Methos... and she wants to know why her father lied to her.
.
jump in the river - by Dana Woods
Rated PG-13. Joe Dawson has made some harsh choices while Watching Duncan MacLeod, and one of them has come back to haunt him.
NOTE -- This link has been changed to the new address. Yes, it works now!! Rhi
Lightning - by Rhiannon Shaw
Rated PG-13 for language, maybe. Gen fic, honest. Joe found something he didn't expect on a blues demo tape -- insight into Methos.
Joe's Journal, 4/28/96 - by Rhiannon Shaw
Rated PG-13 for implied m/m UST. Sometimes your friends see things more clearly than you do.
Added11/2/99
Brave the Smoke -- by Shauna O
Rated NC-17 for m/m. Joe, Amy, Duncan, Methos, and more technology than any Watcher should really be allowed to play with....
Whirlwind of Rebellion -- by Farquarson
Rated PG-13. Read this one, folks. It made me nervous. It deals with James Horton's history, with the Watchers' early handling of problems, and with minds. It's very good.
Handled with a Chain -- by Rhiannon Shaw
Rated NC-17 for squick. There's something about the Lyric Wheel challenges that makes me think like a Watcher, I guess. This is not my usual, and it's not for the squeamish; it was, however, perfect for Halloween.

Proof -- by Boyd
Definitely NC-17 and slash. Proof that some things do fall under a Watcher's category of 'I didn't need to know this!'
Quickenings -- by Janeen Grohsmeyer
Unrated. A Watcher scientific report on the nature of quickenings. Have fun, folks!

To Observe and Record -- by Lady Moonhawke
Rated PG-13. What happens when the Watcher and the immortal are a little too well-matched? What secrets do you keep, which do you give up? And where do oaths come in?
