Highlander 
Please
read any attached warnings – there are some submissions which qualify in the
“naughty” category (they are clearly marked as containing slash (homosexual relationships)
or adult content – if the story doesn’t say it is slash or adult, then it is
gen). All pairings of characters are welcome here. IDIC, my friends. We all
have our likes and dislikes. Read the story descriptions and skip the ones that
don’t interest you
The Original 2000 Challenge offered by Leah CWPack

Loneliness should be an essential element. How you choose to dwell upon,
resolve or deal with the theme is strictly your choice as author. There are heartstrings
out there needing to be tugged. Go to it.

Twas the Night Before Christmas by Mike Barlow – With regards to Clement Moore (or Major Henry Livingston Jr.

Small Miracles by Celedon – There is a belief in some countries, in France in
particular (IIRC) that all animals are given the gift of speech at midnight as
Christmas Eve turns into Christmas and that the animals retain that power until
the dawn. After that, they become mute again, only to make whatever sounds
their individual species makes until the next Christmas comes once more... (If
I am wrong as to the country, I apologize but it is a belief/legend in some
parts of the world.)
For Remembrance by Leslie Fish– Methos and Joe try to help Duncan
find some peace after Connor’s death.
Settling Stones by Leslie Fish– Duncan helps Connor’s son come

beloved Tessa was heartbreaking, leaving him lost for a long time. How will he
celebrate this first Christmas without her, how will he get through? What if
one more time she is able to come back to him to help him heal?
Methos the Big-Nosed Immie by Leah and Annie – A special cartoon and filk!

Up Near the Treeline by MacNair – Richie Ryan is off on his own
after the fight with Mako, leaving Duncan wrestling with a maze of anxiety and

Eve, Richie Ryan finds himself fighting for his life, high in the South
