I have this idea that Methos doesn't take regular students. He did that and got bored with it millenia ago. So now he takes students that no one else would think to train.
I have this idea that there's some apparently-60-year-old matronly woman who's a librarian in the same small town she grew up in. It's just that she's been the librarian there for as long as anyone can remember, and she's training in sword-fighting of all things with that nice young man who comes through once a month.
And maybe there's this one large mafia family that the police are always investigating in one way or another. But there are a couple of oddities. One of them is that they do weapons smuggling, but it's almost all small-scale. And odd weapons, like swords and daggers and things. And one branch of the family is almost always fostering a preteen girl. There's always some girl, somewhere in the family, who didn't grow up from an infant and doesn't go on to grow up into an adult. Why is this mafia family always opening themselves up to strangers in the house? And her "tutor" is someone no one has been able to track.
