Ficlet: Highlander, Methos & Kronos

[marbleglove]

So a while back I discovered Comment_Fic, which provides daily prompts for little snippet fics. I have found some really wonderful fics there and more prompts that I wish had small fics attached to them. If you are looking for mini prompts, definitely check out:





I had a particularly good day today and was in the mood to post a fic bit of my own, in response to tigriswolf's prompt: 

Highlander, Kronos/Methos, sometimes they just sat in the tent, talking about the future.

And oops, okay, they're not in a tent.

sheesh... now I have one more reason to try to find a proxy for LJ while here at work... looking forward to reading your snippet

[lita_of_jupiter]

you should prompt some of your bunnies...

[marbleglove]

I thought of it a few times, but my prompts have a tendency to grow out of control and even when I manage to keep it to a one-liner I then stalk them to see if anyone's responding and then I feel more than a bit crazy.

[lita_of_jupiter]

heh, I know the feeling... afterall it isn't as if I don't desperately stalk you to feed your bunnies *shrugs*...

it does make for oodles of fun though


and I loved the conversation between Kronos and Methos about Sloth...

Maybe that is the real reason Cassandra was so angry... the horsemen were lazy and kept thinking and having fun while her and the slaves had to work all the time... she had been very jealous of that

[marbleglove]

Hee. My bunnies eat everything they can get. Oh no, I have obese bunnies!

And oh yes. Cassandra is pissed... death comes to everyone after all, but sloth! Her village's killers and her new masters aren't even hard working types. Instead they loll around on a fair day and daydream about flying! That is simply too much, she can forgive the killings and the slavery, but not the sloth.

Especially since she is the one that has to go and find a river to wash all the mess they make when trying to find games to amuse themselves with....

She absolutely will kill whoever thought that slinging balls of paint into each other would make a fun sport...

there she is slaving over the bonfire, washing their dirty laundry while they sit around watching the clouds... they could be at least out and conquering something but noooooooo... they have to recline in luxury and play with pets...

Hee. Can you just imagine the conversation with Duncan?

"Do, do you want to talk about your experience with the Horsemen? If you need to talk, you know I'll always listen, don't you, Cassandra?" Duncan knew he had to offer even though he really didn't want to hear about all the horror his friend had committed so many years ago, the killing, the rape, the stealing, etc. But if Cassandra needed it, he would be there for her.

"It was horrible. Do you know they didn't even go raiding all that often! Like, only once or maybe twice a year! Everyone worked, everyone! But they just moved camp from one natural orchard to another, across the continent, set a few traps, and did a bit of pleasure hunting. All humans lived from year to year if not from day to day, and they just, they lay around, and did what they wanted, including talking heresies! They barely raided when it wasn't necessary!"

Duncan blinked. "Um." That wasn't what he had been expecting. "Heresies?", he finally decided to ask, as the only response he could come up with.

"One time when Methos insisted that I not do my proper chores, he wanted me to tell him how to force plants to grow where he wanted them rather than where the spirits wanted them!"

"Uh, you mean farming?"

"I mean going against the will of the spirits!"

Duncan was beginning to believe Methos when he had said that the world was different back then.

[lita_of_jupiter]

~And Silas? He betrayed the spirits trust by attempting to make their horses the fastest and stronger ones by controling which one could and could not mate... unforgivable!


hehehe...

why does Duncan think Ramirez was such a bon vivant?

When you get really old your values are little distorced...
