A Cult Hero Stars in a Racier Fantasy

An excerpt from a slash fiction based on the syndicated fantasy television series “Highlander,” in which the character Duncan MacLeod is a sword-wielding immortal, as is his friend Methos:

He was tired, he realized, stifling a yawn as he finished up in the kitchen. He couldn’t help it; as he headed to bed, his gaze strayed towards the couch, where Methos had already settled in, nothing much showing save his nose and the dark thatch of his hair. Duncan’s fatigue-hazed mind filled in the details, guessing boxer shorts and nothing else under the down comforter. How clearly he remembered that beautiful, pale skin against his own, those taut curves of muscle and sinew in a body so eloquent in its passion that it could make a convert even out of a devoted lover of women like himself.

“Stop thinking about it,” he ordered himself sternly. “You’re just making yourself crazy.”
