kissing ficlets: Methos/Cassandra

[sparklebutch]

Title: Stockholm
Fandom: Highlander
Characters: Methos, Cassandra
Summary: first kiss challenge
Request: mallyns, Methos/Cassandra
Warning: probable trigger, as expected by the pairing.





He hadn't kissed her for a long while.

He raped her. And he used her, and he hurled her across the tent and he killed her a dozen times, and he bit her sometimes when he was inside her, but never kissed. She didn’t expect him to. She didn't want him to.

That's probably why he eventually did.

She struggled when he held her head tight and forced her to open her mouth, and she spat in his face and he slapped her so hard she blacked out. She came to and he was still sliding his tongue into her mouth, and she bit it nearly all the way off. He strangled her.

When she came to this time, he was cradling her head in his lap. Smiling and his eyes were nothing but warm tenderness. She narrowed hers in suspicion.

The next kiss was gentle, caring. He held her hand, and very softly touched her cheek. There was no pain, no violence. Eventually she surrendered, and for a while felt protected.

A few days later he raped her again.

Oh, *shivers* and *shudders,* but very well done.

*hugs you*

Yow. Not enough to be raping her body - he needs the mind fuck, too. *shivers*

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

That's what he did. I'm guessing that's why she remembered him for so long.

[mallyns.livejournal.com]

Perfect as always.

It's so spot on. I love how Methos fucks with people. There needs to be more fic from the time of the H'men. Correction there needs to be more *good* fic. Which your fics are.

Thank you very much, *warm*.

People seem to explore Methos, but never push the limits. Self included. Gotta wonder what goes on in that head...

Educate me? Why is this expected because of the pairing?

Methos is a bad, bad man. Apparently.

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Canon made it so. Remember I gave you a soundbyte and said it's only hot if you ignore context entirely? That's the thing.

Methos is a man of many layers, and is far too old for "good" and "bad". But yeah, there's a lot of bitterness in pretty much everyone who knew him :)

[mischief5.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That's him.

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

...And then some weren't so light.

It is him, and many people forget that because they like him to be a fluffy puppy*.


*you should know more Buffy quotes.

I never did get into Buffy. I don't know why. Maybe because it's set in a high school and Buffy was a cheerleader. Hated both with a purple passion. Oh, well.

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

Buffy was a cheerleader for all of two eps. You just got on the wrong foot.

Ask calime33 or crazy4rog for details. Trust me on that.

that's just how I imagine Methos would be like then

Thank you very much :) I too support the theory that Methos was powerful, not weak.
