Fic: HL/SGA fusion drabble

[wickedwords]

For workerb, who brought up the idea so I had to run with it.


The first time a wraith feeds on him, they know he is different. A drone puts his hand on Methos' chest, and the quickening energy spills out into its hand, tearing away a tiny piece of someone else's soul. Startled, the wraith reports it, as Methos doesn’t age. From the quickening of a child to the quickening of a bed-ridden dodderer, the wraith pluck and consume the souls Methos had taken, each one a different taste, a different feel, like a gold chocolate box. He becomes the hive queen's own, a special treat for celebration days.

And he never dies.

Sane. Huh. Is Methos ever completely sane? He's good enough to be able to keep going, that's for certain. And he still doesn't know what's happened to Duncan.

(Oh, god, this is horrid. I now have yet another unwritten crossover epic in my brain, involving Methos being taken by the Wraith and ending up in Pegasus, and Duncan having to track him down, and getting involved with the Trust, and from there to SG-1, and...and...and... ::headdesk:: Why can't I write as quickly as the images flow into my brain? It would be so much simpler.)

Y'know, maybe I should just fly up north and flop out at your feet and you could tell me a story. :->

NooO! Because I want to read the long, angsty, plotty, smutty tale, and so I'd have to go with you, and we'd get distracted and watch vids, or DVDs (a rotation of SG-1, SGA, and HL) to get Rache in the mood, and then she's start talking about the bruises/blood thing, and how bruisers are best paired with bleeders, the palettes of Stargate, and how Methos went on his 1000 year spree of violence because of a tragic need for shortbread cookie recipes.

We'd post the recipes for shortbread, and it would be so wonderful that everyone would run off to make them (and eat them). No one would work because they were too busy making shortbread, world economies would collapse (except 24-hour health clubs and Weight Watchers), Jenny Craig would become the new spiritual leader, and civilization as we know it would END.

So, no.

Besides... *think* about it. A one-time telling vs a luscious hardcopy that I er, YOU could savor over and over... HL, Stargate... Jack, Rodney, Methos... a great meeting of the Snarkmeisters.

MmmmMmmmm.... And no one's economy has to collapse.

Jack, Rodney, Methos... a great meeting of the Snarkmeisters.

It occurs to me as I re-read this that they are all bleeders. Hmm.

I'm not sure where that's going in my head, if anywhere, but it's interesting.

Daniel, John, Duncan... bruisers. Hmm.

I knew there was a reason why I loved you. :->
