Summary

Such

a Grave Joy comes in two parts. This is the preamble, the bit I didn't

write, the moment you have to understand before the story plays itself

out. In all honesty, I would suggest that you skip this bit and read it

when you've finished the story, but for the sake of clarity I've pasted

it in here.

November

1997

The

world's oldest boy scout and its longest lived immortal get together over

a kitchen worksurface, one of the ones supposed to be used for breakfast.

Methos is searching for something he will very shortly forget he ever

needed. Duncan is making coffee and idly watching the old man empty his

pockets. Methos has peppermints, keys, a bus ticket, a penknife, two taxi

receipts, a condom, an oiled handkerchief. Duncan picks the green packet

out of the clutter and taps it on the table. He looks up, and their eyes

meet. It's Duncan who reaches out, Methos who folds, surprised out of

cynicism, into the Highlander's embrace.
