It's a dream, okay? So don't expect too much. ::G:: But when I woke up and told Rhi about this one, she made me promise to post it, so here goes....
========================================
The Kurgan's sword whistled through the air where Connor's head had been just an instant before, and bit deeply into the wall. The total disarray of the room showed that the fight had been going on for a while, and had been intense. Connor dove frantically to where his sword had been driven from his hand and came up with it in a guard position.
The duel went on... and on... and on. Through the rooms of the mostly-white house, overturning furniture, knocking things from shelves, the giant-like Kurgan driving the smaller man slowly but steadily back, deeper into the house... seeing an opportunity and crashing into Connor, knocking him through another doorway and off his feet.
As the Kurgan brought his sword up overhead with a roar, Connor spotted something out of the corner of his eye, and snatched it up as quickly as he could and held it before him like a shield.
The Kurgan stopped his sword in mid-swing and took a step back, his roar of triumph turning into a howl of indignation.
"Dammit, Christopher, you *promised* you'd leave my stuffed animals out of this!"
The smaller man laughed, got up, and handed the stuffed animal to the other man after claiming an affectionate kiss. "Sorry, Clancy..."
========================================
From there it got considerably steamier, but I'm lousy at writing sex scenes, so you'll just have to use your imagination. ::G::
The gist of it is, Highlander-style Immortals are real, but it's not that Connor and Duncan MacLeod, the Kurgan and the others are immortal... it's that Christopher Lambert, Adrian Paul, Clancy Brown, etc. are Immortals. Their personalities are actually much closer to their "actor" counterparts than the movie versions of themselves ("The Kurgan" in particular is very much a "gentle giant" type, and is in fact rather upset at the way he was portrayed in the film. I don't know what Clancy Brown is really like, but most of the really big people I've known have either been absolutely delightful or total assholes, and I'd prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt) The whole reason the films and the series came about was because they decided that as crowded as the world was becoming, and with all of the recording/monitoring devices, etc., they needed some sort of cover story for when the media eventually captured an Immortal duel.
My mind goes the strangest places sometimes.... ::G::
And I don't go in for RPF, which this is getting very close to, but I thought this one was too amusing not to share.
