        Well, I have pretty much exhausted the delights of the HLFIC web
archive, so I guess if I want more I have to make more.  I don't know why more
stories aren't coming to the list now, since in-between season seems to me like
a great time for speculative stories.  For example: I inquired about Joe
Dawson's legs and was told that there is no canonical explanation _yet_ for why
he needs a cane.  But an episode dealing with Joe's past is supposedly in the
works for next season, so I decided if I was going to put my own explanation in
a story, I'd better hurry up before the new season starts.  I also decided that
for my story Joe would have only one artificial leg.
        So here it is.  I've only seen four episodes so far, but I'm the alert
type and I _think_ I managed to avoid tromping on established canon.  If I'm
wrong, tell me gently.  If the story's lousy, be as harsh as you like.  I'd
appreciate lots of feedback.

P.S.  I couldn't think of a good name for the story, so I used the MacLeod clan
motto, even though it's probably not the same one they used back in the
sixteenth century.
