I'm proud to introduce a new story. It is a Xover with Witchblade and
is the first story in a soon to be trilogy. It can be found on my
website, however if you wish to receive it in small email messages,
let me know. This first story is set in the Witchblade universe with
the addition of a few HL characters, and is kind of an introduction to
the characters in Witchblade. The next two stories, will contain the
other main HL charcters as they become embroiled in Kenneth Irons and
Ian Nottingham's lives.
Title: Circles
Author: Lori Wright
Rating: G
Date: November, 2002
Characters: (WB)Sara Pezzini, Ian Nottingham, Jake McCarty, Kenneth
Irons, Bruno Dante.
(HL) Cassandra, Methos. Appearances by the other
characters.
Summary: After the great rewind, Sara finds help from two Immortals in
dealing with her problems. This is another way season two could have
progressed. Elements from both seasons have made an appearance here.
Notes: Several flashbacks from Joan of Arc's life included. I tried
to be as historically correct as possible under the circumstances.
Status: Finished

one, please ask. I like to know where my stories end up.
Category: Xover-Witchblade and Highlander
Disclaimer: This story is a crossover between Witchblade, owned by Top
Cow and Warner Brothers and Highlander who is owned by Rysher and
Panzer/Davis. I would like to thank Gregory Widen for introducing us
to the Highlander universe, which enabled Panzer/Davis to invent such
characters as Duncan MacLeod, Methos, Joe Dawson and Cassandra. Ralph
Hemecker was the main writer for the television's version of
Witchblade, and I have borrowed some great dialogue from the show.
None of the characters belongs to me and no money has been or will
ever be earned by me from this endeavor.
I have taken some facts from the Watcher CD and have presented them
here as canon. The first is that Adam Pierson's identity was unveiled
as Methos during the Horseman incident and Amy Zoll was assigned as
the Methos researcher and Timothy Wyatt as his field Watcher. I have
introduced the name Harold Wyatt (Timothy's father) as Jake McCarty's
mentor. Melanie Hinds is listed as Cassandra's Watcher.
This story begins at the great rewind in Witchblade, which is the end
of season one and the beginning of season two. I have added a date,
that seems realistic, but is not canon. This story is my vision of
how season two should have proceeded given the intervention by the
Highlander characters. Kenneth Irons is alive and well. He did not
attempt to take the Witchblade back from Sara, so their fight and
his subsequent death did not happen. I have made Jake McCarty a
Watcher and Bruno Dante his Immortal assignment.
Circles is but the first story that I am planning in an ongoing saga.
Already its sequel is buzzing (pardon the pun) around in my brain
anxious to be written.
I would like to thank my numerous betas for helping me make this very
long story into something coherent, readable and hopefully enjoyable.
Shomeret read it as both a work in progress and a first draft and
offered many insightful suggestions. Merrie Gail, my Joan of Arc
guru, helped me throughout the writing process with both ideas and
subtleties of diction. Tirnanog, who (lucky for me) is an expert in
fencing, helped me orchestrate the sword fights and medieval battles.
Cindy and Shallan have both read through drafts and came up with some
excellent suggestions. Janeen Grohsmeyer is my grammar and canon
expert. She pointed out various mistakes that had slipped through the
net, especially my misusage of comas. Through her tireless rereads
and suggestions I was able to sculpt a story from an obsessive idea
that wouldn't leave me alone. Thanks everyone!
Enjoy.
