This story was mothballed years ago, but recent events in France have made me think I need to post it. People on HL Crossroads might recognize this as my old WIP "Forest for the Trees," but I decided that's an uncommonly stupid title <g>. I'll try not to apologize too much for the now much overused "double quickening." It seemed a lot fresher five years ago. Title: Beyond Bordeaux (was Forest for the Trees) Rating: NC-17 slash DM/M Disclaimer: Some of these characters are mine, but the important ones - MacLeod, Methos and Cassandra, belong to DPP. Thanks: Killa gave me wonderful beta help a few years ago, and I can't thank her enough for her generosity to a total stranger. BUT I have to say she didn't get to finish massaging this with me, because I mysteriously dropped the whole project, and she has not seen this finished version, so she is not responsible for any remaining weirdness. I also remember well receiving a lot of help from many kind people at HL Crossroads. Thank you, thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find.
