Dear all,

Maybe someone can help me.
I am looking for a Fanfic about Methos and Duncan.
In this Story Methos vanished. To convince him to come back Duncan seeks the help of Gina.

Can someone remember this nice Story and know where to find it?

Thank you
Faith

The last days were really relaxing as in Austria we had public holiday on 8th of December. This year this was a Thursday. In my company we have all bridge days free as well which leaded to the nice effect that I had vacation from Thursday to Sunday.

So we took the opportunity to make a short travel to Czech Republic. In this view days we visited Prague (from Thursday to Saturday) and České Budějovice(Saturday only). Who is we actually - well usually the most of the time its only us, meaning my husband and myself, but in this case 2 friends joined our short trip.

It was really nice in Prague. We did a lot of sightseeing - we visited the Prague castle, city hall and many other famous places there. In addition we took the opportunity to stay many times at the Christmas Markets to drink some punch. The markets are really snuggish and the atmosphere was very Christmassy.

Afterward our stay in Prague we drove to České Budějovice which is really famous for their brewery. Unfortunately I am not really fond of beere. But the others really liked it.

So if you have the opportunity to go to Europe once a short side trip to Prague is recommended. But to be honest 1 day for Prague is enough. It is not necessary to stay there for 2 or even 3 days.

As many other people I can't hardly wait till the new hlh_shortcuts stories are available.

Therefore in the meantime I browse constantly in the internet to search for stories I have never read about Highlander, especially Fanfic regarding Methos/Duncan. Unfortunately this does not happen often that I find a story I didn't read before, but that does not keep me from looking. :-)

Anyway in my little research I stumbled across a story again I love dearly. I think in the meantime I probably read it almost ten times.

In case you don't know this one I really would recommend it - it is called "Tant que je vive" from the lovely [personal profile] mandragora (I hope you don't mind my rec here).

It's a beautiful lovestory, a little angst, told from Methos POV. It's an exploration of love and it's cost as well.

The story can be found at:
Part 1: http://www.angelfire.com/home/pandoemonium/mandragora/tantive1.htm
Part 2: http://www.angelfire.com/home/pandoemonium/mandragora/tantive2.htm
Part 3: http://www.angelfire.com/home/pandoemonium/mandragora/tantive3.htm

A little warning: This story involves sex between two men. It's rated NC17 for m/m sex and violence. For all not interested/too young - don't click on the links.

So if you have some suggestions as well to shorten my waiting time - please fill free - I really would appreciate that.

After having a "almost" totally relaxing weekend the new working days are starting "almost" promising as well.

Why "almost"?
Regarding the weekend - First of all we had to do a little work outside our house. We installed a motion sensor for the light, so it is not so dark when you go outside at the evening/night. The negative side behind is that it is still not working, meaning that the light unfortunatley does not switch on. Don't ask me why, because I am not really a technican. And in addition it was really freezing outside. At the moment we have about 0°C. Which is not really my liking. But the positive side is, the sensor is installed. The rest we will see. :-)
Regarding the working days - well I had a workshop yesterday, meaning I had to work later than usual, but from todays point of view the next few days will be rather quiet.

So this is a good opportunity to make plans for the upcomming weekend already. We plan to make a girls evening on Friday. First we would like to go to the cinema and afterwards I assume we will drinking some cocktails in a bar. I am really looking forward to that and I can't wait till it's Friday.

is a song by the Boomtown Rats written by Bob Geldof. I think you all know this song and it really represents my feelings today.

First of all almost hundreds of Emails waiting in my Inbox to be looked and answered at. Second the necessarity of having a task to be finished today with no change of prolongation. Third no change to start the task before, as the database was only provided in total by today. Fourth - there are some errors in one of the work of one colleagues which has an influence on the outcome of the task. Fifth - same collegue telling me she is already almost out of the door as she is only working part time and therefore she will not be in the office even one second longer. And as she already send the file in the Morning I had enought time to check the data. Seems I have nothing else to do. Sixt - this leads to the fact that I can do an estimation on my own, although this is not part of my job, but finishing the total task is. If I would think some time I assume I could mention a few other points. But 6 is enough. :-)

So what can we learn from this - in the end you are on your own. That is also the reason I prefer to do things on my own. Because sometimes in cases like this it seems that in the end, the only one I can rely on is myself. So much for the whole teambuilding we had last week. But actually this is no suprise in the end.

But on the other hand I really had a nice weekend. Very relaxing. I look forward to the next one and hope the few days in between will vanish immediately.

... so I am home again. The last two days we had a teambuilding workshop in my company with the purpose to get to know each other better.

Before we had the teambuilding I was already a little worried about it. In similar seminars we had almost had a real conflict, as we also had to give totally honest feedback to all of us. In general I think giving feedback is really a good opportunity to learn/advance yourself. But this could really also go into the wrong direction as some peopole who really had issues in receiving feedback. And the atmosphere was therefor really bad afterwards.

But this time the external people we had who leaded this workshop were quite good. They really managed the whole semniar quite well. Feedback to others was reduced to minium. The focus was more on teamwork and managing the exercises within the whole group. The only challanging thing for myself was to climb up a high ladder with a very small plattform (50 cm diamter) on it. You had to stand up on this plattform in a quite high. Seems I am getting problems with hights the older I get. But in the end I still was able to manage that. :-)

Well just to summarize - it was better than expected, but still I am happy to be home again. And as it is weekend now I have some time for reading and some other hobbies. :-)

What a day

... Thank god my working is finished now and I am on my way home. 😃

I have to tell you i really hate such long days and I pressume the whole week will stay this way. But in some minutes I will be in my train for the next 1,5 hours - so a lot of time for Reading.

So if you have some recommendations for me what I should read or comment on now or in the next days - feel free to let me know.

Today I had a litte time to read some Highlander Fanfics again, mainly I was focusing on stories of the lovely [personal profile] elistaire.

So if you are looking for great stories I would recommend them, if you don't know them already. Most of the stuff can be found at http://archiveofourown.org.

@Elistaire - I hope you don't mind my little promotion for you.

Hi all,

I have to say this concept here with Journals and Stuff like this will really get some time for me to get used to that. But I think I will hopefully manage in time. So be patient with me, because I am new to this. :-)


Anyway I will tell you briefly about my first impression here yesterday - so first thing I did - use the search function. :-) Well and that leaded me to the profile of one of you. First name I recognized form my online reading before was Melinas. So I took the chance to browse over Melinas beautiful Highlander Fanfic which I partly knew already. So my first experience here was quite nice.

Sign - so all this well know names for me from killabeez, elynross and so on. I will not know where to take the time to browse around here. :-)

But still in fact I am looking forward lurking around here in the future to brigthen my reading experience especially in all that wonderful Highlander Fanfic. Therefor if someone has recommendations to me, I am really open regarding this topic.

I wish you all the best
Faith
