Review:
After the Horsemen debacle, Methos drinks himself to death (literally) and then has a slight mental break. As in, he forgets he's Methos. Or a Watcher. Or, you know, immortal. All he is now is mild mannered Adam Pierson, a 35-year-old grad student who is prone to odd, buzzing headaches and who is occasionally approached by strange men with tattoes on their left wrist. Joe, of course, takes this information to Mac, who isn't impressed. At least not until he actually meets Adam Pierson and suddenly finds himself explaining immortality to the oldest immortal of all. Which, it must be said, is pretty damn awesome.

Surprisingly enough, the absolute best part of this all-around great story is the spot-on characterization of Adam Pierson. Valentin's managed to excise the conniving warrior Methos from the brilliant academic Adam without changing the core of the character, and the end result just perfect. Neither an original character nor a canon one, Adam can only be described as one of the best characters I've seen in fanfic, ever, and he is even more delightful when playing off of Duncan. Part fluff, part angst, part humor, and every part wonderful, this is a fic that can satisfy any taste.
