First Sunrise

Notes & Disclaimers:

Finally, a story set at the beginnings of the Imladris colony. Believe it or not, this was inspired by Valentine’s Day. Something of an anti-Valentine story to go with my usual feelings about that particular holiday [ahem]. But fear not, it still manages to be romantic (I think), albeit in a quirky Methos sort of way.

If you want to know where it falls in the series, it’s about a century after All Work & No Play. The year is 2163. (As a point of reference, the Federation was established in 2161)

The poem Methos recites is called ‘Time of Roses’ by Thomas Hood. It seemed to fit the story.

Thanks to Tammy and April for beta duty!

All Highlander & Forever Knight characters belong to their respective PTBs. All original characters belong to their creators, myself amongst them.

And last, but most certainly not least: thanks for reading! And if you liked this story, let me know if you would. It's always nice to know if anyone out there is reading. Thanks!

They had landed on Imladris late the afternoon before, the first ship with the initial colony compliment of five hundred. More ships would follow in the weeks and months ahead as they settled in on their new home. With the busy day ahead, their first on this new world, she had no intention of waking up any earlier than she had to; no matter what the irritating voice said.
