Give Me Your Brains

Since this current Iron Man/Highlander crazy fic is spiraling ever more out of control, I realize I need to decide eventually whether I want to make it in the same 'universe' as the Methos meets Tony story I wrote first. I'm not sure I'm up to having two seperate Methoses and two separate Tonys in two different storylines. It would certainly change the dynamic of it all. When Charlotte finally tells Methos about Tony, if it turns out he already knows him, and then of course, that Tony knows about Immortals. Well you get the idea :)

Thoughts? Opinions? Requests? Drinks?

I used to play with universes--I'd have Timeline A where certain things happened to the characters and Timeline B--and of course there was always Timeline D, which stood for Disaster.

I think it works if you center on one thing that's different about Universe A from Universe B--in Universe A, there is a Charlotte. In B, if Charlotte exists, neither one of them have met her.

I think it might be interesting to have Tony figuring out that there was something about this boyfriend of Charlotte that was--very different, and show his reaction without the proof of a Quickening--or it could be you'd rather have Tony and Methos pretending not to know each other and Charlotte figuring out their relationship.

Just a thought.

That makes sense :)

I kind of like that approach. Everyone is keeping a secret and in on certain of the others, but not all. Charlotte, does not know Tony & Matthew know each other, Tony doesn't know Charlotte is immortal or exactly what Matthew is or how old, and Methos is not sure what the "relationship" is between Charlotte and Tony.

Cold be quite a comedy of errors.
