Highlander After the Dream
Epilogue:
Joe went back over the report on the latest incidents and Macleod's reentry into the game. He hadn't counted on how hard this entire situation was going to be. It just felt wrong that Connor had solved the problem and Duncan had accepted it so meekly. He hadn't even objected to Connor interfering in his fight.
He had to admit part of him expected things to have turned out like they usually did with Mac saving the day at the last minute after pulling himself together. It was probably for the best that he was leaving to head to a monastery in Tibet to work through his issues. He could tell Amanda was worried that Macleod would never recover.
He had no doubt that Duncan Macleod would recover in time. He just hoped it was within his life time. He found himself wondering who would take over Macleod's chronicle once he was gone. He knew whoever it was would have to deal with the fact that Macleod knew about the watchers now.
He pushed those thoughts out of his head he still had a few good years left before he had to think about retiring. He glanced back at the report and made up his mind. Once he was done with this he needed to call Ritchie and work on repairing their friendship. He didn't want the younger immortal to think everyone was going to avoid him because Macleod told him to leave.
The End...
After the Dream is now over. This isn't quiet the ending I originally planned but do to a lot of things this is the ending that got written. Since I started working in this fic my time to write took a major hit, real life issues interupted and other things.
I'm happy enough with this ending even if it's not the ending I ordinally envisioned.
If you are curious the original ending was going to be much different and set up for a massive sequel.
I don't plan to write any more Highlander fics in the near future. Someday I might come back and do a sequal or prequal to this fic but for now this is the last time I will work on a highlander fanfic.
