The Black Coral Caves by brmqtr
Fandoms: Highlander: The Series, One Piece (Anime & Manga)

Summary
An adventure of memory, hunger, and the art of staying.
When a rumor reaches the Polar Tang of glowing coral beneath an uncharted island, Law expects a simple expedition — another mystery of the sea, another excuse for his crew to test their luck. But when the coral begins to move, to breathe, to sing, he realizes something far older is listening.
The “black coral” is no treasure but a remnant of an ancient weapon — one Methos remembers all too well. Once designed to defend an empire, it learned to feed on emotion and memory, devouring everything it touched. Now it has awakened again, drawn to the healer’s power in Law’s blood and the immortality that lingers in Methos’s own.
As the crew fights to survive the living labyrinth, Methos and Law must confront the ghosts of creation itself — his forgotten sins, Law’s relentless curiosity, and the dangerous tenderness that binds them both.
But survival, as Methos knows, is never just about endurance. Sometimes it’s about staying — and learning when not to run from what wants to love you.

Summary
A world where power defines worth.
A boy without a quirk.
A man who has lived longer than memory itself.
When an immortal survivor finds a brilliant, stubborn child overlooked by society, he makes a quiet decision: to train him—not for glory, but for survival.
Heroes aren't born. They're made.
And sometimes, it takes someone who has seen the rise and fall of empires to teach the right lessons.Series

Summary
In the shadows of Metropolis, a secret antiquities auction brings two predators together: Lex Luthor, the young billionaire with ambition sharp enough to cut steel, and Methos, a so-called academic hiding five thousand years of survival behind a glass of whiskey and a crooked smile.
When mercenaries turn the auction into a battleground, they are forced into an uneasy alliance—Lex with his wealth and restless hunger for danger, Methos with his cunning and endless cynicism. Between break-ins, betrayals, and too many nights in dingy motels, they clash in words as sharp as blades, each exposing the cracks in the other’s armor.
Lex calls Methos a coward hiding behind centuries; Methos calls Lex a child destroying everything he touches out of fear of being powerless. But in their anger they discover recognition—and attraction. What begins as survival turns into something far more dangerous: choice.
Because even a wolf and a serpent, circling warily in the dark, may find themselves entwined.

Summary
When Constable Benton Fraser, ever-polite Mountie, stumbles onto a smuggling ring in Chicago, he doesn’t expect to meet a reluctant “translator” with far too much knowledge of antique swords. Methos, the world’s oldest Immortal, just wants to survive another century without complications—but Fraser’s relentless courtesy won’t let him slip away.
What begins as an uneasy partnership quickly spirals into duels, stakeouts, and philosophical debates on duty versus survival. Fraser responds to Methos’s miraculous healing with calm Canadian curiosity (“That must present unique logistical challenges”), while Methos wonders if this Mountie is the most frustrating—or the most honest—man he’s met in five thousand years.
Between immortal duels in the snow, wolfly judgment from Diefenbaker, and Fraser’s insistence on filing incident reports for beheadings, an unexpected bond takes root. Careful sincerity collides with centuries of loneliness, until one heated argument tips into something neither of them can ignore.
Because even for an immortal, some challenges aren’t about logistics at all—they’re about letting someone in.

Summary
After storms, battles, and impossible survival, life aboard the Polar Tang finally slows. Methos, the immortal drifter, has become part of the crew—his sarcasm as familiar as Shachi and Penguin’s bickering, his endless stories woven into the rhythm of the mess hall. Law watches it all in silence, his surgeon’s mind reluctant to admit how easily Methos has settled into place.
There are no Marines to fight, no desperate chases—only small disasters in the kitchen, chess games overturned, ghost stories told too well, and the rare comfort of ordinary days. In the stillness between waves, Methos finds something he never expected: the treasure of belonging.
On the sunlit deck, where laughter drifts like salt air, boredom becomes a gift, silence becomes companionship, and immortality—for once—feels almost human.

Among Stars and Strays by brmqtr
Fandoms: Tuf Voyaging - George R. R. Martin, Highlander: The Series
04 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Methos has spent five thousand years surviving—outliving empires, wars, and lovers, always running before anyone could matter too much. Sneaking aboard a starship should have been just another escape. Instead, he finds himself on the Ark: a vessel of cats, order, and the impossibly formal Captain Haviland Tuf.
Tuf speaks in careful precision, Methos in irreverent sarcasm. One clings to order, the other thrives in chaos. Yet as they voyage from one crisis to the next, something shifts—companionship sparks where neither expected it, and survival begins to mean more than just outlasting.
Among Stars and Strays is a tale of banter, cats, and improbable harmony, where an immortal trickster and an ecological engineer learn that even eternity can feel less lonely when shared.

Summary
When Methos—an immortal who has outlived gods, empires, and a thousand names—wakes to the sound of waves instead of engines, he realizes he’s far from any world he’s known. The sea is lawless, the sky is stranger, and the first man to greet him is sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued… and wearing a fuzzy hat.
Trafalgar Law is no stranger to the unusual. As the captain of the Heart Pirates and wielder of a Devil Fruit power that defies biology, he’s dissected mysteries stranger than myth. But nothing prepares him for Methos: sarcastic, secretive, oddly well-read, and apparently impossible to kill.
Thrown together by chance—or fate—they navigate a world of pirates, Marines, and haunted histories, each carrying wounds that never healed and questions they’ve never dared ask.
What begins as reluctant cooperation becomes uneasy trust. And when trust deepens into intimacy, neither man is ready for what follows.
One cuts to understand.
The other hides to survive.
But love, perhaps, is what neither of them expected to grow.Series
