Title: What was, is gone
Fandom: Avengers/Highlander
Disclaimer: not my characters; title from Anne Sexton
Warnings: everything in the Winter Soldier's backstory; the fact that while Methos is an amazing character, he's not the nicest guy (i.e., dub-con); and how frickin' codependent Steve&Bucky were/are
Pairings: Methos/ex-Winter, ex-Winter Soldier/Steve, Methos/Steve, Methos/ex-Winter Soldier/Steve, past-Steve/Bucky
Rating: PG13
Wordcount: 2450
Point of view: third
Prompt: Any, any/any/any, they all have dæmons

Note: I've reused the same daemons from my previous daemon AUs.


There is a not-quite-mortal rummaging through Methos’ cabinets. His daemon – she’s on the floor, skeletal and scarred and so broken she barely glances at Mel as Mel carefully moves toward her. Her eyes go to Methos and the knife he holds, and she mutters, “Incoming.”

The man turns, throwing a knife of his own and Methos catches it easily. The man looks as bad as the daemon.
