We've seen Buffy die twice
We watched as sweet innocent Kendra was killed
What if the fall or stab wound killed Faith?
But what if they woke up again and into the (not so) new world of the Immortals?

This challenge might not be all that original, but i figured, what the heck...(I got this idea seeing the PS3 Highlander game)

Around the time of Halloween Xander is a huge fan of the Highlander movie(the 1st movie, not the suck-tackular sequels) and figures he'll go as an original character.

*** ***
This is the summary of the PS3 Highlander game:
You are Owen MacLeod...the Highlander. Born over 2000 years ago and still alive, you are Immortal. Moving through the centuries you have fought to survive against other Immortals in legendary battles where death comes only b...

In this challenge, there are just several things I think must be a requirement, some 'possibles' and some definite no-no's.

The basic jist of the story is that post Angel: The Series 'Not Fade Away' - somehow, however you want to arrange it, Spike comes face to face again with an imperiled Alexander 'Lavelle' Harris.

I'm not one to go the easy route so there's more to this challenge then on the surface:

MUST HAVES:

- Must be a Spike and Xander 'friendship' fic. This CAN be SLASH, though.

- Xander MUST become a Vampire and permanently stay so. ...

Buffy died her 'first death' when she was stabbed in the Hellmouth, So at the end why was she all healed and standing stiff as a board? (if you have ever had ANY stomach injury, you know she should have been atleast a little hunched over...lol)

Rules:

1. Im assuming this is her first real 'violent death' (drowning and suicide dont really count =p)

2. The gang goes to LA to recover, Angel lets them use the Hyperion since they just made their move.

3. Nobody knows right off that Buffy is immortal, she just assumes it was her slayer healing, so doesnt mention i...

One of the worlds oldest Prophecy's is about to be fulfilled. Will it save the world or will it doom it.

The Chaos child has been born,
Of old magic and of the Primal Spirit,
The child is the mate of Death,
The child will be throw through time,
And will meet Death, The child will follow,
Death across the land as his shadow,
On the night of the Red Moon they will become one,
And Chaos shall be sent back,
Chaos will find that it will bare twins,
One of Light and one of Dark,
If Death and Chaos do not meet before the twins are born,
Then War sh...

What if the message given to Buffy by the First Slayer in Season 5 had a double meaning?

Buffy/Methos pairing

The story's obviously set Post-Season 5 but can happen either right after Buffy's jump or Post-Chosen, it's up to you.

Requirements:
-Buffy being Immortal
-Set either post-Highlander series or during some time in Methos' past, possibly pre, during or post Horsemen. If sent back in time, Buffy's presence in the past causes either massive or some minor changes from Highlander canon.
-Buffy and Methos become romantically involved. If set in the past ...

While out hunting down newly activated slayers, Xander finds a pre-immortal infant foundling lying next to the body of a dead slayer and several dead demons. Xander mistakenly believes that the infant is the dead slayer’s child and takes him/her with him back to the Council.

- You chose who ends up raising the child. Could be Xander, could be Buffy and Dawn, could be Faith and Robin. Could even be some random immortal. Just no orphanage please.
- Buffy’s boyfriend “The Immortal” recognizes the child for what it really is. This boyfriend can be anyone from the Highlander sh...

Everyone knows that Immortals cannot have children, unfortunately no one told the Watcher's not to experiment. Years have passed and now Methos and Mac find that they both have a child.


Sixteen year old Xander Harris always knew that Tony Harris wasn't his father, he just didn't know that both his Mother and Tony were Watchers sent to the hellmouth to hide Xander's existence.


Seventeen year old Faith LaHane ran away from her abusive mother and the death of her first watcher. In Sunnydale she has made a family and friends with Cordy, Xander, and Kendra. They hav...

So I was thinking about what character to go as for Halloween and I came across the thought of going as Duncan Macleod.

Then it hit me today when I was thinking about how awesome it would be if we 'pulled a Buffy' and had our costumes possess us, and this idea came out. Unfortunately I know I don't have the skills to do it justice, but I know the spattering of Highlander fans on this site may appreciate it.

The challenge is this:
Xander went to the Costume Shoppe (Ethan's costume shop) and for some reason instead gets a plastic sword and raids his father's closet for ...

"Lets put it this way... I'm fluent in Sumerian, and Mesopotamia was long after my time."

Buffy/Highlander Challenge

Standard Buffy's been around forever... blah blah blah,

Requirements:
-Work something interesting as to how she gets her current looks, maybe she's reborn every time the essence of the Slayer is recycled?Something original would be preferable.
-Have Buffy meet up with/already be familiar with various Highlander Characters, preferably NOT Methos... that's just cliché
-Scoobies find out about Buffy's immortality, but NOT after she dies in ...

I've read several fics that go into the after-effects of Methos and Duncans shared Quickening. And i've oftened wondered if that was the solution to putting an end to the Gathering.

bunny

Methos/Xander preferred but can be Xander/anyone.

A prophecy is found that hints that the only way to end the Gathering was to unite the Immortals quickenings. The key to this prophecy is Methos and a new immortal Xander (how Xander becomes immortal can be the result of one of Buffy's airheaded screw-ups or what ever the author comes up with.) While trying to join the quickenings an...

To start, a few questions to get the writing juices flowing:

What would happen if some Power went back to the beginning and changed things?
What if Xander was a pre-immortal?
What if Buffy didn't show up at the Bronze in "Welcome to the Hellmouth"?
What if Xander was taken instead of Jesse?
What if the Master took a liking to him/knew what he was?

So here is the actual challenge:

With Xander as a pre-immortal, somehow he ends up being taken by Darla as a snack for the Master. What happens next?

Requirements:
Must be Xander-centric in the ...

I have yet to read a story, see a television show, or even a movie (with one exception) that puts Orthodox Judaism in a positive light. Maybe that's because no authors know anything about it, but I would like to see a story in which Willow embraced her Jewish heritage instead of becoming Wiccan.

To make things interesting, the author can alter the Highlander time-line (or erase a certain death) to bring Rebecca (Amanda's teacher, and possibly a Jewish character) to Sunnydale to guide Willow on the path of an Orthodox Jew who fights preternatural enemies.

The first difference...

One of the female cast members of Buffy/Angel becomes a Highlander-style Immortal. Sometime after this, something mystical happens and all female Immortals (at least, those who are apparently of child-bearing years) become pregnant.

If you want to have more than one cast member become an Immortal, have it be because of a spell or something similar with a definite starting point, because more than one pre-immortal naturally occurring in a group this small is somewhat unlikely, right?

In an alternate universe, Jesse rises not as a vampire but as an Immortal.

Bonus points for exploring the new BtVS dynamics thoroughly and incorporating a discussion of vampires v. Highlander-style Immortality.
