Xover (Highlander/X-Men): Unbound by Te
Unbound (Methos-Yuriko | R | 1,766 words) mixes Highlander and X-Men 2 in a way that works surprisingly well. It's a fix-it story in some ways, and it ends at just the right place to tickle my imagination about what Methos and Yuriko do afterwards. Plus there are some good insights, which I'm a sucker for.
Excerpt:

She narrows her eyes and looks down at herself. There's a rip in her uniform just to the left of her navel, and her claws scratch and scream together against the sound of the wind. When she looks up again, her eyes are blank. "An accident. Perhaps... perhaps a necessary accident, but not one I'm likely to forgive, just the same." She cocks her head. "And you? What sort of mutant are you?"
