The Mahleah Brennan MacLeod Chronicles

 

The Beginning

 

 

Recovery

This is the story that started the series. Set in a world that is a crossover between the Highlander and Buffy the Vampire Slayer universes it begins in the year 1998 between the BTVS episodes "Dead Man's Party" and "Faith, Hope and Trick."

 

 

An Excursion Into the Past

 

Brilliant Disguise

A murder mystery Highlander style with an X-Files twist! There are no Buffy characters here, instead Fox Mulder and Dana Scully visit Seacouver investigating a mysterious rash of beheadings. Is the city playing host to the most recent round of The Game or is there a mortal explanation?

 

Repercussions

 

A Stolen Season (WIP)

The ending of Recovery left many loose ends for the characters; not least of which was how would the actions of Mahleah MacLeod impact her younger self. Set primarily near the end of BTVS's fourth season and Angel: The Series' first, this is a darker tale about a young woman's search for identity, self-control, and inner-peace.
