#Richie Ryan

[beanarie]

fans of highlander the series?

this is a long shot, but since the vast majority of seventh dimension archive did not make it to the wayback machine, idk what else to try. decades ago i saved a ton of fic to my hard drive and i can't be the only one. i'm looking for any backups of seventh dimension, but specifically fics by kat parsons and dina heredia. and the hl fanfic season, which wasn't on seventh dimension but yeah

thank you in advance! i will absolutely share what i have in return

It kills me that the actual camera cut off the top of Duncan's head, but his smile was too much to resist. He doesn't smile that widely often enough.

This is the beginning of the Christmas special for Earth N! The Defenders convince the Bat Family to invite MacLeod, Tori, Richie and Jenny over for Christmas.

Engel

"I'm renaming her," Tori announced.

Richie pulled his lips away from her neck, still holding her as they sat on the bed. He wasn't quite clear on what she'd declared. "You're going to do what?"

"Engel," she uttered. "I'm changing her name." She touched his hand. "I think that we should."

@amanda-multifandom mentioned a character she might create -- a girl taken in by Richie and Tori. I don't know how the kid ended up with them, but, apparently, Tori decides to exercise her right to rename the child. From my understanding, she mentions some possibilities, and Richie makes a few suggestions too, while thinking of people from his past. At present, the names Engel and Jenny have been used in fiction. It's unclear if these would be official.

Chapter Three sneak preview, "The Magic Within"

Tori was keeping her mind preoccupied by beating on a punching bag to give in to sleep, contrary to what Richie was doing. She had a hard time sleeping because she had been thinking about Duncan and the time he was under the influence of the Dark Quickening.

Richie wasn't faring any better. As a matter of fact, he was the one who was nearly beheaded by his own teacher. He felt betrayed and realized this was a part of the game. Tori managed to keep him together to some extent. He had taken heads of some immortals, but she had managed to cool him off when he was at his worst. There was no telling what could have happened if Tori was not there with him, trying her best to keep him at bay before he could do something he would truly regret.

One final swift kick knocked the bag off the chain, causing it to land on the floor. Tori panted as she looked down at it.

Suddenly, it turned into Ming. She screamed, throwing herself onto him and beating it roughly.

“Go ahead and kill me, but what good will it do for you?”

Tori paused and stepped back. Felicia uttered those words to her before she took her head, leading to her first Quickening.

She had Duncan and the whole situation on her mind, and remembered the conversation she and Richie had with Joe before they left Seacouver.

A Year Ago

“He was going to do it,” Richie told Joe, “he was going to take my head.”

“He probably would have done so had it not been for you,” Tori added, “and Mac probably would have taken my head too after that. He was ruthless.”

“You knew he couldn't help it,” Joe tried assuring them.

Tori took a deep breath, trying to believe it. If this was a Dark Quickening as the myth had it, chances were Duncan was corrupted.

On the other hand, Richie shook his head, “If you weren't there, I'd be dead.”

“But that wasn't Duncan MacLeod,” Joe insisted.

“You knew the hell it was it,” Richie interjected, “where is he now?”

“Yeah Joe,” Tori added, “where is MacLeod?”

“He's halfway to Europe,” Joe answered. She couldn't make out what he said to them before that, but that was all they needed, especially Richie.

“Look, Richie, Tori,” Joe glanced at his two immortal friends, “you guys might want to spend some time on holy ground. Sort all this out.”

“Seriously?” Tori slightly scoffed.

“Sort this out,” Richie rolled his eyes, “oh man, the guy I trusted.....”

“We trusted,” Tori added in.

“He tried to kill us,” Richie continued.

“Richie,” Joe began.

“No,” Richie interrupted, “the reason doesn't matter. It was him. It was Duncan MacLeod. You know what's funny? All this time, I've been thinking all this whole 'There can be only one' thing, I'm thinking that's just talk. I'm thinking there's no way MacLeod would ever come for me, or Tori. I didn't believe it. I couldn't believe it.”

“A part of me felt the same way,” Tori nodded in agreement.

“Now,” Richie looked right at Joe, “now we do.”

He left the bar moments later. Tori had a plan in mind. She wasn't going to let Richie know just yet, or Joe for that matter.

She handed him a piece of paper.

“What's this?” Joe asked.

“My email,” Tori answered, “if Duncan MacLeod does happen to come around, let me know. Maybe then, hopefully, I can bring Richie around.”

“If there's anyone that can bring him around,” Joe smiled as he accepted the paper, “I'm pretty certain that would be you.”

Highlander - Studies in Light (S02E02).

Currently enjoying rewatching all Highlander episodes.

Highlander: The Series, season 1 episode 2.

Richie is wearing an Einstürzende Neubauten T-shirt.

Gotta say, I would not have pegged Richie for a fan of avant-garde industrial music, but maybe Tessa lent him the shirt?

I'm watching The Highlander TV show and Richie Ryan gives me such strong Jason Todd vibes.

Like, the look, the attitude, the wittiness, the backstory, it's all so perfect. It's kind of like having Jason on the screen.

I mean, look at him.

Look at him, he's perfect!

(Someone please agree with me I'm dying.)

On the next Defenders Chronicles Highlander side stories

I will be covering the episode "See No Evil" and the reporter Randi McFarland will make her first appearance in DoE Earth N. Also, the IUA will help MacLeod take down the Scalper in this episode/chapter, and there might be implications for Tori and Richie having feelings for one another.

Following up on the previous post. I think that these are fitting.
