Anou, I thought this was supposed to be a parody of Highlander. It was
brief and amusing. "There can only be one." Would you have liked it better
if it had a spamfic or parody tag?
As for me, I don't have as much time as I used to, so for new authors, I tend
to read shortfics, spamfics, or oneshots. This was an ideal way to get my
attention. I love humorous 'fics so I'll be looking forward to anything else this
author posts.

When the 'fic is this brief, I don't take it very seriously (unless it's one of those
character pieces or a vignette.
A little C&C to follow.

"resurrected"

I know they're trying to beat around the bush, but this slows down the 'fic.
Maybe Luna should come right out and say that they will have to do
something distasteful.

Monty Python reference?
