Square peg in a round hole

 This is one that Kerravonsen recommended to me.  A Stargate/Highlander crossover.  Gen.  It's a well-written tale with an excellent starting point.  O'Neill got cloned as a teenager in one episode and the clone survived and went back to high school.

There, Jake O'Neill meets a teacher who tells him that his general knowledge is wrong for his age and gives him some tips on how to blend in when you aren't the mental age to match the way your body looks.  

His advisor is an immortal - Methos.

The thing I really like about this story is that it takes both sides of Methos's character: the quiet bookish young man and the ruthless Horseman, and writes a tale that denies neither.  (I dislike stories that whitewash or wimp him)

The plot finds its feet after a few chapters and develops in a really good direction.

As you can probably tell, I'm making good progress on stories people pointed me at.
