Highlander: Penance is a fanfiction set in the Highlander universe.Taking place a few years before the events of the original Highlander film, the story follows Penance Cameron, a centuries-old immortal who was only 12-years-old when he suffered his 'first-death'. At the start of the story he is unwillingly forced from his current life in Baltimore. Fleeing to Philadelphia, the boy runs into and ultimately befriends a thieving young girl named 'Whip'. Together they have a run-in with another immortal dedicated to taking whatever heads he can. All the while they're followed by a mysterious nemesis from Penance's past, who leads the boy into the arms of an even greater threat than Penance can ever imagine. | |

Afraid of Their Own Strength: Penance refuses to tackle other boys his age when playing a pick-up football game. One of the boys assumes Penance is afraid of getting hurt, and Penance doesn't correct him. | |

Religion of Evil | |
Highlander Penance (Fanfic) / int_187bddc1 | comment |
Religion of Evil: Nicnevin has a loyal cult of followers who basically worship her and see to her every needs in 1650s Scotland, primarily by tracking down immortal child sacrifices for her. It survives into the 1980s, when she relocates to America and funds it with her real estate empire. | |

Highlander Penance (Fanfic) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: When Medici shows surprise that Penance has never heard of Carlin Gay he appears as if he's about to mention her other alias, Nicnevin, a name Penance knows very well, but Penance cuts him off in irritation. Furthermore, when Whip claims someone called the 'Banshee' is after the boy Penance similarly shows no recognition. Turns out she misheard the word 'Banrigh', which means queen. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Penance picks up a heavy-duty spiked collar (meant for working dogs protecting sheep from wolves) and a gold-plated cigarette lighter at Ikey Boggs' store. the former he uses to kill Nicnevin, and the latter he uses to blow a gas line in the Aurelia Arms and allow him to take out the bulk of Nicnevin's cultists. | |

Highlander Penance (Fanfic) / int_2317bc85 | comment |
Tampering with Food and Drink: Uallas does this to Penance's tea when he betrays the boy to Nicnevin. It doesn't fully work, as the poison berries he used were the same ones Penance had found tasty and been using to make his own recreational beverages, allowing the boy to metabolize the poison faster than intended and recover earlier than expected from his 'death'. | |

Adaptation Deviation | |
Highlander Penance (Fanfic) / int_23a1e2a9 | comment |
Adaptation Deviation: Immortals in this continuity have boosted strength proportional to their size, and adult immortals cannot sense the presence of prepubescent immortals through the ‘buzz’. Child immortals can sense adults, but only through deliberate meditation, during which they can see through said immortal’s eyes. | |

Mayfly–December Friendship: Though he's presumably had many, Penance's friendship with Gilbarta of Clan Cameron was notable given that he stayed with her for decades, up until her death, all the while posing as her surrogate son. | |

Highlander Penance (Fanfic) / int_278a8f2b | comment |
Child Soldier: Technically, in Penance’s case. He is seen in supporting roles in both 17th century Scotland (working in the soldiers’ camp) and the 1800s United States (serving as a powder monkey) on a US ship. Penance doesn’t see anything wrong with this, but when asked how he’d like to see a modern-aged boy he’d befriended undergo the same experience he’s notably disturbed. | |

Highlander Penance (Fanfic) / int_29292e6d | comment |
Walking the Earth: Penance spends most of his time doing this. As a child immortal he can't have the usual decades-long 'lifespan' an adult immortal might be able to pull off; he can go, at best, three to four years on average before having to move on. | |

Highlander Penance (Fanfic) / int_34e2157 | comment |
Deliberate Injury Gambit: Immortals being immortals, of the TV series variety, this is obviously a standard tactic in their combat. Penance attempts this during the fight that led to his first kill and Nicnevin successfully used it in her first fight with Penance, shielding her throat by using her forearm to absorb the blow of Penance’s knife. | |

Alarm SOS: Whip trips the fire alarm at the main control station in the basement of the Aurelia Arms during her play to save Penance from being sacrificed. The cultists can't convince authorities that it's a false alarm (à la Die Hard) since they've been stalling on finishing the building for so long that the city of Trenton is solidly fed-up with them. | |

Highlander Penance (Fanfic) / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: Against his fellow immortals Penance holds nothing back and is completely vicious in a fight, earning the nickname 'The Rabid Fox' from those who've heard of him. Against mortal opponents who aren't trying to sexually assault him, at least he's usually far more gentle. Black Hat's mentor Medici also goes this route when subduing Penance: he just comes up behind the boy and jams an ice pick through the base of his skull. | |

Highlander Penance (Fanfic) / int_519f108a | comment |
Throwing Your Sword Always Works: One of Penance’s preferred combat moves is to throw his knife at his attackers. Justified in that he’s had centuries to practice, and all with the same knife. By present day he’s gotten very good at it. His mentor, who forged said knife for him, greatly disapproved of the practice, however, and it bites him in the ass during his first fight with Nicnevin. | |

Highlander Penance (Fanfic) / int_525478f9 | comment |
Consulting Mister Puppet: Penance often turns to his stuffed fox head Galabeg for advice, and she generally provides him with cold, callous and self-serving suggestions for his current course of actions. Galabeg speaks, after all, for Penance’s survival instincts, and for his part Penance is well aware of this. Helps to explain why he’s not exactly on friendly terms with her, but would do anything to protect her and keep her from harm. | |

Affably Evil: Nicnevin is at almost all times genuinely polite, treats her underlings well and goes to lengths to avoid undue suffering in her victims. She is notably repulsed by Black Hat's obsession with Penance and decides to spare Whip's life and release her from captivity after Penance's death. This last decision helps get her killed. | |

Pint-Sized Powerhouse: In the fanfic's continuity all immortals have a proportional boost to their strength. Penance describes his own abilities as akin to an adult bodybuilder, but the adult immortals are stronger, still, and while Penance can handle almost any regular human in a one-on-one fight adult immortals can toss him around as easily as one can toss around any scrawny-looking 12-year-old. | |

Seeking Sanctuary: Penance spends a significant amount of time sleeping in cemeteries, and he doubles-down on making an abandoned library his temporary base of operations after learning that a local priest had blessed the place. However the priest in question lied, and he points out that even if he hadn't lied his blessing wouldn't have been enough to satisfy the rules of the Game. | |

And Nicnevin gets her name from a legendary witch from Scottish lore that was said to feast on Christian flesh, take ungrateful children from their parents... and steal unfinished knitting at the eve of the new year. | |

Spirit Advisor: Around the second half of the story Penance starts being visited by other immortals that he's previously killed, all of whom generally provide helpful advice. Nicnevin appears to also have the same experiences, but her visitors only silently stare at her, and she's distressed by their appearance. | |

Meaningful Name | |
Highlander Penance (Fanfic) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Penance names his stuffed fox head Galabeg, a shortening of the Gaelic galla beag, meaning 'little bitch'. Nicnevin's modern-day alias is Carlin Gay, and one of the aliases of the mythical witch Nicnevin is 'Gay-Carlin'. Upon saving the life of Cadha and helping birth her daughter (who promptly popped out into a nearby stream and had to be retrieved from it) Uallas was given the honor of naming the girl. He chose 'Struana', meaning 'from the stream' in Gaelic. Father 'Daniel Kenaz' roughly translates to 'the hunter whose only judge is God'. This bit of information puts Black Hat squarely on Penance's scent, as it confirms the identity of the immortal Penance killed. | |

Good Feels Good: Black Hat claims to both Whip and Medici that he feels this way about his work with the FBI and other seemingly positive things he's done over the course of his life. Medici calls Black Hat out on the real reason he found those experiences enjoyable: he likes to be in control of other people, even if that control has positive results for the person, and ultimately the only thing Black Hat cares about is his power over other people. | |

Really 700 Years Old: Naturally. Penance is 385 years old in the present day of the story. His mentor, Uallas, is closer to the letter of the trope, at 636 before his death. Meanwhile, Black Hat is likely not much older than 340, or so and easily the youngest of the main cast of immortals in the story. Taking the cake, however, would be Nicnevin, who is likely between 2000 and 5000 years old. | |

Alas, Poor Villain: Grievously wounded, Nicnevin's final moments are spent ignoring Penance and pathetically crawling to Uallas' greasy old mirror to look at her distorted reflection- a symbol of her youth that she wants to have back. When she manages to touch the mirror she streaks the grease off it and sees herself as she is, letting out a tortured wail and, finally, her damaged neck gives out and she dies. | |

Devious Daggers | |
Highlander Penance (Fanfic) / int_b15f8d35 | comment |
Devious Daggers: Penance's weapon of choice is a custom-forged sgian dubh, a traditional small Scottish knife, and Penance is shown to be a brutal and vicious Combat Pragmatist. His use of a small knife, however, is more a pragmatic choice than it is a reflection of his character, as a small boy really doesn't have much of a chance of hiding a broadsword on his person in day-to-day life. | |

Last Unsmoked Cigarette | |
Highlander Penance (Fanfic) / int_b603b549 | comment |
Last Unsmoked Cigarette: Penance gets a handful of cigarettes from Whip at one point, and he debates smoking the last one at a certain point but decides to hold on to it. He finally brings it out in the Aurelia Arms and lights it while standing over a broken gas line, where the resulting explosion gives him the upper hand on Nicnevin's cultists. Later he admits that while his maneuver was very cool, he'd rather have kept the cigarette to smoke in hindsight. | |

I Cannot Self-Terminate: Penance admits to Whip that he's wanted to die at times, but his Catholic faith prevents that from becoming a viable option. This is notable in that, while Penance still considers himself bound by the tenets of his faith, he's openly hostile to God Himself and refuses to pray to him. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: When Penance confronts Black Hat at a cemetery and tries goading him into attacking on holy ground (against one of the cardinal rules of immortals) a lightning bolt strikes nearby, and then one strikes again when Penance himself considers attacking Black Hat. The storm, however, had been forming before this, and Black Hat notes that bad weather was previously forecast. | |

The Magic Goes Away: Being set a short time before the Gathering it is noted that there are far fewer immortals alive at the moment, and all of them slowly converging on New York City. Nicnevin’s detailed intelligence from global surveillance seems to prove that new immortals are not being born, leaving the few still living to be all that’s left. | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade: Penance’s knife was custom-forged by his mentor, skilled in the art of making ‘liquid steel’ blades. By description, as well as his mentioning that he learned to forge them in India, they appear to be Damascus steel although they throw off a green blast when they strike each other and it appears that one of the only things that can destroy such a blade is another one. | |

Evil Is Petty: Black Hat terrorizes Penance for centuries, killing his loved ones and tormenting the boy, simply because Penance was responsible for giving Black Hat his immortality when Black Hat tried to rape Penance. He despises the fact that he has one of his assault victims to 'thank' for getting his immortality in his physical prime, and he focuses all his sadism on the boy as a result. | |
