[community profile] hlh_shortcuts stories have been revealed! Every year we get an excellent crop of stories and this year is no exception. Please head on over and check out all the wonderful stories -- there's something for everyone.

This year I wrote another gen story focusing on the season 1 character Randi McFarland - the journalist who begins nosing around Duncan and Tessa's life, always asking probing questions and getting herself accidentally kidnapped by creepy doctors in basements haha.

Anyway, I would not have guessed writing this story would have been so fulfilling and enjoyable, but it is honestly one of my favorite stories I've ever written in this fandom. Not because it's super complicated or plotty or even particularly well written but it was so great to give a minor character a bigger sandbox to play in the show, to weave her into Duncan's life beyond what we see in the handful of eps she's in, AND perhaps most especially, to view the world of Immortals and Duncan in particular through someone who is a) not another immortal, b) not a main character, and c) not a watcher. She's just a person, who trips into that world, and stays.

Also, it was a true delight to write for my recipient, [personal profile] brightknightie.

I know Randi's not a particularly popular character, but I'm going to be rude and recommend you read my story anyway. :D

Big big thank you to my beta reader, [personal profile] raine. <3
