HL Fanfic: "When Everything was New"
Tuesday, August 16th, 2011 09:24 pmI wrote "When Everything was New" for hl_flashfic's "Second Banana" event, to the prompt: "Alexa meets Tessa at an art show." I'd written HL in multi-fandom games before, and just because,
but this was my first attempt in an HL-specific venue.
Thanks to sholio and

Summary: | Tessa exhibits in the juried division of the 1986 Seacouver Art & Wine festival. |
Quotation: | "Tessa hesitated. Pressing for public reaction was rarely wise; and, usually, she was content with her own assessment and Duncan’s, other critics be hanged. But she remained unsure where her efforts fit at this festival, if they fit at all." |
