HLH_Shortcuts '21 has begun releasing
Happy Duncan's Birthday! (Happy Solstice!) The annual Highlander fanfic exchange, ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
hlh_shortcuts, has begun releasing. Five new stories are now available to read. Visit the AO3 collection.
Stories stay anonymous until all release and a guess-the-author game runs. I imagine that guessing may be hard this year; we have several folks new to the exchange.
Coincidentally, the story written for my sign-up was one of the first released:
"Reflections on the Future"
Gen, G, 721 words
It's a tag to "The Gathering" from Duncan's perspective. Introspection while struggling to fall asleep. It teeters in the transition moment between the pilot and the series, before coming down on the side of time moving forward into the stories we know. I think that it's clever of the writer to recognize that right after Duncan is pulled back into the Game, he immediately steps away from it, to the island, where the Game cannot come... but Tessa can.
(I haven't yet read any of the other stories.)
