HLH Shortcuts 2016
Not much of a difference from last year!
First of all, thanks for volunteering to write a story for me! Second, all I really need is something with Methos in it, or with Duncan and Methos (can be romance or friendship). That will make me very happy.
However, if you crave ideas or more info, here's more OPTIONAL details.
Okay, first of all, I'm a Methos girl. I love Methos in all his various shades and colors, dark and light, good and bad (and naughty, but that's a different item entirely...), present times or historical. As long as Methos isn't bursting into tears, or acting like a girl and writing "DM + M 4-ever" in his journals, I'm probably going to like anything you do with him. I'm a kinky little bugger, and there's not much that puts me off except: permanent death, rape, and extreme BDSM (edge-play, knife-play, water sports, that sort of thing). I personally think that Duncan is the love of his life, but I am firmly convinced that he's not the ONLY love of his life, just the most recent (and last, when I'm being a mushy romantic).
Duncan: I adore him, too - after all, he's what I first watched the show for (back in the Tessa days before I discovered slash). I love his hedonism, his hero-complex, his need to make a clan of his own. And of course his sheer beauty. I don't mind comments/flashbacks about his past sexual adventures, het or slash, although I prefer het references to be vague and not explicit. Not too much Brooding Scot, please - a little bit goes a long way for me. Otherwise - have at it!
Non-crossover scenarios - anything you can come up with. I'm open for first times, future-fic, past-fic-AUs (where Duncan & Methos meet in a different time period), pure porn, plot-driven, etc. Feel free to use Connor, Richie, Joe, and Amanda in support roles.
Crossover ideas:
With Sherlock Holmes: I love many flavors of Sherlock - the original canon, the Jeremy Brett version, and the current BBC Sherlock! wouldn't mind any mix of the characters from both series. Want a heist fic with Irene Adler, Methos and Amanda? I'm there! Want to go into the Victorian era with Methos at the center of a mystery that Holmes is solving? Bring it on! A snark contest between Sherlock and Methos while long-suffering John & Duncan look on? You've got my attention. Caper, romance, case-fic - it's all good.
Crossover with "From Eroica with Love":
I can really see some kind of caper story featuring the Eroica-gang & Amanda, with Duncan reluctantly pulled in. Or some kind of spy-thriller with Methos helping out the NATO group. Or something completely wacky or completely serious. You do it, I will love it.
Crossover with Torchwood/Doctor Who:
When you have timey-wimey-ness and you have Immortals, they are bound to cross paths. I would love to see any crossovers with any Doctor and any of the Highlander crew. Has Methos been an Companion? Or what would the Doctor think of them - would they have a sense of wrongness like Jack?
Crossover with Sleepy Hollow:
I am a slut for this historical stories, and I would love to see either Methos or Duncan in the past of Sleepy Hollow or in the present.
That's all I have to say, except that I hope you have fun writing this - that's what matters in the end.
