I've gotten out of the habit of posting about the stories I've received here, so I guess there's no time like the new year to see if I can reclaim the habit.

Sooo....

Highlander Shortcuts

Of the two exchanges I joined this winter, this one opened first.

My gift is the fantastic:

Like New (LJ link) - Methos is definitely not a new Immortal, but Richie doesn't know that and Methos isn't about to tell him.

The author is currently anon, though I think I know who it is flukeoftheuniverse.

Comments: A super fun scenario that lets us revisit Richie when he was a brand new Immortal and "meet" Methos when he was still firmly Adam Pierson and invested in keeping it that way. One of the issues I had with the later seasons of HL is that Richie and Methos never got any real on-screen time together, and this story nicely shows how it could have happened. It is canon divergent (which is always fine by me), yet not so much so that it disrupts anything that happens on the show. I think my favorite part of the story is that Richie gets to step up and be the one in charge and, while it doesn't work out the way he thinks it should, he's not punished for that, either by the other characters or the narrative.

Yuletide

And we have a second winner with a Supergirl story:

You're My Freak (AO3 link) - Four times that Kara using her powers nearly gave Alex a heart attack and the one time Alex asked her to use them.

The author is currently anon, but I definitely know who it is. (Hi, Tig!) tptigger

Comments: Sister love! It's a story of pure sister love. The five scenarios in the story start shortly after Kara comes to Earth and take us through different situations where she's learning to use her powers, with mixed results. Each scenario is focused on Kara and Alex, though other Danvers and some OCs show up to move things along. There's really nothing about this story not to love. Each scenario is sweet and fun with great sister banter. My favorite scenario is the last one, but all are important to the arc of the story.

During the temporary lull in fests, it's time for a roundup. Over the past few months, I participated in three fests from which I received three stories and a bonus drabble, and for which I produced three stories.

April brought rarewomen. For this fest, brightknightie wrote me a delightful story based on Highlander: the Series and featuring a look at who Michelle, a one-off character, grew up to be in Yet There Are Many.

June saw the end to shipswap. From this fest, amathela gifted me with a cute Teen Wolf story featuring Scott/Danny and a little bit of drunken kissing in Positive Tension. Rumor has it that the author is considering writing a sequel, so if this pairing is up your alley, please go give her some encouragement.

Finally, July brought the reveals for fkficfest. For this fest, gnosticdivia wrote me a chilling story featuring Nick and Natalie on the case of a vampire child in Bless the Child.

I also got an amazing drabble from amilyn.

My contributions for these fests were:

Hardest Road to Travel for crazyfoolstiney, which is a Laura and Derek pre-canon story based on a request for a Laura Hale story and a roadtrip.

Muscle Memory for musikurt, which is a Danny/Isaac story. No prompt was given. Ironically, this is my first fest gift that won't stop. I've already added 4K since the story went live and I continue to toy with more.

Never Saw This World Before for pj1228, which is a Nick and LaCroix story based on a request for Nick/LaCroix being forced to live together.

That makes three fests, three fandoms received in, and two fandoms written for.
