Hi, I'm

Why this must be read:

This story was written for the

hlh_shortcuts fiction exchange, and I'm taking full advantage of being the first to recommend it before anyone else can. I found it charming, creepy, funny, sad, odd, and kind of amazing, all at once. It broke my heart a little bit, but in a good way, and not for any reason one would think.

"Yes?"

"Are you awake?"

"Mmpgh."

"Okay. If you were stranded on a desert island, and you found a genie in a bottle, what would you wish for?"

"Mmm. A Philly cheese steak."

"I'm serious."

"Then you picked a bad time to have this conversation," Duncan mumbled into his pillow. Beside him, Methos sighed and yanked his covers up to his chin.

"Okay. All right. After the Philly cheese steak, what would you wish for?"

"A blow job."

"This is ridiculous."

Duncan raised his head. "This is me at my most frank." Methos blinked at him. "And don't call me Shirley." He laid his head back down and closed his eyes.
