Canons with female leads in high-stakes, secretive, potentially-world-saving occupations that never hit you with a "characters object to torture on moral grounds, but it's a legitimate source of good intel if you're ruthless enough to use it" scene?
I've recently been disappointed on that count by Scandal, Continuum, and Warehouse 13 (which has one character say it's not a reliable source of intel, it's just that nobody seems to believe him, and apparently he's getting fired for standing by it). Most of my favorite series are SF/F, but I'm also willing to give non-genre stuff a shot!
Does anyone have favorite Tessa Noel (Highlander: The Series) fanfiction to recommend? Duncan/Tessa romances would be wonderful, too; the recs don't have to be gen!
I suspect that one of the reasons that Tessa is so woefully neglected in HL fanfiction is that she's really very challenging to write. Her voice is unique and bounded in a cultural slice that's a bit distant from many fanwriters' comfort zones. It would be such a delight to discover a writer who really captured Tessa, and perhaps even did it story after story!

HL's Tessa Noel?
