"This is going to end badly," Chuck whimpered. He shut his eyes tightly against the questing, probing implement.

( 'Where's your spirit of adventure?' Becky stamped her foot and Chuck winced again.  )

Author's Notes: Written for 5 Acts, January 2011. Beta'd by maskedfangirl.

"You can go in now," the woman in the Snoopy scrubs said. "One at a time." She had the tone in her voice that indicated that anyone who tried to thwart her command would used as bait for her next deep sea fishing expedition.

( There was a tense moment where everyone tried to look at each other without looking at each other. )

Title: Five Times Sophie and Eliot Didn't Really Kiss
Fandom: Leverage
Pairing: Eliot/Sophie
Rating: all
Word Count: ~1700
Summary: Five times Sophie and Eliot didn't kiss, not really.

Alternately, read on AO3.

( Patricia, please don't leave me. I'm sorry... so sorry, for everything. I promise I won't hurt you... again. )

Title: A Few Close Calls and One That Wasn't Close Enough
Fandom: Leverage
Pairing: Hardison/Eliot
Rating: 13+
Word Count: 2680
Summary: With the impressive number of enemies Eliot has made in his lifetime, it wouldn't shock him if some (or most) of them wanted him dead. But even by evil Bond villain standards, this seemed like a long way to go to get a guy killed.
Author's Notes: For maskedfangirl. Happy Christmas, my wonderful girl. Many thanks to cherie_morte for the awesome beta. Any resemblance to any awesome 1993 Hollywood blockbuster movie is completely coincidental and is obviously not something I noticed halfway through but opted not to change. You know, for the record.


( What we're about to tell you is so secret, so vitally confidential, that it can never go beyond these fourteen inch thick reinforced steel walls. If even a single syllable of what is about to be revealed to you is breathed to the outside world, the entire project, yourselves included, will have to be burned. Literally. )

Title: The Waiting Job
Fandom: Leverage
Pairing: none specifically but hints of Nate/Sophie and Eliot/Hardison/Parker

Warnings: some violence, some swearing.

Summary: They're out of food, and someone's going to have to go out to get more before they die. They have no choice at this point. Hopefully the zombies will see it that way and not give them a hard time.

Author's Notes: A hundred thousand shambling, hungry thank yous to maskedfangirl for the amazing beta. Thanks to Katie, who was my darling alpha reader and helped with title woes. Y'all can check out the mix that accompanies this story and half inspired it/half was inspired by it, over here. Leverage and its characters are property of their respective owners and no infringement is intended.


( It seemed like the first month in the apartment had passed in the blink of an eye. )

( I know you can't save me, but then again, I never asked you to. )

Title: The Naked Break-In Plot
Fandom: Leverage
Pairing: Alec/Eliot/Parker
Rating: adults only
Word Count: ~785
Summary: "Dude, did you break into my apartment?"

Eliot is about to explain that it wasn't him, it was Parker, but when he looks down, Parker is gone.
Author's Notes: Written for Porn Battle X. Prompt 'naked' and 'break in'. I apparently missed the comma between the two words and thought 'okay but how would that work?' My reading fail amused me more than anything else.



"I told you I could," she huffs, pushing open the door.

"I never said you couldn't. I just said that I have a key, Parker!"

She blinks at him like he's talking nonsense at her. "But the door is open."

( Eliot stares.  )

Title: Braid
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Anna/Jo
Rating: 13+
Word Count: ~600
Summary: Anna likes to watch Jo's hands.
Author's Notes: Written for Porn Battle X. Prompt 'hair'.



It's what most people would call a strange way to spend an evening; packing rock salt into shells, bottling holy water or memorizing Latin spells, but for Jo, it's relaxing. She's been doing these things so long, it's second nature now. Jo can carry on a conversation while her hands do the work.

( The thin redheaded angel sits across the table from her, watching those hands.  )
