Author's Notes: Thanks to my amazing betas and to my artists for being so patient and talented. Also thanks to

chosenfire28 and

ordinaryink for being ridiculous awesome and making me things to go along with this.

The Greater Cityopolis City Zoo is getting an elephant for the first time in their history, and with is comes the new elephant keeper. And as Parker points out, "they're elephants, so it's clearly a huge deal."

Dear Mr. Spencer,
I want to again thank you for agreeing to come on board with us here at The Greater Cityopolis Area Zoo for this momentous undertaking. I'm speaking not only on behalf of myself as zoo director, but also for our board of trustees, our staff and volunteers, our patrons and guests, and especially on behalf of the elephant we'll all be saving together.

We're all looking forward to meeting you when you arrive. If there is anything I can do to make your transition any easier, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Nate Ford
General Director
Greater Cityopolis Area Zoo

( Eliot read the email for the seventeenth time and still didn't feel any better about it. )

( When Parker got back from walking Arrow, Eliot was sitting at the table in the kitchen and frowning down at some paperwork. )

Fandom: Leverage
Pairing: Eliot/Hardison
Rating: R
Word Count: 23,000
Warnings: Strong language, lots of knives, spanking
Author's Notes: I want to thank

jendavis for throwing me a rope and dragging me out when I was trapped in the deepest of plot holes. I actually would not have finished this story if it hadn't been for that help. And, of course,

cantarina for being a brilliant beta and only making me cry a few times (and for not eating me because I just thanked her in a sentence starting with 'and').

All of the gratitude to

pyalgroundblz for the creating absolutely fantastic art and one of the best mixes I've ever heard. I am very happy to have gotten to work with such a great artist.

I also want to thank

inkruns for being herself, always.

And oh,

sparrowshellcat drew fanart. (Moderately NSFW, a little spoiler-y for the fic)

Leverage is the hot, exciting place on the restaurant scene these days, thanks to its hot, exciting executive chef, Eliot Spencer. New hire Alec Hardison is a mild mannered, smooth talking waiter by night and a double-life-living, top secret culinary school student by day. Together, they'll cook up some sizzling dishes... both in and out of the kitchen.

Eliot Spencer was being hailed as the hottest new thing on the food scene since the oven, and while that was great for business, Hardison didn't really see what the big deal was. Yeah, the food at Leverage looked good, but Hardison wasn't convinced by that alone. Seeing was not everything. It had to taste good too. Not that he could judge the taste; he hadn't eaten anything Spencer had cooked yet, and he was expecting it to be a few more years before he could afford to eat at Leverage on his own dime. But wait staff like him sometimes got asked to be guinea pigs for new dishes or got leftovers after a service, so he figured it was only a matter of time until he found out exactly what Spencer could do and if he lived up to any of the hype.

( And Alec Hardison would be the first one to admit that he was a little weird about food. )

Title: Bruises

Parker and Hardison buy a house in the suburbs, a big, old one that needs a ton of renovations to make it habitable.

( They love that stupid house so much that it inspires the rest of the crew. )

Always Darkest Before Dawn

Beta'd by

cherie_morte.

Fandom: Leverage
Pairing: none
Rating: R (adults only)
Word Count: 29,900
Warnings: (temporary) character death
Author's Notes: Written for

apocabigbang 2010. Fusion based on Christopher Moore's A Dirty Job. Previous knowledge of that story absolutely not required. At least ninety-one thank yous to my fantastic beta, and ninety-one more to my fabulous artists. Thanks everyone! :)

One of the mysteries of the universe is why Parker, of all people, gets the ability to see a soul after it departs the body of the recently deceased. They're glittery and she's Parker, so of course she starts picking them up, not knowing what they really are. Of course, she could just look in the instruction manual... but oh, no, Hardison's taken it.

Then the hellhound shows up and starts eating the doors off her cupboards, and Eliot is breaking into people's homes to threaten them with tape and knives. It's been a very stressful couple of weeks and all Parker wants is a vacation, or a nice, relaxing art theft, but now the forces of darkness (whatever that means) are bent on destroying the world. And then, if she somehow ever gets that mess sorted out, Hardison's been complaining that all his Hot Pockets taste like doom...

( Death was there and Death saw, in the way that Death can see anything and everything if that's what Death wants to see. )

When it came time to write this one down in the annals of history, it would be chalked up to 'wrong place, wrong time.' Unfortunately, Parker had had no inclination of this when she went into the house, or else she probably would have made sure she was in a different place or at least a different time.

( The con of the week wasn't anything stressful or mentally challenging, at least for Parker's part. )

Next: Part Two

Dean was winding his way through back streets and unlit alleys when the downpour started. "Just great," he muttered. He ducked into the closest doorway to see if maybe his luck would turn around for once and the rain would let up in a few minutes so he could make it back to the car relatively unscathed.

( He leaned back against the old wooden door and tried to keep warm in his jacket. )

Title: Long Process
Fandom: Leverage
Pairing: Alec Hardison/Eliot Spencer/Parker

Sometimes, it all seemed like too much. Sometimes, the weight was too heavy, the memories were too strong, the self-loathing was too overwhelming.

( Sometimes, he was a melodramatic fuck and he hated himself for it. )

Hardison woke up suddenly, from a deep, warm sleep and a strange dream. It took him a full three quarters of a second to realize he was not in his own bed, and an additional half of a second to realize that his strange dream was, in fact, a strange last night.

( 'You're sneaking out?' he asked, when he heard the door swing open. )

Title: Capable Hands

Sometimes, Eliot watched Parker.

Summary: Forgiveness doesn't always come easy.

maskedfangirl.

"Don't speak to me," Hardison said. There was an edge to his voice that he'd only ever used with Eliot once or twice before.

"C'mon, I --"

"Seriously, I don't want to hear your voice right now."

( Eliot crossed his arms over his chest and glared out the window while Hardison drove. He figured if Hardison was going to be a bitch, so was he. It was a very tense car ride. )

Title: Glad You're Not Roadkill
Fandom: Leverage
Pairing: Alec Hardison/Eliot Spencer

Summary: Eliot always blames himself.
Author's Notes: Originally written for 5 Acts, January 2011. Beta'd by

"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: A Joy To Pass A Quiet Night At Home
Fandom: Leverage
Pairing: Eliot/Parker/Hardison
Rating: all

Author's Notes: This is for

cherie_morte, because she is the shining sharklight of my life. Many thanks to

creativescape and

waterofthemoon for speedy and excellent beta-ing.

( Parker's breathless and grinning when they come in. Eliot is decidedly less cheery, stomping his boots on the mat and throwing his mittens at Hardison. Hardison smiles. )
