At first, Alec just plain doesn't get why it's always lights off with Eliot.

( Eliot never gets undressed in front of him and he's always up and gone before Alec wakes up, and they never, ever shower together, no matter how messy and sweaty they've gotten. )

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. )

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. )

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. )

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. )

"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. )

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. )
