Author's Notes: Written for The Black Emporium 2016.

A treat for serenityfails because I like your username. Serenity frequently fails me, so I feel you.

A hundred lovely thank yous to buhne for beta-ing.

A single, soggy thank you to my partner for falling into the swamp and coming up with plants stuck on his head. Just classic.

1000 headcanons fell out of me the moment I started writing, it was magical. Ask me about the 10,000 words I want to write about their 'real' names. I dare you.

"Remind me again," Dalish says, smashing one of the stinking creatures in the face with the butt end of her non-specific-but-definitely-not-magical-weapon. "Why the Chief thought this would be the easy end of the assignment?"

"At least it's only dogs," Skinner says, stabbing the last living one as carefully as she can.

"Wargs," Krem says with a sigh, ( as though it's the fifteenth time that day he's had to say it (it is). )

( There was a peal of thunder off in the distance, but Ike judged the storm to be at least an hour off. )

--

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. )

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. )

Rating: all

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. )

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