Story Summaries
1.
Summary Nate and Sophie get married, but of course, their wedding doesn't exactly turn out the way it's supposed to. Behind the backs of the newly married couple, quite a few things are going on, including an unexpected job, which basically makes them the team's clients. Eliot and Parker admit their feelings to each other, Hardison spots bad guys among the guests, and, along with Captain Bonanno, the trio has to make sure to stop those guys before they can mess with their friends' wedding party.
Pairings and Genre - Pairings: Eliot/Parker, Nate/Sophie. Genre: romance, friendship
-
2
Summary: The opening chapter finds the Team one day after return from Japan Job ( while Parker was left home because of the torn knee)
The team decides it's better to not let Parker know what exactly happened in Japan, but in their reactions and thoughts a few details are revealed.
At the end of the chapter Eliot receives a phone call from Shelley, and tells Nate he has to go for six days, to pay off one old debt. Only Nate knows he is doing a job ( though he doesn't know exactly what and where), the rest of the Team thinks he is fishing.
The rest of the chapters follow the Team in Portland, mainly in their office, dealing with Parker's curiosity about Japan, what they evade as much as they can. Parker is bored and nervous, her love for jewells is awaken again, she knows they are hiding something from her.
As days go by, they all started to suspect Eliot's fishing trip, so Nate has to deal with Parker's obsessions with diamonds in Washington, Hardison's crazy plans to lull her curiosity about Japan, and their starting to draw from him information about Eliot.
At one point, Nate receives a phone call from Insp. Bonnano, who asks him about Eliot, and in the conversation they found out where is he and what he is trying to do. ( he went to save a son of his nurse Betsy Roberts, who is also Bonnano's friend - she saved Eliot's life in Boston)
Team chapters are cut with short Eliot's scenes, where we see him in deserts of Afganistan, where he searches for captured US marines, and makes plans for retrieval. Finally, he realises the only way to get them back is to buy them, and he pays for their lives with a stolen US tank.
(This story line was problem, I had to rewrite it all, so I can't provide any more details, I'm still working on it)
When six days are over, and Eliot isn't coming, the worry and tension in Portland rises, but he returns about time they decided to start their search for him.
The entire fic is full of Japan references ( sapphirre monkey, Emperor's Palace in Tokyo, samurai's swords).
Eliot cuts his hair when he arrives in desert, so both long and short hair can go. His storyline is full of desert images, turbans, military clothes and equipment, and of course, a tank at the end.
Warnings: none ( except this is No.5 in my 'Texas Mountain laurel' series, starting with The Occam's Razor Job, where Betsy and Bonnano are active characters, so someone unfamiliar with that might get a little confused)
Pairings: canon
Genre: canon, gen, team fic

3
Summary: After the fiasco with Michael and his followers, life settled down a bit. Eliot still did jobs for the Order of Thanatos, and now that Nate and Sophie had left the game, he, Hardison, and Parker were all set to take their crusade against corporate greed international. Then one day an old acquaintance of Eliot's shows up, calling in a favor owed. He has a job for Eliot, one which could not only get him kill, but start a war if the wrong people found out about it.
Warnings: OC character death
Pairings and Genre: Nate/Sophie, Parker/Hardison, Urban Fantasy, crossover with White Collar
-
4
Summary: Members of the shadowy secret society known only as The Core have a plan. They're going to resurrect the mummy of Tammuz, so he can tell them where his father's treasure is buried. There are only two problems . The first problem is five hunters who've figured out what The Core is doing and are determined to stop them. The second is an ancient legend, the one that says Tammuz's a demi-god, who happens to be just as evil as his father, Nimrod.
Sterling is nothing if not an opportunistic man. So when a sarcophagus with a Sumerian mummy gets stolen from a museum, he knows Nate's the man to solve the case. Their history be damned. When Nate finds out Sophie Deveraux--a Shadowless on the hunt for vampires--is involved, he decides to take the case, but not for Sterling. He recruits Hardison--a Medjay with mad hacking skills, a superiority complex and a love for orange soda--and gets Eliot Spencer--a shape shifter and hunter-- and Parker--a Hawke with a protective Hound named Cookie--with him. Together, can they figure out who stole the mummy and why?
Warnings: Language, minor character death
Pairing(s): None
Genre: Adventure, "sci-fi" (supernatural elements)
-
5
Summary: Nathan didn't like the look on Eliot's face, neither he liked Eliot's change in behaviour. And the least thing he likes were the bruises that turned up on Eliot. But when Eliot disappears, Nathan is angry. At himself, at Eliot and most of all at this scum that called himself Eliot's boyfriend.
Warnings:Hurt/Comfort, Rape (at the moment not in detail). I'm going to write if the warnings are gonna change.
Pairings: Slash, OC/Eliot, Nathan/Eliot
Genre: Hurt/Comfort
-
6
Summary: This is a sequel of one of my previous fics where I revised Season 1 of Leverage with Sam still being alive. Transition it's my version of Season 2. Nate and Sam have just moved to Boston and even though Nate has though to leave the life of conman behind it, the team and Sam manage to bring him back into it. It can be read as a separate story even without reading my previous fic.
Warning: None that I can think off. There's going to be some hard angst, but I can't give too much away if not it will spoil the plot.
Pairing: It's Nate/Sophie most
-
7
Summary - The team is settling in after their relocation to Portland, but some of the demons that plagued them in Boston are still very much in play. While the women in Nate's life are trying to figure out how to break his deal with Crowley/Sterling for his soul, other parties are chasing the same goal but less scrupulous about making sure Nate survives the process. Meanwhile, Parker's search for a passion in her life is starting to hint at a very different past than the one the team has always assumed was true for their thief.
Warnings - Spoilers for "The French Connection Job", general backstabbing and betrayal.
Pairings and Genre - All canon pairings, except for Faith/Eliot. Leverage/Buffy/Angel/Dollhouse fusion
-
8
Summary - Hardison, Eliot and Parker are working a job on the corrupt president of a pharmaceutical company, and it's Hardison's turn to play Nate. Every single decision he makes has the potential of blowing up in his face, but that's no reason to stop it. (A post-series Choose Your Own Adventure Story in which there could be several outcomes. Most of them aren't fatal.)
-
9
Summary: After their first case in Portland, the Leverage team run into an old friend of Eliot's, and a secret is revealed. Crossover with Grimm, with Blutbad!Eliot.
Warnings: Threesome
Pairings & Genre: Leverage/Grimm - Eliot/Hardison/Parker, Nick/Monroe, background Sophie/Nate
-
10
Summary- Sterling kisses Eliot in the middle of a job and Eliot's entire life changes. He tries to fight his attraction at first and continues to treat Sterling the same way that his team does. After a huge fight Eliot realizes that Sterling is something more, and once they make up, Eliot couldn't be happier. That doesn't mean everything is easy for them though. The team still hates Sterling and Olivia is ashamed of Eliot. Eliot really doesn't care though. He loves Sterling and he's tired of denying it.
Warnings- NC-17. So much schmoop. I don't even know how it happened. These two should not be this schmoopy but they are. It's scary how much schmoop is in here. There's some angst. Rimming. Mild violence- nothing worse than what is in the show.
Pairings and Genre- Sterling/Eliot. Domestic schmoop.
-
11
Summary: The team reunites under odd circumstances to revisit an artifact Elliot and Nate recovered years ago, meeting old enemies on the way...
Warnings: None at the moment.
Pairings and Genre - Pairings pending; genre: action/adventure
-
12
Summary: Starting to settle down with Eliot should have been the start of something good for Quinn but when the unthinkable happens he’s forced to negotiate between his relations with SHIELD and his association with the Leverage crew. Facing an unknown memory, Quinn must work to maintain the trust of Parker and her team whilst coming to terms with his past – and possible future – with Clint.
Warnings: Character death -Eliot dies . Some violence of the type found in Leverage and Avengers MCU. There is also an incident in which a city gets attacked (in the usual Avengers films kind of way which may be potentially upsetting to some.
Pairings and Genre: Crossover with Avengers MCU, Quinn/ Clint (main pairing), Quinn/Eliot also features, as does Nate/Sophie and Parker/Hardison as in canon.
Rating: R
-
13
Summary - The threat issued by CIA Director Conrad at the end of The Experimental Job proves to be anything but idle. The team is blackmailed into working for the CIA to help gain control of the major nuclear pipeline into Iran. To accomplish this and keep their loved ones safe, they are forced to work with an old enemy towards a common goal.
What the CIA fails to realize is that catching the Leverage team and holding them are usually two different things.
What Nate fails to realize is that the price for squirming free of the government's grasp is likely to be higher than he expected.
Pairings and Genre - All canon pairings. Gen fic.
-
14
Summary: Director Nick Fury had things arranged just how he wanted them. Everyone was tucked up under the SHIELD umbrella, and they were all living happily ever after…or were they? Eliot protects. That's his job. As his Leverage family begins to merge with his Avenger family, it's not the villains causing problems. Will the pressure expose the cracks in Eliot's relationship with Clint, and will it survive? In a game of chess with mortal pawns can Eliot complete his endgame, and how does the Winter Soldier factor in the game?
A/N: Spoilers: Season 5 Leverage, scrambles the order of the episodes setting The White Rabbit Job and The Low Low Price Job before The Rundown Job, The Long Goodbye. Part 2 in The One-Eyed King Series
