Leverage Fic Recs


Essentially Leverage fanfics that I have read over the last few months and enjoyed. Links and summaries...sorted by finished and unfinished. Honestly if something is unfinished and I'm rec'ing it...it's gotta be pretty damn good. So you can read or not, but please if you do read...leave the author a comment...they've worked really hard on these and it's always nice to know their work is appreciated.

I don't really ship anyone in particular, I'm looking more for good stories than particular pairings, but I'd rather see Sophie with Nate. And I'm really getting damn tired of Eliot sleeping with everyone! So in no real order...just the things I've enjoyed the last few months in hopes that it'll keep you interested in the show until it returns on JULY 15th!

(And I'll probably do another fic rec before the show starts again...)


Finished Fics

A Bad Influence Nate expected many things coming into the office every morning. Visitors weren't out of the ordinary, either. This particular visitor, however, was quite unexpected

Passing By Sometimes, when Eliot can’t sleep, he drives around town. He never has any destination in mind, but he always ends up passing each home of his team.

A Little R&R**Slash NC-17

Boredom Parker/Eliot friendship/bonding. Slightly set in The Stork Job, but no spoilers.

Suits and a Seamstress Parker thinks something is wrong with Eliot's suits, Eliot's just wondering what Parker is thinking.

Feeling Like the Sundance Kid Nate is surprised. Not nearly as surprised as the vault.

Eliot Fights a Bear Eliot fights a bear, need I say more?

Family After All Eliot gets amnesia. Confusion ensues. Written for a challenge at geteven getfic over on LJ. The longest thing I've written so far, about 5,000 words, or 8 word pages, lol. I hope you like it! Please review.

Fighting Chance That's why Eliot hates guns.

Getting Here Eliot is sick, Hardison and Parker are calling Nate Dad, and they've all ended up someplace they never expected to be.

M&M Eliot and Parker loose at a Sam's club. Seriously what were they thinking? But hysterical outcome!

Not a Job Parker is tired..but has no bed. Read if you want to know why, and how she remedies it. Mostly P/H.. but also kind of a teamfic. Takes place in the days leading up to Second David Job. Hope you like!

Plan F Complications arise during a break-in with Parker forcing Eliot to resort to Plan F. No pairings.

Sheet Music and Glasses Just a short fic between Parker and Eliot. He's wearing his glasses and Parker likes them on him.

Smile Just a quiet moment at the Leverage offices. Written for the leverage500 challenge "lies".

What Parker Knows It started with a midnight snack.

Spider and it's companion Web Parker ends up topless, as she tends to, and wackiness ensues. Whole team's here, but this is ultimitely Parker/Hardison humor/fluff. Just a bit of fun.

The French Job When Eliot and Parker are stuck in a hotel with no air conditioning, Parker learns why hair shouldn't be that close to fans and Eliot learns why she isn't that fond of ponytails. Eliot/Parker.

The One That Got Away Psych/Leverage Crossover It was just Shawn’s luck that Eliot was spotted by the one guy on the Santa Barbara PD who frequently checked the International Most Wanted List.

Two's Company Nate and Sophie hide out for a while in what could be an interesting situation. If only they were alone...

Your Happy Place While Eliot and Hardison fight, Parker and Sophie wait anxiously for the moment we've all been waiting for. Not slash in any way.

Your Plant Died Parker's plant dies, and she deals with it in a very Parker way. Eliot/Parker, friendship/bonding. Maybe pre-romantic if you squint, but I think it depends on how you choose to read it. 500 words. Just a random one shot. Hope you like!

Hall & Oates are a National Treasure! This may be crackfic. At the least, its a fun little oneshot. Anybody else think Hardison may be a secret Hall & Oates fan after watching the Bank Shot Job? Maybe it's just me.. but I hope you enjoy this anyway!

Upside Down Parker is just being Parker, giving our boys something to talk about. Honestly.. she keeps getting naked in my stories lately. What does this say about me? Lol, meh, whatever. Just a fun little drabble, hope you like!

Opposite Images They’re damn near identical, yet damn near complete opposites.

Black King White Knight **Slash An ex insurance investigator turned Black King and a retrieval specialist turned the team's white knight protector. Neither is particularly stable by any definition, but somehow they make it work. A series of Nate/Eliot one-shots and drabbles.

Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word Prompt: "76. Leverage - Eliot/Sophie - the apology Sophie doesn't stumble over, the one without Hardison and Parker jumping in to add their two cents."


Honestly just about anything by Goody rocks! I haven't read anything by her that I haven't enjoyed.


Unfinished Fics

If Memory Serves 50 Prompts: Nate and Sophie remember various incidents in their past. *Previously Known As 'In Living Memory'*

Old Friends, New Enemies A simple job becomes complicated when an old mark recognizes one of the team at a party and decides to settle an old score.

That's What I Do Eliot admited that he hurt people as part of his job. A job gone wrong forces the team to see Eliot as the professional retrieval specialist that he is.

The Sterling Job Sterling re-enters the team's life in a surprising way, forcing them to join forces with the NCIS agents to find out who is trying to kill them. Descriptions of child abuse.



And of course y'all can always go read my fic at either Fanfic.net or Live Journal

Dude, thanks for liking so many of my fics!

Also, I have read every single one of these I think, lol. Or started to anyway. That just goes to show how soon July needs to get its ass here!

Anyhoo, I swear I will be reading your leverage stuff, starting tonight!

:D

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

I like more than that...but I gotta save some for next time.

Yeah I know...I had to read a couple so I could add them to the list and I have at least two that I couldn't put on cuz I haven't finished reading them yet...I refuse to rec a fic I haven't actually read.

Yeah I'll believe that when I see it!

[momotastic.livejournal.com]

Heee, FIC! Thank you! I was looking for some nice team!fic. Thank you again! Totally saved my Sunday.

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

FIC is awesome! Not sure how much of this is team!fic, but yeah everything is pretty much made of the awesome. I tend to rec what I like and like I said I don't ship anyone and I tend to stay away from the pairings (although I've been reading everything) so yeah ya got a ton of stuff here.

Glad to save your Sunday... *sigh* wish there was hope for mine! (And just noticed I need to do a little editing so...)

[momotastic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's one fic that's not properly linked. The one by Goody I think.

I'll see what I like of the stuff I clicked ;o) I'm not around Fanfiction.net so much so those are mostly new to me anyway ;o)

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Yeah that would be the one I just noticed and went and fixed...this is what happens when you work on it for like three straight hours, while watching Leverage, talking with your cousin, and watching the psycho cat.

That's awesome! Goody is Robinj (I think that's right) on LJ so some of her stuff might be familiar...and some of us (me included) cross post and use different names on LJ and ff.net.

Well I just got an alert on something non-Leverage related so I'm gonna go check it out and then work on "Three for the Show" (after sending a friend a birthday wish) and then I need to shower/get ready for family dinner. *rolls eyes* Help! Help!

[momotastic.livejournal.com]

I used to post to FF.net but somehow am not anymore because FF.net mostly annoys me and LJ is kinda the place where fandom's happening anyway.

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

LOL yeah everyone keeps telling me that...I cross post because I can find my stuff quicker and easier on ff a lot of times...but yeah... *shrugs* I dunno. I don't really care. Until I'm in a position to have my own page...I'll just leave it there and I've got too many people who follow me on both sites to delete it from ff at the moment.

[momotastic.livejournal.com]

Dude, no need to explain yourself to me ;o) I don't judge. Much. lol

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

LOL welcome to my world where judgment is the order of the day, month, year. Everyone must judge you...at least in my family.

LOL which is why I love my friends so much!

[astridv.livejournal.com]

Oh yay, this list is just what I need. Since I discovered the show a couple weeks ago I've been devouring every Leverage fic I could get my grabby hands on, and it's getting harder and harder to find new stuff. Looks like there are quite a few fics here that I haven't seen yet! *bookmarks*

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Yeah this one is old...I've got to update, but well, all my bookmarks got wiped out recently so I have to go back and find stuff.

You can also hit my tags. And I've got some stuff on ff.net still under Medie Shanachie.
