The Spencer Family Job

(Author's Note: I read that the writers of Leverage and the writers of Psych wanted to do a crossover episode where it was revealed that Eliot Spencer was Henry Spencer's nephew and Shawn Spencer's first cousin, and I cannot tell you how much I needed that crossover. Allegedly, it was derailed when James Roday as … Continue reading The Spencer Family Job →

Eliot’s Dream Job

As long as she was here and she was safe, he was glad to let her sleep against him. He gathered her in carefully, as much for her sake as for his. They would be fine, he was sure. FInally, lulled by her quiet breathing and the stillness in the bedroom, he fell into a deep, dream-filled … Continue reading Eliot’s Dream Job →

The Repaid Favor Job

Things were progressing nicely along the path Eliot had laid out earlier that day, so to speak. A casual day out, an excellent dinner that he had prepared, a good bottle of wine; they were just settling in for the evening. So when Devil started barking like Hell was at the door, they were both … Continue reading The Repaid Favor Job →

The Bad Wolf Job

(Author's note: Thanks to Frock Flicks for the phrase "tits out". They have no idea I'm using it.) He was reading through Hardison’s information on their next potential client when she came downstairs with Parker. Eliot wasn’t sure exactly why the thief was here, but they’d spent half the afternoon up in Ophelia’s dressing room. … Continue reading The Bad Wolf Job →

The Shield Job

He was surprised to receive her text message inviting him to dinner; she rarely initiated contact when he said he would be out of town. It wasn’t because she didn’t like to hear from him, she just thought they’d both be better off if she didn’t interrupt something sensitive, dangerous, or both. He could appreciate … Continue reading The Shield Job →

The Getaway Driver Job

Melanie was in Ophelia’s office, drinking tea and attempting to pry all the information she could out of Ophelia about the man she’d been seeing. “He’s way too hot for you,” Melanie teased. “You’ll have no idea what to do with him, then you’ll have to call me and it’ll be all awkward.” “Melly, I’ve … Continue reading The Getaway Driver Job →

The Dinner Job

Eliot did not believe in coincidence. A bad guy shows up in the same place they want the ransom? Not a coincidence. Villain sends you somewhere that’s easily ambushed? Not a coincidence. His girlfriend’s dog downtown on a Saturday? He had to admit, his girlfriend was the only person who could probably bend coincidence to … Continue reading The Dinner Job →

The Faire Play Job

(Author's note: First, I wrote this before the Leverage: Redemption Renn Faire episode aired, I swear. And I wrote the line "Nerf swords and inflatable horses?" based on his line about fighting someone with a Nerf sword in Damascus in "The Cross My Heart" job. Second: this one is really long. Grab a snack and … Continue reading The Faire Play Job →

The Classroom Job

(Author’s Note: sorry! I posted this twice. It has been edited down to one story now. I apologize; it was late and I’m feeling very much like Eliot towards technology this week. I’d like to punch it.) Hardison’s research was very complete, so it was no trouble to find her page on the university website, … Continue reading The Classroom Job →

The Brunch Job

“Parker, are you busy Sunday morning?” Sophie asked as she strolled through the main part of the office, planner open in her hand. She thought it charmingly old-fashioned white knowing it was difficult to hack pen and ink. “Don’t think so. What’s up?” “I thought we’d take Eliot’s new girlfriend to brunch,” Sophie smiled. “If … Continue reading The Brunch Job →
