    Summary

    "Okay, so we are never doing a con like that again," Quinn said, after a successful artifact retrieval.

    The job had involved a three-week con with Quinn playing a mysterious crime boss and Eliot playing his violent enforcer.

    "You don't think I played the role well?" Eliot asked. The job had gone off without a hitch and he, for one, thought they had both played their roles perfectly.

    It was an easy space to slip into. It reminded him of how simple things were back in the military and the PMCs, where he could let someone else call all the shots. All he had to do was unleash his violence as directed and trust whoever was directing to take care of everything else.

    Of course, with the PMCs, well. He'd learned the hard way never to trust himself to a corporation, no matter what patriotic values they may have been founded on.

    With Quinn, though. Quinn had played the boss flawlessly--the man with a plan, to whom you could trust every aspect of your being.

    "No, you were perfect," Quinn said. He paused, then added, "It was terrifying."

    ***

    (AU where Eliot encountered Quinn fresh out of his PMCs, and they'd been working together on and off for years when Team Leverage called Quinn in.)

    Summary

    Buck dies, and he’s cold right away. They all are, this isn’t the kind of summer storm where the rain is almost warm. It’s freezing out here, even under all the layers of their gear. Bobby’s sure his own skin is corpse-cool, but he holds Buck and the harness pulls him stiff in his arms, and his body is cold, and he thinks Wait. It’s happening too fast. Wait. He’s dead, and Bobby lays him carefully on the gurney, and he rides up front with Eddie as they tear through the streets towards the hospital, frantic noise and movement reaching them from the back. He’s dead when they pull up to the doors. The human body begins to decay after four minutes, starts to consume itself, the final hunger. Bobby hears the crack of his sternum when Eddie’s palms press so far into his chest his heart starts to beat again. 43 seconds to spare.

    Summary

    It starts with a shirt in Bob's duffle. Kim empties the bag of clothing and it's at the bottom, just a t shirt she doesn't recognize, worn and soft, so blue it's almost purple.

    (Or, how two and two become three.)
