Summary
“Parker,” Eliot hisses at the ceiling vent, “what the fuck?"
Aw, shit.
“Aw, shit.” Hardison grimaces, rubbing his head. In the…excitement of the night, he completely forgot about Parker. “Parker, why are you in the ceiling?”
There's a long pause.
“I don't understand the question,” Parker says.

"It was?" ...“I mean, it was. Obviously, it was, because I am a geek, not a virgin.” ... "Anymore"
“Parker, why are you in the ceiling?”
There's a long pause.
“I don't understand the question,” Parker says.“I don't knock,” Parker says. Simple. Parker doesn't knock. Between that and sneaking through the air ducts, option B is so obvious that she wouldn’t even consider option A.
“I make everything weird. It's part of my charm.”
This is not my ship but your characterizations made it worth it. I need more of your Autistic!Parker.

I enjoyed this so much. Finally, a satisfying conclusion to Travelers! You nailed the characterizations every time. The two fandoms merged beautifully. So satisfying. Still wondering how the future managed to stay ignorant of Desmond. I loved watching Desmond's people dealing with the travelers' condescending attitudes about their technology. Desmond is such a love, providing a place for the locals no matter how tough things are.

2014 Leverage Secret Santa 2014 - Three Fics by aunt_zelda for boundsofdecency

Summary
Three fics for the 2014 Leverage Secret Santa 2014.
1) Eliot/Moreau. Eliot has a horrible Christmas on Moreau's Bond Villain-esque island.
2) Detective Bonanno/Shelley. The developing relationship between the two. Involves gratuitous references to Boston, romance cliches, and a vespa chase.
3) Eliot/Quinn. Post-mission sex, huddling for warmth, references to the team OT3, angst on Quinn's part.

Bookmarker's Notes
Oh, the noncon in the Eliot/Moreau is decadent, with how Moreau takes it as a matter of course and with how Eliot approaches it with silent determination. It's not how Eliot wants the power structure to play out, but then, he's not surprised either. Perfect. So unbelievably perfect. And the backstory sets the scene elegantly. I could see so much of how those two work together and of who each man is in this time period, simply because you let me see what Eliot thinks of his boss and their situation with the Russians.
Your characterizations on Shelley and Bonanno shine. I can vividly see Shelley's easy grin and casual sexuality alongside Bonanno's good-natured interest. Oh, and the elegant tease as it closes with Shelley meeting his wife... Lovely. I can't even put my finger on all the reasons why this matches the glimpses we saw in canon, but it does. It's Shelley and Bonanno, clear as day, along with all the reasons why they fit together.
I love Quinn's lack of ability to relate where Eliot's family is concerned. He's considerate of it but it's simply outside of his experience. Still, he cares about Eliot, and that's all it takes for him to be a good friend. And that's the Quinn we saw in Last Dam Job -- a solid and dedicated friend. The smut was wonderful, too, in how it says so much about what Quinn wants and what Eliot's actions mean to him. And then you got me with a twist at the end -- that it isn't just that Quinn can't relate but that he's deeply lonely. Beautiful.
Thank you so much. Everything here is just right. You have that soft, subtle touch that makes things resonate so beautifully. Thank you for letting me see three different pairings, all with their own particular dynamics. I love them all, and you absolutely succeeded in giving me that fix for emotionally resonant fic. Excellent and perfect.

It's such a vivid description, how Eliot's world gets misaligned for a moment. I love it when Parker's crazy comes out to play. Eliot never stood a chance.

Loved the slow build-up, how we gradually get more and more information about how Eliot sees himself and his relationship. I love a fic that makes me wonder, "What if?"

Bookmarker's Notes
I like how Eliot doesn't try to fix Nate or explain what Nate did wrong; he just accepts it's time to walk away. Just right, for Eliot's temper. And Nate, so deep in his denial that he doesn't see the harm in it. Good characterizations.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is wonderful. Handled so beautifully, with Parker both a little clueless and yet understanding way too much about what no one should have to understand.
I loved the way Nate freaked out -- by telling Sophie to shut up. It's so him, so almost-controlled as he compensated by controlling someone else. Nate's awkwardness and genuine concern shone as he did a fabulous job of approaching it in a way that she could understand but trying to say as little as possible about it.
It's heartbreaking and so right that she'd think that he was bringing up the subject because he was interested, considering her background. You simply nailed the characterizations and how they'd handle this sort of situation.

Summary
This is set directly after The Two Live Crew Job, which is the one where they had Sophie's funeral and then Parker spent a surprising amount of the rest of the episode 'forgetting' that it had been fake. So then I wrote a thing. I don't know.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is brilliant. I love that Parker isn't simply being odd and silly, that it's because she sees things the way Sophie does -- that Sophie's various aliases are separate people. Makes me very curious about how it all plays out, the dynamics between Parker and the different personas.

Bookmarker's Notes
If Leverage's canon is competence porn, this is power and control porn. Heady stuff. Like whoa.
I've never seen someone shine the light on Nate like this. More of obsessed, controlling, power-hungry team-manipulating Nate, I beg of you!

Those two did have surprising chemistry on-screen and I love how you dug in on all the details. It's such a shame Shelley didn't get to come back for more eps. I'm with you, I think those two are a great match.

She was thinking about how sometimes you lose your identity willingly through things like whiskey and guilt and other times you lose it through names that aren’t your own.

Bookmarker's Notes
This sentence says so much:
Eliot’s pause lasted a moment too long, and when he spoke, his voice wasn’t nearly as steady as they both hoped it would be. “Doesn’t mean I couldn’t see the pain in her eyes.”
I love all the different emotional beats and how you brought them right in to the sex scene, making it as captivating as sex between those two should be.

Quinn knows that when he's with Eliot, they both have to be careful. Their reflexes are too fast, and they've been trained to put down threats, and so when they share their bodies, they constantly have to signal a truce.

The tone of this is so enticing. Somehow the badass nature of these characters becomes a vulnerability, which is just amazing. And wow, Quinn, does he even realize how much care and concern is in his thoughts about Eliot?

John wants to give this to Rodney.

Bookmarker's Notes
The following lines ring so true, it makes me cross-eyed. Wow. Just, this:
"Pink." Because John had come once, back in the beginning, and had lost his pleasant disconnect instantly. He'd freaked the fuck out, a cascade of worries that Rodney would think he'd fixed John -- that he'd fucked John normal. Rodney just snorted and gave him a new safeword so he'd know what was too sexual for John to handle.
