Chasing Death by Shade-Shifter
Title: Chasing Death (on AO3) or Chasing Death (on FF.net)
Author: shade_shifter
Rating: R
Crossover: Leverage
Pairing: Methos/Elliot Spencer
Why this must be read: The first reason this is a must read is the perspective. The reader gets to see the outsider point of view of both Methos and Elliot Spencer as they discover bits and pieces of each other. The second reason is that it's a believable relationship between two dangerous individuals each of whom have a whole lot of secrets and yet their relationship is also fun and happy, as they chase each other, protect each other, and capture and release each other.
"See you later," Eliot says, like he knows anything more is just as likely to send Methos running as it is to draw him closer. But then Eliot doesn't know about Kronos, the last person who tried to possess Methos so completely, and who Methos wanted to possess him more than was healthy.
"Yeah," Methos says a little hoarsely and slips away from Eliot. He grabs his coat, the weight of his sword on the left side and his gun on the right a comfort. "I'll call you." It sounds trite, even false, and he can't be sure if he really means it or not. He's never been one for honesty, even with himself.
"If you don't," Eliot tells him with a wicked smile, "I'll find you. You can't hide from me."
Methos laughs, truly amused, as he looks coyly across at Eliot.
"More dangerous men than you have tried to find me before."
"So then don't hide too well."
"Don't give up so easily," Methos says, then slips out the door.
