FIC: In the Middle of the Night (Leverage)
So I spent a lot of time "discussing" my thought process for my Leverage Big Bang and how I was having trouble coming up with something I liked enough to write 10k but then the editing helped and I have something that I'm much prouder of. Now, after all that time, I can finally show you what I was talking about as it was our posting day!
Title: The Middle of the Night
Author: lar_laughs
Beta(s): imagine_that
Disclaimer: I do not own any part of the show or these characters.
This is all done in fun.
Characters/Pairings: Eliot/Parker/Alec, Nate, Sophie, original characters
Rating: PG-13
Genre: hurt/comfort, angst, drama
Warnings/spoilers: some violence/language
Word Count: 11322
Summary: It's the middle of a con and Eliot is bound up in a warehouse, out of contact with the rest of the team. He has to rely on them coming to get him and they have to rely on themselves to get the job done in a timely fashion before he's too far gone.

The Story
Some of you might know about my penchant for including quotes at the beginning of each chapter. I've sort of done away with that lately but that use to be my thing. I sort of went back to that but decided to sort of use quotes as my chapter titles. There used to much more of a "move from twilight to dawn" theme that got sort of lost in the edits because the title no longer really fit what the chapters were.
The title comes from the song "In the Middle of the Night" by Within Temptation.
Sadly, there used to be another character in the story but he got lost in the edits, as well. I have to say that I owe Shelley (Eliot's friend from the Boys Night Out job) a special story for having him come all this way just to get cut out. By having him in the story, it reduced Parker to nearly nothing (and I think she was doing mean things to my muse) and that wasn't the story was meant to be. I had fun writing Shelley so he will definitely be back in another story. Maybe I'll resurrect some of the witty banter because he had fun talking with Alec.
What else was I going to tell you here? As always, this is dedicated to Aster because, without her, I would never make it through the marathon writing sessions that I have to endure because I can't seem to write any of these stories EARLY. And I had so much fun getting to write a story for ghoulfang's graphic AND getting to know him on LJ. I don't think I've ever had a big bang end in friendship! That was well worth it all and went a long way in me not just dropping out of this. So, thank you, both of you!
Also, a huge shout out to the all the people who listened to me whine about "I have to go write again" and encouraged me. It means a lot to get to talk to all of you have know that you're in the same boat that I am!
