Rating: PG - 13
Word Count: 16,409

The Tangled Web Job written bytelaryn & scout_lover with art by alinaandalion
Characters/Pairings: Team, Damien Moreau, Director Conrad, Sterling, Nana, all canon pairings.
Rating: PG-13 leaning over the fence and shaking hands with R
Warnings/Spoilers: Set after the events of The Last Dam Job, the story is directly drawn from events in The Experimental Job.
Word Count: 50,069
Summary: The threat issued by CIA Director Conrad at the end of The Experimental Job proves to be anything but idle. The team is blackmailed into working for the CIA to help gain control of the major nuclear pipeline into Iran. To accomplish this and keep their loved ones safe, they are forced to work with an old enemy towards a common goal.
What the CIA fails to realize is that catching the Leverage team and holding them are usually two different things.
What Nate fails to realize is that the price for squirming free of the government's grasp is likely to be higher than he expected.

Great Was The Fall written by yanzadracan with art by sian1359
Fandom: Avengers/Leverage
Word Count: 20,736
Pairings: Eliot Spencer/Clint Barton; Nate/Sophie; Tony/Pepper; Natasha Romanoff/Phil Coulson; Parker/Hardison
Rating: R
Warnings: language; a little sex, a little violence
Summary: Director Nick Fury had things arranged just how he wanted them. Everyone was tucked up under the SHIELD umbrella, and they were all living happily ever after…or were they? Eliot protects. That's his job. As his Leverage family begins to merge with his Avenger family, it's not the villains causing problems. Will the pressure expose the cracks in Eliot's relationship with Clint, and will it survive? In a game of chess with mortal pawns can Eliot complete his endgame, and how does the Winter Soldier factor in the game?
A/N: Spoilers: Season 5 Leverage: The Rundown Job, The Long Goodbye. Part 2 of The One-Eyed King series.

Some things become easier, but some things become more complicated. In the end, all Eliot knows is that he has fallen head over heels for Sterling.

There Are Wolves written by goneahead & tattooeddevil with art by firefly1344
Characters: Nate, Sophie, Eliot, Hardison, Parker and Cookie, Archie, Tara, Jim Sterling, Chaos, Tony Kadjic, Damien Moreau, Victor Dubenich, Ian Blackpoole and Alex O’Connell
Genre: Gen, AU - Adventure, “sci-fi" of the supernatural variation.
Rating: R
Warnings/Spoilers: Language, multiple minor character deaths, gore
Word Count: ~39,280
Summary: Members of the shadowy secret society known only as The Core have a plan. They're going to resurrect the mummy of Tammuz, and use his power to take over the world. There are only two problems . The first problem is five hunters who've figured out what The Core is doing and are determined to stop them. The second is an ancient legend, the one that says Tammuz's a demi-god, who happens to be just as evil as his father, Nimrod.
Sterling is nothing if not an opportunistic man. So when a sarcophagus with a Sumerian mummy gets stolen from a museum, he knows Nate's the man to solve the case. Their history be damned. When Nate finds out Sophie Devereaux --a Shadowless on the hunt for vampires--is involved, he decides to take the case, but not for Sterling. He recruits Hardison--a Medjay with mad hacking skills, a superiority complex and a love for orange soda--and gets Eliot Spencer--a shape Shifter and hunter--and Parker--a Hawke with a protective Hound named Cookie--with him. Together, can they figure out who stole the mummy and why?

Rating: PG-13
Genre: Gen
Warnings/Spoilers: Set in Season 5 in the days leading up to The French Connection Job
Word Count: 43,954
Summary:As Faith and Sophie continue to search for a way to release Nate from his deal with the King of Hell, other players on the cosmic stage believe they have the only solution to keep Nate's soul out of play and are willing to go to extraordinary means to make it happen.
Meantime, Parker's quest for a passion in her life is revealing hints of a darker past than most of the team has suspected before now.
While the story stands on its own merits, this is a Ties That Bind 'Verse tale, where Faith the Vampire Slayer is Nate's illegitimate daughter.
