Fic: Temp Emergency, PG-13

[the_blue_fenix]

People from mm_ww  can regard this as an epilog or sequel to "The Guy in Second Place." People from leverage_on_tnt  can regard it as a practice piece where I try to get a handle on the various Leverage character voices. Two fandoms I like had characters with the same last name, I couldn't resist. I have no idea if I will ever attach a full-fledged Leverage plot to

Not bad, I'd personally like to see more of this

At some point Hardison ought to mention there is one system he found on the net he's never been able to hack, something called 'Haydar'. An Ida walk-on could be fun too.

I had a vague idea that at some point Eliot is completely set on doing something (e.g. killing a mark who's gone too far) which is a bad idea but no-one can talk him out of it. He storms off to do whatever it is ...
Nobody sees what happens, but whatever bad idea Eliot had doesn't come off. They find him unconscious and apparently badly injured, but it turns out that he will heal without permanent injuries in no time. He has a concussion and total amnesia about what happened.

I think you have the voices pretty good, and I'd love to read more. There's just one little thing - in my opinion Nate sounds a little too defensive at the beginning. He's the leader, after all, and I think he would just state the fact that he has "hired" his half-brother and give some explanations, but he'd be a little more confident about it. Just my two cents...
Otherwise, bring it on! *g*

I just don't like Leverage. I tried to like it, but I don't. So I didn't hang in long enough to know the characters well and tell you did well or not with them. (I'm sure you did, but I don't want to watch another episode.)j

I liked your Tyler and his interactions here. It would make sense he'd have to make his next career move carefully and perhaps a little sneakily. People are probably talking about him as the mistress who screwed Manservant Neville into a vegetative state. (He could, too. He's got those sinuous hips.)

Anyway, I shall avoid a lengthy discussion of psychosexual dominance, and say it was well done as usual, but I don't think I'd be keeping up with it because I keep getting confused with the Leverage characters.

Please don't be insulted. It's been a hard year for my tv watching. MM was on, then gone in a blink, and the only other show I like was hovering on the brink of cancellation until they revamped it in a way that disemboweled the female lead. Maybe I'll just stock up on books.

Leverage is a very different show from MM in tone and style. I'm sure plenty of their fan bases wouldn't overlap. I've been reading a lot of Leverage fic lately, and they both have male characters named "Ford," so I went with it.

(Although it should be noted that "Middleman" and "Leverage" had almost identical Bad Ass http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Badass scenes in their respective pilot episodes: one man goes into a bar full of heavily armed enemies, audience doesn't exactly see what happens but when the offscreen shooting stops the one man has beaten everybody up. To assess relative cool points levels, we'd have to know whether MM was holding the glass of milk the entire time.)

He was holding that milk the whole time! Of course he was. He is often the very polite definition of badass!
