Summary
Edwin stepped closer, clearing his throat. “Excuse me, I couldn't help but overhear, but is it true you deal with ghosts who need their problems solved?”
Tricia looked at him sadly, and said, “Oh, well, I try, but I’m afraid I’ve got rather a lot on my plate at the moment. I don’t suppose it’s something simple?”
“Ah, no, you misunderstand,” Edwin hurried to correct. “My associate Charles and I are founding a ghost detective agency, and I wondered if we might be of any help.”
“Ghost detectives?” Tricia said thoughtfully. “Now there’s something we don’t get a lot of. I bet you have lots of advantages in snooping about without getting hurt.”

Summary
She narrows her eyes at him for a moment, then says, “You gave her that bear for a reason. What was it?”
“Because sometimes we expect the worst,” Mick says, “but hope still won’t die.”
“Yeah,” she agrees. Her eyes linger on the glass dome.
He knows the look in her eyes, the haunted look of not recognizing home til it’s been left behind.

Summary
So they strode across the lawn, side by side. Charles absently brushed a spiderweb off his face.
Then Edwin stopped. “Did you feel that?” he asked.
“No,” said Charles, and then remembered that he usually didn’t feel much of anything now, but he’d felt that little brush across his cheek. “Maybe?” he added. “Like what?”
“Like spider silk,” said Edwin.
“Yeah. Didn’t think much about it, but it is weird, right?”
“I had hoped that, not feeling anything as a ghost, I would be unbothered by spiders,” Edwin said with a shudder.

Summary
In which Eliot has a complicated relationship with relationships, Parker has a complicated relationship with feelings, and Hardison has a complicated relationship with expertise. A patchwork of missing scenes and added context that weaves the OT3 into canon.
On my second watch-through of OG Leverage, I hit The Boys' Night Out Job and suddenly shipped the OT3 super hard.
Was complete until Redemption came out. Thoroughly ficced my way through RS1, marked it complete again, even more thoroughly ficced my way through RS2! Marked it complete until some between-series ideas hit me, wrote those and then marked done. Opened it up for one multichap RS3 fic. Closed again. Beware the complete marker may again be removed
if we get more canonat any time without warning.- Words:

Summary
“Don’t you ever want more with… your soulmate?” With me. Don’t you ever want more with me?
Shane waited patiently for Rozanov’s answer, his heart pounding away in his chest as he stared at the other man.
“No,” Rozanov said decisively. Shane felt his heart shatter as the other man flicked his cigarette dismissively. “I do not have a soulmate.”
Oh. Shane sat in stunned silence for a few moments, his glass of vodka frozen in midair, halfway to his lips.
*
Ilya has lived his life knowing he would never find a soulmate, and Shane has lived his life waiting for his soulmate to acknowledge him.
