ScoutLover’s Corner

You have been my shipmate, my pard, my comma-wrangler and tangent-reiner-inner (no, really, it's a thing), my shoulder, the other half of the One Brain Thang, and always, always my friend. We've laughed together, cried together, and tried to figure out how the hell to move Texas and Ohio closer together. Along the way, we've inflicted some truly impressive physical and/or emotional damage on some lovely men, and figured out what happens when you rub said men together. ;)

Happiest of birthdays, sweetie! I love you and wish you all the happiness in the world. I even brung ya a present. ;)



I remain the gum beneath your shoe. ❤❤❤

Title: Always Falling Deeper
Rating: Teen and up
Characters/Pairing: Eliot Spencer, Damien Moreau
Word Count: 4,652
Spoilers: None
Warnings: None really. A few f-bombs, a mention of sex
Disclaimer: I own nothing save my endless fascination with these characters
Summary: Eliot worked for Moreau back in the day. A lot.
Notes: This was written for tattooeddevil at leveragexchange, who asked for Eliot and Moreau's backstory. Which was oh, so hard for me to write because it's not like I'm obsessed with that or anything (*looks shifty*).

Title: The Tangled Web Job
Authors: scout_lover and telaryn
Artist: alinaandalion
Beta(s): None but us
Disclaimer: Not mine, making no money. I write only from a sad, fannish devotion to the characters created by John Rogers, Chris Downey, Dean Devlin and the amazing writers of Leverage.
Characters/Pairings: Team, Damien Moreau, Director Conrad, Sterling, Nana, all canon pairings
Rating: PG-13 leaning over the fence and shaking hands with R
Genre: Gen, drama, angst, team!fic
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.



Author's Notes:

From scout_lover: Huge gushy thanks to telaryn for coming up with this story idea and asking me to co-write. I seriously could not have had a better writing partner, or one more understanding of my Damien-Eliot obsession. ;) And thanks also to alinaandalion for the gorgeous art and music that has taken over my iPhone.

From telaryn: It's all jesco0307’s fault.

Okay, I honestly don't remember who first proposed the idea of scout_lover and me co-writing a fic together, but here is the comment thread that ultimately gave birth to the tale you're about to read.

I'm still blaming jesco0307.

Getting to play in this particular sandbox with the woman who *owns* this particular type of Leverage fic has been such an amazing experience. Everything I lacked to do a story of this size and complexity justice she has in spades. We complemented each other perfectly - every time I got something back from her, it drove me to produce even better stuff.

And then came alinaandalion. Go here to see the beautiful artwork she did, and if you were drawn here because of a certain video - that bit of brilliance is all on her too.
