As readers of this LJ may have noticed, I've discovered Leverage andIlovethisshow♥. I love how these five messed up people found each other and formed a strangely functional family. And what I really like is - that annoying thing in fiction where the characters act stupidly even though they should know better, because that particular act of stupidity is required to advance the plot... those guys don't do that! They're smart, highly capable people, and the script allows them to act accordingly. Their plans don't always work out, but they can improvise, and they have contingency plans. That's such a turn on.( Read more... )
So, yeah. I have no idea if anyone on my flist actually reads in this fandom but I'm reccing anyway, you never know...

Wow, one of the best-cut vids I've seen. The timing is amazing... not just of the clips themselves, even beats within the clips. I want to watch this over and over.
Characters: Parker, Hardison, some Eliot. (My summary would be "Hardison and Parker, how are you so awesome?!")

I Lie, I Cheat, I Steal (and I Just Don't Get Any Respect) by fiercelydreamed (Leverage/White Collar)
gen-ish with a lot of subtext every which way; Characters: ensemble x 2; genre: hijinks, heist, humor; 6767 words
"All right," Nate says, and smacks his hands together. "Let's go steal a con artist."
Two ensembles, and no character gets short-changed when it comes to personality and characterization (well, I can only guess as to the WC characters as I haven't seen the show, but they feel no less three-dimensional than the Leverage gang.)

Being Sophie by Lear's Daughter
She's twenty-seven when she decides to become Sophie Devereaux. She's not sure exactly who this Sophie character is—at first she thinks she's blonde, so she dyes her hair, takes one look in the mirror, and decides otherwise—but she knows she's going to like her better than she likes the person she's been. 1,638 words
