Fic recs! Just a few for now, because I should get to work. (Past midnight... yeah, my work ethics, still MIA, apparently).

Fullmetal Alchemist fic rec: Act Naturally by [livejournal.com profile] likeadeuce
gen; PG; mangaverse post-canon; humor, Roy + ensemble; 764 words
Summary: Roy's newfound fame had less to do with his actual heroism than with an inexplicably popular series of films.
This made me cackle madly.

Leverage fic recs:
(I'm starting with crossover fic in a somewhat transparent attempt to draw in my friends list. (No seriously though, check out this shooow.))
Five times the Leverage Crew was not in Gotham, no, really, they weren't, no by [archiveofourown.org profile] noelia_g
gen; team; humor; 1453 words
Summary: And then Hardison clicks to the next slide. "Of course, now the company had been bought by the Wayne Enterprises," he says slowly and pointedly, and all the others suddenly sit up, the focus of their attention shifting and narrowing.
"No," Sophie says. Eliot nods once, sharply, and Parker does a rather good impression of one of those boggling-head-dolls, agreeing completely.


I can't even pick a favorite part of this fic because every bit is just perfect and in character, and makes great use of both 'verses.

Five Holidays the Leverage Crew Celebrated Together by [livejournal.com profile] severuslovesme
gen-ish with some Nate/Sophie; PG; vague spoilers for 3x16; ~3,000 words
Summary: In which Parker likes parties, Eliot is confused, and Hardison, Sophie and Nate just go with it.
Team! :o)

A place for us by [livejournal.com profile] cata_clysmiic
Sophie/Nate; pg-13; Spoilers for all 3 seasons; UST/romance; 2,700 words
Summary: “I’m flattered.” Those dark eyes are sparkling in the Syrian moonlight, and her sharp mind is reeling, lightning-quick. “Well, Nathan Ford.” She takes her time saying his name. Each syllable makes his heart beat faster. One stiletto heel is already taking a step backward. “You’ll have to catch me first.”

I'm a total sucker for this pairing and their delightfully complicated, messed-up relationship, and this fic feels true to both characters. Snapshots through ten years of Nate and Sophie's international cat-and-mouse game.

Data Quality Management by [archiveofourown.org profile] jedibuttercup
gen; G; Hardison; 501 words
Summary: "Can I? Can I? Who do you think you're talking to?"

Short, but top-notch Hardison voice!

Now I'm gonna do that work thing...
