The Crossover Job by [archiveofourown.org profile] scrunchy (Leverage/Sherlock BBC)
Sophie Devereaux/Gregory Lestrade; PG-13; set in the second half of Leverage Season 2; 7472 words

Excellent crossover. I'm not even familiar with BBC's Sherlock but that didn't hamper my enjoyment of this fic in the least. And, well, I tend to ship Sophie with Nate almost exclusively, didn't know anything about Lestrade other than that he's police, and started this fic mainly because it came recced and has Sophie in a leading role. But I ended up loving her relationship with Lestrade here. It's wonderfully written; these two have great chemistry together and it's intriguing to see her through his POV... it doesn't quite read like your regular outsider POV, and yet it's still a fresh angle. I also like the way their common history is revealed in bits and pieces, adding another facet to Sophie's character.
