Rec of the day

This is technically WIP but the story is already written & now being edited. It has been updated every couple days so far, and I find that I almost appreciate reading it in installments because, well, that way I have a new chapter to look forward to every couple days. There's something to be said for delayed gratification.
And the story is really excellent; so is the writing style. Set sometime past San Lorenzo Job, slightly AU since it has been jossed in a few points but that doesn't hurt the story at all.

The Father's Son Job by yeahlev (Leverage)
Gen so far, with some Nate/Sophie and Hardison/Parker UST; some violence; word count: 19,412
Summary: Nate goes to Ireland on family business and runs into trouble. Good thing the rest of the gang followed him. Teamfic! Complete with full-blown con, vengeful marks, banter, canon relationships and general Leverage-y goodness.
