Parker vs the World or The Silly Bandz Job by serenelystrange (Leverage)
gen; casefic; team; 9,740 words
Warnings (contains spoilers, highlight to read): non-con/deals with child prostitution. Nothing graphic is shown onscreen but it is heavily implied.
Summary: Parker is convinced that those crazy shaped rubber bracelets are actually being used to brainwash children at a local school. The team, mostly due to Sophie's encouragement, investigate.
Good plotfic, if deceptive, in that it starts off as the lighthearted romp the title suggests and then takes a definite turn for the serious. Not an easy thing to pull off without giving the reader whiplash but I think the way the story becomes gradually darker actually works. (I believe the story is mislabeled, though.)
