Rec of the day
Pursuit by wontquitmydayjob, part 3&4 (Leverage)
gen with N/S UST; pre-canon; 10,839 words all parts
I already mentioned this series but I thought these latest two parts deserve their own rec, since each part works as a self-contained fic, with a different theme and plot:
Chapter 3: Paris
"A Degas sculpture is stolen while you're in Paris? A bit too much of a coincidence."
"I love Paris. I spend a lot of time in Paris. Not every crime committed in Paris when I happen to be here can be attributed to me…though, to be fair, quite a few of them can."
I love how the story gets across the ease with which the two relate to each other and the pleasure they take in each other's company (while never losing sight of that cat-and-mouse game of theirs).
Chapter 4: London
Donovan gave him a shrewd look. "Be careful, son, she seduces people for a living. The whole point is to make you feel like you're different from all the others, but that's how she gets what she wants."
The backstory for Sophie that the writer imagined feels totally plausible. If the show ever tells that part of her background - I kinda hope it won't as I love the mystery, but if it does I wouldn't be surprised if it went something like this.
Leverage fic and vid recs - main post
I'm perusing everybody's yuletide recs with much interest! Keep'em coming, flist! That festival is just too huge to wander in without map and guide. I'll have a few of my own soon.
