Title: The Trials and Tribulations of Eliot Spencer, Father
Characters: Leverage Team, Faith Lehane, Quinn, OFC
Pairings: Canon Relationships plus Faith/Eliot
Rating: PG
Word Count: 2038
Summary: Fatherhood was the last thing on Eliot's mind when eighteen year old Hayley Matthews brought him proof of their biological relationship. He's risen to the occasion admirably - working continuously to balance giving his daughter a stable home life and letting her be herself.

There are problems though - like the fact that Hayley wants to follow him into the family business.

And she doesn't want to be a hitter.

( Over-protective father? Not a good look on you. )

Title: A Life's Work (From Generation to Generation)
Characters: Leverage Team, Faith Lehane, OMC, OFC, Olivia Sterling
Pairings: Canon Relationships plus Faith/Eliot
Rating: G
Word Count: 4484
Summary: Olivia Sterling is a force to be reckoned with in cyber-security. Being her father's daughter, she won't rest until she sits at the top of her profession - and she knows just the backs to step on in order to get there.
Author's Note: This is another tale set in the "Leverage v2.0" universe created by myself and tanghali. The new characters are all pretty self-explanatory. I hope you enjoy the story melpomenethemis - it's pretty obviously crafted with you in mind.

(on that note, thanks for the consult from CatKing_CatKin to make my work more realistic!)

( Game on, Mr. Ford. Game fucking on. )

Title: Welcome to the Family
Characters: Leverage Team, Faith Lehane, OMC
Pairings: Canon Relationships plus Faith/Eliot
Rating: G
Word Count: 2050
Summary: Parker and Hardison have unexpectedly become parents, and the prospect is freaking Hardison out.
Author's Notes: There is a bit of a history here. Tanghali and I were paired up during a Leverageland challenge and tasked with creating a "Leverage v2.0" (aka Leverage, the Next Generation). I really enjoyed the world we created, and always intended to come back there.

So my dear friend - here is the tale of how Nate and Sophie met one Bryce Parker-Hardison, and how Bryce charmed a mastermind into accepting him as a member of the family. Thank you for playing with us!

( No matter how much Hardison and Parker might want to give him a home and something with a passing resemblance to a family of his own, if Nate said ‘no’ Bryce would leave. )

A Ties That Bind Job Fic

This fic is part of The Ties That Bind Verse.

( Do you think he's telling the truth? )

Clint/Coulson 2014 Holiday Exchaange

2015-01-15T02:31:20Z

A Gift From: telaryn
Type Of Gift: Fic
Title: A Life Worth More Than Everything
A Gift For: lillyjk
Rating: NC-17
Warnings:
Summary/Prompt Used: Sexual relationships between handlers and their specialists aren't unheard of in SHIELD - as long as it doesn't affect the work, the brass views it as "don't ask, don't tell" situation.

Clint Barton has needs. And issues, but mostly needs. Lucky for him his handler has needs too - needs that dovetail nicely with his. That isn't the problem. The problem is work, which also involves the prying eyes and gossipy tongues of fellow agents. And alien tech. And actual Nazis.

When put up against all that, his lover's death and the fact that Clint wouldn't recognize his own self-esteem if it danced naked in front of him wearing a neon name tag seems fairly inconsequential.

( He knew a flash of insane hope that Coulson appreciated his self-control in not making a suicidally inappropriate smart-ass remark to seal his fate for the evening. )

Be Compromised Secret Santa 2014

2015-01-15T01:18:18Z

A Gift From: telaryn
Type Of Gift: Fic
Title: Keep Her In the Air (When She Ought To Fall Down)
A Gift For: eiluned
Rating: NC-17
Warnings:
Summary/Prompt Used: Believe it or not, babyfic collided in my brain with the idea of a Firefly AU. Angst with a happy ending played a part as well because...it's me.

Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff were born - and in Natasha's case bred - to serve the Alliance. No one cared when they began sleeping together; under Alliance law an Operative like Natasha could take as many sexual partners as she liked so long as it didn't interfere with her duties.

A baby would interfere. As would the very deep and very illegal feelings growing between the Operative and her favorite sniper.

Now married and on the run for a new life on the Rim, with a baby due literally any moment, Clint and Natasha cross paths with the crew of Serenity.

Author's Note: Stepped a little far outside my comfort zone with this one, but when a story idea hits you as hard as this one hit me you just have to respect the muse and run with it. Hope it's everything you wanted, eiluned!

( Next time I make the plan. )

And then there ended up not being enough entries for voting to take place. *facepalm*

2013 Reverse Big Bang Fic Master Post: "The Eyes of Heaven"

2014-03-11T01:18:11Z

Title: The Eyes of Heaven
Author: telaryn
Beta(s): Um...
Disclaimer If I could have made a profit on this I would have sold out weeks ago.
Characters/Pairings: SPN/Leverage crossover. All canon characters, just some of them with a little extra twist.
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Gen
Warnings/spoilers: Ostensibly spoilers through The Maltese Falcon Job
Word Count: ~11K
Summary: The death of his son is only the beginning. Nathan Ford has a major role to play on the cosmic stage - but fortunately a few very special souls are willing to stick around and make sure he finds his way.
Author's Notes: Huge thanks to weaselett and just_ruth for their patience in not only putting up with me, but in Ruth's case producing an extra piece of art to make the story that much more special. I hope I did your work justice, Ruth.

( As bad as things were in this moment, Parker couldn’t shake the feeling that they were about to get much, much worse. )

2013 Reverse Big Bang Fic Master Post: "Days of Past Returning"

2014-02-27T05:41:16Z

Title: Days of Past Returning
Author: telaryn
Beta(s): Um...
Disclaimer If I could have made a profit on this I would have sold out weeks ago.
Characters/Pairings: All canon characters. Once again, the nod for Chapman's first name belongs to scout_lover
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Gen/Case-Fic
Warnings/spoilers: Ostensibly spoilers through The San Lorenzo Job
Word Count: ~15K
Summary: Two men entered Damien Moreau's private pool that day in Washington. How differently would things have gone for the team if only Hardison had walked out?
Author's Notes: First of all, thanks to weaselett and acquariusgb for their patience in putting up with what proved to be a very long stretch of my life blowing up on me.

Y'all need to watch the video acquariusgb produced - like all her artwork it's brilliant. It also conveys what ended up being the heart of the story, that when you find where you really belong in this life you move heaven and earth to stay there.

Mod Gift for Mizzy2K - Leverage Secret Santa Exchange 2013

Title: A Perfect Tragedy
Author: telaryn
Mod gift for: mizzy2k
Rating: NC-17
Characters/Pairing: Teen Wolf/Leverage Crossover; Nate Ford/Peter Hale
Word Count: 3842
Spoilers: None.
Warnings: None.
Disclaimer: Only own the effort involved.
Summary: Pre-series. As Sam's health takes its final turn, Nate is offered a deal by a friend that is definitely more than it seems.
Author's Note: I know I said I probably wasn't ever going to write Teen Wolf fic, but how was I going to pass up the chance to explore Nate and Peter together - especially when it was for you? Oh, and I acknowledge that I'm making a few (hopefully) logical leaps about an Alpha's ability to affect a human's memories.

( He’d begged his friend to remind him somehow that he hadn’t died under the weight of Sam’s illness, and now he was left wondering if Peter was going to kill him with that promise. )

( ...there was no reason to give Peter another excuse to launch into a discussion of Derek’s lycanthropic shortcomings. )
