Title:  The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most
Author:  alinaandalion
Rating:  M/NC-17
Spoilers:  Through the end of Season 3.
Characters:  Nate, Sophie, Eliot, Hardison, Parker, Maggie, and Tara.  And some various minor original characters.
Pairings:  Nate/Sophie, Parker/Hardison, Sophie/Tara, and mentions of past Nate/Maggie and Eliot/Aimee
Summary:  The team takes on a job that leads to double-crosses and choices they never expected. They all find out you never leave the past behind and it can change the present.
Notes:  This is a nonlinear story.  I've laid out the basic premise of the con in the first chapter and will give all vital information as the story progresses.  This was originally intended for this year's Leverage Big Bang, but my muse decided to take a six month long vacation, so that didn't work out.  I liked the idea too much to let it go, so here it is.  As a warning, there is explicit language and sexual themes.

Chapter One:  do you laugh in the face of danger?
Chapter Two:  and darkness is real
Chapter Three:  tell me, do you dream?

( She pressed a soft kiss to his cheek and walked away. He stayed at the table, listening as she moved around upstairs. Her perfume lingered in the air around him, and he breathed it in. )

Characters:  Nate and Sophie
Pairings:  Mentions of past Nate/Sophie
Summary:  Nate wishes he could change things, but they're always the same.  And, the sad thing is that she'll never know about what could have been.
Warnings:  De-aged Sophie, in answer to a prompt I received.

 

( Nate hates and loves watching her. She is so beautiful and captivating. Prepossessing, all at the age of seven. He can’t separate the love he used to feel for the woman and the girl she is now. )
