This story starts, as many of the greatest stories in history do, with a talking frog. You could argue that it starts sometime before that, with a vampire that's been turned into a puppet. According to Eliot, the word again should be tagged onto the end of that sentence. Or you could argue that it starts with that said puppet walking into a bar.

Parker and Hardison pretend to be married for a job.

The rich and powerful Capitol takes what it wants. To survive the Hunger Games, you need ... leverage. May the odds be ever in your favor. Now complete!

Eliot found a way to make his style work at Dalton Academy. It just worked a little too well.

"This is one fast and totally addicting recipe. It's easy to adjust to your tastes or what's in your cupboard - try adding chocolate chips, coconut, raisins, cherries or a spoonful of peanut butter. You'll be making this every week."

"We have the technology. We have the capability... Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster." Notes: Hardison's story, companion to The Empath. Thanks to [info]hannasus for the beta.

"One should always look for any possible alternative to the exercise of destructive magic, for to be forced into the position of having to use it is a position of weakness." Notes: Takes place before The Empath and We Can Rebuild Him.

Leverage, OT3, five times Nate (or Sophie) thought that Hardison, Eliot and Parker were sleeping together, and one time that they actually were.

Leverage, Eliot + team, Eliot confesses to the team that he's an undercover federal agent

Author's choice; author's choice; "It was sex pollen, I swear!"

The problem with being one of the good guys now is that when Eliot sees a gun being waved around, he feels like he needs to step in. Neal is suitably grateful.

Smutty, kinky, threesome slash.

“I want to make Naruto my heir,” Kakashi said bluntly.

Fighting crime and wanton hero-on-hero violence is far safer for the world at large than the Avengers bored.

Steve has an apology to make.

When they first told Clint, he had no reaction other than a soft 'Oh,' and a quiet nod. My fix-fic for the movie. Obviously, large and detailed spoilers are contained.

His power's running low, the arc reactor flickering. Cold, rancid sewer water is rushing into the fissure at his torn up shoulder, filling up the gaps, rising along his neck in frigid fingers. He's been like this before.

"I'm sure we'll make a lovely couple," Clint said, and forced a smile. "Honey."

Look, some mornings you wake up and little green men are invading New York City; some mornings you wake up and you can hear Captain America's voice in your head. Tony has been an Avenger long enough that he saves his freakout for important things.

Tony has a point system for the times he can get Steve to be less than perfect.

The hi-jinks of The Avengers, their significant others, friends, and SHIELD agents.

"Do you think this is still a training exercise, or did we just get our asses handed to us by actual bad guys?" asked Clint. Tony, Steve, Clint and Bruce spend quality time together in a cave. Tony does not build another arc reactor (even if he sort of needs one). Steve is all Protective Leader. Clint is terrifyingly good with a knife. Bruce bleeds and snarks. There is banter and embarassing amounts of schmoop and the boys get very touchy-feely.

Steve Rogers is always the groomsman and never the groom. Tony Stark hates feelings and ancient alien prophecies. Or, five weddings Captain America attended, and one he crashed. Not necessarily in that order.

Bucky wakes up. Tony takes a liking to him. Steve frowns a lot. Also, there is some Avenging going on. And tech porn.

Steve dares to stick his head into the workshop on a Tuesday which had so far been filled only with paperwork, and as soon as he actually comprehends what he's seeing, he kind of just wants to forget the filing and the G-33 forms and just stay down there forever.

The first time Bruce hulks out in the lab, it isn't Tony's fault, but fucked if he's going to let that stop him.

A tiny prompt ficlet. Tony cannot, for the life of him, make a decent piece of toast. Bruce ... finds this far more amusing than he should

Steve closes his eyes in 1945 and wakes up in 2012. Well. They certainly didn’t put that on the recruiting poster. [Companion to The Minor Fall, the Major Lift.]

This is how they piece it together and make it work.

In which everybody loses their powers, Tony goes a little bit crazy, Natalie: Super PA! makes a reappearance, Clint shows off his super ninja spy skills, Thor fucks off back to Asgard, Steve is a tactical genius, Coulson not-so-secretly loves terrible television shows, nobody should ever be allowed to name anything ever, and there is an evil magical cult.

He never did forgive Nick Fury for bloodying up his trading cards. Not during that first week, anyway.

There’s a small child in Tony Stark’s lab. Tony looks at it. It looks at him.

I've seen some great girl!Stiles fic, but I'm really curious to see some girl!Derek fic. Can be gen or Derek/Stiles (and if anon wants to make Stiles a girl, too, I wouldn't complain...)

Avengers at the State Fair: “What is Thor eating?” James asked. “Walking taco. With … ice cream.” "How many tickets did Coulson give him?” "Too many.”

"What, you don't roll around with all your clothes on when you're having sex?" Darren asks, and Chris snorts into his shoulder. "Because that's, like, the only way I'll do it. Either roll or go home."

How to corrupt a superhero without really trying.

For maybe the first time he doesn't feel oversized – or he does, but suddenly something's clicked over and it turns him on, seeing and feeling the mass and strength of his body as he pounds Tony Stark against a wall in a basement.

“Thor, I submit,” Steve repeated, his voice cracking midway through. “I know.” Steve froze, and they locked eyes for a moment, Thor’s gaze predatory. For a second, neither moved, Thor’s body a warm weight on Steve’s, and then, ever so slowly, Thor leaned forward the rest of the way and pressed his lips to Steve.

Stark – Tony – looks over at him and smiles, and there's something so sweet in that smile that Steve feels sucker-punched, feels like he can't breathe, he can't think, because who knew that Tony Stark could smile like that, open and amused and affectionate? “Yeah?” Tony says, teasing, and Natasha cuffs the back of his head.

Prompt: Loki is finally captured and sent to Asgard to await his judgement. Since Thor cannot leave Earth -invoke reason x- all the Avengers go to Asgard to make sure Loki doesn't escape. They think Loki is going to end in some Asgardian version of a cell but instead Odin decides on some horrible punishment -fastening a venomous snake over Loki's face, sealing Loki's lips shut, etc- and they are horrified. Tony refuses to let Loki go and basically yells at Odin for being the worst possible father. Cue Loki being confused about why they would defend him and the Avengers realizing how fucked up his childhood might have been.

Tony was pretty sure nothing like this had ever happened to him before.

On the plus side, marriage is bound to be easier than proposing.

Or, how Steve Rogers--kind of--learns to dance.

Clint sees everything, no matter the situation, no matter how many naked bodies there may be to distract him.

After the fighting is over, then come the hot baths, ice packs, resurrection from the dead, political maneuvering, and happy endings (not like that, Tony).

Millionaire playboy Tony Stark needs horse riding lessons. His two instructors are more than willing to give him other lessons, too.

There’s a plan already forming in the back of Tony’s mind and he knows it’s teasing, but it’s not an opportunity he can willingly pass up. Sequel to Fuck Me Heels. Enjoy guys!

Tony finds the heels in the back of his closet, hidden away in a white, pristine box. And then he gets ideas.

In which the Avengers Tower is rebuilt, Tony attempts matchmaking, Natasha is scary, and Pepper may have ulterior motives. Also, there is Asgardian mead, which might be a problem.
