Fic Update Thread: 56th edition

[Mamorien]

After several yonks, Let's Go Steal a Protégé (post-canon Leverage OC) rises from its grave to rescue Athena from Neff for Chapter 27: The one with the Leverage International Chat Server.

And okay, (Jamie) may have pulled the tiniest little baby con on their own just once, but it was really more ‘get Sophie to make some phone calls and show up as tech support and steal back a lady’s job after her job tried to ban her mobility aid and then fire her when she didn’t fold’. You know. Basic stuff. Get in, get the evidence, get out. They thought they got away with it, even pulling Sophie up on video call so she could Enjoy The Gloat while the boss got hit with a team of OSHA inspectors.

But then when they looked up, they spotted Eliot, Parker, and Hardison across the street, Gloating as well, though more because they caught Jamie than because of the con. The drive back was half lecture (‘How could you be so reckless? No, having Sophie as backup doesn’t count, Nate and Sophie are in Australia right now!’) and half celebratory (‘You hacked what safe in ten minutes? That’s a new record for you!’). They weren’t sure if the chilli Eliot made them was celebratory or not, but it tasted damn good.
