Summary
Sam’s never brought anyone home to meet the family before. Maybe it was because he never met just the right person. Maybe it was because his family was made of con artists, bounty hunters and hustlers. But now that he’s head over heels in love with Victor Henriksen, he thinks it’s time. After all, his family loves him. And so does this FBI agent. What could possibly go wrong?

Olli and Jaska are poor conmen swindling through life together. One day, they’re gambling with the wrong folks who offer them a special map that leads to the mythical city of Lintukoto (Home of the Birds)

Lintukoto has a rich soil. But what most fortune seekers are really interested in, is Lintukoto’s rumoured Sampo: the magical artefact that brings gold and fortune to the holder of this artefact. -

Summary
'“Why do you have a gun?!”
“I’m an ex-con artist living in L.A. of course I have a fucking gun! Why don’t you have a gun?”
“Because I’m not a fucking psycho!” Shane gives him a look that suggests he feels that’s debatable. “And I don’t wanna kill anyone!”
“Neither do I!” Shane glances apprehensively at the door “But it might be handy to shoot someone in the foot so they don’t shoot me in the head! Now. How. Many.”'They were partners in more than just crime once. A bad print job and a forged Degas later and Ryan has nowhere to turn but to the one man he swore he'd never see again, the man made all the more dangerous for the fact he had loved him once.

Summary
❛ Man is not what he thinks he is. He is what he hides. ❜
― André Malraux
VOLUME ONE of my Eli Loker series
There are 3 fics in this series, all featuring Deception Detection Analyst ELI LOKER. This first fic takes place about two months after the Season 1 finale of Lie To Me and serves as an alternative to Season 2. This is a slow-build romance surrounded by criminal conspiracies and cons, lies and love, friendship and drama, as well as queer characters and side relationships. The plot of this fic is rather light and focuses on interpersonal themes. This is the shortest and most tame of all three fics, but you can expect coarse language / minor violence / sexual content as tagged.

Summary
While Tyrone and Tandy are figuring themselves out in Earth-616, Earth-615 doesn't have the same time constraints.
Or even the same Divine Pairing.Tyra Johnson and Tanner Bowen come from dramatically different backgrounds but both share a secret that they can never share with another soul.
Once a priveleged boy, Tanner was powerless to stop a company accident from tearing his family apart. Now eight years older and world-weary, he's a conman with a silver tongue and a dangerous habit.
Young Tyra had only ever wanted to be brave - just like her older brother, Billy but when a terrible incident tears her family apart and leaves her beliefs shaken, she learns that the world doesn't favor the brave. Closing herself off from the world, she doesn't expect much from Tanner and Tanner doesn't expect much from her.
But they're all they (and the rest of New Orleans) have. -
