A series of related one-shots about the adventures of the Avengers in the Firefly 'verse.

  4. Summary

    This is a collection of self-indulgent fragments from a sleep-deprived brain, because headcanon and crossovers are really the healthiest things to be overthinking at 4 am.
    That said, if anyone wants to take anything that appears here and run with it, just make sure to let me know so I can read it.

    Summary

    The Leverage: Redemption team are hired to investigate Merrick Pharmaceuticals following a suspicious death in South Sudan. They embark on a con, infiltrate Merrick’s HQ… and find some unexpected prisoners in his research lab.

    Based on this Tumblr prompt from ChimaeraKitten:

    There are at least 31 leverage/the old guard crossovers on AO3 and yet I’m pretty sure none of them have gone the objectively funniest route wherein the third act of TOG goes entirely off the rails because Parker Hardison and Eliot were halfway through scamming Merrick and happen to have already been in the building when Andy gets dragged in

    Leverage fans: this is a Leverage case fic where the mark just happens to be the big-pharma bad guy from The Old Guard. You don't need to have watched The Old Guard.

    TOG fans: this is an outsider-POV, canon-divergent AU where there's a scam in progress at Merrick Pharmaceuticals when the Old Guard team are captured. It'll make more sense if you've watched Leverage!

    Summary

    Gotham loses its Robin and Bruce Wayne loses a son. Tim finds one of these too tragic to bear. In his quest to make sure Bruce Wayne lives to see the next year, he strikes upon the perfect solution: another son.

    *

    His best bet is, naturally, Crime Alley.

    By 8 pm that day, Drake Manor is filled with ten black-haired, blue-eyed boys sitting around the large dining table, looking around the room suspiciously.

    Well. Eleven. But Tim doesn’t think he counts.

    Summary

    When kids in the Slytherin Common Room tossed jeers at the pudgy feet of Millicent Bulstrode, Harry rose up to do something about it. This Harry, now one of Snape’s own, got fewer House points lost but many more detentions– it had never been the colors on his hem that Severus hated.

    This was not wishing Harry an easy path. This was not wishing the boy a warm House. This was Harry, three weeks in, sleep deprived and considering running away and going back to Privet Drive. This was Harry in the back of Potions class, blank-faced under Snape’s disdain the way he’d perfected under the Dursleys’s torments.

    When Quirrell shouted “troll in the dungeons, thought you ought to know,” and Harry overheard that there was a girl in the bathroom crying, he still ran off to make sure she got out okay. He hesitated first, at the back of the little pack of Slytherin first years (at the back so that no one could get behind him)– he hesitated.

    And Millicent Bulstrode, who could never quite keep her tummy tucked in enough, could never brush all the cat hair off her robes, never quite keep her temper in check, hesitated, too.
