    Summary

    "It is done," Xenk says. He holds up his own right hand to demonstrate, displaying the golden light that is already sinking into his gauntlet and disappearing beneath. "We are bound, you and I, until the magic is dispelled."

    "What the fuck," Edgin whispers. He scrabbles at his sleeve, yanking it up to examine the faintly-glowing runes that have encircled his wrist. "What the fuck? What do you mean, bound?"

    Sent by the High Harpers to retrieve a criminal to aid in a desperate mission, and authorized to use binding magic to ensure his cooperation, Xenk comes to understand and long for the former Harper agent Edgin Darvis during the tenday they spend in Icewind Dale, surrounded on all sides by ice, and cold, and endless lonely nothingness.

    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

    “No, no, this is different,” Lucius said. “Look, he got stabbed, right? He nearly died. When I went in to check on him he was lying in bed half dressed and Blackbeard was sitting next to him staring at his chest.”

    “He probably just knows a lot about medicine,” Pete said.

    “What, tit medicine?” Lucius asked. He could hear the edge of hysteria in his voice.

    “No, like, he was looking for signs of infection by counting Captain’s breaths,” Pete said. “Or something.”

    “That is not a thing,” Roach said.

    Lucius thinks there's something going on between Blackbeard and Captain Bonnet. The rest of the crew think that he's lost his mind.
