Summary
The car trip home from Gillon, Louisiana
“Fine,” Eliot snaps, “but no more stops after this. I just wanna get home so I can finally sleep.”
“Just sleep in the car after we eat,” Parker says, “I’m driving, so you got nothing to worry about.” She smiles innocently.
“You driving is exactly why I gotta be worried, and you know I can never sleep in a moving car.”
“And the food-truck check-up 3 years ago when I drove the entire length of Nebraska while you lay with your eyes closed was what? Practicing your astral projection?”A small coda to the Shakedown in Clone-Town Job.

How the daughter of an undead spy became the back-up, back-up Sophie by MeanderingStream
Fandoms: Leverage, Burn Notice

Summary
From the time Charlie was 13, he heard many stories about his uncle, Michael Westen, and how he used to be a spy. Michael and Fiona's daughter, Claire, also grew up with those stories. Raised in that household, they learned tradecraft practically at their mother's knee, so it's no surprise that they want to go into the family business of taking on jobs to help people, even if sometimes the methods get a little outside the law.
Charlie prefers to do his work from behind the safety of a screen, and he becomes an expert hacker. He happens to make an online friend, who happens to be in a similar line of work, providing people with Leverage to help take down big companies that are screwing people over. Hardison and Charlie become friends, and then start helping each other with jobs.
One day, the leverage crew need an extra grifter, and Charlie suggests Claire. The meeting starts out well until Eliot gets suspicious that there's something off about the two, and he's determined to protect his family from the potential threat.

Summary
Josh and a sleeping Donna are driving home from a weekend getaway, when two hours of Christmas music, mixed with alone time with his thoughts, is catalyzed by passing ambulance sirens into a sudden panic attack. He hasn't had one in years, but he still remembers what it's like, and thankfully Donna is there to hold his hand through it.

Summary
Josh sees Donna on the primary's campaign trail and misses her desperately. She looks so much better than he had once feared she ever would again during those long hours in Germany.
And he knows he'd promised anything if only she’d live. Anything at all. And there she is: Alive. So maybe this is the price.

Summary
“For a man formidable and even equal to Yusef himself in battle, the frank sure seemed hopeless at everything else.
Again, habibi, really?”
ElephantOfAfrica pointed out that (paraphrased):
Habibi does indeed mean ‘My Love’ and grammatically it's being used correctly, but the reality of day to day life for Arabic speakers is a little bit different. It’s very, very casual and very versatile; it's not special. Some people use it when they're gearing up for a fight 😂 like "oh yeah Habibi?!" Fists up a-hole!!! Like it can mean babe, or honey, or you fucker, or are-you-trying-to-charge-me-extra-for-2-kilos-of-tomato?-fuck-you, or what-do-mean-your-mom-sent-us-dinner-again?-are-you-complaining-about-my-cooking-to-her? 👀👀 In general, there’s an incredibly passive aggressive energy it holds.
So this language plot-hole fixit got stuck in my head and wouldn’t leave. This is how Joe started calling Nicky “habibi,” and how the word became theirs.

Never Quite Buried by Ren_Saxon
Fandoms: Phandom/The Fantastic Foursome (Video Blogging RPF)

Summary
Dan gets outed on stage. It's like the world misses a beat, and no one but Phil got tripped up by it. It's Dan's boyfriend that does it, an idiot if Phil's ever seen one, some kind of actor who's buff and puts his foot in his mouth in ways that constantly border on offensive. He drops a careless comment about their relationship, and Phil watches Dan's entire world shatter in the way his face freezes.
He tries not to know him, he really does. Tries to look at the TV and see a stranger, see a tool to be entertained by, the way the rest of the world clearly does, but he can't. It jumps out at him in clear view, sharp HD, all the ways in which he knows Dan. The dimples on his face, the laughter lines under his eyes, etched there by Phil, the fight or flight reflex paralysing him.
A series of moments in Dan and Phil's life, leading them back together after breaking up.

Summary
Phil has known so many versions of Dan across time, and he has loved them all in their own ways.
But none of them was this one: his Dan, sprawled beside him in a Las Vegas hotel room two weeks after his twenty-first birthday, who is sharp and unsure and sometimes infuriating, who gives hickeys to his older self and then pretends it was nothing. This one, tonight, is the one Phil loves most of all.
A canon-inspired time-travel AU featuring secrets, yearning, self-hatred, self-love, a three-way in Vegas, and Phil Lester's unwavering belief in the red string of fate.

Summary
Phil Lester is the UK’s foremost millennial queer internet celebrity. He only has one problem: he’s terrible at dating. After another disastrous short term situationship turns into a PR nightmare, his management gives him an ultimatum: get a boyfriend he can stick with, or fake it till he makes it.
Daniel Howell is a plateaued West End performer; once destined for stardom, he can’t land a leading role in within the landscape of celebrity stunt casting. That is until his agent offers him the role of a lifetime: perform public boyfriend for Britain’s most eligible bachelor.
The contract is signed, the roles have been cast. The only question is, can the boys stick to their script, or will a whole lot of feelings get in the way of the perfect PR relationship?
