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

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.

Summary
Ever since Phil turned eighteen, he’s had to live with the family curse: he remains human by night, but must live as a bird during the day – in Phil’s case, a pigeon. And only “true love’s kiss,” whatever that means, will break that curse.
Dan, living alone in London and struggling with his mental health, likes to take walks at the park to clear his mind. At first, he starts to hear giggles and footsteps, and wonders if he’s really losing it. But one night, he meets a man at the park, a man who maybe he could rescue, or maybe it’s the other way around.
A much needed Swan Lake AU.

Summary
Phil sighs, and does what every sensible person would do, after being abandoned by their partner of thirteen years because it’s “the best for him”.
He opens Grindr.
He finds some buff guy named Hank who put in a selfie in a fitness studio, posing in front of a mirror to show off sweaty biceps. His bio says “I don’t do that pronoun shit, I do protein”, and Phil knows he’s perfect.
Dan breaks up with Phil. Phil decides to try and get him back the unconventional, yet effective route (Rage-Baiting).
