Summary
There are few things as unsettling as attending an underground magic show and seeing your own face staring back at you from the stage.
It's a niche situation, Charlie will admit. Most people don't go to underground magic shows at all. New York has a higher population of people willing to go to an abandoned warehouse on the word of some online rumors and some stickers on telephone poles, sure, but it's still not a normal activity. If people go to one at all, it's usually to one of the mainstream performers, the ones who have their own stages and shows, or they're on a cruise ship or corporate event and have nothing better to do. The last time he saw a show like this, packed to the gills with people vying for space, voices layered over each other as they whisper in anticipation, he was the headlining performer.
Technically, he's still the headlining performer tonight. It's just that no one bothered to tell him that.
...
Charlie Vanderberg, the former leader of the legendary Furies, attends a magic show, finds some horrible children, and promptly gets attached.

...
The first time each of Dylan's kids call him "Dad," from youngest to oldest.

Summary
It's perfect. Everything's perfect.
It's just that—
Something just feels off.
...
Jack Wilder has a perfect, simple, ordinary life, indistinguishable from that of tens of thousands of other college students in New York City. He has a doting father figure that's raised him since his parents died and neighbors and friends that he has weekly dinners with on the rooftop of their building in the Lower East Side. He's got good grades, a bright future, and he's never known anything but safety and warmth. Everything is good. Everything is fine.
He's just increasingly sure that none of it is real--and he's right.

Summary
"Nice performance," he calls, watching those dark eyes widen just a fraction before he turns to face him. "Classic. How big was your score tonight?"
He watches Jack look him up and down, no doubt noting the lack of a weapon and the shadows under his eyes and every other sign that he's falling apart, and the tension in his shoulders eases just a fraction. He braces his forearms on the ropes, the corner of his mouth twisting up into a smug smile. "My biggest fan," he drawls, that Brooklyn accent warm and real. One of the only things about him that's real, Daniel reminds himself sternly. He might know him better than anyone else in the world, but he's still a con artist. He doesn't even know if that's his real name. "I'm an honest, law-abiding civilian now, Danny. Promise."
Daniel pauses for a moment before saying, "I'm not."
...
J. Daniel Atlas recruits the conman he needs to get back at Arthur Tressler, and displays his mastery of the art of suppressing his feelings.
OR: A snapshot of a J. Daniel Atlas and Jack Wilder-centric Leverage AU, featuring Daniel as Nate and Jack as Sophie.

Summary
Charlie just feels—foggy. Slow. The world feels slow, like he's swimming through molasses, and his brain is racing on ahead and leaving him behind. Moving feels like a monumental task, his fingers melting into the handle of the coffeepot until he can barely tell them apart. He blinks, and the world fades in and out, rippling and twisting slowly like he's caught in a funhouse mirror. A magic mirror, he thinks dazedly, and he shuffles forward a step, wincing as his coffee-soaked socks squelch.
Maybe he is in a magic mirror. Maybe he never left the chateau. Maybe he got shot instead of Thaddeus when Veronika sent the police after them, and everything that's happened since has been nothing but a beautiful dream meant to sing him to sleep.
Maybe he didn't get a man killed for the sake of his own revenge.
...
Charlie won't let himself sleep until he's sure that the Horsemen are safe--from everything, everywhere, all the time. Henley provides some perspective (and a solution).

Summary
“Here’s the deal,” Atlas says, voice clipped and short, stuffing his wallet back into a pocket to let an off-white envelope appear in his palm. “You’ve been robbing people at my show — it’s bad for my reputation. Frankly, I shouldn’t even be talking to you, and the only reason that I am is because I know telling you to stop would only make you double down and do it even more.”
“You don’t know that,” Bosco says determinedly, and Charlie can’t stop the grin on his face as he turns to look at him. Bosco’s always contrarian solely for the sake of it, determined to disagree only because he can, and it would appear that not even meeting one of their biggest idols could stop him. “We could totally still be rational people.”
“You pick pockets at pop-up magic shows,” Atlas says derisively, “you’re not rational people in the slightest. I know you’re getting a pretty good score, and me asking you to stop while offering no incentive is practically useless. So, here — I’m paying you to quit robbing my audience. Now, begone.”
—
After the Horsemen break up, J. Daniel Atlas isn't doing very well — until three kids keep robbing his audience. Somehow, they grow on him.

Summary
Do they know? Does Atlas? He has to, at least somewhat. He had the audacity to talk like he knew her when they first met, when he brought up the 'boarding schools'. She wasn't June Roquelaure back then; he knew who she used to be.
She had been June McClure, from New Orleans.
An exploration of how June met Charlie and Bosco, got to New York, had her life changed by strangers, yelled at the Horsemen, escaped an abusive boarding school, and robbed a mall. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
Bosco LeRoy is having a monumentally shitty day.
First, he wakes up late, which wasn’t a problem when it was just him, Charlie, and June, but it’s not just them anymore, it’s them and the Horsemen. The goddamn Horsemen. He might’ve put on a show of nonchalance when Atlas first appeared in their hideout, but holy shit was it hard to keep a lid on it. He’s been idolizing J. Daniel Atlas since middle school, and there he was right in front of him, offering them not only a job but a chance to do something beyond swindling egotistical crypto bros and finance jerks. The last thing he wanted to do was to come off as an overzealous kid having bitten off more than he could chew, and now that he’s been welcomed into the Eye’s ranks that pressure has increased tenfold. So, waking up late? Out of the question. He would not have Atlas or Dylan or any of the other Horsemen thinking he wasn’t taking this opportunity seriously.

Summary
He's a sellout in a stupid suit, doing shows for rich idiots on a cruise ship. Jack used to be cool; he used to be kind of like her, stealing from tourists to survive before becoming a part of something bigger. Now, he looks like he's going to start telling her to stay in school and don't do drugs.
Or, June slowly accepts that Jack is actually pretty chill. Also, she has an inexplicable urge to beat his ass. She's pretty sure this is what it feels like to have an older brother.

Summary
The streets of Bastion City are rife with crime. But amidst the hierarchy of thieves, one name still manages to reign supreme: the Captain, a one-eyed criminal with a penchant for stealing expensive, if not occasionally pragmatic, items. From valuable jewellery to fancy arcano-tech, he’s swiped it all.
Gorgug knows his best friend, Riz, has been pursuing the Captain for a while, calling him his archrival.
Gorgug just… didn’t expect to run into the thief himself first.
(Or: 5 times Gorgug ran into the Captain, infamous thief of Bastion City, and the 1 time Riz finally did.)
