   Summary

   What's the story behind Parker's bunny? Do Nate and Sophie's date nights always end in crime? How did Eliot make a bad first impression on his future wife? This is a series of one shots and small groups of interconnected chapters born of my love for the original Leverage series and a list of one-word prompts that it has taken me almost ten years to complete. Most genres are present, and there's a strong emphasis on the characters as individuals that affect each other's lives. There are also a lot of glimpses of what I thought the team's lives might look like after the end of season 5. Not compliant with Redemption, simply because these head canons were developed LONG before the show was ever announced.
