    Summary

    Kakashi has grown up knowing the agony that is the ability to see the dead. When Rin introduces him (rather insistently) to a tiny, brightly colored child who has the same curse, he decides to help her.

    Now, if only he could stop hallucinating about Obito. And also get the Nidaime to stop giving him that judgmental look whenever he makes breakfast for Sakura.

    Summary

    "Okay, so we are never doing a con like that again," Quinn said, after a successful artifact retrieval.

    The job had involved a three-week con with Quinn playing a mysterious crime boss and Eliot playing his violent enforcer.

    "You don't think I played the role well?" Eliot asked. The job had gone off without a hitch and he, for one, thought they had both played their roles perfectly.

    It was an easy space to slip into. It reminded him of how simple things were back in the military and the PMCs, where he could let someone else call all the shots. All he had to do was unleash his violence as directed and trust whoever was directing to take care of everything else.

    Of course, with the PMCs, well. He'd learned the hard way never to trust himself to a corporation, no matter what patriotic values they may have been founded on.

    With Quinn, though. Quinn had played the boss flawlessly--the man with a plan, to whom you could trust every aspect of your being.

    "No, you were perfect," Quinn said. He paused, then added, "It was terrifying."

    ***

    (AU where Eliot encountered Quinn fresh out of his PMCs, and they'd been working together on and off for years when Team Leverage called Quinn in.)
