    Summary

    “I was wondering when you’d get here,” Alec says, setting his laptop case down by the door and making his way into the kitchen with the paper bag of groceries. On the couch in the living room, Eliot unfolds gracefully out of his boneless sprawl. He’s a little slower about it these days, a little more careful with how he moves, how he treats his body, but it probably wouldn’t be obvious to anybody who doesn’t know him as well as they do.

    Summary

    She’s standing in his kitchen, now. Alone. The heart of his house, like food is the heart of him. She’s standing in Eliot’s heart. She’s standing in his heart running her fingers over the hills and valleys of the key to his front door, twin to the one that hangs around Hardison's neck.

     

    This story picks up a couple of days after they wrap the ValueMore job.

    Summary

    Parker used to tell herself bedtime stories.

    Because no one else did, and because the picture books she came across always seemed to paint the dragons as the bad guys. So she made her own, stories where the rules made more sense to her and the characters were more interesting and the dragons were bigger and cooler and winners and always got a happy ending.

     Parker falls in love three times.

    Summary

    Sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night and wonders if this is the rest of his life. He doesn’t use the word purpose, because everything feels so much less than that. But as the years start to add up, he resigns himself to the emptiness of it all.

    There’s no reason for him to take the Dubenich job.

    He says yes anyway. Like he was drawn to it, a little bit of destiny and a little bit of a higher power and a little bit of pure dumb luck.

    ***

    Eliot’s been searching for something like this.

    Summary

    Eliot's their hitter, and taking on any physical threats to the team is his job, but there's something beyond professionalism – even beyond the obvious fact that Eliot relishes the fight itself – in the way he puts his body between Parker or Alec and any potential threat. Alec has a good view of Eliot's back on a lot of jobs, and he reads something in the tight line of Eliot's shoulder, in the slow turn of his foot as he steps into a fighting stance.

    Something possessive.
