Leverage; Eliot/Parker Recs

[death-of-dreams.livejournal.com]

Fandom: Leverage
Pairing: Parker/Eliot Spencer; side Nate/Sophie
Title: Call it a Tribe
Genre: Romance, Comedy, AU
author: chasingtides
Rating: PG13
Summary: Part of the 'St. Nicholas' Home for Troubled Youth' Series (which is fantastic to read) - an AU where Sophie and Nate adopt Eliot and Parker (teenagers) and little Hardison (7 years old) and the family they make. In this particular piece, Parker is very determined not to go to prom.
Warnings: Underage romance; 
Why it must be read: Sheer adorableness. Laughter is easy to find and it's just so...oddly fitting, the way this family unit reminds you of the one the real adults have in the show but as younger characters in a different situation. Even if you're not wild about the pairing, read this series, because it's too funny and cute to miss out on.

Rating/Warning(s): PG-13, None
Genre: Comedy, Romance
WIP?: No, complete at 17 chapters, 118,963 words
Setting: the first live-action drama
Special Rec: 13/28

Why This Must Be Read: This fic retells and expands upon canon, entirely from Shin's POV. The author has done an amazing job of showing us what is going on inside Shin's head as the drama progresses. I love to watch his growing attraction to Yankumi. It's done very well! I did not find this retelling of canon boring at all, and the author was not afraid to give us missing scenes nor extend the story past the official end. ^^V Definitely worth a read from all Yankumi/Shin fans!
