- Notes:
This collection of jobs started with a plot bunny in 2010 and with renewed energy, I wrote it out. It spans out from Season 4 all the way through Leverage Redemption.
Each job is like the show - an episode with a mark, a con and a clever reveal at the end.
Though we all know and love the OT3 and of course wish Eliot all the happiness in the world - I wrote out the Damsel as an original character. One I hope you may like and give a chance.
Please enjoy with the attitude I have written it - pure self indulgence.
