Summary
The car trip home from Gillon, Louisiana
“Fine,” Eliot snaps, “but no more stops after this. I just wanna get home so I can finally sleep.”
“Just sleep in the car after we eat,” Parker says, “I’m driving, so you got nothing to worry about.” She smiles innocently.
“You driving is exactly why I gotta be worried, and you know I can never sleep in a moving car.”
“And the food-truck check-up 3 years ago when I drove the entire length of Nebraska while you lay with your eyes closed was what? Practicing your astral projection?”A small coda to the Shakedown in Clone-Town Job.

How the daughter of an undead spy became the back-up, back-up Sophie by MeanderingStream

Summary
From the time Charlie was 13, he heard many stories about his uncle, Michael Westen, and how he used to be a spy. Michael and Fiona's daughter, Claire, also grew up with those stories. Raised in that household, they learned tradecraft practically at their mother's knee, so it's no surprise that they want to go into the family business of taking on jobs to help people, even if sometimes the methods get a little outside the law.
Charlie prefers to do his work from behind the safety of a screen, and he becomes an expert hacker. He happens to make an online friend, who happens to be in a similar line of work, providing people with Leverage to help take down big companies that are screwing people over. Hardison and Charlie become friends, and then start helping each other with jobs.
One day, the leverage crew need an extra grifter, and Charlie suggests Claire. The meeting starts out well until Eliot gets suspicious that there's something off about the two, and he's determined to protect his family from the potential threat.

Summary
Josh sees Donna on the primary's campaign trail and misses her desperately. She looks so much better than he had once feared she ever would again during those long hours in Germany.
And he knows he'd promised anything if only she’d live. Anything at all. And there she is: Alive. So maybe this is the price.

Summary
“For a man formidable and even equal to Yusef himself in battle, the frank sure seemed hopeless at everything else.
Again, habibi, really?”
ElephantOfAfrica pointed out that (paraphrased):
Habibi does indeed mean ‘My Love’ and grammatically it's being used correctly, but the reality of day to day life for Arabic speakers is a little bit different. It’s very, very casual and very versatile; it's not special. Some people use it when they're gearing up for a fight 😂 like "oh yeah Habibi?!" Fists up a-hole!!! Like it can mean babe, or honey, or you fucker, or are-you-trying-to-charge-me-extra-for-2-kilos-of-tomato?-fuck-you, or what-do-mean-your-mom-sent-us-dinner-again?-are-you-complaining-about-my-cooking-to-her? 👀👀 In general, there’s an incredibly passive aggressive energy it holds.
So this language plot-hole fixit got stuck in my head and wouldn’t leave. This is how Joe started calling Nicky “habibi,” and how the word became theirs.

Summary
Deciding not to push his luck and reveal his hand too much, Dan intentionally missed the next shot. He wanted Phil intimidated. He wanted him to be forced to show his skill off a little bit more, floundering to catch up, asking himself what went wrong the same way Dan had been doing all night.
Dan competes in pro pool tournaments, and in many circles, is considered a professional and talented player. Phil is a hustler, whose victims often don’t realize they’re being swindled until it’s too late.
