Summary: Eliot can't sleep.
Author's Notes: So we're here with the Epilogue to the little series of snapshots, taking place a few months after What a Diff'rence. :) Also... okay, I admit it, I'd planned to take another song for this ("Tonight" by Reamonn, if anyone was interested) but then I came across that nice little Eliot/Parker fanvid (what? Now and then I really like those) on YouTube and I just... um... had to use it (you can find it under the link to the lyrics). Yeah. Also, I probably found a way to make it possible for mackenziesmomma to watch Leverage after all! Yay!

PS.: I Have another piece that's more or less summing up the snapshots from Parker's POV to come so I'm not quite done with this series.

PPS.: For all you lurkers... you can still unlurk here.

Yep, it's a collection of daily meaningless rambling...

• 11:52 I think I kinda failed How To Make New Friends 101 in conversation class last night and now teacher sent an e-mail. Don't want to open it :S #
• 12:50 OK. WHY is dad following @rickcenteno on twitter (w/o actually BEING on twitter)? Srsly, sometimes dad creeps me out w/ his stalker skillz. #
• 12:56 Ah, OK, I get it. Now I'm wondering... does dad stalk ME on twitter as well? I'd not put it beyond him. So... do you, dad? #
• 15:06 Oops. Went on a little #Leverage fanvid spree. Been a while since I watched any & I'm kinda in love w/ this one: tinyurl.com/2wsk4ax #
• 15:07 Followers, can anyone plz also point me in the direction of Christian Kane albums b/c I seem to be too dumb to FIND any *hangs head in shame #
• 16:42 SO IF YOU'RE LOOONELY WHY D'YOU SAY YOU'RE NOT LOOONELY... crap. Now I can't get the song out of my head. Thanks #Leverage fanvid *rollseyes #
• 17:05 Mh. MAYBE the song would get out of my head if I just stopped watching that §/§&ing video. But then again... nah, that would be too easy. #

Yep, it's a collection of daily meaningless rambling...

• 00:02 I... can't believe that I just started watching the #Leverage pilot. You know, all you #LINKE followers, that would be a show you'd like. #
• 00:07 YAY! Eliot said it again! Just for "That's 20 pounds of crazy in a five pound bag." I could watch the #Leverage pilot again and again! #
• 00:44 People, NO throwing songs at defenseless writers (i.e. ME in particular). Too many bunnies are hopping around in the corral already. Srsly. #

Look, I made Leverage icons.

What?

Don't tell me you could have resisted.

Anyway, teaser:

Title: Need Another Story
Fandom: Leverage
Characters: Eliot, Parker
Word Count: 1,337
Rating: T
Summary: Eliot always prided himself to be good at controlling everything... but Parker was always good at shaking things up anyway.
Author's Notes: Okay, um... virgin fic in this fandom, so please be gentle :S Originally, Need Another Story was planned as a simple one-shot to get me out of the routine of writing Stargate but it turned into a series of one-shots. Need Another Story is now the prologue and takes place some time during Season One, somewhere in the second half, I'd say. Also, everyone please thank my beta mackenziesmomma who agreed to edit this although she has never seen an episode of Leverage in her whole life and normally beta's my Stargate stuff. Every mistake in content is entirely my fault, not hers. She is made of awesome ;)

Anyway, as always: Not a native speaker, so please excuse any weird grammatical constructions, run-ons and typos. Feedback will earn you a cookie, flames will roast my marshmellows.

 

( Need Another Story )

 

Today, four German soldiers were killed near Baghlan in Afghanistan and the media released the news a few hours ago. While I was checking Twitter for more info on it, I came across a tweet from my former local party organisation's press representative, stating that tomorrow there would be protests during a welcome home muster for soldiers returning from their deployment to Afghanistan. It's going to be the same unit that lost soldiers last year in September (remember, losing soldiers in Afghanistan is still a major event, and we're only now starting to realize what it means to be at war - the country is still reeling from the shock of what happened on Good Friday).

( Hate the war, love the soldier... or at least don't HATE them as well. )

On a wholly unrelated note: OMG LEVERAGE SQUEE! All of you were right! Leverage is like... really, really cool. I'm currently watching S01E02 and I'm already in love with the high tech toys and Eliot and Parker (and kinda Eliot/Parker... what? I'm really fast with shipping...) and Hardison and Sophie and Nate (and a little bit Sophie/Nate... I'm not quite sold on it yet). Oh, and explosions! That's really all I need. Yay Leverage!

Also... finished watching EUReKA's Season 3 and... I DON'T WANT TESS TO GO! Tess can't go and let us all plunge back into Jack/Allison darkness! Jack/Allison doesn't make any sense at all. They don't fit and they don't even have real chemistry (they do work fine as friends but every time the writers try to steer them in a romantic direction it all goes poof)... it just doesn't work. Jack and Tess... clicked. Their sense of humor is compatible, the look cute together, when they fight the sparks fly... Also, Tess is awesome and would so deserve to be made a regular... don't take that away, please. Make it work, writers. PLEASE! (also, could someone please free me from that bothersome EUReKA/SGA crossover bunny involving both Tess and Cadman that keeps on bugging me? Seriously, if I ever start writing it you all should DUCK AND RUN!)

Oh, also... managed to kill my laptop's keyboard. Thank God for external keyboards and sisters' boyfriends' who happen to be IT geniuses (both hard- and software). 'Nuff said.
