Summary
It’s been so long, you’ve forgotten to expect it. And yet, there it is: a dusty, faded flower, sitting pretty on your doorstep. The thing’s face is withered, nearly gray instead of purple, and a simpler you could write that off as the cause of your delay in recognition if the thing wasn’t so distinctive, and that makes it denial, and isn’t that so much worse?
A little necklace adorns the thing; thin string punched through cream-colored paper, the corners folded just-so. A wax seal you might recognize, but coordinates you don’t, at least not from here, so you lean in for a closer look. You pick up the flower, and something in your mind whitens. The fuzz of the stem prickles at your thumb, just like so many kisses, and that- that is when his voice comes up, dread-warmth in your ear.
“For bonny sweet Robin is all of my joy.”

Or, what happens when a demon of Eliot's past refuses to be outrun.

Summary
Eliot didn't expect the art expert he's come to respect to be Nate's ex-wife.
He didn't expect to face off with a hitter who could actually best him.
He didn't expect Sophie to try to con them.
Working with a team has softened him more than he thought.
(The First David Job, but with added whump, basically.)

Summary
Jake freezes in place as his opponent starts to turn toward him. His face is obscured by his long hair, but he doesn't even look out of breath.
Jake's own breath hitches when the man looks up. He knows that face.
“Eliot?” he asks slowly, unable to believe it himself. But it is him. Behind the long hair is the same face Jake sees in the mirror every morning. The face of the twin he hasn't seen in fifteen years.

Summary
"“I ain't hurt,” he tells her.
He’s not, not really. It wasn’t even a bad fight, in the grand scheme of things, he’s just tired, really fucking tired. That awful bone deep fatigue that comes from spending too long surrounded by people, pretending to be something you’re not. The type that no one but him seems to get. "Or Eliot is autistic, Parker gets it.
