Summary
Rusty rolls his eyes again, harder this time.
People think Rusty follows Danny, but the truth is Danny follows Rusty. If Rusty wants to keep Danny out of trouble, all he has to do is say no.
He crumples up his hot dog paper and shoves it into Danny’s chest. “We’re not doing it. That’s that.”
or,
Rusty’s a skittish cat, Danny’s a dog who doesn’t understand why the cat he abandoned twice doesn’t want to snuggle with him, and their nineteen handlers are very tired.
or,
I have been waiting twenty years for you to wake up and love me.
— Ellie (Yesterday)

Summary
So you know that series finale? Watch until you get to 40:15, then close the episode and start reading this fic instead.
AKA
There’s no one else in the universe like Poppy Chandra—and that’s a superpower. She has the biggest family in the universe and a habit of making friends with the oddest of people in the oddest of places. The biggest things they have in common? A love for Sanctuary Moon and a habit of getting into trouble.
Note: this is also a light crossover with the Ocean's Movies and The Princess Bride but you don't really need to have seen those to understand the references 💕💕

Summary
Daniel Ocean died on February 15th 2018.
Danny Ocean's name is carved neatly into a marble wall. Next to him is the name Robert Scoon.
Rusty likes to make up stories: maybe Robert faked his death. Maybe Robert is off in Tahiti drinking from a coconut and living his best life in death. Or maybe Robert's just dead.
Rusty wonders the same about Danny.

Summary
“What are you doing?”
Rusty smiled. “Enjoying the view. It’s not every day one gets the chance to see Terry Benedict up close.”
Benedict couldn’t help but let out a small dry laugh. “So now you flatter me? What are you looking for? Don’t underestimate me, Ryan.”
“Underestimate yourself?” Rusty took a step closer, now just a few inches away from him. “Never. In fact, I always thought you were a man with exquisite tastes and a sharp mind.”
Terry didn’t look away. He was watching Rusty with that intensity he often used to intimidate others, but something in his posture subtly changed. It was obvious that he enjoyed the flirtation, even if he wouldn’t admit it. Rusty knew that.
Rusty has to flirt with Terry Benedict for a heist. His flirtation may not go as he planned.

Candy-Coated Trouble by Viwiel for Khiela Cadona (Khiela)

Summary
A thief with a sweet tooth. A slayer with a weakness for trouble. When Rusty Ryan meets Buffy Summers, it’s less "meet-cute" and more "meet-con"—because he’s definitely still in the game, and she’s definitely onto him.
But between stolen cherries, strategic candy bribes, and the kind of banter that could level a casino, one thing’s clear: This is either going to be the worst idea they’ve ever had… or the best. Place your bets.

Summary
“I’ve gone through so many blueprints, I can taste the ink through my fingers. I've planned job after job, timing each move to perfection, down to the every breath of our men. I’ve organized our team with ease, leaving no question between us unanswered. With enough time, I can predict someone’s behavior, their decisions — you know this. But —- the one thing I can’t figure out — despite all the days we’ve spent together — Danny, all my thoughts are of you. And I’m noticing things I’m not supposed to to notice — about a business partner — about another man — and — well — I don’t think I want it to stop”
or
After an accidental brush of their hands, charismatic Rusty Ryan slowly realizes he’s falling for his oldest friend and partner in crime, Danny Ocean, finding it increasingly challenging to hold himself together in Danny’s presence. If he doesn’t meet these feelings with honesty, he risks jeopardizing the success of their next job, and the safety of the person that means most to him

Summary
When you place a marble on a slanted floor, it will roll along the grain of the wood until it, inevitably, encounters a wall.
In much the same way, Rusty has always known that this would one day happen.
But as he watches Danny pull back, face hidden in the glittering half-darkness around the corner of the Brooklyn Bridge, New Year’s fireworks illuminating him in flashes, it still feels momentous.
Rusty’s treacherous heart is stuttering and he catches himself leaning in for another of those heart-stopping kisses, wanting more, always more.
