Crossovers

Leverage/Iron Man

Nerds of the Earth, take note! by Betty and Emeraldwoman
SHIELD kidnaps Hardison to do some consulting. Hijinks ensue. Highly enjoyable crossover full of amazing nerdery and spot-on characterization.

Iron Man


His and Hers by roboticonograph
Tony takes Pepper to Paris for dinner. I really enjoyed this.

She's glad about the hotel room, after all; she's ready for a hot shower and a soft bed. She always sleeps especially soundly after really good sex, and it's been a long time since she had a decent night's sleep.

Tony's more wired than ever, his mind racing with possibility. He always does his best thinking after really good sex, and what just happened has given him a lot of new data to parse. He feels as though his next step should be to repeat the experiment in a different setting, under more controlled conditions. He'd like the chance to put his best foot forward. Metaphorically speaking.

Fringe

That common consolation by Zara Hemla (zarahemla)
Figuring her out is like looking into a cave he visited once in South America – it went down and down, and at the bottom it was so black it was almost a negative light. Not in an unfriendly way, exactly, but in a way that promised that once you lowered yourself in, you were not coming back out the same person. Peter is kind of an expert on risk and he's sure that Olivia is a risk that, once taken, will pay off in a big way. Sometimes she looks at him sideways out of those eyes of hers and it's a kind of voltage, the kind he's been searching for all his life.

Nicely done mid-season 2 Peter/Olivia.
