* The RiversOfLondon books, especially further into the series, are painfully lacking in cute little domestic moments between Team Folly. Luckily we have fanfic to make up for that, and Mardia’s oneshots do not disappoint.

* Comments: Lovely pre-cannon, pre-ettersberg fic about Thomas and David. It falls into a lot of those sad, pining historical gays tropes but the ending is largely hopeful, the humor hits just right, and the prose is beautifully written.

* Synopsis: ''Anticipate, formulate, release. The Nightingale at Ettersberg.''
''When Abigail Kamara gets hired for a new and interesting hacking job, the last person she expects to see is her cousin Peter, until last year a detective in the Metropolitan Police Service. Peter’s putting together a team - but the job turns out to be twistier than either he or Abigail realise…''
* Comments: This whole fic Plot-driven Leverage Fusion! Who doesn't want to see the cast of RoL pull a heist? It's also all written from Abigail's perspective which is stunning. The prose is amazing. The structure is amazing. wonderful. We don't see enough of her in this fandom and Sixthlight captures her voice really well. This is Literature.a Beverley/Peter/Thomas OT3 fic, but the pairing takes a backseat to the plot because the fic is from Abigail POV. For those who are interested, Sixthlight has written some prequel-oneshots for this AU which focus more on the relationship and these can be found through the series link on ao3.



* Tags: Alternate Universe, Heist AU, Not technically a crossover because it doesn't include any of the Leverage characters

* Synopsis: ''Peter Grant is a contestant on the 2016 series of The Great British Bake Off. Thomas Nightingale is its famously stoic, poker-faced judge. The nation’s running commentary is their background soundtrack as they flirt onscreen. It’s going to be a very long ten weeks.''
* Pairing: Peter Grant/Thomas Nightingale
* Comments: A really cute shipping fic with a heavy side of examining how the British public treats GBBO contestants and the entitlement we feel towards celebrities personal lives, all told through people's reactions to the story's events on twitter, tumblr, and over text. This is also a really nice use of RoL's ever expanding cast of secondary characters, most of whom we never really get to see in fanfiction.

* Recommended by: Adothan
* ''Status'': Complete
* Synopsis: ''"When the new Beverley Brook was born he felt it, because of course he did, because on some weird and metaphysical level they were the same person. He felt the wonder of being newly alive dimly, like a muscle memory. He felt love looking up into the eyes of a mother that wasn't his. He felt connected to the magic of the city like he hadn't done in over a hundred years, and it was bittersweet in every way."''
* Pairings: Beverley Brook & Previous Beverley Brook, Beverley Brook(s)/Peter Grant
* Comments: A really great Beverley Brook character study and possibly my favorite fic to come out of Lies Sleeping. There simply isn't enough Beverley fic in this fandom.

* Synopsis: ''In 1945, the prison camp of Ettersberg is bombed from altitude. In 2009, Peter Grant graduates university with a bachelor’s degree in architecture. It’s a magical new world.''
* Comments: This is a Peter/Nightingale fic, but its largely plot driven and also a really interesting take on what the magical community outside the Folly might look like, and other ways that Peter might have stumbled across it. It also has a really nice oneshot sequel.
