Fandoms: Leverage/Criminal Minds
Title: The Serial Killer Job
Characters/Pairings: Eliot Spencer, Spencer Reid, Derek Morgan, Aaron Hotchner, Parker, Hardison, Nate, Sophie, vague hints of Reid/Morgan, allusion to Reid/Eliot
Word Count: ~6200
Rating: NC-17 (for violence/torture)
Summary: Once upon a time I wrote: The Cold Comfort Job for ice_ziggee...then along came this piece. Eliot finds that the team has come up against a mark better suited to Reid's team than his own, but when he realizes that they can't pin the gruesome deaths on the man, he does sets himself up to be the man's next target.

A/Ns & Warnings: Written for ice_ziggee. Graphic torture. Serial killer. Very vague glimpses of Spencer/Eliot. Even vaguer notions of Spencer/Derek. I wanted it to go sexier places, but it just wasn't happening.

( It didn't take long for Eliot to agree with Parker. This was not their job. This was something even Nate couldn't see coming. )
