After reading this I realized it was because the way you'd written Eliot just *hurt* for him and that was where my problem was coming from (I, she who writes no small amount of sad and angsty fics, have discovered certain types of melencholy just make my stomache hurt (this is the reason I never even finished the first chapter of The Everlasting despite thinking it was well written or why I can only watch Supernatural in short bursts before needing to go away). Well written depression and exhaustion apparently make me feel depressed (who'd have thought?).
The point of the babble is that this made me happy again because I *do* like and will read stories with that melencholy where there is a light at the end with a (earned) happy ending and this? Made me very happy.
Good job!
Notes on the actual writing, I loved Eliot's enthusiasm and respect for the work of the criminals and how Sophie insisted they use it (and the need to call in the others, can I have a fic where they pull together into Leverage only with Eliot as the formerly honest man. Please?)
Also, right there with you on the naming issues.

I am hoping to work towards a Leverage-esque con/heist at some point (possibly in two more fics, or to end the next one) in order to close off the whole 'verse. I'm thinking this Eliot will get on with Hardison a lot easier than our Eliot, but find it harder to deal with Parker and there's a fair amount my brain wants to play with in that respect.
