Summary
“It's already so bad. They could have said all normal stuff, and the way she touched her face—” Demodus broke off with a horrified gasp. “Oh, shit! The head! I forgot about the head! Where is it?!”
Julien Davinos is part kettle-hob/grig, but his "nice" head has been stuffed in a closet in the Palazzo Davinos since the Falconer's Rebellion. Now, the Tachonises have taken the Palazzo, and Julien has no idea what they might do to or with his head of blooms. Fortunately, someone else has actually managed to find it first…
Scenes of (mostly) the Seekers and Schemers coping with the ramifications of Julien's second head. Currently follows the campaign canon as it unfolds with scenes occurring around canonical events or modified canon events, plus some flashbacks to Julien's backstory.

One Small Candle (To Curse the Tachonises) by OnyxBird

Summary
How can you possibly win against the Tachonises if every Tachonis and vassal you kill goes straight back to bolster their forces after death? Occtis thinks he's found a potential answer, if he can just re-create his family's own ritual candles. All he needs is the materials, and fortunately, he does happen to have an (un)dead Tachonis at his disposal. Unfortunately, that leaves him having to explain to the rest of the Seekers just what he has created.

Summary
There are a lot of questions likely to run through one's mind when waking up to find a rapier at one's throat, but the main one occupying Thjazi Fang's in this moment was: Has Raimond Davinos lost his mind? The second, “Am I still dreaming?,” was probably more common, but so far, nothing Thjazi could see, hear, or feel, frozen in place on his bedroll in a much-patched tent in the Torn Banner's war camp, supported the idea that this was anything but reality.
Nothing, that is, except the child at the opposite end of the rapier.
Everyone knows that Sir Julien Davinos captured the great Thjazi Fang at the end of the Falconer's Rebellion. Most who give it any thought realize that he's impressively young to have single-handedly captured the leader of a rebellion 12 years ago... but what most people think they know about Julien Davinos' age is wrong. Going by the stated timeline of almost-13-year-old Julien's melee flashback in “Seeking Sanctuary,” i.e., “the year before the gates to Faerie closed,” how would little 10-year-old Julien have managed to capture Thjazi Fang three years earlier?

Summary
Azune has a lot to think about after being present for Julien's conversation with Murray... including the logical implications of one of Julien's idioms.

Summary
The obnoxious Tachonis boy kept repeating everything Julien said, and Julien could not fathom why. Regardless, whatever game Occtis was playing was the last irritation he needed on top of a deeply unpleasant day, and the explanation offered was utterly ludicrous. Julien was fluent in both languages used by his house and had no reason to confuse them.
(When Julien's thoughts are clouded by injury/illness, one language comes more readily to his tongue than the other. Unfortunately, not the one he has in common with his companions.)

Summary
A collection of fics/ficlets based on a Dark AU where Eliot never left Damien Moreau's employ and spent the first three years of Leverage as Moreau's agent within the Leverage crew, reporting back on their activities and slowly growing attached to the team.
The fics explore different, often contradictory ways that could play out rather than forming a single, unified timeline.
The AU concept originated and has been explored on Tumblr starting from posts from darkfinch, usually described as the "hell AU" or "worst AU."

Summary
A series of fics spiraling off of a minor canon-divergence in "The King George Job," wherein Keller's bodyguard Ennis decides to hit on Eliot, prompting drastic measures (and the invention of a "new con") to avoid either blowing his cover with Ennis or revealing Eliot's previous employment to the team.

Summary
There is a cost to existing as an undead with a mind of his own; Occtis finds that his cost is a hunger for blood, one he tries to ignore until he has no other choice. In the Eternal Night, there are few living things to serve as prey, and the hunger does not subside just because he wants it to.
Enter Julien, who has little patience with Occtis' struggle over his newly monstrous hunger.
AKA the AU where Occtis is trying to do ethical vampirism and Julien is having none of it, because Occtis is starving himself and Julien has SO much blood.

Summary
After the end of the Falconers Rebellion, Thjazi does not send Azune to Dol-Makjar to establish himself there and join the Arcane Marshals.
Instead, he sends him to the Golden Orchard, where he signs into the service of House Davinos. The task Thjazi has given him is simple; be a good soldier, protect Aranessa Royce.
(It does not stay simple for long)

Summary
"Are you certain, my lady?" Raimond's fingers tap against his sword hilt. A minor habit of his. He only ever does it when he's thinking of his son. "I hate to put you to such trouble. It is not your place, or the place of your House, to clean up my House's shameful....indiscretions."
Something hot and bright snaps through Aranessa's bones. It feels like a static shock, like ruffling someone's hair after a long run or standing right below a lightning strike. She swallows it smoothly, and does not let her face shift at all.
"Your House is my House, General," she says. It is the kinder option. The other option would be to remind him that he does not determine what is fitting for her place, at any time. It is, and always will be, the other way around. But words get sharp and tongues get loose at this hour of the evening, and she is an adult. She can keep a proper hold on hers. "It is no trouble. It is already done. Go to sleep. Keep the guard rotations as they are. Julien will be well in hand by tomorrow."
***
To sidestep further drama in House Davinos, Aranessa goes to fetch Julien from his latest night of fun.
It proves...challenging. In more ways than one.

Lesser Known Protocols of the Houses Royce and Davinos by coveredinfeels

Summary
It hasn't precisely escaped those in the service of House Royce and House Davinos that the relationship between the Lady Aranessa and Sir Davinos is somewhat unique.
Naturally, as loyal servants to their houses, they wish to support their liege lady and her devoted knight in—er— whatever this is (precise opinions on this point may differ).
