Shelter Me (Old Dog/New Tricks) by thingswithwings is a Leverage OT3 fic with some canon-typical running and shouting, a slow build with a bit of kink, and brie-stuffed french toast. Hardison/Parker/Eliot (I love these three highly competent dorks so much), spot-on characterization, and I just needed to bind it.

The copy with the navy spine is mine, and the orange one is with thingswithwings now! The first copy is DIY book cloth, fabric that I already had backed with scrap paper using iron-on fusible interfacing. The new copy is Duo book cloth and chiyogami paper. Both sets of end papers are some of the leftovers from my wife's gel plate printing phase. If I'd had a bit more experience when I started it, I might not have tried to do a full-sized casebound book with a fic that was only 20k, but it all worked out in the end. I didn't try to sew the endbands though, I used scrap cloth to make them instead. Also, with a bit more practice, the second copy opens all the way flat, unlike most of my earlier books. Casing in! Practice helps! Gotta get those endpapers right into the hinge gap.

And this has also made it into the author's hands now, so I can share! Happy belated Fanfic Writers' Appreciation Day, thingswithwings!

Tell me about your OCs! (if you have any)

Good grief I have many an oc… I’ve spoken vaguely about my mains online BUT I keep it vague for privacy stuff lol. The main set are from a story me and a close friend began IRL years ago that was all but abandoned after the pandemic. They aren’t really into it anymore so essentially I’ve been given free reign over them. However… I have no set plan on what we’re gonna do. We both love art so we’ve considered making it into like a webcomic or a book but neither of us know. It’s just this series stuck in my head. I keep things vague with them love in case we ever do get around to making this a real published thing (also because I am… 60% sure said friend has a tumblr and Do Not Want Them To Find Me.)

#i have so many little people and characters in my head from things ive made over the years i love writing #there’s also a book i stopped writing cause my parents got too involved and it wasnt fun anymore but who knows i may finish i have too much #lore in my head.#my notes app is CLUTTERED with ocs and game ideas and comic ideas and book ideas and—#hmmm. ive been working on a new idea for a bit amnd there’s one thing ive had for over a year but it isnt fleshed out enough for me to have #like. oc introductions.#maybe i should finish fleshing out one of these half-finished prompts so i can tumblrify it.#OH AND #i DO have VERY vivid dreams often and if a character appears often I name them #so i guess those people count as ocs?#because theyre dreams they are very strange #i think dreams are so interesting. they can be such a deep dive into your inner self OR just essentially shitposting behind your eyelids #its so cool to me. maybe i should talk about those.#aight chat what do i do. who are my tumblr ocs gonna be.#flesh out the horror idea? flesh out the other milder horror idea? or talk about the dream characters?#those three i havent spoken much of irl who will be my Tumblr Ocs #i love them all so #asks #anonymous #I DID NOT MEAN TO RAMBLE i may screenshot this and make these tags a whole post

Going through subfolders upon subfolders on my laptop while looking for something else, I tripped and fell over a bunch of drunken sailors enjoying some downtime during the filming of Master and Commander: Joseph Morgan (Warley), Max Benitz (Calamy), William Mannering (Doudle), Lee Ingleby (Hollom), and John DeSantis (Padeen). And what shall we do with the drunken sailors, what shall we do.

So, saw somebody else doing a whole ‘what daemons do your OCs have and why’ sorta deal so, for shits and giggles, my major loves.

Marian- Torc, Aldabra Giant Tortoise

Look, sometimes a woman is a tortoise. Patient, sturdy, stubborn, reliable. An old soul who always plans ahead, with a mind that runs like clockwork. A rock in the chaos. And then, you get people who are tortoises, but more. She has a large presence, a matriarch at her heart who walks into a room and you feel it in the air, a quiet pride barely hidden under the stereotypical tortoise humbleness that requires a massive daemon to contain it. Add to that that, for giant tortoises, Aldabra’s are known to be relatively fast and acrobatic, which is a great reflection for the fact that she has the soul of an adventurer and prankster underneath it all. For all she’s reserved and hardworking, once you get her out of her shell she burns for excitement.

Monette- Cadyl, Gelada

Again, sometimes a woman is a monkey. An outgoing and communicative creature, small and unassuming, not as smart as some but enough so, with complex social networks and a tendency to keep groups of partners and associates. She trades in favors like a gelada trade in acts of grooming, thriving in a group and wasting when she’s alone, not afraid to let go of some of her power and control in exchange for a more overall favorable outcome. But like a gelada you can’t let the charm and peaceful exterior fool you, because with cause she’s more than willing to bare her teeth in warning or threat to defend what’s hers.

Allison- Donnie, Austroplebeia cassiae

Why yes, Donnie’s species doesn't even have a common name, just one of so many little-noted stingless honeybees. Allie is everything you would expect from such a creature. Hardworking, loyal, creative, more focused on the whole than on herself. She lives for her family and her community, organizing people, supporting those around her, and standing for what she believes in, no matter the cost to herself. But the stingless portion is important. She hates to lie, and more importantly isn’t made to fight. While she’ll take to it if need be, it’s not in her nature to be on the front lines, and her roles is more in taking care of and lending support to those who can dive into the fray herself.

Dr. Carel- Lana, Northern Flying Squirrel

Though he appears to be scatterbrained, our dear doctor is more intelligent that he first seems, simply hard to understand due to how he flits from project to project that others can’t understand with dogged determination. Not one to run, not one to fight, fine alone but happy in groups as well. His, unique, viewpoint is befitting someone with a gliding daemon, as is the way his mind and feet both wander.

Var/Valko- Tarav, Bluetick Hound

And sometimes a man is a hound dog. Loyal, social, highly active, loud. Or, well, he used to be. He’s nonverbal anymore but still once he opens up you better hope you can read sign at speed because he’s not slowing down or shutting up. He reliable, playful, outgoing, and true to his pack. Adventurous and intelligent, though not a leader in any way. He’s a follower, yes, and one of the best right hand’s you’re going to get.

Irene- James, Western Pebble Mound Mouse

Is pretty much exactly what you’d stereotypically expect from a mouse- shy, a mite timid, but intelligent. She’d working on regrowing the backbone her family stole from her, but she’s polite, respectful, playful, and empathetic. True to James’s species, she’s in her element in groups despite her shyness, a creator at heart, more resilient than she first appears, and without an aggressive bone in her body (or any bones, really, but that’s besides the point).

Jadie- Wira, Ring-Necked Pheasant

Somebody somewhere ordered a prince charming, though I don’t know who. Though not immediately impressive, they have an air of confidence and grace common to male gamefowl everywhere. They’re charming, dependable, affectionate, chatty, and a hardworker, ready to drop everything and dive directly into whatever mess they need to to look out for those around them. Poly as fuck, they spoil and defend their women against all comers without a second thought, taking a fierce pride in them in all their glory, and are also strongly family-oriented, for all that they’ve run off and done their own thing.

#my ocs #i love them all so #they're wonderful #this doesn't go into all the intricacies of them all but it gives a 'why' for their shapes #we've got four mammals an insect a non-avian reptile and a bird #mari monie allie and jadie sort've form a loose quartet in my head #which at least makes sense for mari and jadie since she's literally their boss #dear jadie stop yearning for your boss it doesn't matter how much you lure her to the 'maybe i'll make an exception for butches' side #when she signs your paycheck and owns the house and coop you and your chickens live in #she's a better boss than that
