The Tin Man by James (R)
Hello, I'm Veronica and I'll be reccing here from now on. I'm very pleased to meet you all.
Title: The Tin Man
Fandom: Leverage
Pairing: Alec Hardison/Eliot Spencer
Categories: AU, Drama, Family, Hurt/Comfort
Length: 21.070 words
Warnings: dubious treatment of humans in the back story

Author Website: Gila's Cave
Summary: Eliot was created in a lab, a cybernetic soldier. Now he's trying to learn how to be human, finding a family and falling in love along the way.
Review: There's not a lot of long Leverage fic out there, and even less well written AUs but The Tin Man manages to capture what we've seen of Eliot in canon and takes it that little step further, so that you've got a captivating, beautiful story that is just long enough to satisfy you even though you wish it were longer.
And while the characterization of Eliot was what drew me into the story, the rest of the cast is also handled very well. There are a thousand little details - Hardison's almost stalker-ish behaviour towards his team mates, Parker's general weirdness and Sophie's and Nate's relationship - and that is what makes this one of my favorite fics in this fandom.

I'm very glad to be here, and I'll be sure to let you know if I'm unsure about anything at all. But so far, all of my question have been covered by the FAQ.
