Title: The Right Thing (The Pot-Valor Job)
Fandom: Leverage
Author: Cat Moon
Rating: Mature
Words: 655
Characters/Pairing: Alec/Eliot/Parker (OT3)
Summary: Pot valor, with a twist
Notes: Takes place after "The Long Way Down Job," but not necessary to be familiar with it. Lots of good stuff in that ep. I always loved Alec's line during the end scene. He's talking to Parker supposedly about their relationship, but he says, 'we *all* work okay.' I don't need much more encouragement than that. Sure, there might be some issues with having them get together at this point, but we're fanfic writers, we can bend canon to our will.

Boldness or courage induced by the consumption of alcohol. Also known as liquid courage or Dutch courage.

ETYMOLOGY:
From pot, alluding to a drinking pot + valor (boldness), from Latin valor (worth), from valere (to be well, be of worth). Ultimately from the Indo-European root wal- (to be strong), which also gave us valiant, avail, valor, value, wieldy, countervail, valence, valetudinarian, and valorize. Earliest documented use: 1623.
