AN: This didn't quite come out how I wanted it but I am new at trying to write the Leverage characters so please forgive the rough edges. This was written for the HUSH NOW challenge at Leverageland on Livejournal in which we couldn't use ANY dialogue.
Disclaimers: Don't own it and made nothing from this so no suing me please.

To Parker crawling through vent ducts was the most natural thing in the world, especially on nights she couldn't sleep, which usually turned out to be most nights. Instead of lying awake in a warm, soft bed staring at the ceiling like most people with insomnia would do, she threw the blankets back, and decided to put her sleepless hours to good use. Most nights she picked a random building's vents to explore but one night she passed Hardison's place and decided to see just how good his security system was. brbrBut it wasn't the fact his security system was sort of challenging to get past or the fact he had some of the best vents in Boston that kept Parker coming back to crawl in them night after night. What kept her coming back night after night was that Parker had learned something about Hardison he'd kept secret from them since the Moto job and that was he had kept playing on playing the violin.
She'd come back night after night to curl up in the vents with Bunny and soon fall asleep as he played pieces more intrinsic, more beautiful the anything she had ever heard in her life. Listening to Hardison's playing made her feel warm and safe and she knew she'd found the ultimate cure for insomnia.
The piece I imagined Hardison was playing while Parker is secretly listening to him is Brahms string sextet I op18 B Flat II, which you can hear at: you tube .com/watch?v=tYTfnYHXQpA (remove spacing between you and tube)
