"Meet Leslie Johnson, mermaid." John blinked in confusion. Surely Finch was using some obscure literary reference, or perhaps making a pun. It was too early in the day for wordplay. Team Machine's latest number is a mermaid! Careese, especially in later chapters.

"Jeesh," Root said dramatically, "you lure a pretty girl to an abandoned warehouse and tie her up for an hour just once, and she never lets you forget it." (From Root Access.) Or, what happened when Root kidnapped Elizabeth for the afternoon?

The rabbit hole went far, far deeper than Elizabeth Ruben had ever expected, but she wasn't about to back out now. What would she do? Go back to her boring ol' job as a programmer? Puh-leeze. Being Robin was so much more fun...and maybe, someday, it would let her pay back her debt to the world. Sequel to Protocols. Donnelly is back! Carter lives! AU. Sarcastic narrators. COMPLETE.

Elizabeth has seen some weird stuff in her time working with Harold Finch and his Machine AI, but nothing like Aperture Science. Cut off from Root and Shaw and thrust into an unfamiliar, dangerous environment overseen by an AI that seems just a little too interested in her alleged "massiveness", she must survive long enough to escape GLaDOS' clutches. Chell will show up soon!

"She wanted you to *what*?" Shaw said around a mouthful of eggs. Or, Root has submissive fantasies and a wireless toy. All she's missing is somebody to hold the remote. Too bad she's so bad at asking for things...and the control issues don't help either. Takes place a month or three after "Wireless". Established Shaw/Elizabeth, Shaw/Root, slow Root/Elizabeth. It's complicated...

"Harold," John mumbles into the beach towel, "put the laptop away." Or, John is working on his tan, Harold a workaholic, and John gets sunburned. Harold helps him spread aloe vera across his back. Written for a tumblr prompt. Trying fluffy Rinch for a challenge.

An AU in which Shaw is not a doctor, Elizabeth exhibits very poor decision making skills, and both of them are driving Dr. Tillman up the wall. Total crackfic. More chapters to come.

Shaw helps Elizabeth Ruben cope with her crippling fear of the dark using a silken blindfold and patient intimacy. Fluffy, snarky, and smutty. Shaw/Elizabeth. Some power play, roleplaying, and switching (roles). Complete! A tie-in to the Protocols universe, and probably will fit neatly with Feature Creep when the main story catches up.

Shaw makes Elizabeth beg for her release. Elizabeth should've known Shaw was so good at playful extortion... Short story practice. Light BDSM themes.

Elizabeth Ruben made a bet with Shaw-and lost. "Winner gets to pick what the loser wears for a day." It had sounded so harmless! Surely, Elizabeth reasoned, it would be something simple, if not ludicrous-a sombrero, maybe, or lurid legwarmers. Elizabeth really hadn't expecting a wireless toy...especially not with Shaw holding the remote. It was going to be one VERY long day...

The first time Leon meets Samantha Shaw, Leon is tied to the bed.

Elizabeth Ruben would've been a corpse, would've never been found in that shipping container, if it weren't for a guardian angel she didn't even knew she had. AU. (Donnelly is alive and will be around in sequel.) Social commentary on themes in the show. (PTSD, hacking ethics and computer technology.) Realistic technobable by a geek. Shaw is around too. Strong focus on tech realism.
