Summary:

The Leverage: Redemption team are hired to investigate Merrick Pharmaceuticals following a suspicious death in South Sudan. They embark on a con, infiltrate Merrick’s HQ… and find some unexpected prisoners in his research lab.

Based on this Tumblr prompt from ChimaeraKitten:

There are at least 31 leverage/the old guard crossovers on AO3 and yet I’m pretty sure none of them have gone the objectively funniest route wherein the third act of TOG goes entirely off the rails because Parker Hardison and Eliot were halfway through scamming Merrick and happen to have already been in the building when Andy gets dragged in

Leverage fans: this is a Leverage case fic where the mark just happens to be the big-pharma bad guy from The Old Guard. You don't need to have watched The Old Guard.

TOG fans: this is an outsider-POV, canon-divergent AU where there's a scam in progress at Merrick Pharmaceuticals when the Old Guard team are captured. It'll make more sense if you've watched Leverage!
