Author's note: this is the third of 5 interconnected Leverage crossovers, all focusing on Hardison and his encounters with fellow geeks from various TV shows. It can be read independently, but it'll make more sense if you read the previous parts first:

Part 2 (Veronica Mars crossover)

Read part 3 at LJ.

Title: Age(s) of the Geek, part 1 of 5.
Author: mermaid.
Fandoms: Leverage / Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Rating: PG for non-graphic horror themes.
Genre: gen, with brief mentions of canonical Buffy relationships.
Length: 5,600 words.

Author's note: the working title for this series of Leverage crossover fics was "Five times that Alec Hardison crossed paths with other geeks", and that pretty much sums it up! The stories cover Hardison from age 14 to age 30, suggesting that he met fellow computer geniuses (from Buffy, Veronica Mars, Doctor Who, Heroes and Supernatural) along the way.
