Stark Tower has literally got the best wifi in the whole of New York and Tony makes it free as well so sometimes he’ll walk out of the ground floor and just see like a dozen or so people, usually kids, just sat on the doorstep on their phones or laptops and like it’s such a little thing to do but yknow. He’s Ironman. Give the kids some damn fast wifi.
There are little things everyone does. These are the things you pick up on your significant other.
Jacob notices a lot about Ezekiel. His small habits. His big ones. His kinda small ones. Jacob loves these things about Ezekiel. He finds them cute.
His favorite is all the places Ezekiel has to hide throughout the Library. Slowly, Jacob had been introduced to each of them. Jacob felt honored. Ezekiel was slowly opening up to him and being in a relationship.
Jacob knew there was one place that Ezekiel wasn’t showing him, and he respected that. His boyfriend was private. When he wanted to show him, he’d be there to support him.
Another thing that Jacob loved about Ezekiel was the way he carried himself. He carried himself with so much confidence and respect. He really admired that.
Jacob himself could never carry himself like that; he’s never been able to. He’s carried himself highly, but not with confidence or respect.
Ezekiel loved many things about Jacob. Ezekiel loved everything about Jacob, actually.
He loved his singing. He loved his hair. His weird American accent. There was nothing that he hated about Jacob.
Well, maybe there was one little thing he hated. He hated the way he could spew out poetry and talk about it like it was his job. Yeah, sure it was his job. His job was to be smart, but Ezekiel hated that he would do it in the middle of thier dates.
But secretly he liked it.
Little things make the world go round. Just a little at a time. Because they’re little.
“I don’t get why you even like-”
Season 1 Jenkins: I find you all utterly boring
Season 2 Jenkins: Cassandra, Ezekiel, and Eve are alright
Season 3 Jenkins: I will literally die for you all
Season 4 Jenkins: *Literally dies for them all*
Theres a head canon where Jacob Stone is one of Eliot's personas. Jacob meeting Ezekiel was hard because he had Parker screeching in his ear to punch him or to stab him.
Jacob doesn't want to stab him... Again. Ezekiel is a little concerned when he realises that Jacob looks a lot like a certain hitter.
“I heard you ran the nastiest crew on this side of the Atlantic”
I love that the Crew becomes legend in the Leverage universe. I love how they become CEO horror stories, classified files in government facilities, heroes in the purest sense of the word for people who need them.
As a viewer you get to see how human they are, how failable they are, how funny, how they can mess up but at the end of day, even we know, this is the nastiest crew not just they’re the best individually at what they do but because they help people.
Priest: Repeat after me.
Ezekiel: After me.
Priest, looking at Jacob: Are you sure you want to marry this one?

Could you possibly do one where Ezekiel is jealous of how friendly Jake and Slaten are. Please and thank you!
Ezekiel felt as though everything he knew was falling down around him. Sure, Jacob was allowed to have friends, but, this guy wasn’t from the library. This guy, Slaten, and Jake had been a thing way back when and he wasn’t sure he liked it.
He watched their fluid back and forth touches. He listened to their quips and come backs. He saw Slaten’s look; his look of wanting and longing.
“You ever see anything this beautiful in your life, Ezekiel?” Slater asked.
This pulled Ezekiel from his thoughts. “Uh, no. No, no, no.” He licked his lips slightly. “Except for the hope diamond.”
This caused Jake to elbow him. “As far as horses go,” Ezekiel continued, glaring at Jacob for a moment. “You’re aces.“After riding with Slaten to the hospital and realising the weird anomalies, Jacob pulled Ezekiel to the side.“Jealousy isn’t a good color on you, Darlin’,” Jacob grinned, wrapping his arms around Ezekiel.“Me? Jealous? As if, love,” Ezekiel muttered into his chest. “Was it that obvious?”Jacob only grinned. “You’re the only one for me. I hope you know that.”Ezekiel just grinned into his embrace.

Songs:
A million dreams: As kidsFlynn talks to Eve about all the dreams he has about their future. He shows her an abandoned house and they play around in it. Flash forward, Flynn comes to admit his love to her and she's done with finishing school. They get a home together in the city. He continues to talk to her about the future they'll have.
In between that and come alive, he looses his job, buys a museum and ends up turning it into a house of curiosities.
Come Alive: He's encouraging these people to be proud of their oddities. Charles Stratton is the first, followed by Cassandra, the bearded lady and the Lord of Leeds. Then that night during the show, there are a couple more acts. The trapeze artists, Ezekiel and a close friend Alec Hardison (this is foreshadowing for a oneshot I'm gonna write) soar through the air.
The other side: Flynn meets Jacob Stone, a rich man who writes plays and has his fathers inheritance. He offers him a drink and Jacob doesn't refuse. Flynn offers him a job, "take the key and see the other side." Jacob turns him down. "I'm okay with the uptown part I get to play. I don't need to see the other side." Flynn watches him go and stands to follow. "Is this how you spend your days, whiskey, misery, a lifetime of plays? No joy or laughter? I guess I'll lab it up to you~" Jacob joins him on the other side.
In between other side and never enough. He goes with Flynn to the circus and they end up in a boothe and comes fave of face wit a gorgeous, exotic man has he is flying on the trapeze. "Who is he?" "That's Ezekiel Jones, one of many trapeze artists. Though he is the best."
Still dumbstruck, he follows Flynn down the stairs and comes face to face with Ezekiel again. "Ezekiel, Alec, meet Jacob Stone. Hell be joining us from now on."
Ezekiel steps towards him, but Alec is staring him down. "What's your act, Mr. Stone?" His accent has Jacob even more dazed.
"I uh... Don't have an act." "Everyone's got an act."
Jacob manages to get the entire troupe to London to meet the queen. He still has connections even though he lost all his inheritance.
They met Nicole Noone and Flynn is awestruck by her. And maybe she can sing.
Never Enough- Nicole sings her opera about nothing being enough for her. Jacob stands with the troupe because he's come to respect them. During the part where she days take my hand. Share this moment with me, Jacob take Ezekiel's hand but drops it when people look back at them. Ezekiel walks away. (FYI they're back in America)
Before This is Me, Flynn I'd introducing Nicole to Eve. Then he brags to Eve's old family about being successful like her dad said he wouldn't. Then he leaves the troupe in the back hallways.
This is Me- Cassandra lifts everyone's spirits. They go into the room anyways. Then they go past the protesters outside the circus. The whole group going "I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies. This is me" At the protestors. Then it's showtime. They're singing. Ezekiel makes eye contact with Jacob in one of the rooms above the seats. "I make no apologies. This is me" And that's stomped into the ground.
Before rewrite the stars, Jacob goes to meet Ezekiel at the playhouse. Ezekiel us trying to refuse the two tickets. Jacob shows up. "I wasn't sure you'd show up if I had asked." They go in and are walking up the stairs, arm in arm. "Jacob?" It's his dad. He insults Ezekiel and caused him to run off. Jacob tells off his dad before going after Ezekiel.
"Who cares what they think?"
"You don't get it." Ezekiel looks ready to cry. "You've never been looked at they way your dad looked at me."
Rewrite the stars: Jacob talks about rewriting the stars. Ezekiel and him are meant to be. "You're my destiny." He's trying to keep Ezekiel down at his level as they talk, but he keeps going up into the air in the trapeze. Ezekiel talks about how it's not easy. How they can't be together. "No one can rewrite the stars." They both begin to do the trapeze together, but at the end, they're nearing a kiss and Ezekiel pulls away. "You know I want you, but we're bound to break and my hands are tied. "
Before tightrope: Jacob is trying to talk sense into Flynn about staying and not going on tour with Nicole. He's not listening. He never listens. Flynn is staying goodbye before climbing into a carriage with Nicole to go on tour.
Tightrope- Eve sings about everything she's ever done, she's done it to be with Flynn. "Life's an adventure with a breath taking view. Walking a tightrope with you."
Before from now on, Flynn almost kisses Nicole, then he does and reporters catch pictures of it. There's a fire when Flynn gets back. Jacob is helping the troupe out, but realizes Ezekiel isn't with them and runs back into the burning building. Ezekiel comes back out another way. Everyone is frozen in place. Flynn goes running into the building and Eve screams for him to come back. The building collapses. Then, Flynn emerges from the fire, dragging Jacob with him. He's badly burnt and wheezing.
Ezekiel sits with him in the hospital.
Eve finds out about the kiss and their marriage is ruined.
From now on: The troupe finds Flynn in a bar. "If you've come to get paid, it won't happen." "Mr Carson," Cassandra says. "You've brought happiness into our lives... What more could we want?"
They sing about how they'll be a family from now on. Flynn goes to make things right with Eve.
Before the greatest show, Jacob wakes up and Ezekiel finally kisses him. "You're here."
Flynn makes up with Eve. It was hard for her, but she truly loved him.
Flynn comes back from the bank. They won't loan him anymore. Jacob laughs. "You being who you are, I asked for my pay weekly. I put it aside."
"I can't take your money, Jacob." Flynn now tries to be humble. Ezekiel sees through it.
"Why now are you being humble, Mr. Carson?"
They talk about it, but they won't be able to get another building.
"I can get us some land by the docks. All we need is a tent."
They greatest show: They sing about how it's the greatest show. First it'd Flynn as the ringmaster, but half way through, he turns it over to Jacob. He runs into the ring. "This is the greatest show!"
Flynn runs home to be with Eve.
That's it. That's my au.
Side note I didn’t know there was a fandom for The Librarians??? Bitch count me in
