Fics like open sesame

“Do a trick.” She blinks, more than slightly startled, her struggle ceasing for a moment under the force of her bewilderment. In her defense, she’s still being held by a hand that feels like it could snap her wrist like a twig just by squeezing too hard, so she thinks she has a right to be a little confused. Also the words make no goddamn sense. “What?” She asks blankly, giving another testing tug against the hold. No dice. His grip doesn’t go tighter, but neither is he anywhere close to letting go. “You’re out here doing magic and shit so you can steal from the crowd, right? Do some magic if you want the money.” She gives him an incredulous look. “Dude, I just tried to,” she’s suddenly aware that they are in public and that she and Riley will likely need this section of the park in the future, “rob you,” she says in a low hiss. “And now what? You want a fucking show?” “You want the money? You ain’t stealing it from me. Do a trick and earn it, fair and square.” (modern verse AU in which joel and ellie meet after she tries to pickpocket him)
