About Heist
Assemble the crew, case the target, watch the plan fall apart at the worst moment — heist fic imports the caper genre's clockwork pleasures into any fandom. The con can be canon-typical or a full AU where everyone gets a criminal specialty.
Heists showcase competence, banter, and trust under pressure all at once, and the genre's mandatory twist — the plan within the plan — rewards rereading.
Common scenarios: A crew stealing back an artifact from the museum that stole it first, or a one-last-job story where the real complication is the safecracker's ex on the same crew.
