liberteaandjusticeforall: I love how Eliot isn’t really offended when you hit him or point a gun at him (for the most part) but if you touch Parker or put a gun in the general vicinity of Hardison it is GAME OVER for you my friend HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY HACKER AND MY THIEF well… Continue reading
Oh Leverage <3s my OT3… posted because trailofdesire needs to see this vid. Also because everyone else out there who’s fond of Leverage should as well.
liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike. let’s talk about their reactions here? because i 100% believe in my filthy trash bin of a heart that this episode was the point of no return for parker and eliot both, the point at which they both realised holy shit i am in way over my head.
look at those reactions. like, it’s not simple relief, it’s relief and *total fucking whelm*. and neither eliot nor parker has–allowed themselves, maybe, the relative luxury of just thinking about what someone means to them. because it’s always been a liability. for eliot, caring too much about people would just be something that someone could use against him; for parker, it’s what archie’s cautioned her against a million times: we don’t get involved.
and worse for both of them, really, is that they’re not–not too caught up in a job, not too wrapped up in their own reputations or…or things that could be forgivable, really. things that they could realise and chide themselves for and then pull back from, do better. no, instead they’re both of them way overinvested in another person, in a person who could be hurt, who could be taken from them because they weren’t good enough or fast enough or–or just because sometimes you lose.
parker and eliot have always been aware of when they should cut their losses and get out. but this–this isn’t an acceptable loss. maybe neither of them can say the word love just yet, even to themselves, but this is where they realise it.
hardison doesn’t die, but he comes back to life anyhow, and when he does, the whole world changes.
I guess the whole point of this episode was to show us we wouldn’t need to worry Sophie and Nate were gone, that, no matter how hard the case was going to be, that the three of them could handle it as long as they were together, that they are grown enough to make things work and are capable of giving each other courage even in the scariest of situations.
And in the end, somehow, that made me feel better.
theladyragnell: DEFINITELY Y. I think you are about the third person to mention this to me, actually, and I approve more every time. I also feel like it doesn’t even really need to be an AU. Just Eliot one day is like “hey I got a call from an old friend let’s go take down… Continue reading Leverage trio in the star wars universe… y/y
theladyragnell: DEFINITELY true. Hardison is an easy-going guy. Sure, you push him, he pushes back, maybe you’ll get a virus on your computer or your wife will find your browser history in her e-mail, but ohhh man. You hurt Eliot and Parker and he will RUIN YOUR LIFE. You will be begging for jail.
theladyragnell: So carefully. I mean, can you imagine Parker with a name or a mark or words or a timer on her, not doing everything she could to avoid being tied down? Can you imagine Eliot not being self-sacrificing, given those same things? Can you imagine Hardison, who Nate Ford says has a problem with… Continue reading How do you think a Leverage OT3 soulmate AU would work?
