Does anyone know of a leverage fic where Eliot does kill Moreau during season 3 before the team can get too close?

Like, in Big Bang Job, he says he was trying "to figure out a way around this, all right, maybe take my shot before--"

So he definitely considered it, even if it didn't work out that way. Does anyone know of a fic where they explore what would have happened if he had succeeded?

Cause like, Nate is not just gonna leave things lie if the big mark mysteriously dies before they can take him down. He's going to obsess about what happened.

And how would Eliot even explain his absence to the team anyways? Not just his alibi after the fact, but where does he tell them he's going when he first leaves town? How does he come back and act like everything is normal? Does he get back before the news and have to pretend nothing happened in front of Nate and Sophie, notoriously good people readers? Or does someone call him on his way home to tell him that Moreau is dead and he needs to come in to help figure things out?

How hard does Nate push them to solve this case? Are they worried a rival who might be even worse ordered it?

Do Parker and Hardison start noticing he's acting weird while Nate is distracted with the case and Sophie is distracted with Nate? Does Hardison find anything suspicious in his hacking about Eliot's movements that day? Does Parker, who tracks the rate people blink per hour and knows what they're all supposed to smell like and catalogs every tiny mannerism even if she has trouble contextualizing them, does she notice any changes in Eliot recently?

How does Eliot feel about it? He did it. He protected the team. He finally escaped Moreau for good. But he broke his oath, he killed again, he technically killed in cold blood no matter how dangerous and willing to kill them the victim may have been. And he can't tell his team, because they may know he killed in the past, but they don't want a hitter who is going to spend his weekends committing murder and making them complicit by not stopping him. And he can't tell them because they would demand an explanation, which would lead to how much danger they really had been in so very far above their league, which would lead to how he knows this so surely and intimately, which would lead to working for Moreau, and the Worst Thing.

Like, there's just so much potential there, so does anyone know of any fics that explore this premise?

The Emoji Game

Lisa decided to play a little game with the Undersiders, she asked them to pick an emoji that made them think of Taylor and then she went to show Taylor the results.

Lisa: Are you ready?

Taylor: No

Lisa: Awesome! Let's go... First, *she shows on her laptop screen the name of the person and the emoji they chose* Let's see what Taylor chose for Taylor.

Taylor, deadpan: Wow

Lisa: Taylor chose.... [fake drum rolls] THE SPIDER WEB! Yay! Now, why do you think Taylor chose the spider web?

Taylor, dry chuckle: I think Taylor picked this one because of her powers

Lisa: Alright, now tell us the real reason you chose this for Taylor

Taylor:

Taylor: Because of my powers

Lisa, patting Taylor's hair: You are so creative

Lisa: NEXT. Let's see what Brian chose for Taylor [fake drum roll] It's the Night Sky! Awwww. Why do you think he picked that for Taylor?

Taylor: Hm... I think because my powers work better at night and I can camouflage easily in the moonlight, so he thought it was the best scenario for Skitter

Lisa: Brian, now tell us the reason you chose the Night Sky emoji for Taylor

Brian: One day we were talking and she spoke of how vast the universe is, it came out of her so easily and so naturally, it stuck with me and made me think of how incredible her mind is and what else she might be keeping from us, whatever it is I'm sure is amazing and beautiful

Lisa: AAAWWWWW, that was the most neurodivergent flirt I ever heard

Taylor: *covering her face, in social pain*

Brian, blushing hard: Fuck you, Lisa

Lisa: Cuties.

Lisa: NEXT. Let's see what Regent chose.

Taylor, breathing more easily now: Let's, please

Lisa: Regent chose.... The worm! Now why do you think-

Taylor: Next. I don't wanna know.

Regent, proud of himself: *screeches from the background*

Lisa: Okay. Next it's Imp! She chose... The superhero emoji. Aw, that's nice.

Taylor, suspicious: That is nice. I'm confused.

Imp: It's because you're a hero at heart. Ya know? Deep, deep, DEEP inside. Getting deeper by the second. But still a hero.

Taylor: ...Thanks

Imp: *heart you* You go, little bug hero

Lisa: And nooow we haaave. Bitch! Bitch picked the... Shirt emoji!

Taylor: Oh, this one I know. She lent me a shirt once, it was cold and she noticed I wasn't faring very well. It was thoughtful.

Lisa: Adorable. Bitch, why you picked the shirt emoji for Taylor?

Bitch: Because she wears the shirt.

Lisa:

Taylor:

Lisa: Is it a special kind of shirt?

Bitch: No. She just wears the shirt.

Lisa: Okay

Taylor: *feeling embarrassed* Nevermind.

Lisa: Very practical, Bitch, thanks for playing along

Taylor: Let's move on, please

Lisa: Now, do you want to see which emoji did Lisa pick for Taylor? *eyebrow wiggle*

Taylor: I'm ready.

Lisa, very excited: THE SPARKLY PINK HEART EMOJI ✨✨✨ YOHOO

Taylor: Aw

Lisa: Why do you think Lisa picked this one?

Taylor: Because she knows we have a powerful bond

Lisa: Which kind of bond?

Taylor: A strong one.

Lisa, impatient: Naturally.

Regent and Imp: *laughing so hard they just drop on the ground*

Lisa: *take Taylor's glasses away, cleans, then put them back* Try again

Taylor: What's cleaning my glasses suppose to accomplish?

Lisa: *aggressively pointing at the screen, like a tired teacher* What kind of bond do we have, Taylor?

Regent and Imp, in the back: *making naughty gestures trying to help Taylor*

Taylor: Love.

Lisa: Yes. What kind?

Taylor: Uhh... A strong-

Lisa: We've established it is a strong one already, Taylor.

Taylor: *despair*

Lisa: DO WE KISS ON THE MOUTH, TAYLOR?

Taylor: Yes!

Lisa: THEN WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE BOND, TAYLOR?!

Taylor: *shaking, too nervous* A-ah Friendship?

Lisa: AAAAAAAAAA

Imp and Regent: *smacking each other as they laugh to their deaths*

Taylor, trying again: SISTERS!!!

Brian: Oh, no...

Taylor, whimpering and hiding: I'm not good at this game...

Lisa: *aiming a gun to herself*

Brian: That's enough *takes away the gun* Everybody to bed.

Malec AU (slightly inspired by John Wick)

For years the criminal underworld of New York knew to be on guard, to always look over the shoulder, to never let their guard down. Because no one was safe from never becoming a target of the world's greatest merc. When whispers spread about said merc retiring, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Until some upstart kidnapped the merc's boyfriend. Now the bad guys are scrambling to find and free the boyfriend, before the merc can come knocking at their door, asking questions.

U-Um....👉👈 I'm really shy about sharing my music with others. Consider yourself very lucky, Mr. H. But here's a glimpse into my brain and what I'm like, I guess. I also write poetry sometimes. Just let me know if you want more music recommendations or freestyle poetry...

[werewolfsmile]

re: "All I’m saying is the fact that someone isn’t talking to me about Eliot Spencer every second of every day is very unfair and borderline illegal." & tags - if you want to, can you elaborate on your werewolf!eliot ideas?? i’d like to hear about it!! if not all good tho :)

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Yes I would love to elaborate! (buckle up because i have Thoughts)

(wow this really got away from me so uhhh .... warning for 2k of ranting about Eliot as a werewolf?? list of headcanons under the cut)

From the moment I first met Eliot Spencer, I knew he was werewolf-coded. Aside from his insanely fantastic fighting abilities and the absurd amount of punishment he can take, there are many other factors that contribute to his werewolf status.

Eliot needs a pack Our boy is out here working on his own for years and look at all the good it did him! None! He carries severe trauma from his family life because he blames himself for how it all went down and doesn't think he'll be welcomed back. Plus something probably happened during his military days or early PMC days to put him off working with others. Could have been the pain of losing people all the time, could have been something more. Either way, Eliot working on his own is a defence mechanism - but a self-destructive one.

Wolves thrive in packs - like duh, they're pack animals. As my username suggests, I'm into werewolves and, by extension, wolves. I've done research for my own werewolf novels in the past, so I know that in an average wolf pack, each pack member will have physical contact with the other pack members on the regular. Like, several times an hour! (gosh if I can find the research paper this info came from I'll link it but honestly it's been years) That's a serious level of physical contact required to keep the emotional bonds of the pack healthy!

Flick back to Eliot. He loves to fight, he loves the violence and the pain, yes. He hates the killing and the blood on his hands. He actually tries to leave the assassin world behind after he meets Toby (which is before he meets Moreau, as per early dialogue in The French Connection Job). He bonds quickly with Toby. Show Eliot a little love and care and he's yours for life! He moves onto retrieval work, then somehow ends up working for Moreau.

Now, when we see Eliot and Moreau in The Big Bang Job, Moreau says, "You work alone." Which means that Eliot had that reputation when he came to Moreau. He probably only took contracts to start off with. But he accepted job after job from Moreau and was so good that he was highly respect and it's inferred he ended up as Moreau's top bodyguard/assassin. Why the hell would Eliot end up that close to a man who brings out all the worst in him? Because Eliot's a werewolf and no matter how toxic, Moreau fulfills the need for a pack bond that he's been missing all this time.

Fast forward to Eliot meeting the rest of the Leverage team. One job only - my ass. He saves Hardison's life after Hardison brought a gun to their little meeting - and we all know how Eliot feels about guns.

Wolves are designed to live and operate in packs. Eliot says it's one job only but is bonding with them all from the get-go. Werewolf trait confirmed.

Eliot needs physical touch Now, I know what you're thinking. Eliot canonically avoids physical contact with the team. He refuses hugs, especially from Hardison, growls at Parker poking his bruises (don't get me started on the growls), and shoves people (ahem Parker) out of his personal space. So why would he do all this if he needs physical touch??

Because he's one gigantic ball of angst and self-loathing and guilt.

Eliot doesn't think he deserves forgiveness or love or family, etc. That is a whole other rant, but he denies himself the physical contact he needs with others as a way of punishing himself.

However, as the series progresses, we see him become more comfortable with physical contact! He hugs Hardison several times, he doesn't move away from Parker, etc. Why? Because he's bonded with this team (ahem pack) and there's only so much he can suppress his instincts. The more time he spends with them, the more naturally the contact flows.

Eliot needs to protect others Whenever we get a scene of the team walking as a group, where is Eliot positioned 90% of the time?? That's right, at the back of the group. He lets the others walk in pairs and falls back to bring up the rear. He's keeping them all in his line of sight and constantly scanning for threats ahead, along with protecting the team from any rear attacks. It makes sense for him to do this given his military background, but it also makes sense for a werewolf to do this.

He's the only werewolf in the team. His instincts revolve around keeping the pack safe and protected, so he does that in the best way he knows how.

Not to mention how feral gets over kids!!

Wolf life is all about the pack and the family structure. Pups are integral to the pack's survival and future. Eliot doesn't have kids of his own. But that doesn't stop his instincts from blaring every time he interacts with a kid, be it on the con or off. He takes time out every time to help that kid in an attempt to calm the raging storm of instincts inside his body.

Eliot needs to feed others It's another werewolf instinct that rears its head when they're in the safety of their headquarters (ahem den). Protecting the team/pack from physical threats is just one aspect of taking care of them. Feeding them is the other major one.

None of these idiots can cook to save their lives - except Nate, but he's also drowning his liver 90% of the time, so Eliot has to compensate for that, too. The team can't operate at full capacity if they're not consuming good nutrition. So Eliot makes sure to feed them.

His humanity recognises that these are independent people - coworkers - and he can't control every meal of every day. But he can cook for them, once a week or once a job, which is just enough to satisfy his instincts that he's doing his part to care for them. Plus they love his cooking, and the praise he gets from it is an unexpected but pleasant bonus.

Eliot and team sports/kitchens This ties in with my first point about Eliot needing a pack, but all the times we see Eliot go super hard and get absorbed in the role he's playing are when he's on a team sport or he's in the kitchen. Both of these fulfill super important instincts for him - being in a team/pack and providing food for others.

Think about The Tap-Out Job. Eliot's playing a fighter but he's not pretending to be on a team. He doesn't get over-invested in the role. But what about when he's a baseball player? A hockey player? He falls into those roles hard because he's working with another team again, and this little werewolf is built for that environment. Same in The French Connection: the kitchen becomes his den, the students are his pack mates, and he goes hard at investing in them and protecting them. Never mind the personal aspect of Toby.

Same for episodes like The Fairy Godparents Job when we get a scene of Eliot teaching a bunch of girls self-defence. Team setting + protecting kids = happy werewolf instincts.

So, werewolf headcanons? I have a lot of different origin theories but the main one I like for Eliot is:

he became a werewolf either for a covert military op, or was bitten by Moreau (choose your own angst flavour)

if it was for the military, they were trying to engineer supersoldiers and he was deemed a failure; he has werewolf instincts all the time but only has enhanced strength, healing, etc on full moons

if it was bitten by Moreau, there's a psychic-style bond linking them, which is why he was so loyal to Moreau for so long, and also why he is so reluctant to go after Moreau

(wow this is too different theories already and i said this was my 'main one' whoops)

Eliot can only shift easily on the full moon; shifting outside of a full moon can only be caused by extreme stress and is ridiculously painful

he suffers an insanely high prey drive all the time and is so strict about his control because he doesn't actually wanna rip out the throat of Random Guard #3

he used to chain himself up for full moons so he didn't hurt anyone, but since the team found out about him, Hardison and Parker have taken it upon themselves to 'puppy-sit' him every full moon

this involves no chains but an obscene amount of dog chew toys. Eliot is never impressed. He also never chases or chews the toys. The video evidence Hardison has was obviously doctored.

Hardison and Parker found out the truth when a con went sideways and Eliot was trapped in a room with them during the full moon

he was terrified he was going to kill them - or worse, bite them - but his instincts recognised them as pack so instead he just tried to wrestle with them all night

Hardison had a major freak out when he discovered Eliot was a werewolf - it's one thing to be obsessed with sci-fi/fantasy, it's another thing entirely to see your best friend transform before your eyes

Parker was not even remotely phased, being all like, "pfft of course werewolves are real, I thought you knew that Hardison, you talk about your elves and orcs all the time!"

"Woman that is completely different and you know it!"

"What else do you think is fake? The tooth fairy?? Ha!"

Eliot is Done With Their Shenanigans

Parker only ever refers to Eliot as Sparky when he's in his wolf form

Sophie didn't actually know about werewolves before the reveal but she pretends that she did

Nate knew about werewolves before Eliot, he just chooses to pretend that they're Not A Thing

werewolves generally don't make good hitters, because the constant exposure to violence ramps up their hunting instincts aka they find it hard not to kill

of course, this doesn't matter if you're someone like Moreau who specifically wants killing machines and thus turns his top hitters into werewolves, to ensure loyalty and enhance his strength

the only other werewolf hitter not under Moreau's control that Eliot knows is Quinn, who most certainly did not pull his werewolf strength punches when they tousled in The First David Job

Quinn doesn't have a pack (werewolf or otherwise) and genuinely doesn't seem phased by this, which pisses off Eliot to no end

however, after they work together in The Last Dam Job, Quinn deems himself Eliot's Best Werewolf Bud and keeps popping up randomly to hang out on full moons, etc

Parker and Hardison are a bit weirded out (and a little jealous) of Quinn's attention initially, but soon get over that when they discover that two werewolves on a full moon absolutely play for hours like 6 month old puppies - especially with the tug rope

Eliot is Extremely Susceptible to belly rubs even in his human form, which is half the reason he pushes people out of his personal space a lot - his reputation would never survive anyone finding out

of course the entire team figures it out and take to ambushing him with belly rubs whenever he's being stubborn or annoying

belly rubs are also the only way he will relax enough when he's injured so they can treat his wounds

despite the incessant dog jokes, the ever-growing pile of dog toys, and the bowls labelled with "Sparky" and cartoon bone symbols ... Eliot absolutely adores the pack he's found himself in and wouldn't change them for the world

One of these days I will sit down and write a thousand fics for werewolf!Eliot! Till then, I'll just keep churning out the headcanons ;)

Hi hi !! I'm new to Tumblr so I've got no idea how this actually works... but I really want to find people to share my interests with and if I keep not being able to talk to anyone about them I'm going to explode.

So, here's something I've been working on: I've asked my followers on insta what they wanted me to draw and someone asked me for Alec Hatsune / Miku Hardy so I started drawing just that !

I'll post the progression of this shitpost as I go, but yes, that means you'll get to see Alec cosplaying as Miku. (I love having free will)

Bye bye !! :D

Consider:

Harry walks in on Parker kissing Eliot to comfort him (or vice versa) and he backs out of the room in a panic because this poor precious child is unaware of polyamory and the leverage OT3. So, in support of the Bro Code, he goes to Breanna and asks her to send a message to Hardison so he can talk to him.

Now Breanna, the wonderful little sis she is, asks Harry what’s so important that he feels the need to contact Hardison immediately. So Harry confesses that he just saw Parker cheating on Hardison with Eliot and that he needs to tell Hardison about it.

You cannot tell me that Breanna, our gay ace gen Z icon, is not aware of her brother being in a polyamorous relationship. And okay yes, maybe she “accidentally” found evidence of their relationship when she “accidentally” hacked into their phones but that’s hardly her fault. That was just the proof for her suspicions.

Back to Harry. Breanna is just holding back laughter at Harry’s obliviousness and of course she’s here for the drama (and listening to Hardison rant about the interruption) so she sets up a video call with Hardison, secretly sharing the video screen to the room Eliot and Parker are in.

So Hardison shows up on the call, visibly busy with lots of chaos and going ons behind him and is all, “Breanna, what’s wrong?”

And then Harry is all, “Hardison, I gotta tell you something” and tells him what he saw and is very apologetic that he’s informing Hardison that his girlfriend is cheating on him.

Hardison stares into the camera like he’s on The Office, visibly annoyed before going “Really man? Really??? You interrupt me while i’m dealing with [lists like five things he’s got going on right now] for this?”

And then turns to Breanna and says, “You let him call me for this?”

And she gives no fucks about it and just shrugs and is all “I thought it would be funny.”

Now Harry is growing more and more confused and he’s like, “Umm excuse me, are we just ignoring the whole girlfriend cheating on you thing?”

At this point, Parker drops in from the ceiling or something behind Harry and is like, “It’s not cheating when they’re both my boyfriend.”

And Eliot also pops up and says, “I should hope I’m able to kiss my girlfriend when our boyfriend isn’t around to kiss us.”

After Harry recovers from his mini heart attack after getting startled twice by Parker and Eliot, he’s like, “Cool, cool. Wait, what??”

But Eliot and Parker have already wandered off and Hardison is distracted with his stuff and Breanna shrugs at Harry before picking up her laptop and leaving to go catch up with Hardison while she has him on the call. So Harry is left standing there in confused but supportive spirit.

How you do? I just wanna know if you take any requests and if you do can you make a fanfic of Logan howlett (wolverine) x top male reader like they’re both either mutants or they met at a bar or were childhood friends like the best of friends and one night something happens that changes how Logan perceives reader and so they end up fucking

Hello my little love!! I don’t currently take any requests :(( but even if I did I’ve moved on from Wolverine so even if my request were to be open I wouldn’t be able to write them I’m sorry love:((

However I have to say you got my mind spinning with ideas of dads best friend who’s met you every once a while always seen you in your worst moments somehow like in your angsty teen phase or when you spend early twenties holed up in your dads basement refusing to interact with the world he never thought you’d make anything out of yourself not that he’d ever tell u that but one night he comes over for dinner, your dads celebrating some business deal or whatever achievement it is and he’s forced you in a suit and you look good he can’t help but notice but he also feels ridden with guilt because you’re his friends son he’s practically seen you grow up yet he can’t stop his cock from getting hard has to rush off to the tiny bathroom to jerk off helll maybe he even sneaks to ur room steals a shirt and jerks off with his face burried in the material

undersiders + boba orders

taylor: black tea w milk foam .. lisa might think at first that she’s sticking to her more plain rigid tastes bc she’s staying inside her box & try to get her to order something more fun or coax her into taking a sip of hers but she realises p quickly that this is just what taylor likes .. she sips blissfully

brian: classic thai milk tea w pearls .. secretly he enjoys the pearls but he tries to act kind of disdainful abt it bc aisha is always nagging him to buy her boba & he cannot succumb .. so he only orders whenever the rest r ordering .. he sips w the finicky coyness of an orphaned lamb being fed hay out of a farmer’s palm

lisa: iced wintermelon latte w standard sweetness + extra ice .. possibly a jasmine milk tea w pearls

rachel: doesn’t like the pearls bc they r too chewy but she will eat them still if they r in her drink .. might just get some kind of iced tea

aisha: taro milk tea w extra sweetness + extra ice .. as stated above she likes to obnoxiously nag brian to get her boba & he’s always like 😐 but one time when he is coming back from a shift he sees a boba place & comes home w her exact order & she is so extremely startled bc she knows he’s thinking of her but doesn’t know he’s thinking of her in a way that takes her into account as a whole real person w her own likes & dislikes & interiority rather than as an amorphous figure of a sister that he has conscripted himself into eternally protecting .. she never forgets it but never brings it up again

alec: idk abt flavour but i do think he might like milk foam .. possibly jasmine ?
