No salão com @natesoverall pra tumultuar

Como Nate havia se atrasado um pouco para encontrá-lo, Tommaso decidiu seguir até o salão de beleza de maneira despretensiosa. Alguns semideuses haviam acabado de deixar o espaço e o Beneviento estava propenso a se acomodar melhor nas cadeiras e começar a explicar o que queria fazer nos cabelos quando tudo aquilo aconteceu. Uma leve alteração do lado de fora, protestos que ele demorou um pouco para entender, como suas atendentes. Até que, através do espelho, garantiu que se tratava do pior: a figura de Nathaniel, chegando como o bom furacão que era, acusando algo sobre o cabelo dele. Não. O de Tommaso. Com toda a classe de quem estava particularmente acostumado a esse tipo de coisa, o filho de Tânatos pediu licença e só teve tempo de jogar ao ar, para tentar abreviar os questionamentos de quem estava ali, sobre quem era aquela figura loira e enfurecida da qual se aproximou do lado de fora. "É meu namorado. Só um momento." Então, diante de Nate, vendo outros semideuses adentrarem o espaço, Tommaso estreitou os olhos e tratou de puxar o amigo para um canto, pelo mesmo pulso onde o filho de Apolo ostentava pulseiras que combinavam com a sua. "O que 'tá acontecendo aqui? Eu estava te esperando até agora! O que deu em você, Soverall?"

I'm rewatching leverage out of nostalgia and some other emotion I haven't figured out yet, and I do think there's a story in "Maggie Ford Collins deals with having the most unhinged ex in her suburban book group, learns to hotwire a car, and gets her groove back, not in that particular order."

Can we talk about how Hardison was just straight up eating a bell pepper like it was an apple in “The French Connection Job”?

I mean:

Pure chaos gremlin right here.

[geeky-nightphilosopher]

I still can't get over how Eliot and Hardison do their "secret" handshake- even though Eliot is miffed that Hardison ate his sandwhich.

I still can't get over how Parker calls Eliot "Sparky," and he's scared enough to rip open his apple- because he actually thinks Parker somehow got a razor blade in it.

I still can't get over how Eliot tells Hardison that he won't help him if he goes to far with "Ice Man," and when Hardison calls him out on it- Eliot blames Parker.

I still can't get over how Hardison comes to Eliot when he needs help brushing up on wine.

I still can't get over how Parker goes to Eliot when she's looking for something to love and he teaches her to love food.

I still can't get over how Parker is allowed to poke and push Eliot.

I still can't get over how Hardison riles Eliot up and it's just reflex for Eliot to say; "DAMNIT Hardison."

I can't get over how they became a little family all on their own.

Roy and Ted having such obvious favorites amongst the players is kind of funny but who do we think are Beard and Nate’s favorites

Is “Goon” still ongoing? I freaking love that story and am curious if there’ll be more (whenever).

Yep! It's been giving me a real fight and I've scrapped the next chapter a few times now but I've still got a few more chapters in the works.

Hopefully the fast approaching hockey season is the inspiration I need to finish it up!

So glad you're enjoying it!

was thinking about leverage dnd classes and i think the obvious choice for sophie is bard, but i don't think that's quite right, because her whole thing is that she's NOT a very good actor. she's not an Artist, she's a grifter. i think one of the reasons why sophie struggles with acting is because then the goal is art/self-expression/a desire to communicate with and be seen by the world (something she has a whole crisis about) while the goal of grifting more readily aligns with her own (facilitating a con). like bards are ultimately a class that's about supporting/"inspiring" others through creative endeavors (getting stronger by improving your craft), while other charisma casters like warlocks are about power and ambition (getting stronger by selling your soul); but i think sophie's talents are closest to those of sorcerers, whose powers are more innate and something to be learned to be controlled. sophie's struggle isn't that she's not good enough at her job, but that maybe she's TOO good at it to the point she doesn't know who she is, and that her powers may in fact hurt others. if anything, she's a sorcerer carrying around a lute and charming her audience into clapping for her when her performance flops

Com o toque em seu queixo, Tommaso roçou de leve a barba rala e praticamente imperceptível por ser alguns tons mais clara que seus próprios cabelos, contra o dígito de Nate, na réplica da carícia que recebia. Em seguida, abandonou um beijo rápido na lateral da mão do mais novo, mordiscando-a levemente também enquanto contemplava as feições confusas dele. Adoraria saber responder com precisão àquele questionamento, mas na mente anuviada do Beneviento, pouca coisa era possível de ser vista com clareza, principalmente quando estava sendo constantemente assombrado pelos apagões repentinos e pelas sombras que estavam começando a ocupar aquele quarto quando estava se agitando demais. "Para qualquer lugar. Eu diria a Itália, mas minha mãe e meus parentes não me deixariam viver em paz lá." Soprou um novo riso, mesmo que sem humor, ao constatar aquilo. Sem contar com o fato de que sua mãe provavelmente tornaria-se obcecada por um filho de Apolo com poderes tão extravagantes quanto Nate... Mas só até o momento em que descobrisse que ele e Tommaso, de alguma maneira, eram mais do que amigos. Naquele caso, Angela realmente poderia perder as estribeiras facilmente: a ideia de partilhar o filho, o troféu, sua cobaia principal, era praticamente inaceitável. "Então... Sei lá. Qualquer lugar onde eu não corra o risco de ver você ou outras pessoas importantes pra mim morrendo por terem sido engolidas por uma fenda." Suspirou com certo pesar, movendo-se com cuidado na cama para poder alcançar o maço de cigarros na mesa ao lado. Vazio. Merda. "Espanha, talvez? França? Ou Marrocos, se quisermos nos aventurar um pouco mais." Brincou, usando da mão que estivera nos cabelos dele, para alcançar-lhe a nuca e afagá-lo na região agora. "Eu sei que eu ficaria bem em qualquer lugar se viesse comigo, por isso perguntei, mas também entenderia se me dissesse que não."

Soverall nunca imaginou que o chalé de Tânatos se tornaria seu maior lugar de conforto. A ferida que nunca se fecha no lábio inferior ainda dói, o cansaço reclama em diferentes partes de seu corpo — efeitos da maldição que não conseguiu se livrar. No entanto, com o toque suave dos dedos de Tommaso passando por seus cabelos, tem a impressão que nada fora daquele chalé poderia afetá-los enquanto permanecessem ali, como se estivessem protegidos por um feitiço que se quebraria no instante em que eles se separassem. Mesmo que aquele momento fosse motivado por circunstâncias maiores, era bom sentir que as coisas finalmente estavam bem entre eles, e Nathaniel não queria quebrar o encanto que mantinha a única coisa certa no lugar. Mas, como já devia esperar, ele se quebra mesmo assim. Quando algo sai de harmonia de repente, ele ergue o olhar até Tommaso, que parece tão distante nos próprios pensamentos que sente vontade de puxá-lo de volta. A ponta dos dedos alcança o queixo logo acima, o toque sutilmente conduzindo-o de volta. O jeito que ele falava lhe soava como uma despedida. Era basicamente a confissão que Tommaso pretendia abandoná-lo assim que ele virasse as costas. “Claro que eu vou” A resposta é firme e imediata, o cenho franzido e um ar ofendido na confusão em seu rosto. “Ir embora pra onde?”

Look I’m not saying I can match everyone in the coven with members of the Leverage crew…. But yeah I definitely can. And it’s not even a stretch. (The relationships don’t cross though.)

Secretly cares about everyone’s wellbeing, will absolutely not show it (except when they do)

Lilia ➡️ Sophie

Emotional center of the group

Teaches everyone how to deal with their feelings

Most experienced and takes the craft most seriously

Starts the show with a bad performance but quickly shows her real skills

Constantly saving the group

Most versatile knowledge & knowledge is their strength

You bet your ass I saved the best for last

Insane TM, but also misunderstood (what is she??)

Something’s wrong with that girl

Will stab you without thought or remorse

Has something to stab with on her person at all times

Appears out of nowhere

Probably the most powerful of them all, given a little time

Drives everyone else crazy in one way or another

Weird and specific interests

Nobody ever knows what’s going on in her head, don’t try, just go with it

Will growl/bark/make random noises at you and act like it’s normal

Bonus: Teen ➡️ Brianna

Baby queer

Are we… the bad guys?

Excited to be there tbh

Smart as hell and very good but still learning

Everyone else is at least a little parental toward them

[inthemoodforsomepretzels]

“he’s one of the guys who kept me from falling all the way down. now i’m asking the other one” PLEASE 😭 sobbing

[comphyjost]

just met someone at work from nova scotia who talked with me about nate (and sid) and said how much their small little province is so proud of those boys and that any time she watches hockey now especially the avs she’ll think of me 🥲🥲

[geeky-nightphilosopher]

"I'm glad you found a family." -Amiee

"W-what... those guys?" -Eliot sputtering

Yes, Eliot. Those guys. The very same guys who you couldn't walk away from. The same guys who get on your nerves- but for some reason you protect. Those guys who have you wrapped around their fingers. Who remind you that your smarter than you think.

Those guys as in;

Nate who needs protecting from himself.

Sophie who needs protecting from her past.

Hardison who needs protecting from his mind.

Parker who needs protecting from the monsters she's lived through but are still around.

You, Eliot- you big teddy bear- decided they were worth it. So you stayed for them. You sir, stayed because they needed you.

Those guys are your family.

the way the vets from nicks rookie era talk about him is extremely important to me
