The Diamond District Job

Rating: M

Pairing: Sophie Devereaux/Eliot Spencer; Alec Hardison/Parker

Words: 2477

Summary: After a long and exhausting con, Sophie and Eliot have earned a little time for themselves. At least in their opinion.

"That one, Eliot–” the tall elegant brunette indicated with a quick nod of her head. “Isn't it marvelous?" 

Eliot studied the ring in the shop window. "Really? That one?" He already knew the answer. Sophie's eyes were gleaming with the same light as when she spotted a work of art she wanted.

Now she fake pouted. "You said I could have whatever I wanted as a reward after the job. Putting up with that greasy land developer should be worth at least as much as that ring." 

"It's not the price...." Eliot sighed, took her arm, opened the door, and escorted her inside. He muttered under his breath, "But next time you need to punch someone, either spin it around so the ring is inside your fist or take it off first." 

"Oh, Eliot," Sophie murmured with a grin. "I'm a grifter. When I do my job right, I don't ever need to punch anyone." 

Eliot opened his mouth to remind her of what had just happened to the "greasy developer", when she raised a graceful hand in his direction to stop him. Raising her voice so that it carried proudly throughout the small shop, she clarified. "When I punch a man, Eliot Spencer, it's because I bloody well wanted to."

Leverage - 1x13 The Second David Job

[churchofthecomet]

Sophie grifting: hot duchess. seductive investor. mysterious businesswoman.

Eliot grifting: ridiculously competent chef. hot athlete (any sport). heartthrob country musician.

Hardison grifting: overly-confident criminal. assertive FBI agent. heartthrob classical musician.

Nathan Ford grifting: goddamn piece of shit oily slimy scumbag ambulance-chaser untrustworthy con artist with a stupid fucking voice and a silly hat

the show is not doing Nate any favors in the likeability or attractiveness departments here

(Bonus mention: Parker grifting: autism creature)

I love the Leverage episodes where they're truly just psychologically tormenting a guy.

Like obviously they first establish that the guy is a terrible guy who does terrible guy things. And we really do need the terrible guy to be doing a lot of terrible guy things because this is kinda an ethical nightmare, but don't worry, they are reliably doing a lot of terrible guy things.

But then it is just like "hey, let's convince this guy that he's made first contact with aliens and also that aliens are trying to kill him" or "hey, let's make this guy believe he's contracted a deadly disease and is going to die in quarantine because medical staff are abandoning him" or "hey, let's first try to persuade this journalist that the government is secretly creating Guantanamo Bay 2: Underground Boogaloo in your backyards and when she doesn't run with that story, let's then make her think that oops the government accidentally leaked some kind of bioweapon into the waterways and now water is gonna kill you instead."

i <3 when parker appears out of thin air

[shitpostingkats]

I forgot how hilarious The Juror #6 job is. The episode opens with Nate trying to socialize his crime daughter by having her do civil service. "There is not some evil conspiracy lurking behind the curtain of every routine civic activity." *four minutes later* "Uh, apparently there is an evil conspiracy lurking behind the curtain of every routine civic activity." Brent Spiner plays a hippie spiritualist pharmacist. We have to get Parker from thinking hiding knives in food is a good prank to having her charm an entire room of people. The kids leave for the day and Nate and Sophie line up at the door; they hand Hardison his briefcase, Parker her sacked lunch, and they present Eliot with the exciting news that today is the day he is going to be hit with a car.
