#hedgi's weird crossovers

[hedgiwithapen]

For the fandom ask:

Leverage and Scooby Doo.

I mean, the villains in Scooby Doo are always like. rich people trying to profit, or formerly rich people scrambling to hold on to wealth and power, so on the one hand, the scooby gang investigating a mystery on the same property that the leverage crew is conning the owner of.... but on the other hand, the scooby gang investigating the mystery specifically of, like, the close encounter job or paranormal hackivity job could be very, very fun. they keep screwing up each other's plans. Shaggy eats all of Eliot's snacks.

status update

i never fucking talk on here. lol. 

here’s some shit going on

1. im 27. life has stopped doing shit because i dont have a degree and im too mentally ill to really move on that but its okay because im pretty content with this mediocre life. wish i had more money but like its gold. 

2. jessica jones s2 was kind of really disappointing for me. like it really bought into that whole your family is who youre born to rather than the people who act like family shit. that’s disappointing. also from a narrative standpoint? disappointing.

3. here on irish stereotype day i, ripley mcallister, am drunk. shocking. 

4. i have finally found a movie i will cave into the hype machine for. i usually avoid it because you risk getting into phantom menace syndrome, but guys im so hype for infinity wars

5. spider-quest continues. i’ve made it to avx. gonna keep on chug chug chugging along. 50 years of spidey comics. oy vey

6. i got my front tooth fixed, so that’s baller

7. other marvel shit im reading rn

thunderbolts: i’m at ross ‘bolts right now. not a fan. too hedgy (hedgehog edgy [shadow]) for me. i like flash and i guess deadpool is okay

runaways: i dont have strong feelings but enjoy runaways 

tales of suspense - hawkeye and the winter soldier: love that. on my pull list. still dont know what happened to nat. dipshit this is what happens when your exposure to comics is reading spider-man from the beginning. 

ms. marvel: need to read more. i love kamala tho

young avengers: read v1. got confused trying to read v2 and need to read more. will eventually. think i figured out what confused me

amazing spider-man- renew your vows: still love this

x-men blue: almost dropped this title until the venom crossover storyline, which is weird because i usually find venom kind of annoying

invincible iron man: i do not trust at all the fact that dan slott is going to be put on this title, because i know what he’s done with mary jane before and its usually not too great and i really don’t trust him with riri. 

8. black panther was good. maybe not my favorite marvel movie, but one of the ones i just outright enjoyed a lot.

For fandom ask:

Percy Jackson and Librarians

And/or

Percy Jackson and Leverage

look, the Librarians is much better suited like... genre wise. or like, au with team leverage being demi gods. but I also do love the line in my head ' lets go steal mount olympus' and i think they could pull it off. demi god stuff though, Hardison I think is a child of Athena (all that tech and genius) with Nana being a Demi goddess in her own right, possibly one who was never claimed but has sworn to serve Hestia, possibly also she works at Camp or has a Safehouse house for demigods somewhere? Parker is obviously a Hermes child, there's no question of that. He's probably quick to claim her, and is too impressed with her skills to even be all that mad when she doesn't really put all that much stock into being claimed. (I think he did send Archie, another of his children, to help her out) Sophie I want to say is Apollo's child -- drama and all. He's vaguely disappointed she clearly did not inherit the musical talent, and probably doesn't claim her at least not until the equivalent of season 5. Eliot is an Ares kid, much as he grows less comfortable with it. violence fits under his skin. Nate's mother is Nemesis. It suits him well, and she claimed him after his first "justice or order' type con. something something something, minor prophecy for the 5 of them going on a Quest together, idk. (for redemption, Breanna is Hephaestus's kid and Harry is a straight up Mortal who accidentally rules-laywered his way into being able to see through the mist and is very confused but excited to be helping!)

Leverage Redemption + the Librarians?

(some of this from comments made by members of the dnd group, either you or tova or isi I cannot recall who) the Librarians get sent on a clipping book mission (something akin to the Horns of the Minotaur episode, a company using an artifact for evil) around the same time the leverage crew is tackling things at that same company. right before they go, Jenkins mentions something about Doppelgangers. hilarity ensues as the librarians Do Not Believe that Eliot is his own person, very confused as to why this doppelganger (??) isn't like. reading as magical or trying to sabotage them? Parker and Ezekiel recognize each other on sight and there's some very minor Cat Hissing type 'oh, world's greatest thief huh?' but then it turns out they Know Each Other from when they were kids and are glad to see each other. Harry is Delighted by everything this is all so cool!!! they are working their own cases/ missions pretty separately but do need to team up eventually in the end to get the artifact and take down the company, with Jake and Eliot just SO wary about the other, Eliot because of [ spoiler redacted i know my followers haven't all seen his Leverage Redemption s2 episode but if you have you know what I'm talking about] and Jake because /that's a fucking doppelganger??? stealing my face???/ but getting along in the end. and then when the librarians get home Jenkins is like ' what? no, I took care of the doppelganger thing right before you left. 'so the Mystery Remains.

Batfam plus and/or versus any two (2) Leverage peeps

I feel like team leverage avoids Gotham, just... you know, they know what's up in there and it's not their problem. let the vigilantes handle it. they looked into Bruce Wayne once as a potential Mark and then went ' holy shit this guy's actually a decent person, how about that.' well, most of the team did, Eliot twigged that he's Batman instantly and decided not to say anything about it but did discourage further being in Gotham. Hardison agrees, this place is so fucking cursed. Inevitably, a con leads them there. idk who or how but it does. Eliot and Alfred know each other. they will never elaborate on how, but they know each other. Oracle and Hardison get into a hacking war that neither of them are going to win by virtue of the other will never give up, but then they recognize the other's hacking signatures. Oracle wants to know /why they're in her town/ and Hardison would like to get his team some /backup please/ and inevitably they have to work together to defeat some villain.

Avatar the Last Airbender and Leverage

I wanna say it's gotta be set in the avatar verse? possibly an alt verse where the War went very differently (like, the cycle didn't go fire-air-water-earth, so aang wasn't the avatar and the war had to start with a more traditional approch instead of ambushing pacifists?) possibly post korra future? idk. Parker's CLEARLY an airbender. Eliot has some bending-- earth, I think-- but almost exclusively fights without it being apparent. same as leverage, i think, in the sense of the stakes are small. group of criminals (and one honest man) picking up where the law leaves off and wow there's a lot of little gaps in the law! Hardison is going to invent so much cool stuff (he has absolutely been to that Library) Nate was going to be a monk or a sage or something and it didn't take. he's the only nonbender in the group. Sophie ... might be the avatar. or might not be! She's not telling. :)

[hedgiwithapen]

happy birthday hedgi! here’s a crossover for you: spiderverse and leverage

oooh that's a tricky one. I don't think any of team leverage is spider-person material. but i can see them getting involved in a case that tangentially involves a Spiderperson--maybe exposing corruption, maybe they're protecting a journalist, maybe they get involved in fighting a supervillain when a run of the mill CEO turns out to be more than run of the mill... anyways, them being there Complicates things, and a Strike Team from HQ has to go and Parker steals herself a watch.... and wow! so cool! time for interdemensional crime!

[hedgiwithapen]

Um uhhhhh the Flash plus the Old Guard. Which we’ve done but only on discord I think

also recently for dammit hedgi day, where I did " cisco finds out he's immortal after wells kills him" which is great but also I'm a fan of " barry still resets the timeline, so cisco never dies, so no one finds out, old guard included, until like. season 5 or whenever Cicada or whoever was after vibe? so cicada kills cisco, for realsies, and everyone's very sad about it, and then uh. the old guard does what they do cisco is not thrilled to be kidnapped. "first death's the hardest," Nile says, knowingly Cisco frowns. " no I think this is death... 4? " "...what" "yeah that was the 4th time I died. so are you gonna let me go or are my friends going to kick your asses?" anyways long story short Cisco decides to hang out with them after they help with the Cicada Problem, and Caitlin tags along because /just because you can heal doesn't mean it won't be useful to have a medic/

[hedgiwithapen]

Leverage + Books of Bayern

hitter, hacker, grifter, thief.... Enna, Conrad, Isi, Razo. Isi never reclaimed her name, (maybe Selia's war plan is delayed, maybe they didn't learn about the war until it was too late) but the Forest Workers are done with the injustices in Bayern. Time to scam some royals, get a whole lot of money and get revenge in the process. Feat: Gilsa the maker, Tatto the inside man, and Finn as the honest, fresh face who trusts them despite his better judgement.

[hedgiwithapen]

Okay okay another crossover idea: Cisco Ramon and Rudy Reyes hang out. This can go as well or poorly or destructively or hilariously as you want.

oh I forgot about this one I don't know how they meet but the vibe (hah!) I get is like... two cats staring at each other, and everyone's a little like oh no, are they going to start a fight-- and then being very impressed with each other's stuff.

hmm. I want to say they meet because Cisco vibes some of the Scarab Nonsense and he goes to Help. maybe drags Caitlin with him (and they can help things end less tragically at the Reyes house during Victoria's attack) they very much do make things Explode, though.

[hedgiwithapen]

for the ask game:

Leverage and Detective pikachu

my instinct is to equate Harry Wilson and Harry Goodman, and have Harry Wilson's teen daughter in the place of Tim. I do want it set in the pokemon world though because everyone deserves to be in the pokemon world! I guess the rest of the leverage team is doing their own investigations into R, running their own cons with help from their pokemon, all side by side the pikachu-and-child plot, and in places they entwine. make RIZ and Alexandra Blight the villains instead of R and the creepy scientists....Pikachu insists to Harry's daughter that he knows those people somehow... you KNOW Eliot and mewtwo know each other from part of Eliot's shady past...

[parvumautomaton]

Hahaha, I love this.

At least Shaggy wouldn't call his sandwich forgettable.

One of the best sandwiches we ever tasted. Right Scoob?

For the fandom ask:

Leverage and Scooby Doo.

I mean, the villains in Scooby Doo are always like. rich people trying to profit, or formerly rich people scrambling to hold on to wealth and power, so on the one hand, the scooby gang investigating a mystery on the same property that the leverage crew is conning the owner of.... but on the other hand, the scooby gang investigating the mystery specifically of, like, the close encounter job or paranormal hackivity job could be very, very fun. they keep screwing up each other's plans.
