hardison and eliot betting on who would get higher bids at the bachelor auction, and then hardison being the one to create eliot's fake persona and making him impressive

lmao okay hardsion... anyway eliot got $10k

he's so hot shut up ,,, alec hardison the man you are,,,,aldis hodge is so damn fine,,,HE GOT $15K AS HE SHOULD

eliot is also hot but hardison,,,,

PARKER WITH THE STEEL CHAIR

Eliot: ...Want me to teach you about the wines again? Hardison: That's just hurtful. Just- just making assumptions and presumptions that I don't know what I'm- Yes, I need you to teach me about the wines again. Yes.

I love them

ELIOT ORDERING A PLANT FOR PARKER AND SAYING TIS FROM HARDISON AND THEN LEAVING STOPPPP

i know this is like, a wingman moment, because eliot is the most romantic of them but like why does that hurt,, why does he have so much love and nowhere to put it? i choose to believe this is him helping his boyfriend impress their girlfriend

god. eliot spencer they could never make me hate you.

[inthemoodforsomepretzels]

an entire con that just relies on nate being… good at dating is so goofy

Sophie imypling that Eliot isn’t respecting the women he is sleeping with and him going. “1. the job description you are using is sexist. 2. I know all their names.”

He does care, deeply

[leverage-ot3]

notable moments from The Lonely Hearts Job

look at nate and eliot being all domestic reading in the pub

- - - - -

eliot will literally use ANYTHING as a weapon,,, last ep he used an umbrella, this time he used the fucking book he was reading

- - - - -

eliot grabbing the guy’s arm as soon as it got anywhere near nate

im soft eliot wants to protect his family at all costs

- - - - -

*guy starts crying*

nate and eliot, visibly distressed: sOpHIE

- - - - -

Sophie: You don’t have a romantic bone in your body.

(Eliot walks up, laughing)

Sophie: Oh.

Nate: Oh, really?

Sophie: And you’re one to laugh. You don’t even bother to learn their names. They’re just waitress, nurse, stewardess.

Eliot: First of all, it’s flight attendant, all right? They don’t like being called stewardess. And, second, I know their names

okay but I love eliot so much for a NUMBER™ of reasons but one of the things I love about him is that he goes completely against the toxic masculinity trope

he cooks, he likes things clean, but in this scene, it’s yet again established that he listens to and cares about his lovers even if it’s just a one night stand

he doesn’t disregard them, he doesn’t ever disrespect them

eliot spencer drinks respect women juice and I stan him SO HARD for that

- - - - -

Parker (walks in): You guys having a three-way?

Sophie: What?

Nate: What?

Parker: Three-way fight

she’s trying her best, your honor

also I LOVE how nobody looked disgusted or outraged by her question,,, like the concept of a three way (or three person relationship *wink wink*) is not scandalous or frowned upon by them

especially since the ot3 becomes canon later, idk this was a nice little tidbit that just supported the idea that none of the members of the team had anything against non mainstream relationships and I love that

- - - - -

Parker: Let’s go steal a sweetheart. (looks at Eliot) No? A widow.

Eliot: Unh-unh.

Parker: No? Spider?

(Parker and Eliot smile at each other)

Parker: Spider

they’re pure, your honor

- - - - -

Parker (taking pictures with her cell phone) : No matches on Hardison’s software yet. (sees jewelry on an older woman and takes picture) Ooh. Sparkly.

Nate: Parker, no burgling.

Parker: But these jewels, they’re just asking to be taken.

she’s so cute- she deserves all the shiny things

- - - - -

San Gui: Then let’s meet Austin, Texas, native Jackson Cooper!

Eliot (to Hardison): Austin, Texas? Did you write that? (walks forward)

hardison is a troll

San Gui: All right. Now, not only is Jackson the founder of Baren Oil, he also led the underwater team that capped the well in the Gulf. (crowd oohs) Oh, yes.

(Eliot glances back at Hardison)

TROLL

- - - - -

San Gui: That’s right, ladies. Let’s give it up for our last eligible bachelor, Mr. Steven Melching. Come on, Steven. Steven comes to us straight from his compound in Silicon Valley.

Parker: Whoa, whoa, whoa!

parker specifically cheering for hardison gave me serotonin

- - - - -

parker punching hardison’s date in the face and then HOLDING HER BACK BY PUTTING HER HAND ON HER FACE BC SHES SO MUCH TALLER LMAO

+ parker looked so proud of herself as she was carried out by security she’s baby

- - - - -

parker setting up the con board (idk what to call it) and nate bringing her in on the plans

MASTERMIND IN TRAINING

- - - - -

sophie in that dress could punch me in the face and I’d thank her

- - - - -

Hardison: Oh, sure, right. Speaking of which, did you ever find that steak place?

Eliot: The bet’s off.

Hardison: What you mean the bet’s off?

Eliot: The second that we found out they were grifters, the bet’s off.

Hardison: That doesn’t count. You didn’t set --

Eliot: Page 189, rule number 7 in the bro handbook.

Hardison: What? There wasn’t no rules. You didn’t set any rules.

Eliot: The bet is off in a situation where --

Hardison: I’ll be damned if it’s off.

Eliot: All right, then! I’ll make you some prime rib when this is over.

Hardison: Bone in, well-done?

Eliot: Well-done, bone in

they’re both idiots I love them

also they both smiled and chuckled after agreeing on the ribs bc they may fight but it’s not real and they actually love each other

- - - - -

Eliot, looking resigned: Do you want me to teach you about the wines again?

Hardison: That’s just hurtful. Just -- just making assumptions and presumptions that I don’t know what I’m -- Yes, I need you to teach me about the wines again, yes.

the fact that they’ve had this conversation BEFORE lmao

- - - - -

the parker being an absolute RECKLESS driver saga continues

- - - - -

Sophie: True love does exist.

Eliot (raises bottle for a toast): May it always prevail

eliot is the biggest fucking softie and no I will not change my mind

- - - - -

bruh I’m C R Y I N G

eliot cares SO MUCH about his family

he bought gifts for parker and sophie so that they’d be happy, but also it would help their relationships with hardison and nate

he knew parker would like a plant that “does something” (see s1 when parker said she got a plant and asked hardison “what does it do”)

he got sophie her favorite flowers

and was SELFLESS and took none of the credit

he just walked away and smiled

- - - - -

also you cannot convince me that he’s not still thinking about parker and hardison ,,, last episode we had the interaction between him and eliot and the whole “that would mean that I’d be thinking about you and parker, which I never do!” debacle

he thinks about them. all the time. just, until that last episode, he never really realized just how much or what it might have meant

and now, here he is, not too long after, working a con where the team is knee-deep in romance

and eliot thrives

he knew what to get sophie. he definitely knew what to get parker. because he listens, he cares. he doesn’t let the little details slide.

when he picks out the fly trap for parker, he smiles to himself because he knows she will like it and it’ll make her happy. and that will make hardison happy.

eliot doesn’t ask for much. he doesn’t think he deserves half of the wonderful life he’s built with his team.

he won’t let himself be happy in the way the couples can, and would never even dream of being with parker and hardison for real, but he can make them happy. and for him, that is enough.

[leverage-ot3]

🥰all eliot wants is for his family to be happy🥰

Eliot secretly saving the day with flowers for @spacerobotbeckerz.

[sluttyhenley]

It’s the season finale of Leverage.

[readinginthereadyroom]

it’s the lonely hearts job (lev 4x14) and eliot followed sophie on her “date” with oscar san guillermo the night before. to keep her safe.

but nate wants the rundown. either for the con or for jealousy. and eliot does. parses down the evening, it’s locations and what oscar—no, san gui—ordered.

because he’s got good taste, man. classy drinks, immediate reservations, a fancy dinner. brunch today. zagat surveys and michelin stars.

and even eliot’s charmed. his love language is acts of service and it’s almost always shown thru food. he’s also a romantic. he knows how to woo and charm. so he gets it.

plus he’s rubbing nate’s face in it a little bit. sometimes it’s fun to kick a man when he’s down. for that editorialize comment. but also cause he’s got sophie’s back. and she deserves a bit of romance.

cut to the next scene. where eliot proceeds to promise to make hardison a steak dinner for having won the bachelor’s auction. despite the fact that the original bet was to buy dinner.

yeah. I think eliot was charmed. and unlike nate, he got a few tips and ideas from oscar. and he’s gonna use them.

a steak dinner. a venus fly trap. white roses. and a wink. cause unlike some he knows what he’s doing.

[leverageclips]

When your partner-in-crime/best friend/boyfriend is a chef all your bets MUST include dinner.

[inthemoodforsomepretzels]

eliot getting parker and sophie flowers for the guys??? yes please. eliot spencer THE MAN YOU ARE.

[aceofwhump]

Hey, my darling. I was wondering if you had any show/movie recs for a character getting shot or stabbed and not making it to the hospital straight away. Honestly though I'd take any recs so long as it has a decent amount of aftermath shown. Thank you so much. X

Hi there! Here are some of my favorite examples of that. Which is such a great trope.

Hawaii Five-0 in 4x19 Danny and Steve are trapped under a collapsed building and Danny is hurt, in 8x10 Danny is shot in quarantine, 10x22 when Danny gets shot in the last season which is my faaaavorite, 2x01 when Steve is stabbed in prison

The A-Team 5x13 when Face gets shot in the restaurant (god i love this one)

The Event 1x08

Lucifer 4x05 Lucifer shot in Lux and held hostage

Love’s Christmas Journey (2011)

Graceland 2x13 when Mike is shot and has to hide out

Prodigal Son 1x11 Malcolm stabbed and held captive

Bones 11x01 and 11x02 Booth shot

Leverage 1x05 the bank shot job Nate shot and held hostage

Angel 2x14 Wesley is shot and they're trapped in a house

Star Trek Voyager 3x03 Tom is stabbed

The OC 4x15 Ryan is impaled with a piece of glass and it takes a long time to get him to a hospital

[kajaono]

Eliot getting presents for both Parker and Sophie because he knows Nate and Hardsion are not able to do so?

A true romantic. He is such a softie
