#leverage trio

[badass-queer-couples-battle]

Simple question- who's your favorite badass couple/polycule?

Propaganda for Perc'ahlia: "The gal is queer, the guy is probably queer, they’re so edgy separately but together he’s the most pathetic simp and she’s a badass Queen. Iconic, they are"

Propaganda for the Leverage trio: "Parker/Hardison is canon since S4/5, Elliot fell for them later. OT3 confirmed via word of God. Eliot is the one most suited for literal battle but the other two can kick ass when required and the three of them battle capitalism via crime 24/7."

Asta: Noelle saved my life. Twice!

Noelle: Once. And a half.

Yuno: How do you half save someone's life?

Noelle: I was the one who accidentally threw him off the cliff before saving him, so I figure that only counts as half, right?

Yuno: Huh.

Yuno: That actually makes sense.

absolutely convinced that characterization-wise, the funniest team up would be acheron, boothill, sunday, and aventurine. any mission they go on would be spectacular. like they’re all intensely competent it’d just also be a mess. they’d solve the original issue after the weirdest shit ever goes down and leave 80 million new, mostly minor problems behind.

totally forgot there's a moment in the lost heir job where eliot refuses to fight cops. your honor i don't know who that man is

[misanthropemom]

Leverage headcannon I just came up with:

Parker has licked every member of the team, invoking the ancient rule, "I licked it; now it's mine."

Because Parker does not have the same physical restraint in interaction that other people do. You can see this when she's interacting with, for example, Elliot or Hardison. Which is instrumental in my assumption that they are a trio.

She also does this with diamonds she's stolen.

Kabru's freak enjoyer conspiracy theorist board V.S laios freak radar "hollup... let him cook" like he can smell freaktism from a mile away 😜😅😭🤣😂

I LOVE the headcanon that he can smell freak from a mile away, but at the same time, he DID befriend the most "I'm so normal. Everyone believes I'm so normal* (*except people who are actually close to me but what do they know)*" autistic men in the world like.

I go back and forth between "Laios had a radar for people who aren't normal about stuff in the same way that he is" and "he likes normies actually"

(and I guess this kind of ignores the fact that Laios wasn't interested in Kabru in the first place, at first? Hmm! Idk! Funny guys regardless. Hilarious to me allll of the ways in which some elements of three possible character combinations that can happen between those three, come up in two if not all three of the combinations possible)

Well regardless Kabru and Toshiro should just stop filtering their thoughts, they should subject Laios to their (Kabru voice) "that consort is trying to gather sympathy by emphasizing certain parts of her story for social leverage" and (Toshiro voice) "that politician is shady, there's a reason why he keeps bringing up one subject in his agenda over another even though both should be discussed. Also his hat looks stupid" etc etc abnormal truth.

okay so. I've binged almost all of leverage (3 eps left) and now wanna scream and chew cardboard I mean. I mean. hear me out here okay?

first I was like yeah okay sure I'm in a not doing things mood so might as well watch. I don't know any of these ppl except for like a handful of guest stars, but I liked the team's brand of weird and their dynamics basically right from the first ep. and sure the show's a little naive and a lot moralizing (don't like the moralizing), but the banter and the shenanigans and the fact that I suddenly remembered that I like heist movies but somehow haven't watched leverage until now is what kept me clicking on the next ep and the next and the next.

and I mean. this is tumblr ive seen gifsets here and there and I'm aware of the ship (you cannot be on this webbed site and not be aware of the existence of basically every major ship in basically everything, so) - but for the entire 4 and a half seasons I was like yep yep love the dynamic and really love the whole slow progression of rivals to teammates to friends and yeah okay Parker and Hardison dating makes sense but I'm not feral abt it and I still cannot see the threeway ship I mean they're friends and I love that for them and then AND THEN. and then I watched the dc ep. you know the one I mean. with the bomb and the virus and all the intense feelings and and I'm like *Eliot voice* oh come on!!! I did not require any new ships like I'm not much of a fandom person at all these days and yet here we are. facepalms and muffled screams into the pillow.

and I was like where! is more! of that I need more of that!!! after the dc ep and honestly I've watched the next couple eps on autopilot waiting for well not the progression but the same intensity of the dynamic at least but hahaha no said the show. and now it's 8 am and I'm writing this instead of sleeping or diving headfirst into the deep end of the fic pool and I know there's still those three eps left and then the entire renewed show but it's too much and not enough at the same time do you know what I mean

Valicer OT3 Week Masterpost

Did it for Polyship Week, so should do it for OT3 Week as well! This is just a straight-up list of the fics by day, with the relevant AU information and anything else you might need to know next to it in parentheses; "established" AUs (that is, AUs I already had tags for, instead of being a one-shot AU for the specific prompt) have their AU tag linked as well:

Day One: Meet Cute (Modern!AU)

Day Two: The Cool Kid, The Jock, And The Nerd (High School!AU)

Day Three: Childhood Friends (Vaguely Victorian!AU, Kidfic)

Day Four: The Knight, The Princess, And The Dragon Are Actually All Together (Medieval Fantasy!AU, hypnokinky and slightly NSFW at the end -- the post itself has the "Mature" community tag)

Day Five: Nontraditional Soulmates (Soulmates!AU)

Day Six: No One Wants To Leave The Cuddle Pile (Modern!AU, slightly hypnokinky near the end)

Day Seven: Free Day (Valicer In The Dark!AU)

Hope you enjoyed this week of Valicer prompts! As always, I am continuing to work on Valicer fic in the background -- making some good progress on the first official "Valicer In The Dark" fic, "Start At The Beginning...Sort Of." Really hoping I can release that for general consumption soon!

Round 3, poll 3, bracket A

Propaganda for the Leverage trio: "Parker/Hardison is canon since S4/5, Elliot fell for them later. OT3 confirmed via word of God. Eliot is the one most suited for literal battle but the other two can kick ass when required and the three of them battle capitalism via crime 24/7."

"the time Parker asked Eliot what the worst thing he ever did was and he said "Don't ask me that Parker. Because if you ask me… I'll tell you. so please don't ask me"

the time Parker begged Eliot to help her return a body to a widow because she desperately needed to be a good person and he talked her down because he knows she's good in her own way

The desperation Eliot and Parker felt when Hardison was buried alive

Hardison buying a brew pub for Eliot

Hardison waiting patiently for Parker to be ready for a relationship because she has issues with people and feelings so he let it be a slow burn

Parker taking a bomb away from Hardison so he wouldn't get hit if she couldn't neutralize it

finale spoilers: the time they all died holding hands (they're fine now)"

Propaganda for Shadowgast: "again, what's sexier than wizards NOTHING! they're wizards! they're war criminals! Essek shows affection by crushing assassin's that try to kill Caleb into tiny balls with magic and Caleb shows affection by throw Essek at the healers when he's polymorphed as a giant ape! forehead kisses! you were not born with venom in your veins! young man! there's SO MUCH"

[fandomscraziness22]

oh my gosh, that trio episode was everything to me. how parker and hardison knew what eliot was getting at when he talked about "what i used to do." the way eliot wanted to send parker and hardison away to keep them safe, and the two not even flinching but arguing back. eliot hyping up hardison when he got scared (with good reason). the teamwork, how they trust each other implicitly to do both the right thing and the necessary thing.

it really showed how much they've all grown and love each other, they just really are the best and i loved this episode so freaking much!!!

[weather-mood]

It’s probably already been said but Night Island x Leverage AU

[supernovasilence]

both delighted and furious that there are 658* works in the Goncharov tag on ao3

because on the one hand this is objectively hilarious. I love people. but on the other hand this movie that doesn't even exist has more fics than half my ships

*I would have sworn the number was 610 and am now desperately convincing myself I misremembered it and not that people wrote 48 new fics between when I started making this post and when I went back to get a screenshot. also no I do not know what the beelzebub thing is about. that's just what the tag is

[evergreen-lyricist]

i just watched the rundown job & now i know why people go crazy go stupid over it. if anyone needs me i will be chewing on the narrative implications ✨️

[chameleonlurks]

Yes hello Leverage. I love you and always will.

This emotion brought to you by the MOST. PERFECT. character introduction scene ever!
