WIP Big Bang 2023 Round Starting April 1st!

What is the WIP Big Bang? Good question! This is a Big Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your fanfic drafts folder. These are stories that were unfinished for whatever reason, that authors returned to and completed, and the art that goes with them!

Please read our FAQ/check out our schedule for more details.

In Leverage Redemption when Parker pretends to be FBI she doesn't use the agent Hagen alias anymore. Now this could have a simple explanation like the alias being blown and no longer useful. However there is an infinitely funnier option.

Agent Hagen is a legitimate FBI agent now, and therefore cannot be part of any illegal business.

I mean, look, it's been eight years and over the course of the original show agent Hagen was pretty good at her job! At some point McSweeten either found out agent Hagen wasn't really an agent and made some corrections or someone working administration found out agent Hagen wasn't getting a paycheck and fixed that problem.

I'm particularly fond of the idea that McSweeten knows that Parker, legendary thief, is agent Hagen but also figures she's helped out so much that he might as well give her a job. Maybe some sort of special investigator position where no one will question that agent Hagen never shows up at the office. Sometimes he finds out about fake FBI agents from the other leverage crews and just... adds them to Hagen's team.

(And of course, all of this applies to Hardison's FBI alias too.)

[mygogglesdosomething]

I want FBI Director McSweeten who has totally figured out that Hagen and Thomas are not real FBI agents but they keep leaving him gifts of tied up criminals and are honestly more useful than some of his real agents to order US Marshall Maria Shipp to work with Agent Hagen on a special secret mission and have her head explode

I’m not sure what I want more

mcsweeten being in leverage redemption and still having not a clue that parker and hardison are, in fact, not federal agents and are actually world-class criminals

or at some point between the finale and now he did find out, and then some government official gets wind of one of their heists and is jabbing their finger at a blurry image of parker and hardison mid-thievery and with a completely straight face, mcsweeten explains that guys, those are agents hagen and thomas and they are working on an undercover op and were in no way at all involved of what is inconveniencing the government now

and the government official keeps trying to explain they are criminals but mcsweeten just pulls up their dossiers and credentials and he can literally see the vein throbbing in the man’s forehead but he just smiles says that he has personally worked with agent hagen and would trust her with his life

Roommate is @the-realharleyquin

idk what life is, photo IDs under read more

(i’m just going to make a transcript so you know what was said. Me: me, Rommate: R)

[Slide 2: a photo of Nathan Ford on the phone.]

Me: Remember Odin from American Gods? This is his shitty son Adien. his job is to basically carry the whole team. 

R: This is Nathan Ford, he’s the Mastermind he used to be an insurance agent but after the company he worked for didn’t pay for his kid treatment. Now he takes down people like his old boss.

Me: Oh so breaking bad ripped him off gotcha

[Slide 3: Picture of Sophie Devereaux leaning against a bar] 

Me: OKOK so she's a cougar who drinks red wine but she also has a thing for flogging people. Her name is Jessica also it would take her 2 seconds to make someone submit

R: This is Sophie Devereaux she is the Grifter she used to be an art thief, Nathan tried to catch her stealing a long time ago, now they are teammates.

Me: So I was right. 

R: Yes. 

[Slide 4: Photo of Alec Hardison DJ’ing]

Me: oh shit that's just Penny from the Magicians when he's under that glamour spell when he's a dj. Ok so his job is that he always plays music to the beat of the ass kicking and his stage name is like DJ Kick but his real name is John

R: This is Alec Hardison, he’s the smartest boi (age of the geek baby) he’s the hacker, and he loves he bf and gf also his nana

Me: Hot 

R: Agreed. 

[Slide 5: Photo of Eliot Spencer from the episode where he’s a chef?]

Me: ok so the actor himself is a dilf but this MF is one of those dads who smokes weed all the time but's like ~cooooool~ w his kids drinking and he probs has like 2 kids somewhere that he's never met and another 3 kids that he met for the first 2 months of his life. his name is something basic like "Diesel" and his entire purpose is to side track the group other than the one episode where he saves the day

R: Okay I agree that the actor is a dilf but this is Eliot Spencer, he is the hitter aka the tank he is the “lone wolf” but he loves his bf and gf and the team (he will never admit that aloud tho got to keep his ‘macho’ 

Me: Let me dress him up in a suit and i’ll climb him like a tree even though he looks like he’s 5’6

R: Yes, i agree completely. 

Me: Put your dick up.

[Slide 6: Photo of Parker surrounded by kids when she’s in a leather jacket]

Me: She's Seen Shit and doesn't realllly understand the issue with complaining to the manager but like. She complains to the people she's trying to destroyHer name is Helen and her job is to bitch until she's knocked out but she is great at lock picking. wait. or she's the mage

R: Ok ok, so this is Parker, she is the thief also she is the baby of the group, her bfs love her and so does everyone else. She becomes the next mastermind when Nathan retires.

Me: I will kill for her. Does she need anyone killed? No clue. Will I anyway? Yes

R: Big Mood

[Slide 7: Photo of Jim Sterling holding up a badge.]

Me: he's a cunt. his name is Gabriel or an angel name and his job is to be a cunt.

R: This is Jim Sterling, he is one of Nathan's old work “buddies” all he wants is promotions for work, so yeah he is a cunt.

Me: Finally got one 

R: Ye.

[Slide 8: Photo of Tara Cole at a bar and we can see bare thighs]

me: pass. Her name is crystal and she's a cunt too

R: Ok, this is Tara Cole, it has been a while since i have seen the tv show even tho i am rewatching it but any way she is an old “friend” of Sophie’s she takes over as the team’s grifter for a while and all she wants is money.

Me: Ok so she’s really the chick who shows up to fuck shit up gotcha

R: Yeah she only lasted a few ep i think she ‘tried to change but i don’t like her

[Slide 9: Photo of Special Agent McSweeten. Also slightly lower is a photo of Parker]

Me: oh he's a dumb cop and his name is Darrel

R: This is Special Agent McSweeten he pops up every now and then and yes he is quite dumb. He has a crush on Parker (completely understandable imo).

Me: Wait whos parker again?

Fred Jones and Special Agent Todd McSweeten are cut from too similar cloth not to be related somehow.

Happy 53 Birthday to Gerald Downey.

[thekracken]

i wake up in the dead of night to make an “i love special agent todd mcsweeten” post every two days

[swingsetindecember]

the glow up of fbi special agents william taggert and todd mcsweeten, they are now the fbi deputy director and the head of the fbi counterterrorism division respectively

[tired-fandom-ndn]

I think Parker is so used to being constantly rejected by "normal" people for just existing as herself, not even for her criminal habits but just for being Parker, that she's resigned herself to never being able to form meaningful relationships. Even after joining the crew and starting her relationship with Hardison and Eliot, she thinks it only works because the others are just as "broken" as she is.

And then this completely normal guy comes into her life completely incidentally and sure, she's grifting him a bit but that isn't her strong suit and the only real difference between Parker and Special Agent Hagen is a uniform and a badge, her personality is the same and he still likes her.

It's nice, to not be looked at like a freak or a monster. McSweeten doesn't always understand, but no one does really and at least he tries.

I think McSweeten/Parker is actually so cute, but especially with Parker tentatively enjoying being cared about for herself by someone "normal" and McSweeten tentatively embracing who she actually is and getting to know both Parker the thief and his new metamours.
