Alec Hardison really can be anything he wants to be <3

You know, I really really do enjoy how every time we learn something about Parker, we learn something about Hardison as well. Almost in response to learning something about Parker or like... like how learning about Hardison re-contextualizes what we've just learned about Parker.

Thinking about season 1 especially and The Stork Job, one of the first real vulnerable moments where Parker herself not only reaches out to the team but where she actually tells them something about herself. Tells Hardison about herself. She opens up about being an orphan, about being in foster care, and she expects him not to understand. And then he opens up about Nana and how she wasn't his grandmother but his foster mother. And it just softens Parker's story, not by downplaying it, but by giving her another angle to her rigid thinking. It is based solely on that conversation and her conscience that she does a 180 and goes back to fight for those kids.

Thinking about The Juror #6 Job too and how that went down and how Sophie may have been the one to point out that Parker had never reached out to the for help before, but Hardison was the one who got Nate to change his mind and indulge Parker. And he did it by opening up about his childhood, about being raised to be good with his words and charming and to know how to ask for things. And once again it re-contextualizes Parker. It shows what she grew up without and how hard this is for her not on a professional loner level but on a personal scared-little-girl level.

I'm sure there's more, and there's times when the opposite happens and we learn about Hardison through learning about Parker, but yeah. The brilliance of the writing to do it like that... wow.

It's almost like [chess]. *scoffs* It's ridiculous.

Leverage episode 01x11 The Juror #6 Job: Batman Edition where one of Tim’s aliases is so realistic that they get jury duty. Bruce makes him go to it to socialize and now Caroline Hill has uncovered a conspiracy.

The Juror #6 Job & The Fractured Job

[independent-fics]

There’s been multiple posts discussing Parker and Eliot getting hit by cars/in car accidents since it happens to them the most and I’m gifing “The Juror #6 Job” tonight and realizing Eliot gets hit by a car in this one too! I don’t think I’ve counted it in my tally before.

I love how The Juror #6 Job predicted not one but two plotlines of Leverage: Redemption

Gifs of Eliot that no one asked for but I made them anyway (17/?)

quick someone make a then and now post of hardison making a joke about applying himself to be an astronaut in the juror #6 job paralleled with him actually being in space

[anarchypumpkincowboy]

I love the layout of these episodes it’s been so comforting

And also all their interactions with each other like the way Eliot just went “I’m gonna tell you one more time. You made a friend not Alice” and then Parker’s like smile like I love them all so much

Juror #6 Job was just brilliant continues highlights for Hardison and Parker with great backup supports and a good villain.

[transsophiedevereaux]

been rewatching s1 of leverage and it really hammers home how down bad hardison has been from the start. and it's not even the stupid flirting and telling parker she looks good in the bridesmaid dress.

when the team first gets together they don't really get parker. eliot calls her crazy about twice per episode, sophie clearly feels bad for her, and nate barely cares for anyone at this point. hardison, by contrast, always engages with her, answers her questions, listens to her concerns about the orphanages in the stork job, explains to her that they're a little more than a team, cheekily adresses her, while in character for the juror #6 job, just to make her smile. yes we all remember how parker stabbed the guy from the stork job with a fork, but also remember that, just moments before, while talking stone-faced to this guy she clearly loathes hardison managed to make her laugh with only a stupid vampire joke mocking the mark's accent. she thinks he's funny! they're in love your honour!!

Every time Hardison’s closing statement in “The Juror #6 Job” gives me chills.
