the best part of maurice hands down is when maurice shows up at clive's place just to say "your groundskeeper and i fucked nasty in your house." and then leaves his life forever

Leverage 3x2 - "The Reunion Job"

[schmweed]

[werewolfsmile]

Fam, your Were-wolf Eliot head canon post came up in my queue for reblog and I re-read it and gotta ask,

Does Lieutenant Bonanno know? And if so how did he react?

Tara was with them long enough to find out, how did she react to "Sparky"?

(Also I am majorly inspired by the image of Quinn just showing up when he's in town for a wolfy play date (and yes both Eliot and Quinn have threatened Hardison not to call it that, Parker gets a pass calling it that cause she's Parker and she'll call it that anyway threat or no threat) and I was wondering if you'd be okay with me trying to write that scene and tagging you when it's done?)

-- @scotchiegirl

Ahh thanks so much for asking!! You've made my brain start thinking about this fic and headcanons all over again!!

Bonanno finds out during the events of The Boys' Night Out Job. After all the other crazy stuff he has to deal with from Nate Ford & Friends, he just throws his hands up and says, 'of course you are. of course werewolves are real. i should'a known.' and goes about his life. But every time they play cards, he squints at Eliot and warns him against using his enhanced abilities to win.

"No funny wolf business, y'hear? We try to keep it a clean game." Eliot just blinks at him. "I don't have x-ray vision, dammit!"

Tara figured it out before the rest of the team did but she never said anything about it, knowing that he was keeping something like that secret for a reason. But when Sophie calls up to rant about something Eliot's done (after the team's found out), Tara just laughs and says something along the lines of "classic Sparky". Sophie is like, wait, you know??? And Tara's like, oh you know now too?? Finally!!! And then they gossip about Eliot and werewolves and all the weird stuff they've encountered on grifts. Because, really, finding out Eliot Spencer is a werewolf is one of the least-weird things to happen in Tara's life.

WOLFY PLAY DATE OH MY GOSH YES THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS!!! Ahhh you may absolutely write the scene, I would be honoured! Though fair warning that I have plans to include it in my fic of this whole AU, The Full Moon Job. And if I read your version of it before I write my own, I may be influenced by what you write. So as long as that doesn't bother you, have at it!

(shameless link of my fic included for anyone who might be interested)

It's been years since the end of the world...

Humans finally managed to end it all and Nolan Holloway exists purely out of his parent's spite and years of foreseeing.

But now, winter is gone, so is his mother, and now he is alone.

Turns out that plant's aren't great conversationalists and he can't bring himself to kill his chicks anymore..., but yet there are more and more missing everyday.

And there is howling every night.

Fuck, doesn't do wolves know how hard it is to grow nice coffee?

---

Or the one where Nolan just wants a good night sleep and also he feels kinda lonely 'cause there ain't a single soul around but these fucking wolves just want to party every single night (aka happy 'cause they found easy access to food.... sorry Nolan's chicks :'( )

Supernaturally touched mundane Malec AU

Au mostly mundane with supernatural elements. Alec is a cop. Magnus is a human lie detector, which may or may not be a secret to others:

Alec: "So you can just tell when someone is lying?"

Magnus: "Basically, yes. I can't tell what part of it is a lie, or what would be the corresponding truth. But I always know when I'm being lied to."

Alec: "That sounds, uhm, incredibly useful."

Magnus: "Ah, I doubt a gorgeous man like yourself would have much use for it. Why, you just have to bat those enchanting eyes of yours, and everyone would spill their secrets to you!"

Alec: "I wish. I mean, do you have any idea how much easier that would make my job? Not having to rely on the words of a suspect and having to spend time investigating, either trying to proof or disprove their statement. I could find leads and follow up on them so much faster if I knew right away which ones are the right ones. I mean, do you realize what a gift you have?"

Magnus: "….. When I was a child, my mother used to tuck me in to bed every night, and tell me a story. And after each story, she would kiss my forehead, and tell me she loved me."

Alec, surprised about the abrupt seeming change in subject: "Uh, okay? That's really nice."

Magnus: "Every night, I knew she was lying."

Alec: "…"

Magnus: "It may be a gift, but I struggle to think of it as a nice one."

It doesn't make much sense that he and Hardison understand each other this well. On paper, they couldn't be less alike. Give Eliot a face to punch over a code to crack any day. He likes things simple: if you're stronger than the other guy, he goes down and you don't. In Eliot's line of work, the hard way is the only way to learn. Nothing about this bizarre triangular dynamic of theirs is simple. And yet, in spite of that, Hardison just…gets it. Even when Eliot kind of doesn't really get it, Hardison gets it. Parker gets it. They don't ask him to change. They just show that he fits, exactly as he is. (Or: a morning with Eliot, Hardison, and Parker.)

some more leverage ot3 :)

[rodolfoparras]

sir do you have a crush on Alicante from the mobile game Good Pizza Great Pizza

SIR HOW DID YOU KNOW HOW DID YOU KNOW

Okay but listen besides the fact that he’s very handsome he’s also very supportive sure he might come to my shop and mock me but for example at the very beginning he asks you if you know what you’re doing opening a pizza shop and if you press no he’ll advice you on how to make food he won’t outright say here’s my advice but you know what I mean also checking out your competition on daily bases is kind of gay why do you need to know what I’m doing 24/7?:/

i am once again mad over the fact that they finally gave kurt a friend who wasn't a girl or a love interest and then promptly got rid of him

[leveragedlibrarians]

Ok I was going to put this in the tags but it was too long so uh

Look. Everyone is going to point to nate and say that obviously he's the normal one but you're WRONG. The series premiere he tells us he used to run game on criminals to get stolen merch back. We all saw what happened between s1 and s2. Not to mention his father, his childhood, and the fact he was going to be a priest. Nate Ford may be an unseasoned piece of plain white bread of a man, but he has never ever been 'normal.'

Sophie lives for the drama. The glamor. The chase. Her 'normal' would probably be retiring to a little island off the coast of Sicily in a mansion full of art she stole and every now and again going off to some charity event as whatever fake identity she feels like pulling out of the closet.

Parker never had a normal to start with, not that she'd ever want one. She was born to commit crimes. Not just raised to (Archie my nemesis) but she /chose/ crimes. The earliest memory we see is of her stealing. She loves it, she lives it. She'll be in a retirement home stealing tapioca pudding for the kicks.

Hardison would never even consider a 'normal' life, okay? He'd be insulted at the prospect. He's /gifted/. Hacking is an art and he is an artist. He is the greatest hacker in the world and takes so so so much pride in that. I don't think Hardison could stop hacking if you paid him.

But Eliot? I think not only is Eliot the only one capable of normalcy, but I think part of him craves it. It's important to note that of all of them, he didn't initially seek out his role of being a hitter. The rest of them chose their roles, but Eliot didn't sign up for his. He joined the army. He didn't do it for the violence either, he did it because he wanted to be like his dad. Then he was just too good at his job, and kept getting pulled down darker and darker roads by his commanding officers.

I fully believe Eliot had a totally different life planned out. He was going to join the army, marry Amy, have 2.5 kids and settle down, maybe inherit his dad's shop. In s4 he tells Nate that he used to be someone completely different "before all of this started." He wasn't born a killer or a hitter. He was a kid who joined the army and "had god in his heart" and, importantly, Eliot still keeps looking for the person he used to be. We never see the rest of them lamenting the 'good ole days,' we never hear hardison talk about before he learned to hack except that he played the violin before /choosing/ to hack instead. Of all of them, I think that if Eliot could go back in time and change it all he absolutely would.

Over and over we see Eliot bonding with every kid and middle class character in the series. He throws himself into his grifting roles- miner, chef, singer- because I think on some level he /wants/ that. He wants to be the chef who owns the lil restaurant down the street, the guy you could grab a beer with. He wants to settle down, maybe get married, and leave the violence behind (except maybe to play hockey or box). I'm not saying he doesn't like his life with them at all- I think that after all he's been through already that Leverage is probably the happiest ending he could get- but I am saying that the middle part, between the army and when we meet him s1, is probably something that makes Eliot genuinely hate himself. He didn't want to be a killer. He doesn't like it. He tries desperately to save Nate from what he couldn't save himself from. If he liked killing, liked any part of the wetwork he used to do, he wouldn't have quit. Wouldn't have tried so desperately to get away from it. He never wanted to be a killer, he was just so Good at it.

Eliot was the normal kid next door who got pulled into a life that he hated by people far far more powerful and dangerous than him, and I think that he regrets that every day.

Sophie: Who would live a normal life outside of this job?

Eliot: Me. It would be me.

Me: *thinking about it*

rereading point mouette as an adult is so funny cause as a kid any attempts at foreshadowing completely went over my head and all of a sudden i can see it and it's like every other page
