Fic: Reverse Leverage (PG18, Leverage, not happy)

[__marcelo]

Caveat Reader: I'm not in a good mood right now, and that led directly to writing this fic. It's a non-nice Leverage AU, and as Leverage is kind of fandom's comfort show, it's probably not really interesting even to fans of the show.

Title: Reverse Leverage
Fandom: Leverage AU.
Rating: PG18, just to be in the safe side.
Warnings: Probably doesn't

The Eliot/anti-Eliot showdown would be epic. Shades of the Two Live Crew Job, only they'd spend three hours staring at each other, smirk, and walk away.

[__marcelo]

Oh, yes, that'd be cool. Although I don't think Eliot might want to let anti-Eliot walk away if he can avoid it. He strikes me as someone with a very developed sense of personal honor, and to see an anti-self like that must be very galling.

[lazar_grrl]

True, but I could see anti-Eliot as having a highly developed personal code of honor as well. Just...an evil one. Sort of like Artemis Entreri. Very disciplined and methodical, disdaining "petty" crimes like rape and random torture, but willing to kill instantly and without pity. Alignment-wise, Eliot strikes me as strongly chaotic good. A lawful evil counterpart would work for him.

And if they were entirely evenly matched, a fight stalemate could be more harmful to them than not fighting, because then neither would be in any position to aid his team.

True. I like the characterization in terms of alignments :).

[lazar_grrl]

I see Eliot, Sophie, Parker, and Hardison starting off as chaotic neutral, with ex-lawful-now-neutral good Nate dragging them up the alignment scale to chaotic good. Seriously, if there ever was a fallen(ish) paladin, it's Nate.

Good point. If they ever do that episode not in a million years, there would have to be at least three fights

*approves* We need to steal ourselves an episode... and shoot this.

You be the mastermind. I'll be the amateur narratologist. I'm not really trained for anything else. :-D
