It felt logical that Sophie would eventually figure out that Parker loved Eliot, and she would want to try to keep everything from falling apart.
Parker sighed and let her blonde hair fall into her face. "I liked Eliot, but Hardison liked me. And, I liked Hardison, too. I thought these feelings would…go away, but they haven't. I don't know what to do because I don't know how I feel. Why can't you just tell me?"
I've always operated in canon, and when I started this fic, it was pretty obvious that Parker and Hardison were on the verge of being a couple in the actual show. So I needed to establish why in this fic, where Eliot loved Parker and Parker realized she felt the same for him, Parker would be with Hardison to begin with.
And, I also had to think about how Parker would react to this sort of situation. This isn't Grey's Anatomy. The characters don't ( ... )

This line was why I wanted to write this. It's an echo of what Father Paul told Nate in "The Miracle Job," and I felt it was a very powerful statement on the idea of morality and how the little things matter just as much as the big things.
I felt it applied here, especially after the events of "The Last Dam Job," because even though Nate didn't pull the trigger, he stood there and laid out the reasons why Latimer and Dubenich should want the other dead. Nate pretty much knew the outcome, and despite the fact that the show can say "well, he didn't really kill anyone," the fact remains that Nate's intentions very much involved Dubenich and Latimer ending up dead.
She sees his hand tighten around his glass. She’s been waiting for this guilt because it’s as much a constant as the alcohol or control issues. She would have been fine if he had killed Dubenich or Latimer; but she knows she would be talking a gun out of his mouth instead of a ( ... )

This really comes from my head-canon and how I view Sophie's past. I do see her as capable of killing; I do believe she would kill someone else if her life was on the line. And I do think she is perfectly capable of a crime of passion and would later come to acknowledge that as "in cold blood" because of the incredible weight of her guilt.
I think why I wanted to include this was also because this is something Nate hasn't known about her. I see it as something she's ashamed of but watching him struggle now, she feels she can share it with him. It's the difference between where they were when the show started and where they end up in Season Four that really allows that sort of honesty between the two of them.
