Leverage FF: Sitting Left of the Dealer [Nate, Hardison; PG-13]
I think we're okay to crosspost these now that the collection is open?
Title: Sitting Left of the Dealer
Fandom: Leverage
Characters/Pairings: Nate, Alec, team-Leverage
Rating: PG-13
Warnings/Spoilers: Spoilers for the basic premise/characters, set in some kind of S1. Warnings for racism and police abuse of authority.
Wordcount: 3,500 words
Summary: Mostly they only talk about race when Hardison's using it as a distraction. It's a method that doesn't work all of the time, even though Hardison's more careful than anyone thinks about choosing when to use it. He definitely wouldn't have tried it here. [For the Racebending Revenge challenge, rewriting Nate as black]
Disclaimer: Belongs to Dean Devlin and TNT
A/N: For the challenge at dark_agenda to rewrite a white fandom character as chromatic/non-white/PoC to see how that changes the story being told. As such, is intended to function as an examination/critique of some of the ways race is handled on the show.
A/N2: With thanks to
sparkymonster for a lot of input on the earlier draft of this. Remaining problems are all mine.
