They just faked up and an election, I mean... anyone could do that.
Anybody does, right?
Ah, the Line. See, I read almost no Leverage fic, and certainly not anything that has Eliot picking up guns, so that explains that. Of course, it made me chuckle because it's so standard that Neal Caffery used it, too. Verbatim, I think. I would have been happier with a simple, "I don't". Watching it, all my Cool instincts were screaming STOP THERE! C'mon, Eliot, you don't have to explain yourself! But his hair more than made up for it. I have never been more distracted by it (in the good way), and I rarely am, either. Even in the park, which is saying something.
wrote one once where he was just an epically crap shot, but I couldn't make it read in character.
That sounds brilliant! Did you post it?
Eliot is good at everything... damn him.
Except being obedient, it seems. :D
I haven't worked Eliot out yet. I'm not sure what he's thinking.
I'm pretty convinced it's simplye giddiness from relief, this big black cloud no longer looming before him, of being found out and rejected by the team, and clear skies ahead. He may not have achieved atonement or redemption, but maybe this is what absolution looks like. That's my take, but then, I don't have to screw it around to fit an established fic-verse! Can I help (at least without reading through the whole verse)? What thoughts have you got so far on him?
I didn't post that fic. I'll maybe have another run at it some time. I have some OCD tendancies and when I couldn't get it to work it kind of slid into my standard pattern for fic, which is something I've been trying really hard not to stop (to the point of working out of a new alias to aid dissociation).
I think you're probably totally right about that last scene, and I should be able to make that fit with the verse without too much faffing, but my brain is being objectionable. As usual. I will maybe potter over onto the PM service and have a chat with you when I start writing it. :) As Christmas is now over I'm back at work for a couple of days before the new year, but hopefully once my thesis is done (ha!) I will have some more time to think about fic.
Hey, me too! :)
