Fandom: Leverage
Pairing: Parker/Hardison

Blurb:
I really can't express my love of Parker and Hardison through words. So here's a collection of gifs and screencaps.
dancing in "The Reunion Job"
landing on a train during "The Big Bang Job"
"The Van Gogh Job" (from a Tumblr user who has deleted their account)
Hardison, Parker and Parker 2000 in "The Carnival Job"
Parker helping Hardison get over his claustrophobia in the "Grave Danger Job"
Hardison helping Parker walk in funky shoes in "The Queen's Gambit Job"
Parker saving Hardison in "The Experimental Job"
first dates in "The Very Big Bird Job"
vents are better in "The First Contact Job"
Out of all the couples I've seen on TV, Hardison and Parker warm my heart. They know how to have fun together and they really do care about each other. It does take a while for Parker to warm up to Hardison, but that's because Parker grew up not being able to relate to other people. But Hardison knows she cares, and Hardison, at least for now, will always be on her side and vice versa.
Also, this scene from "The First Contact Job" where Hardison takes Parker on a "starlit" date inside Leverage HQ?
If I could melt, I would've.
Onto the recs!

Rating/Warning(s): Not Rated/Author Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings (PG-13ish; contains sexually suggestive language)

Rating/Warning(s): Explicit/No Archive Warnings Apply (sex)
Why This Must Be Read: As the summary says, "It's a story about two people with limited social skills getting laid." So this is realistically written smut, pretty much.

Rating/Warning(s): G
Why This Must Be Read: I know there are quite a lot of fics about the ending of "The Ho Ho Ho Job," but this is my personal favorite. Hardison impresses Parker by making it snow for her. It puts a smile on my face.
