*waves hands* leverage fandom, you may now spontaneously grow

...Did it work? No? Drat.

Really, though, why not? This is a good show, people! It's kind of stupid sometimes, but that's okay. Think of all the fun toys we get to play with: Sophie, Parker, Hardison, Eliot, in fact, pretty much everyone except Nate, who's a bit tiresome with his epic angst but sort of essential when it comes to plot, so, damn, we

Eliot-as-a-woman would be amazing.

Also, fandom, please stop with the overwhelming amounts of Eliot/Nate already. And I demand more Parker/Sophie. More plotty female-centric gen and femslash! And always more Alec with anyone (epecially Parker! they are my favorites!).

[vanitashaze]

AGREED. Now to find someone to write her for me... *goes hunting*

Also agreement on the Eliot/Nate front. I do not understand the appeal of that ship, at all, except perhaps for those who have the overwhelming urge to stir up Eliot's Daddy issues and Nate's - er, just "issues". Leverage is all about family and friendship, basically - loyalty and support from the most unexpected of people - and Eliot/Nate seems like it would be if not the complete antithesis to that, then at least a serious case of malcontent en la familia. So, yeah. Bring on the Parker/Hardison! And if you really need confrontation, invite Eliot along, because he has an edge with Hardison, but it's not as bitter as the one with Nate, and as long as its not cash we're talking about, I'd think Parker would probably be happy to share. And if Parker's not happy, she'll just put explosives down his pants. Again.

Have you read thingswithwings' Fall Stories?

TRUFAX to all of that!

I think Alec/Eliot is sweet! As is Parker/Alec/Eliot. Truthfully, my only real issue with either of those is that I keep thinking Christian Kane's hair looks like he's been ironing it, and then I get distracted with the thought of horses, wild horses running free. ...I know, I know.

Ahahahaha, agreed.

I... am not sure what to say. In fact, I do not think anything could be. Your mind is a strange place sometimes, my dear! And yeah, they're totally sweet, which I think would weird Eliot out completely - you just know that after a week or month or whatever of Hardison and Parker he'd be going o.O; they just have that.... competitive edge. Geek vs Jock! Scientist vs Soldier! New school vs old school! Plus Parker to even things out - and laugh at their foolishness - because, you know, she is her own school, and right damn good at it.

Leverage fic is very hard to find, y/y? Maybe because of people's attitudes towards the fandom as a "staple". I can't think of a single writer who writes primarily Leverage; everyone just dabbles in it, and as a result, it's terrifically scattered. (Same with Kings. Grr.) But I'll keep my eye open

The second I get those DVDs, I am in that fandom, because it sounds like a good time.

[vanitashaze]

Are you kidding? It's a blast. And if you want the episodes now, you could just download them off the El-Jay; I get 'em from tvshare, no torrents involved.

I just watched the whole thing over a couple of days and it is wonderful. I love, love, love Hardison and Parker. So much good times fun!!! (Well, when not focusing on the death of a child or alcoholism and all that jazz.)

[vanitashaze]

Have you seen the latest episode? They're FBI agents! And before that, they dress in funny pastels and call each other Binky! (And Nate is, for once, hilarious. No dead kids or alcohol here, though as Sophie points out, there might have been a dead cat or two.)

[arabian]

I just wish they'd been Binky longer, "she likes air." Hee!! I totally ship them. Yes, Nate was hilarious.

Man, I so need to make a Hardison/Parker icon.
