Leverage Team Secret Santa

The Leverage team decides to do a Secret Santa one year.

Parker has no idea what to get Nate, "What do you get a guy with a weird controlling people thing??" until someone reminds her that he's also a "functioning alcoholic" so she looks up well-guarded alcohol and steals him a couple bottles of very nice, very pricey, formerly very secured scotch.

Nate gets Hardison some rare Star Wars and Star Trek memorabilia, along with a shirt that says "Age of the Geek Baby."

Hardison agonizes over what to get Sophie, he doesn't trust himself to do clothes (what if she doesn't like them or they don't fit?!) and eventually gets her a sort of advent calendar of ticket coupons. 12 venues, she picks the date, and Hardison will put her on their guest list/acquire a ticket (options are a couple spas and several theaters).

Sophie gives Eliot a set of high end cooking knives and some animal ice packs for post-mission bruises.

Eliot was going to give Parker money but then decided it'd be more fun to make her some cupcakes and hide a golden dollar in half of them. She thought it was hilarious.

How often do you think the team calls Hardison with the most irritatingly easy-to-google IT questions

nate- 70/30 ratio of serious questions vs calling because he thinks it''s funny

sophie- most of the time her calls are serious questions but once or twice she has called him for something stupid because she thought it would be funny

parker- most of her calls are genuine but she has spent so much time around him that she doesn't need to call him for a lot of things. she's more likely to ask him stupid tech questions in person where she can see his exasperated reaction

eliot- I would say this is a pretty even split between genuine questions and calling because he thinks it's funny. he has called hardison at like 2am asking how to restart his router (he knows how to do it- the call was payback for hardison pranking him two weeks ago) (hardison gets back at him by waking eliot up from a nap asking him how to throw effective punches or something) (eliot is annoyed but takes it as a serious question, much to hardison's horror as he is then brought to the gym for an impromptu self defense training session)

parker and eliot think it's hilarious to lean in like they are going to say something sexy and then say something like 'how do I install adblock?' or 'I don't need a vpn right?' his proceeding disgruntled rants are epic

breanna- hardison taught her most of what she knows computer-wise, and she's learned so much that she doesn't need to call him for questions other than very rare occasions. they will prank call each other about stuff though

harry- all of his questions are genuine, it never occurred to him to call hardison for questions as a prank. he will just as equally if not more call breanna instead

obsessed with nate and sophie being referred as hardison (and parker, and eliot)’s parents

Hardison: "Now, if he did expose you to a toxin, you may be experiencing some dizziness..."

Sophie: "Blackouts, memory loss, deja vu."

Hardison: "Vomiting, some pain in the bones, pain in your bowels..."

Sophie: "Blackouts, memory loss, deja vu."

Judge Ramos: "Didn't you already say that?" [Hardison and Sophie instantly back several steps away]

Hardison: "Ooh... It's just begun."

I LOVE THEM YOUR HONOR

Calling/Texting Sophie: The kids need their mom & Mom needs the kids

@twinklebitch yes to all of this!
