Ot3 this and ot3 that, but somehow this isn't posted every single day under the leverage ot3 tag???

What is even the point of all this

eliot's so gruff and broody and always making threats of bodily violence whenever people initiate contact but if parker wants to sit on his shoulders and play with his hair parker is GOING to sit on his shoulders and play with his hair

Leverage S04E17 The Radio Job.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. In Leverage’s The Van Gogh Job the old dude sees Parker instinctively offer Harrison a tissue and realizes they love each other. The whole rest of the episode hinges on noticing that one caring gesture. Then at the end of the episode Hardison sneezes again and Elliot immediately offers him a tissue just like Parker did… and I’m not suppose to see that as a gesture of pure love? That wasn’t an intentional canonization of the ot3?

two good ol' boys who are neither dating nor not-dating but a secret third thing (behind the wheel chasing down bad guys in lucille)

I’ve just realized that Hardison and Eliot’s “high five for moral” the same as Hardison and Parker’s “kiss for luck”.

The boys literally picking up Parker.

My two ot3s exhibit a very different type of energy.

Promise me you'll keep them safe.

Till my dying day.

the way it happened was that first they three were crew and then parker and hardison became friends, then hardison and eliot became bros before somewhere along the line eliot and parker quietly became companions. after that, they were so intertwined as partners them three together that one day they look at each other over a meal eliot prepared, in a home hardison built for them, after another successful leverage heist led by parker, and they are just... them. in love and in trust and til dying days.

Ever think about how Eliot is known - widely known, globally known - for violence? That he's killed and maimed countless people, sometimes with his bare hands? That hardened criminals, assassins, hear his name and are afraid? Ever think about how it must feel to have someone like Parker, who is fully aware of his past and everything he's capable of, get in his space and physically tease him and put stupid hats on his head like he's her own giant dress-up doll, with zero fear, zero hesitation? To be on the receiving end of that bone-deep trust, where it never even seems to occur to her that poking the beast could be dangerous?

I think about it a lot.

#i also think about the way Eliot yells at Parker and Hardison sometimes#because! he's so controlled! so soft-spoken! with everyone#because he knows he IS scary and dangerous. he keeps his demeanor so mild to put people at ease#but when Parker and Hardison get under his skin he shouts at them and shows his irritation#as if HE is trusting THEM to know that his anger will never ever come with violence. that he is never a threat to them.#he can let his guard down. he can be human. and cranky. and imperfect. he can be teased like a regular person.#i just wonder how it feels. to be seen as lovable and funny and playful and safe.#to be seen as a man after so many years of only being a weapon.
