broke: leverage’s pairings are nate & sophie and parker & hardison. eliot is like parker and hardison’s pseudo older brother
woke: leverage's pairings are nate & sophie and parker & hardison and eliot is pining for both of them but it will never happen
bespoke: parker, hardison, and eliot are in love. eliot pines for years before parker and hardison are like he's not going to make a move on his own and start their 'let's go steal an eliot' plan. hijinks ensue. they end up getting married

leverage pirate au
okay actually i want to talk more about this post
eliot is an ex solider for some sort of nobility, he hates uses guns after watching his boyfriend get his shoulder blown off, and he swears off guns and off the monarchy, jumping from pirate crew to pirate crew, never finding a place to 'settle' (as much as pirates can settle) until he meets nate ford
parker wasn't on any official crew, she would sneak onto a ship and steal their gold, before sneaking off before anyone noticed. she chose to stay with nate because she was still able to do what she did best, but with something new, something exciting (plus he let her hang out on the ropes, literally) she was raised on a rich man's ship, but she set out on her own when she was sixteen, honing her skills and gaining a name for herself
hardison was the forger. he taught himself how to do everything he knows in a small foster home. you want a map, he knows it well enough to create it from memory without needing any reference. he could navigate waters like it was no difficulty and create id papers out of basically thin air.
nathan ford is not a pirate captain, he is very adamant about that. he is on a ship that he is leading, and he is leading a crew of people but he is not a pirate captain. he's putting together a crew to take down his ex navy captain, who he was helping take down pirates stealing from noble ships.
sophie has grifted her way onto all sorts of ships, into all sorts of parties. no one has one clear defintion of who she is, but the britian nobility know her as the queen of india, the chinese government are hunting her for impersonating a princess, and most pirates are in awe of her. she's a legend, a story pirates tell to their other crewmates and an unknown to the people nate ford used to work for, unclear if she exists or is an exaggeration spread to scare them
nate ford used his last money that he has to build his ship, the lucille, which explodes once, gets attacked once, and set on fire twice. (hardison mourns it every time. if you get close enough to see the lucille, you'll notice four tally marks slashed into the wood next to the gold cursive, clearly done with a sword, or a knife)

when leverage said, "take your time. trust me." it really did change my life. it's not an extraordinary line at all. it's not even that poetic or anything.
but it's nate looking at sophie mourning a life she once lead and it's her saying she needs to leave to find out what she is now and even though he doesn't want her to go - even though that's the last thing he wants - he tells her not only to do what's best for her but to take her time with it. to take it slow because growth is slow. because dealing with the big things, the life-altering things is slow.
and then he tacks on the "trust me." trust him to hold together the team until she's ready to come back. trust him to know what it is to need time. trust him to be there when she returns.
i feel ill about it all the time. it's comfort and understanding wrapped in one. i'll never recover.

Well, my current Leverage hyperfixation has now manifested in the form of this fanvid... I have not made a fanvid in well over 10 years... Yikes.
Hope you enjoy! I've had the idea for a fanvid to this song stuck in my head for a couple weeks now! And, yes, it includes clips from Redemption.

Ok I’ve seen one crossover with these fandoms so there’s someone out there who’s both lol. The one I saw was Breanna being a descendent of Louis which I love but I present to you
This Art Thief
Supporting and knowing This Art Thief
The dramatic Theater Kid Energy, the need to support and lead their kind even if they never wanted too…. The love of guilty Catholics with Death Wishes

If I had a nickel for every time my ship danced at a high school reunion that wasn’t theirs I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
