leverage + and a pirates au??? they would make such cool pirates

innytoes:

Oh man, can you imagine. Nate used to work for The Crown, but after the death of his son he can’t deal with all the back room deals and rich people getting away with stuff and he’s like: FUCK IT, life of crime it is. We’re gonna steal your loot and make sure you pay for being dicks to ordinary people.

There are many legends of Pirate Queens around the globe. What noone realises is that three of them are all Sophie. (One legend of a dread pirate king is also Sophie.)

Eliot has done some bad things for bad people. When he finally managed to flee from the service of the Dread Pirate Moreau, he tries to keep a low profile. He can’t exactly go straight, his face is on too many Wanted Posters (he may have a Very Distinctive scar), and even long haul fishermen have to go to port eventually. Eliot is the reason nobody on the ship has died of scurvy. He can even make Parker eat her vegetables.

Hardison is always fiddling with new navigation equipment. Hell, he’s built more accurate compasses just because he can. There’s a reason they manage to outrun any ship the Crown sends after them. A lot of the jobs they pull is helping escaped slaves. The young ones get dropped off at his Nana’s, who never questions where Alec got all that gold. She just scolds him that he needs a clean shirt and a hot meal. 

Parker has been on ships since she was very, very young. Archie caught her trying to pickpocket him and promptly decided to make her his ‘cabin boy’. Once she was too old to be passed off as a boy, she was already such a fierce pirate that nobody questioned her. She does all the rigging. Nate really wishes she’d stop jumping off the crows’ nest. The more superstitious pirates whisper that she can control the weather. She never has any sea-legs problems.

The dinghy is named Lucille. They’re on their fourth one already.

Sterling, of course, works for the Crown and is still a smarmy bastard.
