i think about the fact that eliot’s counterpart for the “anti leverage” team was a woman a lot. and by eliot’s counterpart, i mean their team’s brute. their hitter. the one who beats up and attacks anyone who threatens the team’s plan. and eliot isn’t like “oh she’s a woman” even tho hardison was like “u weren’t gonna hit a girl.” and he was like “she killed a man with a mop.” he was scared of her. he respected her. he never once thought he could get the upper hand just because she was a woman.

I like the way the team compliments each other and appreciates their talents.
I do like the way Parker and Hardison just automatically turn around so they are back-to-back before he even says they are under arrest.

401: The Long Way Down Job
I just love the perfunctory, no-nonsense way Eliot hugs him, just “see you tonight, dear.”
GET TO KNOW ME MEME : [15/15] relationships
↳ Alec Hardison & Parker (Leverage)
So the thing is, I think that maybe I might be having feelings. Like weird, weird feelings for… pretzels.
#another day another leverage breakdown#but like let’s just be clear how important it is that at this point parker#parker who gave eliot and hardison a fake address at one point#parker whose living space is by choice a huge warehouse with lights that go on automatically#and her bed positioned at the center so that if someone were to break in while she slept#she would have plenty of notice and opportunity to spring up and attack#parker who is one of the most dangerous people on earth#parker whose trust issues are so deep-seated that her personality is in some respects literally built around them#feels so comfortable and so safe with her boys that she can fall asleep with another person – a person who at this point is a threat#holding her in the back of a police vehicle#and like yes i am aware that she is most likely just faking sleep but a) she’s still comfortable enough – trusts eliot and hardison enough#to close her eyes in front of this baldwin#and b) eliot’s ‘she bores easy’ is immediate and without artifice#she has fallen asleep during movies and monster truck rallies and that robot fight hardison took her to that time#she fell asleep at the rodeo (but woke up again when somebody got thrown)#she canonically took a nap in the back of hardison’s truck one time#and that’s SUCH A HUGE SIGN OF TRUST OKAY SHE LOVES HER BOYS SO MUCH#SHE KNOWS BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT THEY’D NEVER LEAVE HER BEHIND OR DO ANYTHING TO PUT HER AT RISK#and god that’s so huge for parker#like she grows and changes an incredible gorgeous amount over the course of the series but this to me is the most amazing thing#parker who started off with a briar patch around the spikes around the moat around the walls around her heart#parker who told them after their first job that she’d already forgotten their names#has grown to trust these men enough to let at least part of her guard down in front of a stranger because eliot and hardison are there#has grown to trust these men enough that (whether it’s what she’s doing here or not) she can fall asleep in front of them#WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CHARACTER. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SCENE. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL EVERYTHING.#thief juice: it’s a mouth crime (via gyzym)
