parker in the 10 li'l grifters job is delightful. she's dressed up as nancy drew. she's laughing at her boys being so cranky about letting sophie dress them up too. she only cares if nate killed someone and didn't tell them, not if nate actually killed someone. "there's something weird about these hallways. the dimensions are off." "wha- huh- the dimensions are off????" (<- actual genius alec hardison who can't see the world the way parker sees it) "do you have that thing with enclosed spaces?" *disappears into the walls* eliot has to adapt to a thief/grifter role and keeps assaulting the guests because parker's too busy exploring the secret corridors to pick pockets. she's having a blast and so am i

LEVERAGE GRIFT TRACKER

I FINISHED SEASON 1! Shoutout to @grandma-waldo for the idea

Extra details in the parameters and the job list. I kept a list of all grifts in order they occur through season 1. If I thought about it before hand I would have draw a line between each episode but oh well hindsight and all that.

Any questions? Yes I welcome them and I'll try to answer them. Want to know why I split something? Just ask - there was definitely an overthought process to my madness. Any ideas on adjusting job titles? I want to hear it please. I invested too much in this lol but it's been fun.

Season 1 was tough in trying to decide what the jobs would be while trying to keep them broad and trying to think so I wouldn't need to add anymore come later seasons . Also me and excel nearly got into a fight.

I'm going to do the rest of the show but that will be slow coming. When I figure out how to make a master list with links, I'll make one. Since this is like my 4th post on the topic and there will be a bunch more to come

Surprises and Revelations

- Hardison grifts in intense spurts

- there was only 1 real royalty grift in season 1??? And it was hardison?? But there were 5 Southern Belle/Beau grifts

- Sophie was the first athelete?? Ik I already posted that but it still shocked me (Olympic luge)

- Parker interacts with people more than most of the team - she thieves in the shadows but she talks to people often as a misdirection

- FBI and just an ordinary person (Civilian) were the most common grifts of season 1 > not surprised since everyone played FBI in pilot part 2

- runner up was The Damsel. Plenty of times the team did the Damsel and Damsel's Knight grift together as a misdirection. But going "oh no I need help" to a stranger/mark was more popular

- Hardison and Parker were the most likely to play the Damsel card

(Sidenote: i thought about wanting to know all the scams the team calls out in the show. "Burn scam" "the cherry pie" etc. But I think someone has already made a list but I can't find it. Also my family might kill me if I restart the show - again. I was already getting side eyes for skipping back a few seconds to check out who was grifting when I wasn't paying attention)

If you've read this far! Thank you! Hope you have a great week!

Headcanon- After Hardison is almost buried alive he keeps his comms in religiously, he doesn’t realize how often he wears it until he realizes Parker wears hers as often as he. Soon Eliot also starts wearing his all day, they all find the quiet sounds of each other calming especially after a hard case.

[aardvaark]

the 10 lil grifters job episode of leverage is so fun. we get to see our team attend a costume party. sophie calls her seasoned criminal coworkers "whiny babies". the whole time everyone is only like 80% sure that nate didn’t commit first degree murder behind their backs. parker offhandedly mentions that she robbed imelda marcos, and she clearly has no idea who that is. hardison has been inviting himself to the oscars for years. there’s a huge amount of references to mystery novels, movies and tv shows, not to mention all the fictional detectives you can spot in the background. timothy hutton is playing nate playing ellery queen, a detective character who was played by timothy hutton’s late father, jim hutton. we get to see all of the team use their skills in very different ways: you can’t hack a house that was built well over a century ago, so hardison has to adapt; eliot has to beat people up subtly and in public; parker’s spidey senses (aka extremely good spatial awareness) allow her to discover secret passages; sophie gets to do the amateur acting gig she’s always wanted; nate has to figure out how a crime was done rather than how to do a crime. at one point, parker gets offered a threesome. truly one of the episodes of all time.

Parker said in The 10 Lil' Grifters Job, "This place reminds me of my first grab...She had all these shoes."

At the end of The Nigerian Job, she asks Sophie, "What is it with women and shoes?"

Leave it to Leverage to bring things to a full circle in a very roundabout way.

I’ve always loved how 3 Strikes starts out as a cute gimmick episode and then suddenly kicks into high gear and launches us headfirst into the finale

Just noticed how similar this one is: 10 Li’l Grifters starting out as a cute little gimmick episode and then suddenly smacking us upside the head with the entire moral tension/character arc for the season.

Forever obsessed with “I’m Trish and I’m lonely” from the Bottle job. Tara didn’t have to hit us like that, but she did…

I think one of my favorite things about Tara is that, since the closest distance between two places is a straight line, she's just going to be as direct as possible.

She knew it would work ridiculously effectively, and so that's what she ran with. An icon!

Leverage 4x2 - "The 10 Li'l Grifters Job"

[faorism]

[lev:red 3.04 spoilers, very suggestive in the most mundane of ways?] while there are many closer by their house or hq, when they have the time eliot walks thirty minutes off route to go to a small family-owned pharmacy because he knows they offer hand packing of pills. probably why they're still in business; rare thing these days, and eliot may not have allergies, but he knows the resistances and sensitivites he's developed over the years, and he knows they can pack his shit right.

their home supply just ran out of simple antibacterial cream, and so eliot makes his way over. he notices parker, of course, a few minutes in, but he doesn't call her out and she hangs back. trailing him. watching him.

when he's picks just a tube of the cream, he hands it off to his side and (as expected) finds parker there with a basket. he peeks in and sees tampons, one of every kind of floss they have in stock, and a small bottle of the multivitamins hardison prefers, as well as (like a troubling promise of what their night might be like) lube, two boxes of sesame street band-aids, and glucose monitoring lancets.

eliot sighs, picks up the lube, and says silicone? really gonna need that? we still got some at—at her devious smile, eliot tosses the tube back in. right.

before he can drop his hand, parker snaps forward and steals it. she holds it up, examining the knuckle of the index finger. it bears the mark of where her canine tore into the flesh just a few days before. the area around it has now reddened, although it's thankfully not swollen or hot to the touch. yet.

it's still bothering you? you would think your body would have gotten used to my—parker chomps her teeth—by now.

agitated it fending off the goon squad, i reckon. eliot flexes his fingers. close enough to the bone im keeping an eye on it.

parker pouts thoughtfully, pressing a thumb into where he's most tender. should i pick up condoms?

made sure to not break their skin, so we should be good on exposure. there was once when he wouldn't have dared over a paper cut, but eliot has calmed down, putting more trust into PrEP and his ability to subdue without bloodshed. if you need them for your plans, wouldn’t hurt?

parker glances down, calculates, and then skips off. eliot follows as she snatches a box of latex gloves instead of condoms, hot & cold strips, and... yup, alright. she has definitely plans, judging by her pausing over the incontinence bed pads.

eliot shakes his head. deciding between comfort or absorption?

parker nods. given the greater utility, he reaches for the latter but perhaps his movement prompted her, because she snatches forward for one outside his usual dimensions for the widest.

no sharps in my ass, parker.

parker glares at him. i know that! she then... huh, shoves the basket at him and storms off. she lets him see her bump into a display to steal a chocolate bar on her way out.

her outburst surprises eliot. makes him pause. review their conversation tor any other obvious signs of distress, and finding no more agitation than her new usual since hardison left.

but she has been off.

eliot dutifully checks out (making sure they ring up the chocolate as well) and he doesn't have to go far to find parker. she sits on the old coin operated dolphin outside the shop.

gonna tell me what that was about?

when parker doesn't answer right away, he pats his pockets and puts the two quarters in, making parker rock back and forth morosely.

i take good care of you, parker finally says.

course you do, darling. it was a bad joke on my part. you're a good dom—

its not about that. ill do anything for my family.

eliot squeezes her shoulder. i know that too.

parker finishes off the chocolate and waits until the dolphin stops before she continues, voice small and eyes avoiding contact: was i too... she waves up and down her body. ...me this time?

how you figure?

bre got hurt. i scared the nana haters and they took too long and bre had to make a distraction, so. my fault.

oh, park...

she jumps up at her name and starts walking home. eliot matches her pace. he stops her, pulls her into the shadow of a building. parker is at a height with eliot, but sometimes it cna be so obvious how much more lean she is than him but how small she looks when she's feeling pathetic. eliot covers her jaw with his hand not busy with the bag of newly purchased items; he can see where she bit him against her skin.

i know they're, like, trafficking victims. but im still so angry at them.

we get heated during cases. harry had his own moment. you and soph conspired to get bre up there in just that case, right? parker shrugs, noncommittal.

im supposed to be better than that. im me.

that aint how this works.

it should be.

eliot kisses her lips softly, which she tolerates, especially as he puts their foreheads together. they stand close.

i had your back. you had mine, when i had to fight, figuring out how to get into the room fastest. sophie and me, maybe we overlooked how much anyone targeting a nana would make you invested and protective. oversight from sophie as our mastermind and, eliot swallows with a wobble, me as your partner. especially...

especially?

with hardison gone.

parker tenses up. oh.

i miss him too. i always miss him when he's gone away. miss you when—

in a breath, parker slips out of eliots grasp and starts speeding away, to the point eliot has to jog to catch up.

okay. i understand now. im done with those emotions right now.

alright darling, eliot says softly, seeing parkers walla go up rather than get emotional in public.

wanna go home. gonna poke and fuck you so hard.

eliot is excited to have sex with parker, whatever wild and potentially messy it will be. but as he scrolls aside parker, he knows he loves this too: walking by her side, supporting her, with hardisons name on his tongue.

The number of people on this website that's obsessed with Leverage really says a lot about our natural obsession for finding the world's greatest love story.

It also says a lot about what an amazing show Leverage is, so.

You should watch it.

And it's not just a fedora or ballcap. It's an interesting hat.

I think Dick Grayson would kill for Kate Bishop if she asked BUT I also think that Kate would kill for Dick if he asked

In the same vein, Jason Todd would also kill for Dick Grayson and Kate Bishop. Dick HAS killed for Jason, and Kate would if the opportunity arose.

Why does this matter? Because between the three of them they could have a stranglehold on organized crime. Jason's got drugs/guns, Kate's got like brokering/information, and Dick launders the money through his circus.

[fourdiagnosesinatrenchcoat]

I got conned for an embarrassing amount of cash this week and as a Leverage fan I'm feeling A Way about it. Bad, angry, and sad.

To roll my eyes at the client who gives a credit card to a guy when he said he was from the IRS, and then get myself totally beaten to a pulp with this semi competent contractor with a mix of ¼ truth to ¾ lies.

Where is my Hardison to look this guy up by his phone number and destroy him?

I keep seeing headlines about how anyone can fall for a scam, it's not just the elderly, or those without college education. And I kept thinking "yes but not me"

And that was hubris but also tracks with reality up until now
