leverage ot3 description: three good robinhood-esque criminals that fuck over corporations and give back to the people that were hurt by them. ultra competent. hardison is a geeky hacker, eliot is a grumpy hitter, and parker is the best thief in the world (also canon autistic). eliot ended the og series saying that he would protect the other two till his dying day (directly after their parent figures got engaged. marriage proposal who?)

Description for Lucy/George/Anthony!!

Lucy, recently screwed over by a ghost hunting company, goes off to join another one.

She finds Anthony and George who have started their own small ghost hunting agency without adult supervision and going against most rules that have been put in place.

The three of them are now all living together and hunting ghosts and they become very close

The show seemed to be pushing Lucy/Anthony as a couple and George starts feeling left out as the two grow closer. He gets mad at them and ends up going off on his own mission, Lucy and Anthony go after him. George starts talking about how they don't need him and he's just the third wheel and then Lucy assures him that he could never be a third wheel and that they need him. Then they all fight some ghosts and escape together!

hottest sexiest moment in all of leverage is when “we are on a reset. the main objective is the girl, we find her and bring her back safe. we lose the chip if we have to, we burn connell if we have to.” and then “nate, if im engaged–” “do you worst.” and then “this is a goodwill gesture. what i want for it in return is your undivided attention and the benefit of the doubt. my name is nate ford and in a few seconds the phone is going to ring.” all with the screams of the people at the carnival in the background

The funniest trope I’ve ever seen is found family, but it turns out said found family is insane and has way more questionable morals than the original family.

Okay so you know how many time's Eliot's had to go undercover as a chef in someone else's kitchen?

Can you imagine the absolute DISASTER, The Office Job style, if it just so happened to be on a day Gordon Ramsey was doing one of his "surprise, this undercover customer is actually renowned chef Gordon Ramsey and this is 24 Hours To Hell And Back and I'm here to rescue your restaurant!" and Eliot's in the back like shit fuck damnit I had nothing to do with this nasty ass kitchen and here I am having to deal with THIS shit like

Ramsey: "AND WHERE WERE YOU WHILE THIS KITCHEN WAS BUILDING UP GRIME?!?!"

Eliot: [John Mulaney "over on the bench" voice while trying not to let the camera catch him head on] "I dunno man, I uh, i just got hired today..."

Ramsey: "oh, wow, hell of a time to join up mate."

Eliot: [nervously] "ha ha, right?"

And like... he wants to impress Ramsey but also not be Too Good at it and get noticed when he shouldnt be and he is just STRESSIN' trying to straddle that line, while ALSO trying to run the con like T.T

This may seem like an exaggeration, the idea that one can learn how to properly think like a criminal by learning how crime stories work. On a personal note, let me tell a story from the Leverage writer’s room.

Apollo Robbins (http://www.istealstuff.com/) runs a crew of professional thieves who consult for law enforcement. He was also our criminal consultant on Leverage. Every few weeks he would visit the writer’s room to advise on the scripts and keep us up to date about new cons and the latest in criminal technology.

One day during the third season he sat in with the writers while we broke a story. We posted the details of a real-life white collar criminal up on the room’s whiteboard, using him as the basis for our Mark. We looked at his weaknesses, how he moved his money, what his hobbies were. Once we were happy with that element of the story we added a Vault to the mix, one that used an interesting new alarm technology we’d researched. We then spent about an hour figuring out how to circumvent that alarm. We even sketched out a map of the imaginary building so we could keep track of our Crew’s movements during the Job.

“Well, I’m done here,” Apollo muttered. Noting our confusion, he pointed at the board and index cards cluttering the wall. “This is exactly how real Crews plan these things. This writer’s room is now a fully functioning criminal gang. You could be thieves.”

Of course writing television pays better than crime (usually), with far less chance of being arrested (usually), so we all managed to resist the temptation. But aside from the day a US Attorney asked us to change a plot because we’d created a scam that was a little too foolproof, or when a Homeland Security Agent admitted they were spooked by a security hole we’d exploited in our season finale, it was certainly one of the proudest moments I had on the show.
