I was complaining over the fact that on Ao3 there wasn’t many decent Henry Danger fanfics.

So I wrote one!!

I’d be honored if any of y’all decided to check it out.

Just found out that my grandma was a Roadie back in 1971 with the Statler Brothers for a summer. No pictures, no memorabilia, no witness anymore because everyone else is dead

Baby Dick Grayson as Robin meets the League and they're all gobsmacked at how Batman, who has an emotional range that goes from cynical wet blanket to unstoppable force of nature, has such a seemingly normal and happy kid.

"He must get it from his mom." Green Lantern said, trying to build some kind of rapport. "She approve of you running around beating up bad guys, little man?"

"My mom is dead," Dick replied and Green Lantern paled.

"Oh that's uh--"

"It happened right in front of us." Dick continued conversationally, gesturing to himself and Bruce.

The rest of the League start frantically signalling to Hal without using words, abort! Abort!

You said this perfectly.

Everytime someone says bring back Nate, I shiver with dread.

And for someone who's a really big fan of Nate, I really would hate having to see him come back to Redemption. I saw on a Facebook group I'm in where someone asked how Nate would react to the Jackal Job, and I remember thinking that Nate, the Catholic man, would either not be a supporter or simply not be able to empathize or participate in the con without prejudice.

Look, OG Leverage has a place in my heart for a reason, but I cannot justify bringing back Nate at all. Nate's story could never fit into Redemption for a variety of reasons.

OG Leverage took the experiences Nate had and made a point in every episode why the man does what he does.

OG Leverage was about revenge first and foremost, then doing the right thing after, then building something more.

You know the reason why the stories never mentioned the disabled, the LGBTQ+, or the plain old voiceless of immigrant communities (this one was touched on but not really)?

It's because it wasn't Nate's story to tell. The original message was, if you are in a position where you have been wronged, then you should have the power to make it right. You deserve a second chance. That's why he always dealt with the scammers, the rich white men, the corporate greed, etc. He always tried to give people a second chance from a dumb or honest mistake, or to right someone's wrong.

That's why the Black Book was so important by the end of OG Leverage. It closed Nate's story with the idea that what has been wronged will be righted even if it meant taking a less than legal approach by others who are willing to bring justice to light.

Redemption is not that story. I mean it is, but it isn't. Redemption is the story where those less fortunate, those who are inherently going to lose no matter what they do, get a voice. They deserve a say in how they are treated, and they, as much as the impoverish and the naive, can have the power given back to them.

It's shown with victims like the elderly, the disabled, the people of color, the young who don't quite fit the social norm, and the LGBTQ+ community.

Through Harry Wilson, Redemption also shows us that those with power, need to take responsibility for their actions.  It is not enough to fight those in power, but that people like Harry - who do have power, are vitally needed to change the system.

Redemption does not need to see Nate to accomplish this story, but the fact remains that the message Nate started is still here, if not more refined and nuanced than ever before.

Nate should not come back to Redemption because his story was told in OG, and now, a new story can begin where the crew can be expanded and fight for what's right as well as give every victim of an injustice, an opportunity to tell their story as well.

In Leverage Redemption when Parker pretends to be FBI she doesn't use the agent Hagen alias anymore. Now this could have a simple explanation like the alias being blown and no longer useful. However there is an infinitely funnier option.

Agent Hagen is a legitimate FBI agent now, and therefore cannot be part of any illegal business.

I mean, look, it's been eight years and over the course of the original show agent Hagen was pretty good at her job! At some point McSweeten either found out agent Hagen wasn't really an agent and made some corrections or someone working administration found out agent Hagen wasn't getting a paycheck and fixed that problem.

I'm particularly fond of the idea that McSweeten knows that Parker, legendary thief, is agent Hagen but also figures she's helped out so much that he might as well give her a job. Maybe some sort of special investigator position where no one will question that agent Hagen never shows up at the office. Sometimes he finds out about fake FBI agents from the other leverage crews and just... adds them to Hagen's team.

(And of course, all of this applies to Hardison's FBI alias too.)

Just thinking about horrified Huyang would have been if he’d seen Ezra’s first lightsaber - the infamous blaster-saber combo.

This is amazing!!!!!

Fine. I'll do it myself.

I’m hoping the next episode of Ashoka is a filler, just for the purpose of Ezra seeing everyone again, and a good chunk dedicated to Jancen meeting him. I want chopper to see Ezra and just immediately starts shocking him and insulting Ezra.

Hondo live action would be amazing

Everyone’s talking about Ezra reuniting with Hera or Zeb or meeting Jacen but no one has considered my need to have him reunite with Hondo, who would be the happiest to see him out of everyone

I like to think im funny

Dude, episode 6 of Ahsoka. I now have theory’s. What if Shin, goes to the light side. (This is based on her curiosity of Ezra’s training and his upbringing ) and Ezra helps train her in the ways of the Jedi? That would be sick. I might be shipping Shin and Ezra now (I’ve never shipped Sabine and Ezra, they are siblings) I’m loving the series.

It’s almost 12 am

And my mind is still racing

Thinking up a storm of ideas

Making myself restless

There are opportunities I should be taking

But I choose not to and feel useless
