season 4 of leverage is so. some of the most MOST episodes of all time. there is an office episode where the crew is literally filmed like an episode of the office. there’s an episode where a sociopathic white rich boy tortures homeless people for some college thesis project. hardison gets knocked out by sophie. “no one throws hardison off the roof except me.” archie comes back. chaos also comes back. chaos gets tasered (fuckign finally). parker makes everyone cry because she yells about wanting to do the right thing. nate and sophie think they’re being subtle about their funny friends with benefits relationship but the shenanigans happen. “YOU RECRUITED MY WIFE?” “EX-WIFE” parker reveals she has successfully kept a normal friend and everyone is so proud of her. hardison ate eliot’s fuckign sandwich. nate “i love foreplay” ford.

lowkey the fics where eliot is dean's ex are hilarious (the renegade job I'm looking at you)
other ideas that tickle me:
parker has known about the supernatural since a very young age. she never mentioned it to the team because she thought it was common knowledge.
sophie has gotten mistaken for a shifter more than once, but the hunters always figured out she was just A Really Good Grifter before approaching her so she never realized she was almost killed for being a threat lmao
sam and dean have a jumpscare when they see hardison. there is a lot of yelling and eliot posturing when they reach for their weapons (parker pickpocketed their knives, they found out. no one hurts her boys or her family) (if they really valued their knives they should have held onto them better smh)
nate actually had the winchesters on his Avoid At All Costs list bc murder and terrorism accusations. he was pleasantly surprised that they aren't technically serial killers (of people at least)
not sure if eliot knows of the supernatural beforehand or not. honestly, mr 'it's distinctive' 'what, I know a guy' spencer probably would be aware at some level. this is the character that was supposed to have a stargate crossover. maybe he knows the ropes just enough to protect himself (and his family) but stays out if it for the most part because that's not what he's really about
Browsing the Leverage fandom and was struck by the overpowering desire for a crossover.
Supernatural meets Leverage.
Eliot fist fighting demons. Sophie sweet talking an angel. Parker stealing from The Devil. Nate going up against God and winning. Hardison researching these two brothers and all the magical mumbo jumbo he never thought was real before and freaking out appropriately.
I want the ending to just be them sitting with the Winchester brothers in total silence in the wake of their total victory every single one of them shocked.
I want Hardison, hand over his mouth eyes wider then ever, to ask “What’s the plural for smite cause that’s what we’re all gonna be soon."
Only for Nate to look up at the sky half smirking half grimace, "That won’t happen. That would just be admitting we won.” And everyone just looks at him.
I want this. Desperately.

In the Leverage OT3 this is how I imagine the kinkiness going.
Hardison: Will make dirty jokes and tease and call people sexy, but is actually really vanilla in the bedroom. Don't tell anyone that he likes soft foreplay and cuddling. It embarrasses him.
Elliot: Seems like a southern gentleman, and absolutely is with people he doesn't know. But the second you're close to him, like really truly close? Freak. Service dom to the max, will make all your wildest fantasies come true because he can.
Parker: Knows more about sex than anyone in the group even tho she's never actually had it and really has no interest in it. Will watch the boys get it on, might even cuddle afterwards, but she's our Ace queen.

im so fucking good at making sexy little leverage aus and then never writing them. this is my ma spencer au, which has been lifted directly from my twitter with minimal editing, & which i am haunted by always.
ok so the au. this is going to be very long. every time i listen to spent gladiator 2 by tmg i think abt the leverage team/eliot specifically.
lyrics for context:
so i was thinking abt an au where eliot was never on the team, bc like. eliot fully got Out of the game, but interacts w them on an early case and ends up falling in with them anyways? BUT i also think a lot about how hard it'd be for any of them to retire bc there's people who hate them who know their faces, yknow? so how WOULD eliot be able to have retired &what has to change for eliot to be that comfortable getting out?
so i figure he maybe got out of the moreau situation earlier. maybe he broke up with the horse girl but they stayed on good terms, and maybe he never did the worst things he ever did for moreau because he had his Getting Out Of There chef connection moment sooner.
but that doesn't undo how recognizable eliot would be to various parties and i was like. well then. what if the chef who was that pivotal person for eliot was a trans woman and was as pivotal with eliot being gendery as she was with eliot retiring?
so like. early 2000s nonbinary/transfeminine he/she eliot spencer finding a few small towns to live in pretty at random but having a home in each one and cycling through them with no discernable pattern?? and being a loved part of the local queer community in all of them?
it's similar to my "eliot never left home and is luke gilmore girls but also co-created a queer bar in his town" au (aside: thank you @lycanqueer for pointing out that connection ages ago, i have been unwell about it ever since).
like . eliot!!!!! eliot probably first connecting with the team bc of the two horse job and slowly begrudgingly helping, joining in on the tap out job, etc.
eliot being like a parent figure to various queer kids in the different towns and they call him "ma spencer" and she wears his practical boots with flannels still but maybe they're with a more feminine tank top and maybe you're as likely to see ma spencer in a no nonsense knee length skirt as a sturdy pair of jeans. and maybe sometimes he braids her hair . and she's mr. spencer too and well respected by the folks of whatever town he's staying in, too stubborn and helpful and intimidating not to be!
eliot being openly down for a casual relationship both with parker and hardison from when she first gets to know them onward—and him keeping his past quiet still, but it getting harder to keep the parts of her life seperate as he finds herself getting closer with the team & with more serious feelings for parker and hardison.
maybe the team's hitter is Tara? i feel like she's capable of that? but she has to be the grifter when sophie goes on her break and eliot joins in "Just Once" but it ends up being more than that.
eliot would have a lot of complicated feelings abt joining in—like, both being happy with the peace she found & not wanting to risk that but still feeling like he needs to pay penance and that this is a way to do that.
and then season 3 hits completely different. i think this eliot would talk about his past once she found out they were targeting moreau, but i think team dynamics would overall be super different in general. the team would be way less of a unit with nate than when you see things from his perspective—espeicially without eliot always there to insulate the team from the worst of him.
anyways im gonna be thinking about this for the next 800 years. will i ever write this fic? probably no. but ma spencer is so real to me
