#found ways to enjoy life in those overlooked margins of pleasure and joy
Text
read this post and i am now desperate for a leverage-as-old-guard au
#leverage#i believe we were meant to find each other#we dream of one another until we meet#existentially exhausted and somewhat bitter nate who has watched his children sicken and grow old and die and been unable to give them#this thing this 'gift' of immortality he did not ask for and would give up to have his son back in a second#sophie who might even be older than him (no one knows and she's not telling) who has lost exactly zero zest for life#(for all the lives she's lived they have each been different and each one worth inhabiting)#eliot who discovered his immortality in war and was pushed into using it for ends he regrets deeply before anyone else found him#parker who was different in a time different was not always tolerated; ostracized and made to feel outside; hunted and harmed#until she found she couldn't truly be harmed any more and would never take another second of it#she went elusive for a century or two on purpose refused to be found ran if any other immortal came close enough to finding her#found ways to enjoy life in those overlooked margins of pleasure and joy#and parker thrilled at feeling indestructible even before she knew she was#hardison could go two ways#either as in that post he's old as the dust of the earth and has forgotten more than the world has recorded and remembers even more than tha#who has somehow even still remained like a fountain of eternal youth past even immortality#for he is eternally curious eternally learning eternally optimistic about the nature of humanity#or he takes the role of nile; fearless brilliant young hacker with a problem with authority and a grin to light the night brighter than star#and maybe it's a job gone wrong; doublecrossed or run afoul of the wrong sort#maybe he is shot and is stunned to find himself getting up again from a tacky pool of cooled blood after#and he dreams; he dreams and it's shocking and vivid and echoes into the chambers of his heart#he doesn't just see these others he FEELS them#and even as they know they have to find him to stop the dreams he is already seeking them#(and parker off in her hidden life full of smirking secrets and quick-slip evasions dreams of alec hardison#and for the first time there's something in those echoes that pulls and tugs more than it frightens her and makes her wary#for the first time instead of running away#she runs towards)
